I don’t think you guys will ever fully understand what this weekend meant to me. 🥹

Made in Hawaiʻi 2026 was officially our BEST YEAR YET , and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.

Going into this weekend, I had so much doubt in myself. There have been so many ups and downs behind the scenes, and honestly, a lot happening in my personal life that I’ve never shared publicly. Even during the event, there were things trying to steal my joy and bring me down.

But then I looked around our booth.

You guys were SHOWING UP. 😭 You were coming back for products you love, bringing your friends, telling us your stories, hyping us up, and absolutely LOSING IT over the Melia Pimple Patches + Puakenikeni Eye Patches. 😂🌺 

When it was all over, I cried.

Not because I was sad. Because I was so overwhelmed with gratitude. I questioned myself so many times leading up to this event, and somehow this weekend felt like a little reminder to keep going.

To every single person who stopped by, purchased something, hugged me, said hi, shared our posts, told a friend about AO, or has supported this little Hawaiʻi-made skincare company over the years…

MAHALO. MAHALO. MAHALO.

You made this our best Made in Hawaiʻi yet. And after everything it took to get here, that means more to me than you know. 🥹🤎

Until next year, Made in Hawaiʻi. 🌺
