menehune mac snack attack

okay, so i knew that menehune mac would have you covered in the chocolate department, but even more enticing are the snacks from the hawaiian chip company carried on mm's website. onolicious flavors like garlic taro chips and kilauea fire sweet potato chips are more than enough to kickstart my craving for something crunchy right now.

however, the mango pasta from sun noodle sounds like a curious food find for the more adventurous foodies amongst us. fruity noodles may not be my thing but the macadamia nut pasta would be welcome on my dinner plate anytime.

'oiwi ocean gear

lanikai board shorts

you know you're an ocean warrior if sitting on the beach and admiring the waves from afar makes you want to jump into the water. before you jump into your canoe, check out the paddling line from 'oiwi ocean gear. the hawaii based company designs functional pieces tough enough to take the punishment of island waves but adds just enough style to catch everyone's eye as you glide over the water.

if you can't make it to their kailua shop, stop by athleta's website and take a peek at 'oiwi's retro lanikai line online.

do the hula tees

what to do when you have a closet full of clothes and still feel fashion challenged? reach for the ever reliable backup outfit - the t-shirt & jeans combo, of course. unfortunately, many of the tees in your closet look like they're from the 80's and not in a trendy, bananarama kind of way (somebody had to tell you).

enter do the hula and their line of retro graphic tees which tap into the pre-glam era of waikiki before the designer boutiques set up shop on kalakaua avenue. and if you really want to do old school right, check out their one of a kind vintage tees which have been freshened up for the 21st century.
