Yabbiyab’s The Bomb Life Honolulu, Hawaii Travel Guide: Where To stay, What To Do, Where To Go

@yabbiyab      

Aloha! I go by Yabbi and I am a New York metropolitan based blogger but I enjoy calling myself a global citizen. Okay now that the icebreaker is out the way, let’s jump into this #Yabventure The Bomb Life travel destination. Hawaii is a place that is well known for its newly weds and honeymooners. Oahu is the appropriate mixture of natural landmark beauties and phenomenal beaches. This explains why it has 1.2 million residents in the state and the population is so dense in Oahu.

I’m giving you all the deets on what to do in Oahu from hiking, dining areas, and how to avoid getting your car towed. Haha…no but seriously. 

Hawaii consists of 137 islands but there are 8 main ones: Hawaii ( aka the Big Island,) Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, Kahoolawee. I stayed in Oahu and I was in the midst of Honolulu and Wakiki because I stayed in the center of downtown Wakiki.

Where to stay:

When planning an adventure, depending on where I am going, I set a list of what kind of feels I want to get from that destination. I ask myself do I want a luxurious feel, local vibe or aesthetically pleasing location? When booking the hotel for Hawaii I knew I wanted to stay where everything is and near the beaches of course, so I opted for downtown. Downtown has a beach? Yes it does. A few feet from my hotel room there’s a beach and it was a perfect coordination of city and island.

What to do:

Yes, Hawaii is part of American soil but I personally feel like it is its own remote country. Hawaiians have their own culture that they never tucked away. Though I was downtown I did not eat much local food plus I am a creature of habitat but of course I had some of the best pineapple smoothies since that is a fruit they are known for most in Hawaii.

I wanted to explore almost everywhere on the island so my cousin and I rented a car through Turo. Before leaving for Hawaii we both knew we wanted a jeep wrangler in Hawaii. We saw so many jeep wranglers we had to start counting how many jeep wranglers we saw a day. P.S Turo is the airbnb for cars, thank me later. 

Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden. Turo Car

What not to do is expect Hawaii to be budget friendly. I would always hear people that have never been to Hawaii say Hawaii is expensive…and yes they were not lying. A preparation tip that I can give you is to bring quarters and lots of them. Parking meters can be up to $3 USD for an hour of parking. Uber/ lyft rides can be more pricey.

FYI for my fellow vloggers and people who like to document their life, as beautiful as Hawaii is, there are many locations that are not drone friendly and some that strictly abandon drone usage and the consequences can be a heavy fine. You do have to keep in mind Hawaii has a big military base and we do not want our military to mistake a drone for a threat. I would like for you to return to your friends and family in one piece.

Where to go:

Byodo-In Temple  Kaneohe, HI

Some places I went to that resonated with me were Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden, Byodo-In Temple, and Diamond Head. Byodo-In Temple is a beautiful temple and it is very similar to the one in Kyoto, Japan. Not many people are aware that this sight is in Hawaii. Funny enough, shortly after visiting this temple Chris Brown drops his music video ‘Autumn Leaves’ and instantly I knew it was Hawaii he shot the video. 

.

There are many hiking trails in Hawaii. Diamond head was a precious gem because you are hiking a crater. Interesting fact: Diamond Head was created from volcanic eruptions. You can see visuals of all of these places in my Hawaii vlog Part 1 and Part 2.

I would have wanted to do Haiku Stairs, better known as Stairway to Heaven because when you are hiking you are literally in the clouds. Very dangerous and illegal hike but people do it. These three places I listed are a must see and of course we can’t forget about Pearl Harbor.

Best Halloween costume ideas for casino fans

Halloween is just around the corner and almost everybody is starting to prepare for this beloved holiday. However, everyone tends to find inspiration in things such as mythology or thriller or any kind of made-up characters that we’ve seen in countless fairy tales, Sci-fi shows, and whatnot.

But, what if you could choose a costume that would go directly with your tastes in entertainment? What if you could go to that local Halloween party dressed as something giving a strong casino vibe?

In this article, we will give you some ideas on how you can create some of the most interesting and eye-catching costumes for yourself as well as your friends. Some of them will indeed be based on Sci-fi or fantasy characters, but hey, as long as they correlate with anything relevant to a casino, they’re alright in our books.

So, without further ado, let’s begin.

Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland

It’s always nice to have some kind of source material and not have to do anything from scratch right? Well, the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland is probably one of the best inspirations you can take from a fantasy movie or fairy tale.

Although it’s not directly outlined in the story that Red Queen represents the queen of hearts, it’s very heavily hinted at it. The overall shape of her hair, the color of the dress and the small hearts sewn inside the dress.

