3 Hawaiian Swimwear Brands You MUST Try — Because Nobody Knows How To Make A Bikini Better

Living in Hawaiʻi for my whole life, I have learned to love and cherish our local businesses here. I have come to find that I buy much of my bikini collection from them.

Although they are a little bit on the pricier side, the quality is always amazing and you know your money is going towards a good cause and business.

Benoa Swim

Benoa is based on the North Shore of O'ahu and was started by two women. The designs are hand-drawn by one of the owners and manufactured in Bali, Indonesia.

What I personally love about this brand is that it is own and run by women.

On the tags of their items, it says "For, Of and To: Women Who Inspire Us." This brand is loved by girls on every island and even on the mainland. You can find their items online or at swimsuit boutiques around the island.

T. Rose Swim

I recently came across this brand at an arts festival. The owner was there selling her bikinis alongside painters, photographers, and musicians.

She also hand draws her own prints and designs.

This brand loves to come out with floral patterns, personally my favorite, as well as innovative, unique tops and bottoms that look good on any body type. You can find their items online and at the Honolulu Night Market.

Acacia Swimwear

Acacia Swimwear is a staple in any Hawaii girl's collection. Girls go crazy over these bikinis and even buy them at full price.

Despite the fact that many of these brands usually don't go on sale, Acacia is worth the price.

The brand was born in Hawaii and focuses on European/Italian style beachwear. They often make swimsuit cover-ups and dresses in the same prints as the bikinis, which are super cute and go well when matching.

You can find their items online or at many swimsuit boutiques around the island.

There are many other small businesses on the island that make beautiful artwork through swimsuits and bikinis. A great way to find them is through Instagram!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
