KEEPIN’ IT COCO
Talofa Lava, Malo E Lelei, Kia Orana, Fakalofalahi Atu, Bula Vinaka and WASSUP YO! Welcome to The Coconet TV, the new online hub featuring all things Cocolicious, Coco-Fresh & Coco-Nasty!
For the past 4 months, we have been filming our epic ‘How to’ webisodes across the pacific. As a kiwi-born Hamo livin’ it up in New Zealand, you sometimes lose a bit of your heritage.
