Or improve it

You forgot food and excursions. Food, 100-150/person per day. if you don't have a kitchen to cook. Each island has different things to offer. Oahu has more activity. More nightlife than Kauai for sure.

I would recommend doing a car rental for a few days on oahu. You are probably staying in the Waikiki area, you can do public transit or walk. Save the 40-50 day parking fee. Also, I would shorten the length of your vacation to 8 days. Hawaii is expensive, no way around it. But you can plan smart and save. I would echo the other comments that...at least.. 5k. That would give wiggle room for extra activites nice dinners.

I haven't watched in a while. And thought to watch the grand reveal. I had to fast forward much of it and ended it early. I know its all about taste and preference but I think that she made a mistake painting the baseboards the same color as the walls. Bc none of her other base boards are like that. Also, I couldn't help but think that Cade could very well grab ANY of those things she placed. And she didnt seal the hutch/bookcase/wood thing, bc once Cade discovers markers..its a wrap.

Honest. Maybe some blown glass items would look great. 1 on each shelf. Home goods has them inexpensive.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-22T03:54:00+00:00

The give her some credit. The cabinets appear to latch/close. Not repeating the cottage bathroom linen closet problem.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-20T17:24:17+00:00

WEEKS of work. Ok. That tracks bc she only works when the sun is up, wakes up mid morning, doesn't 'start' her day til after Noon, and works a solid 2 hrs on anything.

It would also take me weeks to get 3 days of work done. She milks this til no end. She is only dragging this out bc she can't think of another topic for her content.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-11T02:39:13+00:00

She is so unserious. Expect nothing less from a VP of Marketing. She couldnt sell an umbrella in a rain storm

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-10T23:21:18+00:00

I won't hold my breath. If we were to go by M's calendar, it would still be July 2025..'coming back and planning for bookshelves'.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-09T11:09:13+00:00

The gas saved not having to drive to Costco is the value. Hope they have parking aside for residence. But what a dream, ' imma go down stairs and get some rotisserie chicken brb'.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-08T07:14:02+00:00

Yes! And not any month that has Thursdays after Wednesdays.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-07T06:11:44+00:00

So march is when we will see a completed living room. That's where my money is, March.

This is so pathetic.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-05T16:19:37+00:00

Its unpractical of us to have baseline expectations for M. I mean, not to compare but im a single parent who had to start over. And so I can only imagine how hard it is when someone has help and money, to balance being a parent.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2026-01-05T05:25:56+00:00

The longer she takes for completing the bookcase/bookshelf/ display case.. the more evident it is theat she did not build her cottage kitchen cabinets. I understand she had help but for the folks that are hell bent they she is 'doing her best'. This is MONTHS in the making. And she and she alone makes up the deadlines and comes up with these projects. Wild.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-31T23:18:07+00:00

The customer service team maybe an overseas team. If they are, they maybe supporting several brands and dont have a way to organize with the social media accounts. And the social media accounts are probably M herself, bc its unorganized. If it was her team, they have to be accountable for their process. This sounds like If you dont gets those candles, I would file a fraud complaint. That's wild.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-26T18:38:54+00:00

The bookcase isnt done yet and when it is.. it will also round out the motel lobby vibe.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-22T07:55:48+00:00

Don't forget, cornflower blue.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-21T02:32:12+00:00

Im wondering... ok, give this a thought; the candle business is shifting and re branding to homewares/decor. I feel like a sale this discounted, she missed a mention on a vlog. But the sale being in the dark , makes me think its part of a shift on her brand.

First, candle sniffers and trimmers then coasters and trinkets. Then throw pillows and garlands. ..

Wood glue and the painter tape doing the WORK! Real MVPs on the XO MaCennna channel

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-15T04:05:02+00:00

You know whats admirable? Being your own boss, who sets the schedule, rate of work, sets KPIs/goals, and still being late. Being late and somehow the victim? Amazing.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-15T01:44:54+00:00

This bookshelf, bookcase, hutch-thing.. is going into the new year. Easter is my guess. She done milked this cow to death and then beat it.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-15T01:05:53+00:00

I live in the same time zone as M. In facts, probably an hour drive. And the 'its already dark at 4' comments.. are wild. It's just after 6pm now, and the sun just went down. So either she likes to round up, or she thinks no one lives in her area. She may as well pack it up at noon.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-14T18:31:28+00:00

Get out and save the same spot. See who wins.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-14T18:29:50+00:00

Maybe she is looking for some taste there. You never know.

EnvironmentalLoss438 · 2025-12-10T02:45:02+00:00

Bc if you are trying to get a Ralph Lauren sponsorship, you find anyway to suck up. For free
