Where to Eat: Nisshodo Candy Store
I've never even heard of Nisshodo Candy Store until I started doing mochi research for this trip. Out of the hundreds of times I've been to Hawaii, I never once thought to look for mochi. It's always been shaved ice or malasadas, but it totally makes sense that mochi would be popular in Hawaii too since it's heavily Japanese influenced. I'm not a big sweets person by any means but I'm a fan of mochi
What to Do: Maita’i Catamaran
I first saw Maita'i Catamaran on Groupon last year for almost half off the original price and it had over 7,000 reviews. I was with a couple of my friends for my birthday in Oahu and we all decided to buy one and try it out. I had so much fun on that boat ride that I decided to do that same exact boat trip again this time with my best friend. It's probably one
Bottega Veneta Hawaii Pricing Guide (Jan 2022)
I just did a recent post on Bottega Veneta Hawaii about a month ago but I feel like I wanted to update everyone since some of the prices have already risen. Not for the Mainland U.S. prices, but the Hawaii prices have increased since the last time I went back in October 2021. If you are interested in Bottega Veneta, I HIGHLY recommend going to the Waikiki store because it's one of the only stores

Here is your updated Louis Vuitton Hawaii Pricing Guide for January 2022! If you haven't read my first guide yet, you can find it here. In that guide, it'll show you more pictures and items from my visit last year. This year, I try to concentrate mostly on classic bags and accessories.

Where to Eat: Liliha Bakery
I must have seen Liliha Bakery on almost everyone's list of must-eat places for when you're in Honolulu. Apparently, they are very well known for their creme and coco puffs. I never really paid much attention to this place since I'm not a big sweets or pastries person. What I didn't know was that Liliha Bakery actually has a full diner attached to it. You can actually go, sit, and have an authentic Hawaiian meal
Celine Hawaii Pricing Guide (Jan 2022)
I did a Celine Hawaii post just a little bit ago but I thought I would do an updated one since I heard from one of my readers that they might have increased the price on a few things. Not sure what items exactly but I thought it wouldn't hurt to take a look around the store again. I tried to showcase some new Celine items as well as some old ones in case anyone
Hawaii Travel Requirements During COVID (Updated Jan 2022)
Since I just got back from Oahu, I thought it would be useful to write about the updated COVID Hawaii travel requirements. I wrote an extensive post back in March 2021 and since then, a lot has changed. Please keep in mind that this post is specifically for Oahu. I know some islands can have additional requirements so please check with each island's local guidelines. For this post though, I will go through the exact
Dior Hawaii Pricing Guide (Jan 2022)
Welcome to the January 2022 Dior Hawaii Pricing Guide! If you've been following my stories on Instagram, you probably already know that I was just in Oahu, Hawaii and my first stop was the Dior store. My lovely SA told me that there was going to be a price increase soon so I made sure to pay a visit right after I checked into the hotel. Well, I'm so glad I did because there was
myVEGAS Rewards: Free Night at Sycuan Casino Resort
Over the holiday break, my friends and I decided to go and visit Sycuan Casino Resort during our road trip down to Mexico. Over the past couple of years, the myVEGAS slot machine game has been expanding its rewards to other cities and venues which makes it even more exciting to play now. Not sure when Sycuan Casino Resort was added to the myVEGAS, but I would say it has some of the best redemptions
The Best Deal on Oahu Rental Cars
Finding a good deal on Oahu rental cars has been a mission for me especially since the COVID-19 pandemic started. If you've been following me on Instagram on have signed up for my newsletter, you would know that I went to Oahu back in November and will be going again next week. The November trip was kind of a bummer since I was supposed to stay with a friend, but then she decided to fly
