Last night we had a lovely “honeymoon”… literally the “Honey Moon” was out (details on the Honey Moon in case you’re wondering - it will still be pretty spectacular tonight. It’s the perigee.) but it was also a feeling of being on honeymoon because we took part in the “Hō’ā i ka lama Lights Out… Read More
The June full moon is called the “Honey Moon” because it stays close to the horizon which makes it appear to have a warm tint. This is due to the scattering of longer wavelengths of light through dust, pollution and other particles in our atmosphere toward the red end of the spectrum. The most… Read More
My hubby and niece started yelping places to eat while we were at the Miss Hawaii pageant in June. At 10:30pm there are choices but definitely less choices than if you have dinner at a normal time! lol For this place, however, going at an odd time is a good thing. It’s tiny! Probably… Read More
In a performance protest against the Australian shark cull and the global slaughter of sharks, Hannah Fraser risked it all to dance on the sea floor with swarms of tiger sharks up to 17 feet long without any dive or protective gear. This woman blows me away. Truly. I have a great amount of respect… Read More
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
