The word aloha is something that many people have heard and associate with Hawaii. If you asked someone “what does aloha mean?” they would probably tell you that it means “hello” or “goodbye” but the true meaning of “Aloha” is much deeper.

To comprehend the real essence of the aloha meaning you have to understand that aloha isn’t something that can be defined. It is more of a connection and presence than it is a word. Aloha is a a way of being and it is a way of life.

Aloha is a hawaiian word that translates in to english as “the presence of divine breath”. The word Aloha is actually made up of 2 words. The word (Alo) meaning presence or front and face and (ha) meaning breath. While this translation might be helpful it doesn’t explain the true spirt of Aloha.

Aloha is a way of being, love, peace, compassion, and mutual respect. Aloha is to live in balance, and harmony with the earth and people around you. It is joining with the spirt of people that surround you, offering mercy, sympathy, grace and kindness. It is caring for yourself and others.

It is often used a greeting since it represents affection and mutual respect. The aloha spirt is about giving and receiving and leaving people whole. The more you put in the more you receive. It is the spirit that is in the core of each of us and connects us to the divine and each other.

Living Aloha is:

Akahi- kindness to be expressed with tenderness
Lokahi- unity to be expressed with harmony
Oluolu- agreeable to be expressed with pleasantness
Haahaa- humility to be expressed with modesty
Ahonui- patience to be expressed with perseverance

Aloha is so powerful that we can’t fully understand its significance. When traveling to Hawaii visitors are treated with the spirt of aloha. It is a strong presence and one of the reasons that visiting hawaii is such an amazing experience.

The great thing about the spirit of aloha is that you don’t have to travel to Hawaii to experience the gift. You can embrace the spirt of aloha in your own live and share it with others. Lets live in the spirt of aloha starting now…. Live Aloha.

“Aloha to learn what is not said, to see what cannot be seen & to know the unknowable.” -Queen Lili’uokalani

Want to do something different than the regular LA stuff? Sometimes it fun to just have a quiet warm evening chatting with your friends and family. One of the best way to get out and make some memories together is to have a bonfire on the beach.

There are certain beaches in Los Angeles that allow bonfires and even have fire pits set up for you to enjoy.

Planing Your Bonfire Tips

Arrive Early

There are only so many fire pits available on the beaches. You should get there as early as possible so that you can save your fire pit. Many people even get there in the morning, spend the entire day at the beach, and then they already have their spot saved for their bonfire.

Stay Warm

At night it is cold and windy on the beach. Even though you will be by a hot fire you will want to bring a jacket, or blankets.

Do Something Special

To make your bonfire even more fun plan something special. Maybe bring stuff for roasting smores, food, or some games.

Packing for the Bonfire

The best way to have the perfect fire is to make sure that you will have everything that you need. Also some of the beach parking rules don’t let you leave and come back. So you will want to make you you don’t forget anything. Here is a list of exactly what you should bring.

Fire Wood
Starter Wood
Matches
Newspaper
Blankets (some to sit on and some to wrap up in)
Flashlight
Stuff for Smores
Chairs (camp table)
Cooler full of Drinks and Snacks
Napkins or wet wipes
Cash or Credit Card for Parking Fees

Beach Bonfire Rules

Pick up your trash
Don’t use sand to put out the fire (use water to put out fires)
Bring your own fire wood (you can’t take wood from the beach)
Any grills or barbecues must fit inside the fire pit (2″ wide)

Your first time snowboarding or skiing can be exciting but a little scary at the same time. Since you don’t know what to expect then you have no idea what you should pack.

Making sure that you have everything that you need will make your trip even more exciting. Here is a complete snowboard trip packing list to make sure that you will be prepared.

Jacket

Since you are going to be in the cold snow you must make sure that you stay warm and dry. You should try to find a waterproof and insulated ski jacket.

Waterproof Ski Pants

You will also need some waterproof snow pants. Invest in some good comfortable ones that will last you awhile.

Snowboard

If it is your first time snowboarding you might not be ready to invest in a snowboard. Fortunately, most ski lodges offer rental equipment so that you don’t have to purchase your boots, ski, and snowboard.

If you do decide to purchase a snowboard for the trip don’t forget to get a snowboard bag and lock.

Gloves

You will want to make sure that your hands stay warm in the icy cold mountain air. Make sure you invest in some quality waterproof snow gloves or mittens. Either will work, just make sure that they say waterproof before you purchase.

Sweaters & Jackets

When you are hanging out at the lodge after your done skiing you will want to have sweatshirts or jackets to stay warm in. Since most ski coats are bulky and it might be dirty or wet from wearing it all day you will want to have backup options for keeping warm.

Warm Hat

Find a warm snow hat. There are a ton of different styles and colors just find something that is comfortable and covers your ears and forehead to keep you warm.

Base Layer

When you are spending the day skiing down the slopes you can get cold and wet fast. That is why you should alway have a thermal base layer. You can wear this base layer under your regular clothes and put your ski clothes over, or just the base layer and your ski clothes.

Snow Boots

Since ski and snowboard boots are very uncomfortable to walk around in, you will need some snow boots. Find a pair that is comfortable so your feet will stay dry even when you are off the mountain.

Water Proof Socks

Most ski shops carry ski/snowboard socks. They are a bit different from traditional socks since they are very insulated and made of a water proof material. They are also taller. Most ski socks cover your feet and your calf’s.

Sunglasses

When the sun comes out you will want to make sure that you have sunglasses. Not only are they good for protecting your eyes against the sunlight. The sunglasses also help to keep your eyes dry from moisture in the air and keep them warm so that you don’t have cold windy air blowing right in your eyes when you are skiing down the hill.

Sunscreen

This is another must have for a day on the slopes. This is also something that many people tend to think that they don’t need. It’s actually easier to get a sunburn in the snow since the sunlight reflects off the white snow and bounces right on your face.

You will want to apply it before you start snowboarding even if the suns not out yet. Just because you can’t see the sun doesn’t mean you aren’t going to get burned.

Chapstick

Nothing makes your lips dryer than cold air and wind. You should bring some good quality chapstick and keep it in your ski jacket pocket so that you can reapply it all day.
