Sea Serpentine

Happy World Turtle Day! 🐢✨ It’s nesting season in Hawaii!

Check the guide below to tell our two local hatchlings apart:
🌺Green Turtle (Honu)
Black body with white-trimmed flippers
Round head with 1 pair of prefrontal scales between eyes

🌺Hawksbill (Honu’ea)
Brown/grey
Pointed "beak" with 2 pairs of prefrontal scales between the eyes

⚠️ 3 Ways to Protect Them
Red Lights Only: White lights disorient them! Grab a red light at my South Maui Gardens booth on Thursdays. 🏮

Watch Your Step: Avoid walking in the shoreline water; they are tiny and easy to step on in the waves! 🚫👣

Report Sightings: Call your local rescue hotline if you see a nest hatching. 📞

Let’s keep our baby turtles safe! 🌊🌺

This week, I was feeling stressed… so I picked up some string and started making a friendship bracelet. And wow, did my stress go down. The nostalgia came flooding back in 🌊🐚✨

Suddenly I was back to being a kid again making bracelets for friends, sitting outside in the summer sun, and finding joy in the simplest things.

That feeling inspired something new for my small business…
..handmade bracelets inspired by childhood summers and the magic of the ocean. Each piece features real seashell details and coastal colors that feel like a little piece of the shoreline you can carry with you.

Truthfully, these won’t be at every market. This is something I’m choosing to do as a creative de-stressor — reconnecting with the same simple hobby that once brought me so much happiness as a kid.

I hope people purchase these the same way traditional friendship bracelets were always meant to be shared — as little reminders of connection, love, friendship, and the people who make life meaningful 💙

Wear one. Gift one. Share the ocean story.

Tomorrow is Market Day!

Hey I'm Mandy

I'm a 90s-early 20s kid aka the best era
I've grown up with a Taylor Swift album for every era of my life
I fell for the ocean at a young age
I was on a dance team
I have been an ocean advocate since before I could talk
I was obsessed with dolphins and JB the perfect combo
I definitely made a dance YouTube video to "DJ got me fallin in love again" with my friends

In case you were wondering who is the person behind Sea Serpent Scents here I am at my awkward age, when I thought life was the hardest it would get lol I was so wrong.

Now I'm 31 and I own my own successful eco friendly perfume and cologne business, I am a driven ocean advocate even when it gets hard or the career feels impossible I'm here for it cuz I care and I want the generation after me to know the same ocean animals I fell in love with.

Women are pretty epic when they have the space to grow and the right people to motivate them 🩵

Hope to meet you at a market soon🫶🏼
