Manuahi is translated as “gratis” or like free of charge, I always thought it to mean “extra”. It can also mean “other” things but we won’t go there and I want to talk about “gratis.” *L*

Is manuahi da same as barrato? Kinda ain’t. Cheapa, discount, make deal. Filipino let’s make a deal? Barrato! I guess in haole it would be translated as a baker’s dozen, 13 instead of 12. Getting something extra huh?

When I see something I like, I not sked buyem’ especially when its very affordable. Because I have a tendency to buy gifts when there’s nobody to give it to, yet. (can you say shopaholic?) The holidays come around eventually I have “stuff” ready. I’ve bought stuff from Island Girl Bows before. I bought da little girls in the family (oh and fo’me too) cute hair barrettes for Christmas.

So I saw one flowa on her website dat I like. It was on one baby’s head but she said it fits her head so should fit mine. So fine I ordered it. Look at what all I got, what a pleasant surprise. The items are laying on my pau skirt. Check it out.

Yestaday I got my package. Monday night is hula practice so of course gotta wear da flowa. Da buttafly match so wotdayhay I puinsai. Ok not dat kine puinsai and not clitter eda. LOL

They say word of mouth and good customer service is the best advertisement. Good customer service is hard to come by these days, you eva noticed. Especially wen you talking to somebody you no can undastand dey accent and being local sometimes I think I’m loosing it and I feel bad. BUT so solly I neva grow up around da Middle Eastern & India kine accents so my ea’s no work too good. *L*

So anyways if you looking for cute girly girl stuff try go look see.

www.islandgirlbows.etsy.com

I had never even heard of etsy till “dese guys” mentioned it. There are some cool stuff there. Handcrafted items. No bidding just buy’em. How cool is that?

Mahalo KG!
