About
Aloooooha!! Hey guys! I'm Malia. I'm a clean beauty activist, entrepreneur, and boymom. I have a (somewhat unhealthy) obsession with re-arranging furniture, I love hanging with my 2 sons, and I have deep deep cravings for Starbuck's almond croissants. Honestly, isn't everything better on a croissant?
Becoming a mom (2014) was something I always wanted, but for me, it wasn't planned out. I spent my first pregnancy in a pretty volatile relationship with my boys' dad. It was challenging but I have amazing family support and my pregnancy (health-wise) was terrific. Koamalu was just the perfect little baby and being his mama, even when I was on my own, came naturally and was so much fun! I've had the wonderful fortune of working for my dad's company since my first was born. So I left teaching and got into office work at my folks' home office, so that I could have my little one with me. There were some nasty valleys during Koamalu's first year and I ended up back home with my parents with my baby boy. With some encouragement and help, my boys' father and I tried to create the whole family unit we thought was best for us. We had La'akea in September of 2016. We weren't able to sustain and for quite some time now, we've decided to go ahead and co-parent our 2 boys separately.
Being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom has its own set of challenges. And if that's your gig, you know what I mean. Through my work with Beautycounter over the past 2 years, I've been able to meet and connect with so many women and moms and hear about their lives. I also attend networking events, church groups, and am part of several online communities. I hear common struggles from moms at home and decided we all need more connection, support, and helpful resources. If I can help provide solutions to daily challenges and make your life (and mine!) a little more balanced, a little less stressed, and a lot more en-JOY-able, I would be so honored!!
So this blog is dedicated to you, my friend. My goal is to provide you with something - and hopeful some THINGS - that will make your mom life journey brighter. You deserve to wear your title with honor and feel amazing about what you're doing. Let's rock this role out together!
