The “Taste of Chocolate” at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is an event I truly look forward to! I’ve covered it before for Hawaii News Now so I already knew how amazing the chocolate, drinks and atmosphere was. Plus, the celebrities that are being honored during the Maui Film Festival usually show… Read More
Doesn’t look good, does it? I mean it’s not terrible but boy does it hurt right now! Today I went surfing for the first time in a looooong time. In 2012, I was PREGNANT so I didn’t surf. In 2013 I had an infant so I had NO TIME to surf. In 2014, I’m… Read More
Lets all kōkua and turn off our lights and any electricity from sun down on June 13 (the next full moon) to sun up on June 14 to help raise awareness of global climate change and to show our support for the Malama Honua Worldwide Voyage! I’m sure going to try! I think Jackson will… Read More
Evan Rachel Wood has been in movies with Ryan Gosling and George Clooney (Ides of March) and is a phenomenal singer but to be honest with you I actually didn’t really know who she was. That definitely changed. Evan did the press interviews and photos like the rest of the celebrities – we in… Read More
It’s a SMALL world! A couple months ago I went to LA to be a contestant on Hollywood Game Night (click on the link to view episode)… Joe Manganiello was on the week prior! (Here is his episode) We literally were ships passing in the night. Crazy to think that I was so close to being… Read More
My son is a monkey! He climbs EVERYTHING. It started with climbing from the couch over to his high chair. Which totally freaked me out. I turned away for a split second and he’s on his tray table! Then it was his musical table… at least this one wasn’t as dangerous or as… Read More
“Life is always about the journey. It is about the highs and lows, the wins and losses, and most importantly the lessons we learn from our mistakes. As I prepare to take the Miss Hawaii stage for one of the most important nights in my life, I reflect back on this journey, and am… Read More
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE poisson cru! Literally the French name translates to “poisson” = “fish” and “cru” = “raw” … sooo it’s “raw fish” but it’s also so much more! Sashimi is awesome and so is poke (pronounced poh-kay) but the Tahitians came up with a tangy, zesty, fresh, healthy way… Read More
I’d imagine that red carpets and back-to-back interviews could get a little exhausting for an actress. Reporters are asking the same questions and repeating yourself over and over isn’t… well, fun. If that’s the case, I didn’t get that vibe from Emma Roberts. She and her fiancé, Evan Peters, are in town for the Maui… Read More
We just got back from the first night of the Maui Film Festival. What a great night! Work hard, play hard… my camera guy, Jon, came to pick me up and we were at the Seaside Cinema at the Grand Wailea around 6:30 / 6:45pm – from the Elevators on the 4th floor you… Read More
The Maui Film Festival is the event I look forward to ALL year. It’s got everything – movies, food, events, celebrities, community and it celebrates Maui. What more could you ask for? Three years ago I covered the film festival for Hawaii News Now (see video below) – but now, as a Maui resident, this… Read More