It would be just as easy to simply change the color pallet and turn it into something like the Black Queen, where the red is replaced with black, and the emphasis on the hearts is replaced with an emphasis on spades.

Pinterest seems to agree with us on this idea, as there’s a bunch of dresses to be seen in the source we found there.

We believe it would be an amazing costume worthy of applause from everybody else.

A slot machine

As goofy as it may sound, there are actually costumes out there that you can either make, rent or buy that are basically interactive slot machines, well at least according to Casinopånett they are so, why not use them for a fun party.

The costume is very simple and isn’t necessarily designed for just women or just men. It’s pretty unisex.

However, make sure that when you’re designing the costume, you make sure that it’s interactive and can actually spin the reels if somebody pulls the lever. If you check the source, you’ll find out that it makes for a really nice ice breaker with strangers and an even better tool for playing games with friends at a party.

A roulette dress

Finally, let’s finish off this article with another dress for our female readers. The idea of the dress is pretty simple.

Imagine something which has the shape of a cone that has been cut off in the middle. You turn it upside down and simply mark it with the red, black and green colors that are present in roulette games.

If you’re extra dedicated to making it as perfect as possible, you can simply make this part of the dress from a special type of fabric that will allow a ball to spin and land on specific parts, thus creating a roulette from scratch of sorts.

Believe us when we say that this costume will definitely but you in the center of attention.

What to plant in your garden for year-round flowers

What’s better than spending time in a beautiful garden that has stunning flowers in it? A splash of color, sweet aromas, and looking at how nature works is a great way to spend a few minutes of each day – whether it’s a place to have your morning coffee or just something to look at as you have your hot drink indoors on a chilly day.

We want to enjoy our gardens all year round, and want to keep those rich colors through all the seasons. These are some of the flowers and plants you may want to have in your space to do that, depending on the soil and climate of where you live.

Spring

This is a great time of year to experience your garden – everything feels fresh, new, and exciting as we get to feel the growing warmth of the sun on us after a long, cold winter. It’s when nature seems to come to life again, too, with new plants and animals making their ways into the world.

Most flowering blooms do so during the spring, which also helps make this feel like a special time of year. Anemones, forsythia, and peonies are great flowers to choose for your garden. If you have trees, you’ll also benefit from their blossoms and are a great sight.

Summer

This is a beautiful time of year. The sun’s out, it’s warm, and we spend a lot of our time in the garden – either our own or other people’s – as we make this space another room to our homes.

Wildflowers such as poppies, echinacea, and primroses will be a great, low-maintenance addition to your garden that will add stunning splashes of colors in every shade throughout the season. It’s easy enough to get seeds from places such as https://www.naturesseed.com/wildflower-seed/ to bring blooms to your borders. The only thing you need to plan will be getting the seeds in time for planting.

Autumn

It’s time to put on our coziest jumpers, warmest woollies, and big boots. Once it’s time for pumpkin spice lattes and apple pies, it’s time for autumn. The tree leaves change to beautiful shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown – for many of us, it’s our favorite time of year.

You can still get other colors in your garden, though, including pansies and hardy begonias. You could also go for flowering cabbages and a variety of sedum plants.

Winter

The bright, crisp mornings can tempt us outside (unless we have to for work or school), but we’re usually wrapped up in blankets, and we conclude there isn’t much reason to go outside and appreciate our gardens?

However, if you’ve thought long-term for your plant choice, you should have evergreens such as hollies and other berry bushes that will add bright shades to the otherwise dull colors outside. Towards the end of this season, you might also get the likes of snowdrops peeping through – showing that spring is just around the corner.

MickeyBooom Says: Fashion meets Politics; 5 fall trends Influenced by Current Events

The old adage, “art imitates life” has always rang true, especially in the looping continuum through which fashion revolves. Each trend, print, silhouette, and texture of the garment being a reimagined version of it’s predecessor as time goes by, which will inform five upcoming trends, for both men and women. The way in which many people express themselves through fashion is an indirect reaction of the human experience and/or condition at that moment.

At no time in history has technology allowed people to express their reactions quicker than that of the now formidable beast we call the internet. While scrolling through amongst the inescapable issue of climate change, entertainment industry fodder, and especially Trump’s cringeworthy presidential blunders, there lies an overwhelming need to escape. This ideology has been going on since the dawn of the 20th century, for example, Christian Dior’s 1947 post-WW2 “new look”, which was a departure from the structural silhouettes of the time and a return to floral glamorous femininity (As seen on Cardi B at Paris Fashion Week). The female form was accentuated and the floral prints were bold.
A simple floral gown accessorized delicately will do the trick.

