Modern Luxury
Holiday 2006 / Spring Preview 2007
Do you ever wonder if those old fables or mysterious concoctions your aunties, tutus and mom used really made a difference? Nadyne Kim-Orona did, and women all over are now thanking her for her curiosity. Pure Hapa, a contrast in terms, yes, but that is Kim-Orona, purely hapa — thanks to her Hawaiian, Korean and Irish heritage. She remembered her grandma using noni and azuki bean powder for her face, and her father using herbal remedies. Soon, Kim-Orona herself was mixing away, and found the perfect formulas for her skincare line. Pure Hapa has garnered many fans, and not just here in Hawaii. Thanks to an inclusion in the all-important SWAG bag, Pure Hapa has a strong fan base in Hollywood, too. The line includes Sweet Papaya Facial Exfoliant (with azuki bean powder), and a deliciously fragranced Haupia Orange Soufflé Body Cream. Available at The Spa Suites at the Kahala, 739.8888; The Four Seasons, Manele Bay, Lanai, 565.2000.–L.T.
