Day One: Andrea & Mary’s Girls Business Retreat Week
My friend Mary and I get together a couple of times a year to work ON our businesses instead of IN our businesses. Mary owns Akamai Promotions- she is a marketing and communications consultant. My company helps businesses and communities move towards sustainability. We have a packed agenda this week- On the top of our respective lists is a re-doing our websites.
But fun is always on the agenda too, and we started today with going to Lighthaus Camera. Mary needed a new camera for taking photos to add to her Maui Events blog. Regina at Lighthaus Camera rocked, she was so knowledgeable about all of the different camera options and helped match Mary with a Canon Powershot SX1 IS. I am so jealous, but at least I get to play with it. I am using an old Canon PowerShot SD500, which has been a great camera, but is on its way out.
After that we went to the new Target in Kona to suss out a new couch for my office. We also tried the out the new camera. Wow- it is good- it even makes the cavernous Target look great.
After a few more errands in Kona and a little relaxing time back in cool, breezy Hawi, we went to Rebecca’s for Mask Making with Robin Mullin. Robin is a great mask maker and showed us how to make masks. We will be out and about on Halloween wearing our masks.
