Kanani's Shave Ice Treats


Girl of the Year (2011) Kanani Akina lives in Hawaii on the island of Kaua'i. She is a cheerful girl who wants to make life beautiful for others.

Kanani loves to help out in her family's shave ice business. It doesn't hurt that she gets to taste all the delicious flavors. Kanani especially likes introducing tourists to the Hawaiian treat.

"Shave ice is kind of like a snow cone but much lighter and fluffier" Kanani tells one customer "And there are tons of flavors to choose from," Kanani has fresh pineapple and bananas to use in her shave ice plus a rainbow-colored lineup of fruit syrups.

"My favorite is a mix of pineapple, mango and passion-fruit" she says. "What kind would you like? They're all ono-licious!"


Play the Ono-licious game!

Nanea's Holoku Dress

Image
I love this beautiful Holoku dress. This type of dress has been worn in Hawaii since the 1820s.   A long sleeved, yoked, loose- fitting floor-length dress without a waistline, the Holoku- today is nearly identical to the original design and is worn for mostly formal occasions. The Holoku expresses reverence for Hawaiian culture by showing the styles popular during the days of the Hawaiian monarchy. It is still worn today in modern Hawaii. Nanea is also wearing a  maile lei ,  or lei made from maile leaf, worn for special occasions and an orchid hair clip. The maile   leaves are believed to protect the wearer, bestow good luck, and even possess healing powers.                                                         Mahalo Nui Loa
