🖤 A little something for Kauaʻi 🖤

I created this special necklace specifically for this fundraiser using puka shells I found on Kauaʻi and a beautiful deep brown/maroon-red garnet, associated with strength, courage, resilience and protection.

A good friend of mine on Kauaʻi told me about her friends who lost the roof of their home during Hurricane Lowell and are in need of some support right now. I wanted to find a way to help support their family directly.

Here’s how to participate:

1. Go to the **link in my bio** and donate directly to the family’s GoFundMe.

2. Every donation = one entry to win this Kauaʻi Puka Shell necklace. The donation amount doesn’t matter — one donation = one entry.

3. DM me a screenshot of your donation so I can verify it and give you your entry number.

4. Please share this post to your Story to help spread the word and get this fundraiser in front of more people.

5. The fundraiser ends Monday, September 21st at NOON (HST)! I’ll randomly select and announce the winner after it closes!

**I am not collecting any money. Your donation goes directly to the family’s GoFundMe.**

Can’t donate right now? Sharing this fundraiser is another huge way to help. 🖤

From Maui → Kauaʻi, with love. 🌺

A little ‘shell’ and tell of my recent favs 💗

I got VERY blessed recently with some amazing shellies 🖤

Lots (and lots) of hours spent on the hunt… getting absolutely drenched by the big surf, hammered in the ankles by coral (currently bruised lol), picking up rubbish and completely destroying my slippers — almost losing them approximately 10 times lol. 🌊

But honestly, the best part was seeing just how much LIFE was out there.

There were soooo many incredibly beautiful live shells that I kept finding and throwing back into the ocean. I didn’t have my phone on me for most of it because I really love being able to unplug when I can. No filming, no distractions — just being present in the elements, searching, and enjoying every second of it. 🤍 it’s a form of meditation to me.

It was honestly bittersweet having to throw some INSANEEEE shells back into the ocean because they had the cutest little hermit crabs and sea slugs living inside. Some hermits were completely hidden at first and only appeared after I’d been holding them for a few minutes.

I’d throw the live shellies as far back into the ocean as I could, only to watch the big waves wash them right back onto shore. 😭 I kept trying to get them back out there, hoping they’d make it safely and that no one would come along and take them.

I’ve honestly felt a little strange posting about shells when my heart has been so heavy seeing the devastation on Kauaʻi from the hurricane. My heart is with everyone affected, and Kaua’i will remain in my prayers. 🤍 I know they will hui and rebuild. It’s not easy work, and they could use all of the support right now… SOOOOO….

I want to do something to help. If you’ve been thinking about getting a piece of Nani Shells jewelry, now is the time! THIS WEEK 10% of ALL SALES (from today until 9/18) will be donated to help locals on Kauaʻi who have been affected by the hurricane.🌺

Thank you for supporting my small handmade business and, in turn, helping me give back when our islands need it most.

Throwback Thursday to a beach walk on Moloka‘i in 2017 🌺

I was picking up trash along the beach and collecting little treasures when I found a plastic bottle with a handful of shellies inside.

And somehow, tucked in among them, was a tiny baby sunrise shell!!!

Right place. Right time. One of those little moments that feels almost too magical to be real. ✨

I love that I was there picking up trash… and ended up finding a treasure inside of it. 🖤 (pun intended?!) 🤣

Have you ever had one of those right place, right time moments at the beach? 🌊 if so, please share your magical beach story. I’d love to hear it. xx tash
