Save Our Ocean!

With the current crisis in the Gulf of Mexico,

& ongoing issues concerning the ocean, and it's sea creatures..

We were proud to wake up bright and early, and join Matty Liu and the gang from Primo beer on a beach clean up.

The ocean and the animals in it are vital to us as humans!

It's our duty to respect, and protect them!

Tennis

One of our favorite things to do is play tennis.

We like to come up with themes- like neon tennis or pink vs. purple.

Wanna join the fun and have a tennis party?

Phenomenal Woman

Phenomenal Woman

by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size

But when I start to tell them,

They think I'm telling lies.

I say,

It's in the reach of my arms

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.

I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,

And the flash of my teeth,

The swing in my waist,

And the joy in my feet.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Men themselves have wondered

What they see in me.

They try so much

But they can't touch

My inner mystery.

When I try to show them

They say they still can't see.

I say,

It's in the arch of my back,

The sun of my smile,

The ride of my breasts,

The grace of my style.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Now you understand

Just why my head's not bowed.

I don't shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.

When you see me passing

It ought to make you proud.

I say,

It's in the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand,

The need of my care,

'Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Lace is a Hot Muffin

I'm so stoked...
This feels like an accomplishment of some sort, or
something.. anyways,
I've been a fan of this

Leo Greenslade - Alex Phountzi's
GREENMONEY
show on Brooklyn Radio for a minute now...

Somehow, after a few tweets, a lil hula persuasion,
I got a Hot Muffin segment on the show.

It airs online, and is FREE.

You say Macaroon, I say Macaron

OOOH lala!

We've been in a phase of everything FRENCH! One of our favorite French confections is the Macaron!

Do you know what is the difference between a Macaroon and a Macaron?

A Macaroon is an American word for a cookie that is often made with coconut and nuts. It's a flourless egg-white-based cookie that is often dense and chewy... but oh so delicious!

A Macaron is a French cookie made with almond and egg whites. It's sandwiched between a light cream and can come in a rainbow of colors and flavors.

For a list of places to get French Macarons in Honolulu, check out this

Lei Chic article on the Cookie Monsieur!
