Hawaii Flora + Fauna
Lauren Shearer '08, Owner
hawaiiflorafauna.com @hawaiiflorafauna 

Bespoke Lei, Workshops, Events, and Botanical Artistry 
Flora & Fauna grew from a lifelong hobby and passion of owner, Lauren Shearer. Born and raised in Maui, she grew up surrounded by Hawaii’s floral backdrop and rich culture, practicing the tradition of lei making.

However, once she realized that almost all flowers, plants, and animals that surround us can be used to make lei, she began to experiment and has not stopped. By moving beyond the comfort zone of standard lei flowers, she has discovered a process that both pays homage to tradition of the craft and also creates a modern vision for lei. 

Lauren’s mission is to create awareness of the natural world around us, wherever we go. This has led to the creation of a custom lei making business, in which she draws inspiration from surrounding flora and fauna in all stages of development to create wearable art.

Excerpt from the Maui News: Launched in 2016, Travis’ startup travel health company, The Barrier Method, was ahead of the curve, producing reusable cloth face masks to combat the spread of everyday germs found in crowded airports and airplanes.

The fabric used is called Chitosante, which is extracted from crab or shrimp shells, and creates a biodegradable, nontoxic and antibacterial polyester.

This material helps to combat odors caused by bacteria and is breathable, environmentally friendly and contains UPF 50 sun protection properties.

The reusable and washable masks are designed and manufactured in Honolulu by local seamstresses with larger quantities produced in California.

15% off purchases

Even though her studio is on the Puget Sound in Olympia, Washington, Tracey finds inspiration in her island upbringing. The vibrancy of island life works its way into each of her abstracts. “My joy comes from bold color!” Tracey explains. “I also love the fluid movement of my work, which becomes a ‘dance’ with my creative soul.” This fluidity comes from her loose painting process, which involves pouring paint onto the canvas, moving and sculpting it with a pallet knife, and adding layers.

Acrylic paintings, scarves, and bags available for purchase.

In Five Years: A Novel

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers.

She is nothing like her lifelong best friend—the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content.

But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. Dannie spends one hour exactly five years in the future before she wakes again in her own home on the brink of midnight—but it is one hour she cannot shake. In Five Years is an unforgettable love story, but it is not the one you’re expecting.

Available are most book retails including independent shops in Hawaiʻi such as Bookends and Da Shop, both in Honolulu.
