Summer Party at Christopher Leege's

Christopher Leege and his amazing girlfriend Larisa are having a summer Luau party this Saturday!

Christopher Leege's Luau in Charlotte

 We've got nearly everything covered!  From Leis to Hula Hoops and tiki torches galore.  This will be one party in Charlotte to remember!

Hele mei hoohiwahiw! | "Come celebrate"

Summer is here and we need to break out the leis and grass skirts...
It's hula time!

Bring Hawaiian/Luau inspired food: We will have food available, but feel free to bring some Hawaiian/Luau inspired food to share. I will have the BBQ available, if anyone wants to bring something to grill. Below are some ideas of where to find Hawaiian foods. Feel free to share what you are bringing in your comments.

Something to drinks: I will have some mango Mai Tai and soda. Whatever else you want - please bring it.

Dress up if you want: Hawaiian shirts, patterns, leis, coconuts, grass skirts... I will also probably have some extras of leis and we will do a tacky Hawaiian t-shirt contest. If you want a real flower leis; you can order one from: http://www.hawaiiangatherings.com/leis.htm

Hawaiian Music: I will have some traditional Hawaiian music and then we can change to dance music later if we want. Or play games... If anyone can hulu or dance with fire; let me know. :)

Lomi Lomi is a salad of tomatoes, onions, chili peppers and salted fish, usually salmon.
Papaya is a widely available fruit.
Pineapple is a widely available fruit.
Poi consists of taro roots cooked and smashed into a paste. It's very popular in Hawaii to simply buy poi already prepared - often in a can.

Spring Cleaning

Its amazing how much stuff one accumulates over the course of a year.  Well, as the cliche goes, its time for SPRING CLEANING!  Chris Leege is at hard core!  Maybe I should call it summer cleaning since spring did start some time ago no?

Check out Martha's list of must do's for Spring Cleaning here.

A long time ago

Back when I was barely 20 (and not racing towards 30!)  I was lucky enough to be chosen by the CSCMP for their internship and scholarship.

You can find out more about it here.

Thanks for reading!

Branding Yourself

So, I've been told it's time to create a web presence. I'm not much of a writer or blogger, nor do I keep a personal journal. I have, however, stumbled upon an interesting site to help me keep track of all my online activities.  It's called brandyourself.  You can find mine here or here.

There's not too much content there yet, but I'll be updating it as frequently as time allows.

Have a great day!
