My Island Journey – From Japan to LA to Hawaii

Hi, and welcome to Island Glow Life!

I’m so excited to finally start this blog and share a little piece of my world with you.

I was born and raised in Japan, where I first discovered my love for beauty and self-care. In 2011, I moved to Los Angeles and started my journey as a hairstylist in beautiful Santa Monica. It was a big change, but LA became a second home to me. I loved the energy, the creativity, and meeting so many inspiring people through my work.

Then in 2020, I made another big move—this time to Hawaii. What started as a new chapter turned into the most peaceful and beautiful life I could imagine. Now, it’s been five years, and I still feel lucky every day to live so close to the ocean, surrounded by nature.

Island Glow Life is my way of sharing that journey.

Here, you’ll find beauty tips, travel diaries, island life inspiration, and little things that make me happy.

Whether you’re curious about Hawaii, love skincare, or just want a little island glow in your life—I hope this blog brings you something warm and positive.

Thank you for reading, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon!
