Things We Love

Hi friend,

Happy aloha Friday! As you probably know, each week, we share about things we love—and think you should know about—throughout the islands. This week, with Valentine’s Day coming up, we just couldn’t help but highlight items with pops of pink, reds, hearts, and general indulgence. It’s time to treat yourself (or your special someones)! We all deserve a little more joy right now.

We’re also sharing Kelia Moniz’s feature in HI Luxury. Expect stunning photos and a fun peek into her life.

And, of course, there are plenty of beauty, shopping, and love-centric workshops and events happening over the next few weeks, so check those out below. We’re especially excited about the Galentine’s Day event with Honest Rituals because #wellness.

Sending love,

The Edit Hawaii team

Oahu-born Kelia Moniz is on the cover of HI Luxury magazine. The feature story talks about her transition from professional surfer into mother and entrepreneur and how her shop/brand Honolulu Pawnshop came to be (one year ago this month!).

"I'm excited to celebrate the things of our lifestyle that are often overlooked. Things that maybe don't look as aesthetically pleasing to the eye but are so important to the community — and that is its people, the small in between moments. I think the culture here in Hawai'i is that we value time spent, and sometimes that's just doing nothing on the beach. I think that's beautiful." —Kelia Moniz
