I think that beauty is not just about appearances but also about how we feel about ourselves.  I create products that beautify your skin, but the aromas, textures, and sensations of my products can also make you feel beautiful.

Here you will find beauty secrets and tips that me and customers share.  I will also talk about new ingredients and products that Malie develops and how products come to be.

Summer is here! And the plumeria's are in full bloom. They have a stunning array of colors from white to yellow, peach, pink and red! I love mixing the different colors when making plumeria lei's. Plumeria's are plentiful here in Hawaii and I just love seeing the bunches of bright colors everywhere! Not to mention the exotic aroma! Sometimes I, myself am amazed at how our Hawaiian Hydrosols can actually capture that fragrance and have it smell almost exactly like I just picked a flower! And even more amazing is how that aroma is captured naturally and organically! In just a few weeks we'll be launching our new organic plumeria collection and it features a beautiful pink plumeria lei on the packaging. I think I'll have to make a lei for all the girls in the office on that day to celebrate! Look out for our new organic plumeria collection launching in just a few weeks! I think you'll be amazed too!

"...May Day is Lei Day in Hawai`i Garlands of flowers ev'rywhere, All of the colors in the rainbow Maidens with blossoms in their hair Flowers that mean we should be happy, Throwing aside a load of care, Oh, May Day is Lei Day in Hawai`i Lei Day is happy day out there." ~ Red Hawke, 1928 "May Day is Lei Day in Hawai'i" -- A song, a custom and a day full of festivities! In Hawaii on the first of May, everyone wears flowers, schools stage pageants, contests are held for the most beautiful lei, a Queen is crowned, hula competitions are held and the flowers of Hawaii are honored. Today is May Day and it is reminding me of the beautiful Plumeria lei watercolor art Malie is using on the new packaging for our organic Plumeria collection, which after some delay, will be launching soon! The beautiful aromas and colors of all the amazing flowers used in Hawaiian leis today are a reminder to us how special all the Hawaiian ingredients we use are. Today is a celebration of flowers! I think I'm going to celebrate with our jasmine rose, beautify organic spa ritual!
