The coconut really is the “tree of life”, so it’s no surprise that it’s commonly used in many of our dishes. No better drink as refreshing as this one 🥥🌺🌴straight from nature’s cup !

Moana 2 & the Tatau 🌺☀️🌊 Maui’s character continues to embody the strength, bravery, and pride that are central to Samoan culture. His journey of self-discovery and growth reflects the same qualities that are celebrated through the Samoan tatau (tattoo), a powerful rite of passage for Samoan men. The tatau is not just a form of art; it is a sacred symbol of a man’s connection to his ancestry, his community, and his own courage. The intricate patterns etched into the skin represent important stories and milestones, signifying bravery, resilience, and a deep respect for cultural traditions. In many ways, Maui’s own tale parallels the essence of the tatau. Just as Samoan men endure physical and spiritual challenges to receive their tatau, Maui too must confront his past, face his fears, and embrace his identity. Both the tatau and Maui’s journey are about forging a deeper connection to one’s roots, understanding the value of community, and carrying the weight of responsibility with honor. #Moana2 #Maui #BeautifulSamoa #PacificIslands
