Welcome New Soap Fairies

At Sunday's shift change, Brook snapped a pick of four Soap Fairies.

From left to right: Lia, Tori, Patty and Carly.

Welcome to both Patty and Carly, our newest Soap Fairies.

P.S. and a special aloha to Tori, who is leaving for the University of Chicago shortly. The best thing about Christmas for us is welcoming back Soap Fairies like Tori, who return from college to help us in our busiest season.

Soap Fairy Is Football Star

No Kidding. Petite Kelsey, one of our weekend soap fairies is a soccer standout.

So she tried out as a kicker for her school's football team. And she got on the team.

Who says women and girls can't do everything they want: a soap fairy and a kicker,
wrapped up in one!

Choosing Naupaka...

Chosing Naupaka for our logo was simple: beach naupaka, the beautiful half flower with the luscious green leaves (they are fat ..a Hawaiian jade plant) that line the high water marks of our beaches make a beautiful frame for soft white sand and blue blue ocean.

Beach Naupaka apparently grows elsewhere in the world, but its other half, the mountain Naupaka, is only found in Hawai`i.

We also named one of our favorite products Naupaka -- coconut lime verbena -- as a tribute to, and a way to reunite the lovers who were torn apart by a disapproving father -- sending his daughter to live at the beach, and her lover to live in the mountains...

Buddha Surf

My husband's allergies have gone completely berserk, and the wonderful scented lotions from our store drive him crazy. So I've started using Buddha Surf, our unzented lotion.

It is really fabulous, and of course, now he has to blame his allegies on something else. With Buddha Surf by my bedside, I can take care of my weary face as well as my body.

Another benefit: When my husband leaves the house I can put on a favorite perfume
that doesn't fight with my new-favorite lotion.

Enjoy Those Inevitable Rolling Blackouts...

That will come with overloaded electrical lines in the heat of the summer.
Your air conditioning will break down, too, making matters worse...

Address the problems, including the errant smells, by having a fresh supply of Lanikai Bath and Body candles on hand. The glow will make you smile, and the scent will remind you of Hawai`i, until they turn the lights back on...

Order them in bulk at Lanikai Bath and Body.
