Lindsay Lohan, who is currently on the island of Maui, HI on a mini-vacay with family and friends, spent a bit of time playing in the water with her little sister Aliana Lohan yesterday. The girls whopped it up together in the historic birthing tide pools looking as if they were having the time of their lives … behold:

Lindsay Lohan’s split from girlfriend Samantha Ronson has clearly been unhelpful in her constant battle to maintain a healthy weight. Now, in a bid to take her mind over her recent romantic upheaval, the Mean Girls actress is holidaying in Hawaii with her younger sister Ali and a few friends. But the troubled star’s weight loss was all too apparent when she showed off her skinny figure in a skimpy bikini yesterday. Following a heart-to-heart with DJ Samantha last Thursday night, the 22-year-old jetted to Hawaii for some much needed time out. Wearing a black and white bikini bra and black bottoms, Lindsay looked super slim as she chatted to friends and swam in the lava rock pools. In between swimming and enjoying the sun, Lindsay repeatedly checked her Blackberry for messages and made friends with a local dog. She also caught up on some reading with a telling book entitled The Little Teal Book Of Trust by Jeffrey Gitomer, which teaches the reader how to trust people and be trustworthy. Friends of the actress say her recent weight loss is a cry for attention following her split from Samantha on April 4 … Lindsay appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres chat show last week and told of how the couple’s break-up came ‘out of nowhere’ for her. After their meeting last week, Lindsay is hopeful for a reconciliation. Following their six-hour meeting at Samantha’s LA home, the DJ has now changed her relationship status from ‘single’ to ‘it’s complicated’ on her Facebook page. Lindsay told Ellen: “I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens. Maybe when we’re fully in the right place. I love her.”

While I think this little holiday in Hawaii will do the girl some good, I really think that Lindsay needs to take care of herself a bit more. Seeing her this happy is great but she really does look frail in some of her recent photos. No matter what happens with Samantha, she needs to put herself and her health first in order to find happiness. But, again, I think this trip with family and friends will do wonders for her disposition. I’m rootin’ for Lindsay to find happiness … but she really needs to find it within herself rather than in someone else. Rest up, Linds!!
