Happy Halloween! Or as said in Hawaiian: Hauʻoli Lā Heleuī 🎃 And for all the trick-or-treaters: Kiliki o Lapu (“Trick or treat!” 🍬)

In this Aloha Friday mini episode, I share how to say these Halloween phrases in Hawaiian and explore the history of Halloween and Trick-or-Treating. From ancient Celtic traditions and honoring ancestors to how trick-or-treating, I talk about how the sweet tradition became what we know today 🎃🕯️

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. It's a playful, creative day that reconnects us with imagination, costumes, and keeps us young at heart ✨

In this episode, we explore one of nature’s most calming gifts — lavender.

I share how I first began using it to help me sleep 🛌, and how it’s now woven into small rituals in my everyday life — from sipping blueberry lavender tea 🍵 to surrounding myself with its peaceful, soft color that helps bring me back to center 🧘🤍

We explore the science behind lavender’s calming and healing properties, and dive into its history and ancient roots, dating back thousands of years ⏳ Long before modern research confirmed its benefits, civilizations like the Ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks intuitively understood its power to soothe, restore, and renew ✨

Lavender was often used in sacred rituals, offerings to the gods, beauty and comfort, and for healing wounds and ailments, symbolizing purity, healing, and cleansing 🌿

Whether you’re hoping to invite more peace into your evenings or simply feel more grounded throughout your day, I’ll share easy ways to integrate lavender into your own life — through scent, color, or daily habits 💜
