Our season!

Did you already go to the beach this year?

These days, most of customers are looking for swim wears.
I realized, summer is came! by them.

Our swims are also popular for elderly ladies too because especially the rush guard can cover their body line where they are worrying.
(Actually, they really worry about their line of body...)
But, it is not a reason.

Our swims are cute!
This is the most important, yah?

You can see our rush guard from here


By the way, I have white boad shorts.

This is really useful not only the beach, but also as daily wear.

Foster Botanical Garden





A large series of gardens designed for the scientific purposes of planning, developing, curating, maintaining, and studying tropical plant life make up the Honolulu Botanical Garden. These gardens are split up into five districts that each present different ecological conditions for the plant life within them.
Visiting these beautiful gardens is completely free except for the Foster Botanical Garden which is a sort of crown jewel of the group. It is set in the middle of the busy city of Honolulu and filled with some of the most exceptional tropical plants that one can imagine. While the Foster Garden is set apart a bit from the others, the others pack a pretty good package of plants as well. Whichever set of gardens one chooses to visit, it is likely to be a visit worth remembering.

Lei



[How to Give a Lei] A lei is traditionally presented to another person by placing it around their neck and giving them a kiss on the cheek. Some say a more traditional and respectful way to present a lei is for the giver to to bow slightly and raise the lei in front of themselves, at about heart level, letting the other person take the lei and place it around their own neck. In modern times it is more common for the giver to place the lei around the recipient's neck along with a kiss. Note that it is considered bad luck to wear a lei you plan to give to someone else or for a pregnant woman to wear a closed a lei. Any lei can be made open and pregnant women should always wear an open lei.

[How to Receive a Lei] It is disrespectful to decline a lei if one is offered to you. If you are allergic to any of the lei materials, or if you are not in a position to wear a lei that is presented (for example if you are playing amusical instrument) the lei should be put in a place of honor to show respect for the giver. A lei can be worn for any occasion or no occasion and it is fine for you to purchase your own lei.
