Cat Chat: Via Gelato hits the streets

by on August 3, 2012 in Food, Videos

Back in February I met Melissa Bow, creator of Via Gelato, handcrafted gelato and sorbet using locally sourced ingredients. (Watch our Cat Chat here.)

I was completely taken by her commitment to quality and sustainability — plus, her gelato was damn good — that I became an instant fan.

Bow recently hit the streets three weeks ago, selling her handcrafted gelato with flavors like green tea haupia and jasmine vanilla — all from a little food truck she literally renovated herself. (No joke!)

I decided to check in with her and see how she’s doing since the last time we Cat Chat-ted.

(Spoiler alert: she’s killing it!)

Cat Chat: Nuy Beauty

by on July 17, 2012 in Videos

I’ll be honest: when it comes to fashion and beauty, I need help.

Lots of help.

I probably spend more time brushing my teeth than my hair and my beauty regiment consists of eyeliner and lip gloss.

It’s a bit pathetic.

So when I heard beauty/style expert Nuy Cho — founder of www.nuybeauty.com and uber-chic local girl — was back in town, I jumped at the chance to get some much-needed advice.

Here’s her advice:

Cat Chat: Via Gelato is here!

Gelato.

Say it and I’ll come running.

So when I found out Melissa Bow, a Punahou alum and former physical therapist who recently moved back home, was making handcrafted gelato using local ingredients like mango, ginger and lilikoi, I could barely stop myself from barging into her home to sample it.

No, seriously.

I shot this video months ago — before Via Gelato Hawaii was officially up and running.

Now, Bow serves up her tasty treats Monday through Friday around downtown (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and near Punahou (2 to 5 p.m.), then on Saturday nights at Sports Authority on Ward Avenue.

Here’s a little preview:

I love stationery.

Yes, I’m one of those.

I write letters, I send thank-you notes, I even have a pen pal from second grade.

So of course I was thrilled to hear a new stationery boutique opened in October in Kapahulu. South Shore Paperie is owned by designer (and fashionista in her own right) Stacey Nomura. We headed there yesterday to check it out.

Here’s a peek inside:
