It's spring time! And oh boy does my little backyard need a refresh. I've been to their plant store…read morein town before, but this is more like a garden center rather than a houseplant store. I loved looking around at all the plants. As in most places in Hawai'i, if you're prone to getting bug bites (aka me), you might wanna spray on some protection or cover up. I love that they have a mix of plants, produce, and really cute products. Everything you'd need from moss poles, spray bottles, ceramic pots of all sizes. I even got a really cute plant sticker for my water bottle.

The staff is helpful and kind and do a great job at explaining how best to care for your plant children. There's also a nice selection of veggies both to start a garden or to eat for dinner tonight. Aside from that it is a very relaxing atmosphere to walk through and explore. For those that are more mosquito prone, wear some bug spray or a citronella sticker to keep the little bites at bay.

I'm going to put my disclaimer first - I don't have the "eye". You know the eye for design and…read morestyle and color. The interior design of all my previous homes were very "pieced together"; it was never a cohesive theme. If anything...the theme would be cluttered. But my boyfriend is completely opposite. He has that stylistic eye and hates clutter, so I rely on him when it comes to furnishing our home. As we talked about how we want to decorate our future home, we knew we had to find unique pieces that would match the color scheme of the condo and something we would like. On a whim, we checked out Red Knot and stumbled upon the couch that met all of our criteria: 1. Gray 2. Unique look with the white stitching, not so boxy design and it came with two little stools that would be stored in the armrest 3. Had a chaise Plus it had a matching ottoman with storage and can turn into a bed. We loved it. But of course we had questions. And, it's like the furniture gods heard our prayer and sent us Derek. He saw us looking around and stopped by us to see how we were doing and if we had questions. He was able to answer all of our questions and helped us with the transaction. When learning that we were in the process of buying a place, he helped us to figure out the timing of when we would receive couch as well as the payment options available. Besides from the great service we received, I loved the wide selection of items available and the prices are competitive. I know we will be back for the other pieces.

Anywhos, Derek greeted me and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I only mentioned a black or white dresser, totally forgot I was looking for a dining table. He was very knowledgeable with what they had in store but not what I was looking for. I decided to venture around while my dad checked out the sectional couches. He found one and we were chilling there for quite awhile but no one else came by so we decided to venture to the other side. My son really loved the red couch but reds just not in our color scheme, not even in his room lol. They had a lot of cute decor accessories for a beauty room.

We like Island Heritage products (lots of hawaiian souvenirs like photo albums, calendars, and…read morephoto frames) and have been purchasing them for years now. We just didn't know that the same company made these products- we noticed it on our last trip. When we were walking at the Beach Walk at night (which is so much prettier, all lighted and such), we came upon this store located on the lower level, on the same side as Honolua (featuring all their products; maybe you've seen the hula girl, that's their logo), which had an unusual sale promotion- "anything with brown on it", was 50% off. So, we were looking for Vintage hawaiiana prints, during our recent trip. My husband found a calendar marked $9.99, so this was a good deal. We plan on coming here next year on our annual trip.

They sell cheap trinkets to glassware made in china with over inflated prices. If you're looking…read morefor cheap Island Heritage stuff, go to their warehouse sale in November. I think they also have one in June or July also to help liquidate their items. I had a ceramic plaque hanging by my front door what said mahalo for removing your slippahs and the metal bracket attached to the plaque came right off. The plaque wasn't scored. It was just hot glued onto the glossy finish. It's a good thing it didn't completely shatter on the ground. You want cheap souvenirs, go the Aloha swap meet. You won't find prices any lower than that. And you can work on getting a nice tan at the same time.

We researched the internet and local furniture stores for a solid, durable, extra wide seat recliner. We called this store and spoke to Brett who said he has the recliner we were searching for.

I usually enjoy shopping at T.J. Maxx, and this visit started off great. I like to go aisle by…read moreaisle by aisle, The store was organized, easy to shop, and had a lot of really nice options. I always find great things for my home here, and the body wash and skincare section is one of my favorites because there's such a good variety at a great value. The purses and accessories were also super cute and definitely caught my attention. Unfortunately, what put my shopping on pause was the bathroom being closed. When you're planning to spend time browsing, not having access to a restroom can really affect the experience, and it cut my visit shorter than I expected. Overall, I still like shopping at TJ Maxx and will continue to come back because I can usually count on finding something stylish and affordable. I just hope the restroom situation gets resolved, because everything else about the store was enjoyable.

I literally walked around the store just looking at things. Usually, I am the type of person to be in and out. There were so many things that I wanted to buy but limited myself to what was necessary. I found a pair of fun green pants and a cute top for work, along with a separate top and a pajama set. I went to the dressing room to try everything on and the attendant was sweet and friendly. I also found some personal care items that I typically use at a lower cost price which is appreciated these days. When checking out, the cashier was friendly and thoughtful. I definitely feel that I got a full bang for my buck. I will be coming back.

I had to go through some other rows as I need to change out all our bunny tablecloths, kitchen and bath towels and pillows.

The Cosmetics Company Store - Where Makeup Lovers Time Travel…read moreThis little shop at Waikele is a total gem. It's definitely not your giant beauty warehouse, but that's the charm--you walk in and instantly feel like you're on a treasure hunt. They've got MAC, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Too Faced, and other big names, but here's the fun part: a lot of it is from last season or limited runs. Think of it as a beauty time machine--you might spot that palette you missed when it first launched or a lipstick shade you thought was gone forever. The store itself is small, bright, and super clean. The staff? Friendly and helpful without hovering. The vibe is relaxed--no chaotic aisles or pushy upsells--just shelves waiting for you to dig in. Parking is a breeze (thank you, Waikele), so you can take your time and explore. If you're a makeup or skincare lover, this is like finding the VIP section of a sale rack--less "what's trending" and more "hidden gems worth bragging about." You never quite know what you'll leave with, but you'll feel like you scored.

Never really gave The Cosmetics Company Store much thought as I don't wear much make up with such sensitive skin and have all the work go to waste once I start sweat and work makes it for an interesting effect as it starts to smear. With sensitive skin I'm always on the look for cleanser and skin care as it can be costly though doesn't have to be and with places like this makes it a possible experience. It seems like the carry brands like Clinique, Mac, Origin, Estēe Lauder which I don't really use but did get a bit curious to the selections they have. Walking in there is a fun section #beautihaul a fun hashtag that's so true where you pick a bag of your choice and select 6 samples all for $15! So great for yourself...travel...or that extra something for a gift. Delightful staff that greets you though I had no questions they didn't follow or bother me as I browsed. Will keep this place in mind for future beauty items. Thank you!
