When I ran away to paradise I didn’t know a soul, I barely even knew myself. I longed for a friend that would provide me with encouraging words and creative inspiration.

Allow me to fill you in on a little island secret… Nestled in the heart of Diamond Head there’s a local hotspot where all the cool kids hang out.

Recently I featured the gorgeous Modern Day Wild Woman behind Beach Girl Abroad, Elisa Lipton on my new show Fresh Air Hawaii. And let me tell you, when I first met this beam of light she was defintly a breath of fresh air. We hit it off right away, like we were soul sisters or something. […]
