Born and raised in Hawaii, Lovena Harwood has managed to bring a bit of the islands to the East Coast with her. Established eight years after her move to the continental United States, East Coast Tropics, based in Haverhill, sells hand-made soaps and other bath products in an effort to promote the Hawaiian culture. Orders like the Take Out Gift Box Set (pictured) allow customers to choose the scent of soap and lotion they are to receive, as well as the packaging. Aloha!
