We want to send a warm aloha to Maya Corinne Weeks and her family for sharing her sweet smile with us for this month’s cover.

Mom is Kate Weeks, concierge at Honua Kai Resort & Spa, and dad is David Weeks, manager at Gerard’s Restaurant in Lahaina.

Maya is a happy preschooler at Kapalua preschool, and the family enjoys living in Honokowai.

Maya loves swimming, tumbling, dancing hula, and playing with her baby brother Dylan.

Mom shares, “Maya is a caring, smart, and funny girl. She always makes us laugh, and is very caring and loves to share with others. We are so proud of her and her caring soul.”

 

the shops at wailea’s ‘ukulele mix plate: totally fun, and totally free!

Who doesn’t love free events? I sure do. The feeling of satisfaction you gain from discovering something to do on Maui that’s totally fun, yet totally free, leaves you smiling for days. Attend The Shops at Wailea’s ‘Ukulele Mix Plate event, held several Wednesdays every month, and afterwards you’ll find yourself grinning from ear to ear.

‘Ukulele Mix Plate, co-hosted by The Shops at Wailea and Mele ‘Ukulele, takes place from 6 to 8pm Wednesday evenings in the Fountain Courtyard (except for the third Wednesday of each month, when the Wailea Le‘a event is held). Aptly named, it’s truly a “mixed plate” event: performances by renowned musicians, jammin’ by local ‘ukulele teachers, and audience participation in the form of an ‘ukulele lesson and sing-along. No worries if you don’t have your own instrument—Mele ‘Ukulele has a supply of loaners for participants to use.

stir it up at hawai‘i food & wine festival ka‘anapali this month!

Have you ever seen someone drinking out of a chilled coconut or a golden pineapple? It might be plain old lemonade they’re sipping through that straw, but you still want one for yourself. It’s all about the cup.

A shiny copper mug has been making a comeback at bars nationwide this year. The Moscow Mule—a smooth concoction of vodka, lime and ginger beer traditionally served in a copper cup—is all the rage these days, and it’s about to get star treatment at the Hawai‘i Food & Wine Festival Ka‘anapali.
