Aloha Friday, Ohana! 🤗🤙🏽 Today's post is all about the power we all possess in making a difference in someone else's life! 🙏🏽 It's a heartfelt and reflective post...so if you're wanting to fix a drink and party... go ahead and do so 🍹😎🍹...You can always come back & read later!😉.... But If you like pour one, sit & talk story, den lissen fo what Unko Larry gonna lay track on,.. He like say "Some peepo know how fo RADIATE ALOHA!" 🙏🏽🔥💛 💪🏽 I don't like to share 'difficulty' with others (we all have 'em, & its not usually me to share my personal poop 💩😉 )...but there are a scant few who have a glimpse of what it is that I go thru on the day to day.... Because of one beautiful soul, her compassion for others (despite her own 'poop') and her desire to spread an affirmation of Support & Aloha (Love) to and for all living beings,..is why Im about to disclose a very personal 'Thang' that I don't like to mention publicly. (Mahalo, sistah for helping me to 'keep it real'🙏🏽😎) In my semi daily DM's to various Ohana, I had mentioned to my buddy/sistah, Kelsie @darkglittergoddess what a pain it was to haul around my Oxygen Tank (Im breathing on 1&1/4 lung capacity...need assisted oxygen) & how self conscious I felt, sportin' my Aloha Shirt, Tiki Swag etc ... but then having to haul behind me, that god awful, ugly ass dolly & tank that constantly serves as a reminder of my mortality. Kelsie, awesome Bad-Ass Biatch that she is 🔥👊🏽😎💪🏽🔥...Surprised me, and Hand Crafted with paint, glass rocks and glitter, an awesome Tiki Mask that I can attach securely to my tank and now its also a part of my swag and spirit of Aloha! ...So if you see a bruddah with the 'usual tiki ephemera'... but hauling a ' Sanctified & Tiki-fied Oxygen Tank.. You'll KNOW, its me ! 🤗🌴🛖🌴🤙🏽 Real truth in the saying.... "Its the little gestures that pack 'THE BIG PUNCH' in making someone else's journey a happier one! Kristina & I are so grateful...& Ill never forget your powerful, kind & thoughtful Aloha, Kelsie! Mai ka pu'uwai, MAHALO NUI LOA !!! 🔥🙏🏽💛💪🏽 Have an Awesome Aloha Friday, Ohana! 🌴👍🏽🍹🤗🍹🤙🏽🌴 #tiki #tikistyle #bekindtoothers #awesomepeople

Sunday Afternoon and my head feels a little like how this gentleman looks! 😉😳😂 I guess its safe to say that for today,...Im experiencing some sort of a 'disconnect'....but hey, we all go thru periods where "losing one's head is merely a temporary distraction.... Pop always said one of my personal 'distinctions' was this propensity for being a numbskull!😉 ... But thats alright, by tommorrow ....it aint nuthin but a thang! 🌴😉 💀😂🌴 . . . . #tiki #tikistyle #tikilife #tikiculture #tikicollection #shrunkenhead #tikigoth

Hoodoo da Voodoo, you say?!? Excellent question for Hapa Huli Hump Day!... Are we 'halfway started' or 'halfway done'?...Not a big thing,...as long as there's Rum! 🌴🍹☠️🍹🌴 Our awesome friend, Kelsie @darkglittergoddess made a pair of her 'Creep Tags' for Kristina and I....We dig how she painted us as little Voodoo Dolls and added cool details about our individual personalites and likes! 😎🤗... But was surprised when the tags are put side by side, shows me and my baby sharing a tiki drink !together!...we always love our tiki drinks together! 🌴🍹♥️🍹🌴 Mahalo Kelsie! ! 💛🙏🏽🤗 If you're interested in having a custom made pair for you and yourr favorite 'Pin Cushion' for Valentine's Day..😉🔥😂 Holla at her thru DM on her IG page @darkglittergoddess .... I'm pretty sure she can rustle up a 'Tikified, Aloha Love Spell' or two for ya, no problemo! Cheers! 🌴🤙🏽🔥🍹🔥🤙🏽🌴 . . . . #tki #tikistyle #tikiculture #tikicollector #tikipins #tikilife #somethingdifferent #coolstuff

On this day Sept.13 1997...25 yrs ago! It took us 3 yrs beforehand to actually figure it out but then we decided "What the hell, let's go for 'THE RIDE'.. ♥️♥️♥️ It's truly been one helluva ride for sure. And even with all the different terrain we've traversed....I still can't imagine doing this with any other! Happy Anniversary, my 'Dreamboat Annie' .... Love Ya! 🌴😘♥️🥰♥️😘🌴

Been pre occupied with family matters over the last week but had time today to put together a smaller shelf for black lava and red mugs....Still space for a few other items so I stuck 'em there as well! 🔥 We're really stoked at how our 'themed display shelves' are coming along. Hope you think so too! 🙏🏽🤗 Have an awesome week, bruddahs & sistahs!! 🌴👍🏽🔥🌋🔥🤙🏽🌴 . . . #tiki #tikimugs #tikiculture #tikicollection #tikistyle #tikidecor #volcanoart #lavaart #coolstuff #lookatthis #somethingdifferent
