Miss Melodie Yoshida   In university I studied business marketing, while most of my work experience is in retail.  Somewhere in between all of that I found myself going to Bikram Yoga teacher training and started teaching as well. I’ve been teaching for 3 years now.  I enjoy other types of yoga, but the sweat sessions in a Bikram class is what I love most right now! I absolutely cannot do without snowboarding. I love the snow and the  huge mountains and the feeling of being so small on something so big is a rush!  When I moved back to the Hawaiian islands a few years ago, I tried surfing despite my fear of the ocean and NOW I am in love with that as well! One of my many passions is photography and enjoy anything crafty. My inventory of crafting supplies might look quite similar to Martha Stewart’s. The most recent craft challenge has resulted in purchasing a commercial-grade laser cutter. I will be trying my hand as a small business owner in the next few months! I int

  This is my favorite! I love the exotic designs and the colors are very vibrant. When you are travelling to warm destinations everyone sports a new bikini and I for one, am always looking at the beautiful women on the beach.  Women who sport their bikini no matter what size, age and color they are. These women always seem to exude confidence, I never had. I once met a lady years ago, in Hawaii in her 60's, who took yoga lessons on the beach with me and she wore her bikini well, (it did not wear her). I just remembered thinking why can't I be like her ? The way she spoke and posture like she was a ballet dancer, she was incredible! Then I realized that she had what I did not possess, beauty from the inside that oozed out of her. She was not particularly attractive like Sophia Loren but she had a lot of sex appeal. She had strength and her beauty was from within. Smiling and laughing like a flirting school girl, she made me blush and I was sold. I wanted to be this lady! I wa

Krista  Corcoran   Summer hippie, earth lover, adventure seeker.  Free spirit, rebel, daydreamer and a hopeless romantic. I'm a wacky, fun loving, live in the moment kinda gal and I create my craft with inspiration from the earth's creation and old, vintage photos.  My work is warm and full of earthy tones, which makes me stand out with something different. I hope to bring a summery, nature like feeling to those who view my art and feel a sense of peace and calm. I'm a big believer in positive thinking and that what we think, we create, what we feel, we attract and, what we imagine, we become.  Because I am original and tend to drift on my own path I have become someone I have wanted to be by spreading delight and goodness through my passion and myself. Peace and love, Krista

WBFF 2013, Halifax Hi its me Melanie MM of Keikaikoa.com what to say about myself ? Well that is me last year at a bikini competition on my 40th Birthday. I wanted to do something that would make me feel happy again, to get out of my former skin and to a new one. A different me, a better one...A healthier new me. That meant putting me first, to become a better mother, wife and friend.  I was grieving and refusing to live my life with regrets. So I worked hard and put all my energy into my meals, my workouts and yoga. I can't even begin to articulate how grateful I am for all the support and love I received from my friends and family. So this website isn't just about the swimwear, the products, the life on the beach... its about the process. Growing up in Wolfville, Nova Scotia was like being transported into another world, its rolling hills and summers at the apple orchard was really a fantastic way to live and see Canada in its purity. I studied Fashion Design in Mo
