“Owning a shop here in Hawai‘i has been both rewarding and challenging, but at the end of the day you remember you live in paradise and that I get to jump in the beautiful ocean every day,” says Tawnya Proctor, owner of Shores Company (shopshoresco.com) and Islé Hous (islehous.com). “I absolutely love the community, and nothing beats our Hawaiian sunsets.” From island decor to signature fragrances and candles to jewelry, there’s something for everyone at the Shores Company flagship store on the North Shore of O‘ahu, tucked along the Ka‘ena mountains in Waialua. “Each product is carefully handpoured in small batches right here in the Old Waialua Sugar Mill,” says Proctor. “Our No. 1-selling fragrance would be my personal favorite, Windswept. It’s available in candles, perfume and body oil.” Plus, after shopping at the boutique, guests can indulge in self-care at her private beauty spa Islé Hous for top haircare by Proctor herself, who is best known for creating her signature “Beach Beauty’’ look. Reserve the Beachcomber Balayage with the Cloud9 Head Spa treatment, and you’ll leave feeling fabulous.
