Happy New Year! We’ve had a wonderful 2012 and I’m looking forward to another great year! We are re-launching our beloved anti-aging firming elasticity cream and introducing a cream cleanser as a sister product! I really took my time to perfect the cleanser formula and I’m really excited for both of these to come to market.

In a few months we’ll be bringing back Malie’s beauty oils in all of our signature aromas! Malie’s organic beauty oils are an amazing blend of a few different oils including coconut, kukui nut, jojoba, apricot and grapeseed. They absorb quickly into your skin or hair and leave a nourished, silky radiance! I also love a few drops in my bath.

I am also very excited about our new Kauai boutique. For months now, we’ve been planning and working on our new boutique at The Shops at Kukui’ula in Poipu and we should be opening late February. Kukui’ula is perfect for Malie and this is very exciting! Stay tuned, I’ll have more info on this and pictures soon!

It has been a pleasure working with The Royal Hawaiian, A Luxury Collection Resort. It is one of the finest luxury resorts in Waikiki. “This legendary pink-hued retreat” features “a new era of Hawaiian-style luxury on Oahu’s golden Waikiki Beach”.

And now, when staying at The Royal Hawaiian, you’ll be treated to Malie Organics in-room amenities! Our new line of hotel amenities are offered in Malie’s signature Koke’e aroma, giving guests a full sensory experience, immersing them in the scents of their destination paradise!

With its unparalleled romance and luxury set on 14 acres of prime Waikiki beachfront land, The Royal Hawaiian is the perfect partner for Malie. It’s a beautiful day here in Hawaii and time for you to book your next trip. stay at the Royal Hawaiian, and experience this first hand!

Today’s modern island woman goes from the beach to dining out and loves to look effortlessly beautiful. With this in mind, I’m creating a sophisticated collection of women’s resort wear for the Hawaii lifestyle!

Hawaii’s relaxed lifestyle and natural beauty is the inspiration and vision behind Malie Style, however it is far from the traditional Hawaiiana. This first collection is the Malie Kai Collection and is inspired by the sea. The beautiful fabric colors blend the rich blue of the deep ocean to the teal blue where the sea meets the sand. And we’ve even created two custom printed fabrics – one inspired by the Honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) shell and another inspired by the scales of the Humuhumu reef fish.

I’m so excited about the launch of this new collection and I can’t wait to share it! Flawless at the pool over a bikini at lunch, or out to dinner with heels and jewelry, the Malie Style Collection is a must have for any wardrobe!

Pictured here are 3 samples from the new Malie Kai Collection. Stay tuned for more!

A new year is upon us! The journeys and lessons learned in 2011 gracefully guide us to a beautiful, healthier and more sustainable life in 2012.

As we were approaching this new year, my thoughts for the future of the company soared! Wanting to further my commitment to the environment and embrace the essence of calm, serene and tranquil, plans for 2012 developed…

And now that things are falling into place, I am so excited to share the spring launch of our new spa wear clothing line! Being inspired by Hawaii’s nature, this time instead of it going into a bottle, it will be going into apparel! Malie means calm, serene and tranquil, so I’m looking to develop clothes that are very easy to wear, for the casual-type of lifestyle when you’re feeling relaxed. We’re taking the visuals you see in nature and expressing them as Hawaii inspired, but not Hawaiiana. This is not going to be your sterio-typical aloha shirt. We’re bringing Hawaii to clothes in a whole new way.

The brand extension to apparel is only natural and you’ll be able to find these fine wears in the spas and boutiques where you already find Malie’s luxurious home and body products. Stay tuned. Aloha!

We recently renovated our Kalaheo boutique (which is also our headquarters) and it is so beautiful! I just wanted to share some photos with you! If you’re on Kauai, stop by and shop and visit us! Happy Aloha Friday!

It’s been a very busy summer for Malie with lots of traveling and lots of exciting new developments! And, when thinking about the future, there are so many things I would like to do with Malie that it’s hard to choose!

We recently opened a new boutique in The Royal Hawaiian – a gorgeous hotel right in the heart of Waikiki, built in the 1920s! If you’ve ever been to Hawaii you’ve probably seen it’s iconic pink buildings on the prime Waikiki beachfront shoreline. It’s luxurious and classic and the perfect place for Malie! My graphic designer and I had fun being interior designers and picking out all the elements for the renovation. We chose a sophisticated shimmery rice paper wall paper as the backdrop for all the product displays and a complimentary “rock candy” wall paper for accents. These wall papers are amazing and so beautiful! I’m so excited to have the opportunity to use them! Check out some of the photos of this project below.

We are also just a few weeks away from the launch of our new organic perfume! This is exciting because we get so many requests to bottle our beautiful aromas into a perfume product and after much time, these requests are being fulfilled!

What’s next for Malie? I’m trying to figure that out now and I’ve got some ideas up my sleeves. Keeping in mind that malie means calm, serene and tranquil, that is the theme for the direction of the company.

In November we’ll be launching an island ambiance gift set which will feature 3 mini reed diffusers together. There will be the floral collection with plumeria, orchid and pikake and another featuring coconut vanilla, mango nectar and koke’e. Our reed diffusers are our most popular product and this is going to be a great way for our customers to be able to enjoy different aromas and share!

We’ve been a little more frequent about updates on our Facebook page! Like us and get these updates in your news feed! And please tell your friends! Much aloha to you and mahalo for supporting Malie! Happy Aloha Friday!

New Organic Perfume Sneak Peak

What a fabulous day we had yesterday! Fashionistas from Japan’s FRAU magazine came to Hawaii! I can’t spoil the April feature so my lips are sealed but here’s a few photos with my new friends! Hats off to the super creative photographer and editor! (The two far left in bottom photo.) They did an amazing job and were very inspirational! And my Creative Director graphic artist was also there to debut our new orchid packaging!!

A new year and a new beginning. Although 2010 was a great year for Malie with the launch of our anti-aging and pikake collections, we aren’t looking back. We’re looking forward and focusing on the future! I’m really excited about orchid and a few other things I’ve got up my sleeves! There’s a tradeshow in Japan coming up, I’d love to create a perfume and I’m really excited about a new custom program for the Halele’a Spa at the St. Regis in Princeville. So, we’ll see as the year unfolds!

May your new year be one of happiness, graceful journeys, and abundance. Mahalo for supporting Malie. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! (Happy New Year!) – Dana
