RSS FEED IDEMS: Coconut Girl Wireless
- Breastfeeding: Live and Let Suck
By feature contributor Ms. Reef Rash For the most part, I appreciated the article by Cecil Adams (”The Straight Dope”, May 5-18, which appeared in the Hawai’i Island Journal … and is published in many alternative weekly papers around the country) in favor of breastfeeding for healthier babies, but I couldn’t stop myself from focusing [...]
Thu, 31 May 2007 19:37:45 +0000 - How to Get Surfer Girl Hair
With search engines leading people who are trying to get “Surfer Girl Hair” to my article essentially detailing how to avoid it (“Secret Hair Tips for the Surfer Girl”), I decided I might as well publish my own recipe for the look. Likely a “How To” appeared on some trendy web site inflicting fads on [...]
Sun, 27 May 2007 21:32:09 +0000 - Coffee Lovers: The Ultimate Coconut Mocha Recipe
Do you or your loved one enjoy a mocha in the morning? Ready to score some points while saving some of the excess cash you’re spending for your “specialty” coffee at the local coffeehouse? Instead, maybe it’s time to use that money towards creating your own quality coffeehouse right in your kitchen. Here’s a recipe [...]
Sat, 26 May 2007 19:44:53 +0000 - Point Break 2: Young, Dumb and…More Surf Movies to Come
You know, before Gidget came out in the late ’50s, there were supposedly only 5,000 surfers in the world. With that and the beach blanket bingo era to follow, by 1962 it’s been estimated a whopping 100,000 took to the waves. Today how many might there be? Millions? My first bit of interest in surfing came [...]
Tue, 22 May 2007 02:51:51 +0000 - Are You Unknowingly Poisoning Your Dog?
Though animals of all smells tug at my heart-strings, I am officially one of those cat-people who one day turned into a dog-lover; even the title Coconut Girl being a dedication to my girl dog, who looks absolutely ridiculous running around the beach with a coconut twice the size of her head clutched in her [...]
Fri, 18 May 2007 02:48:18 +0000 - No Bad Kitty: The Secret of Negative Thinking
I’m housesitting. It’s a nice and needed respite because I’ve been living in a tent in a rat infested plantation house with termites to the extent that every once in a while you notice the wall crumbling to dust. Despite the sound of it, I am forever grateful to my friend for making his home [...]
Wed, 16 May 2007 19:13:24 +0000 - The Benefits of Food Poisoning…no really!
The other day, this guy mentioned how he’s had food poisoning twice in his life and how awful it was. He was going through the gory details as if he thought maybe I wouldn’t understand. All I was thinking was, twice in your life?! You’re so lucky! I’ve probably had it twice in the past [...]
Sat, 12 May 2007 02:41:50 +0000 - Free Tibet? What About Free Hawai’i?!
“I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.” -Dalai Lama Local man Riki Pestana-Torres has been trying to find hope in what he considers dark days for Hawai’ians. He has been protesting for Hawai’ian sovereignty since the late 1960s. Maui residents may be familiar [...]
Sun, 06 May 2007 08:47:15 +0000 - If the Dalai Lama Was a Surfer…
No matter how peace and love one wants to be, or wants others to be, sometimes we fall prey to our immediate reactions and needs, where even the telling of the story shows my own inability towards benevolence. The Zen of surfing makes all of our experiences out in the water relatable and symbolic on [...]
Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:04:06 +0000 - Quit Smoking! Me?
by contributing writer Ms. Reef Rash I remember when I started smoking cigarettes. It was 1977 and I was in the 4th grade. I started this bad habit so early on in life because my older sister –who my parents always had me tag along with– turned me on to everything fun. Back then, [...]
Wed, 25 Apr 2007 22:11:30 +0000 - Upcoming Events - Hilo, Hawaii to Los Angeles, California
Those who only read our feed don’t see the other pages on the CGW site, including the “Events” section, and since the first two listed here include both of my sisters (both this weekend!) and the third one is a good friend’s, I thought it required a broader mention. Also note, the Revo project has [...]
Sat, 21 Apr 2007 02:30:55 +0000 - Hawai’i Commemorative Quarter Choices - Vote Now!

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 22:49:10 +0000 - Surf Session: The Song in Your Head
When the waves are going off, like really going off, I always have the same song in my head. It’s not a song I ever, ever listen to or sing while on land. Actually, I don’t really know the words. It’s more like playing air guitar. I’m paddling out, huge waves slamming me. Then out [...]
Fri, 06 Apr 2007 23:57:58 +0000 - Broke Girl’s Guide to a No Botox Party
Let me begin by stating that I am not a medical doctor nor doctor of acupuncture. My 1000s of hours of training and working for almost ten years as a massage therapist, being receiver of countless sessions with acupuncturists (who besides making me feel awesome, spent time guiding me to do my own self-treatments [...]
Mon, 02 Apr 2007 18:07:46 +0000 - Will The Real Three R’s Please Stand Up…
No, not the Three R’s of Recycling: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, that Hawaii local boy Jack Johnson likes to sing-song about with his pal Curious George – making environmental awareness fun for kids! Nor the Three R’s of Compassion, used by religious groups to revive the ghettos: Relocation, Reconciliation, Redistribution. Nor the foundation of the “undo” [...]
