Our Story

Photos

Tina crawled out of a multi dimensional hellscape and Rachel was begged to keep her. In her free time Tina enjoys biting men and children and watching Rachel play RuneScape. To know Tina is to love Tina.

Tina Baldwin

Pepper was found on a mattress in the racing streets of Houston, TX and now loves taking over the entire king sized mattress with her loving moms and Type A sister. Pepper’s special gift is not knowing or caring about the difference between edible and inedible items. She likes short walks, the nearest dumpster, and making her sister Tina worry.

Travel

"If I were to take a trip on the south side of the island, these are the spots that I would hit! This drive is nostalgic from my childhood with cerulean water and occasional humpback whale sightings. I always make a stop at Uncle Clay's for shave ice on the way."-E

South Side Day Trip

"These are some of my favorite spots to stop at on my way to the North Shore! This drive is the most beautiful in my opinion- you will have the mountains on the left and the ocean on the right. I always stop at Kualoa Beach Park to take in the picturesque views. Stop at lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill for coffee, plate lunch, or garlic shrimp. There are so many beaches on the way- snorkel at Shark's Cove or jump off the rock at Waimea Bay. End the day exploring surf shops in Haleiwa and with a sweet treat from Matsumoto's."-E