Parisian fashion house Balenciaga to this day sells whimsically done yet politically driven ready-to-wear garments which are basically reworked Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign logos. Though not spoken, this seems like a yearning for a more progressive thinking leader. This trend of campaign attire will rekindle itself as the 2020 presidential election kicks into higher gear.

The decades past offer a clue as to what we can expect in the near future. For example, Hedi Slimane’s collections for Céline are showing a 70’s inspired flared silhouette á la bell bottom trousers, which we are sure to see on the streets this fall. Do pair this trend with platforms to elongate the legs.

Based on the current political climate, youth movements like 80’s graffiti will continue, as seen in Versace’s recent ready-to-wear collections. The graffiti and print trend can be pulled off with gaudy accessories and luxe materials like leather.

The desire for the good times to roll will be evident as more celebratory hats such as berets hit the runways and sidewalks this fall. Rita Ora stood out as the guest of honor at a party during Paris Fashion Week celebrating her collaboration with Escada. Berets are best worn with statement drop earrings and luxurious fabric turtleneck sweaters.

In the midst of uncertainty there is hope and besides, people just want to have fun.

Some Tips For how to dress for the casino nights

Casino attire has been evolving over time. The evolution involves not only the staff dress codes but also customer clothing. 

In the earlier era of casinos, the employees were required to wear full-fledged suits and such official clothing. And while there was no strict dress code for the patrons, at some point they also started showing up in their long evening dresses and tuxedos.

In today’s casino industry, however, the staff dress code became less formal with uniform dress slacks, button-up shirts, vests, and bowties. On the other hand, the casinos started enforcing the patron dress code policies demanding more suits and evening dresses.

If you’re a person of free expression in any aspect of life and don’t really want to adhere to the strict rules of casino attire, you can always opt for the online casino providers such as PlayAmo, which is probably the best online casino Australia out there right now. But, in that case, this article is probably not for you.

In fact, in this article, we’re going to talk about some of the modern looks that you can go for when preparing for the casino ventures.

007-style

You may have already guessed it: we’re talking about James Bond. To be more precise, Bond himself and his Bond Girl, also known as ‘The Silver Fox’. This is the look that the majority of casino enthusiasts will choose most of the time. 

Both men and women are dressed up with a classic tuxedo or suit-and-tie and black or red dress with some pearl jewelry. With this classic look, the chances of you enchanting the whole venue and even hitting the jackpot are extremely high!

But jokes aside, the tux and an evening dress is the most common dress code enforced by the casinos. That’s why you’ll be appreciated by the administration even more.

Classic, but not too glamorous

This look is pretty similar to the Bond-style with its classic look. But the similarity only goes for the trousers and button-down shirts for men. Beyond that, they’re not required to overcomplicate their look with vests or ties or suits. 

As for women, they can dress up with a pair of trousers and a fashionable top. Even the heels are not mandatory; if they don’t feel like it, they can always go for the sandals and pair them with the long earrings to finish up the look.

The Flapper-Dapper

The Flapper-Dapper look is a full-on 1930’s look that you might have seen in many old (or modern retro) movies. The look is full of shiny and fluffy apparel.

The men can go for a tuxedo with opera gloves and shiny-shiny shoes. And for the extra touch, they can never go wrong with the Omega pocket watch! The Dapper look also goes well with the flashy money clip with fake (or real) money bills – it leaves an impression that you’re a player of the class.

Women should always opt for the famous feather boas and long or cocktail dresses. The look is complemented with deep blacks and lots of makeup – rich red lipstick with Smokey eyes.

Cozy Mingle

This is probably the best look for those gone-rouge gamblers who don’t really want to adhere to strict dress codes but also long for the actual casino experience.

For this style, men can go for khaki pants or dark jeans with polo shirts and brown loafers. And for women, a casual dress with a denim jacket and playful colors is the way to go.

With this look, you are ready to spin the slot reels as long as you like and then go on casually with the rest of the day.

Casino fashion in the actual fashion

While the dress codes and specific looks are certainly a thing for the casino venues, these looks can also extend to the actual fashion industries. Especially classical elements such as sequins and shiny fabrics.

For example, Moschino, the Italian luxury fashion house, organized a Las Vegas-themed show in 2017 which featured a lot of sequins, pastels, and Betty Boop-inspired attire. 

Even the big fashion names like Michael Kors, Balenciaga, Givenchy, and others get their fashion inspiration from the online slots games like the Golden Era and Immortal Romance.

Gambling and fashion are apparently getting along pretty easily; one would say, even naturally.
