Maui eco business and lifestyle for sale

Sandra — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:27:04 +0000

They call Las Vegas the 9th Island, so it seems appropriate for me to mention an eco design company based in Hawaii that is now up for sale. It you have access to some cash (apparently there are a few of those people left) and have a hunger in your soul for an alternative livestyle, check out the link below to read about the eco business Savage Designs with an Eco-RV.

Sunny Savage of Hale Paiku in Maui wants to transition to the next adventure and sail around the world in a floating mobile documentary film studio.

She is offering a 2 in 1 package – an Eco-RV home and an eco conscious clothing company.

After researching the globe for natural fibers, Sunny discovered indigenous Nepalese who wildcraft fibers and found a cutting edge designer to create Savage Designs, an eco conscious clothing company like no one else on the market.

The RV is bio-diesel, has eight solar panels, and a garage in the back that would be a great editing bay! The interior is totally remodeled in bamboo and cork with organic bedding and other eco-friendly accessories.

Do yourself a favor. Dream for a minute or two. This may just be the opportunity you have been looking for.

By the way, if you are interested, mention you saw this on my site. Most of my readers are not from Las Vegas – I have a big following in Germany, for instance. I would love to know if someone from Augsburg followed their dream.

Aloha! Chinese New Year on the 9th Island

Sandra — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 04:37:16 +0000

Don’t miss the Chinese New Year celebrations at the Chinatown Plaza on Sunday Feb 25. As my calendar says that Chinese New Year is Feb 18, I don’t quite understand the date. I’ll do some checking and edit this if I get other information. At any rate, there should to be dancing dragons, Chinese martial arts, lots of color and food booths. The Las Vegas Hawaiian Civic Club will help with the festivities that usher in this most auspicious Red Pig Year (or Year of the Red Boar). Check out my blog on “Bellagio, Chinese New Year and Golden Pig” (Feb 6) for discussion of this most special coming year and what it portends. For more about the Hawaiian Civic Club on what the Hawaiians consider the “9th Island” (Las Vegas), check out their website www.lvhcc.org. Las Vegas Chinatown Plaza 4255 Spring Mtn Rd.
