Here comes a Hawaiian beachgirl secret. Oil. Enough said.
If you have not discovered or stockpiled an arsenal of these Polynesian oils, then get going!
Kukui nut oil, coconut oil and monoi (coconut oil and tiare (jasmine)-you just gotta have them all.
Use them in the shower, in the bath, on dry skin, on your hands and feet, and in your hair. Kind and gentle to the most delicate of skins, even babies soak the stuff up.
Known for their healing and soothing powers as well as super-hydrating quality, sunburn, skin irriations, scrapes and even pesky acne are no match for their effects.
Monoi Tiare Tahiti make a ‘cosmetic oil consisting of pure coconut oil and the fragrance of tiare, the Tahitian Gardenia. The product is a refinement of an ancient Polynesian beauty secret and has been manufactured commercially since 1942. Centuries ago the people of Polynesia discovered that pure coconut oil is an essential secret for beautiful skin and hair. Coconut oil is a natural replacement for your body’s skin and hair oils. The coconut oil used in Monoi Tiare Tahiti is so highly refined that it is quickly absorbed by your skin. ‘
Oils of Aloha make the best kukui–with or without a scent. A little dose will go a long way so go easy on the squeeze. Even Kikidoll’s pupster gets some on his paws or when he tangles with a sea urchin.
Keep your skin moisturized, your hair conditioned and your cuticles at bay. Slather any or a combo of these oils on while still damp from swimming or bathing and you will never see flakey skin again.
Add to those oils the divine fragrances of gardenia, pikake or plumeria and paradise is just a sensory moment away.

Kikidoll’s Bikini In A Bottle
Whats Kikidoll’s bikini in a bottle all about ?
Kikidoll is preparing to ‘launch’ her capsule Cruise Collection of swimwear for 2010-2011–literally–drifting towards a beach near you sometime this autumn.
Filling 21 bio-degradable sea-worthy bottles each with her newest 21 Hawaiian-inspired printed string bikinis that she just previewed at Miami Swim Week for next year, Kiki is sealing them up, ready for a voyage of a lifetime.
Releasing them from her native Waikiki Beach, Honolulu next month, Kiki is relying on the very same equatorial currents that guided the Pacific peoples of the Marchesas and Tahiti to the islands of Hawaii several thousands of years ago by canoe and paddle.
It is estimated that each bikini in a bottle, will hit land between 60 and 90 days, using the current map, above, as a guide. Watch this space for updates and photos of the launch and any sightings when they hit landfall. Photos are invited from any lucky beachcombers!
The Southern currents will push the teeny bikinis in a bottle towards the Pacific rim basin–Australasia and Pacific islands. Northern currents will take the bottles towards the Americas, north, south, Latin and central. The West wind drift will push them towards Europe and the Pacific drift will send some aloha to Canada.
The rule of finders-keepers applies, so get out there in time to scoop up a Kikidoll bikini amongst the shells and treasures of the ocean!
