Tikis in Paradise: Wahine Party

The Wahine party was just for the ladies. No boys allowed as Nicki so awesomly put on the invitations. A day of lunch and getting our nails done before the wedding the next day.

We all meet-up in Kahului at Da Kitchen, a locals' favorite, for some Hawaiian grinds. Their menu is pretty extensive and had something for everyone on it. A few who'd never had musubi before were intrigued by it and I encouraged them to give it a try. Everyone who did, loved it. Especially, Mykie!

Love the bracelets in our wedding colors given to me by Honey at my first bridal shower.

Showered with Aloha- Getting Dressed

With both of my best girlfriends in town, we decided to get ready for the shower in STYLE! In other words, we kind of did a dry run for the wedding and went all out with getting our hair and nails done. We went over to my  neighbor's house first thing in the morning to get ready. My neighbor, Deb, did each of our hair while we took turns getting dressed and putting our make-up on.

I have a vintage hair dryer and was able to bring that over so Deb could set Honey in curlers while she rolled my hair in hot curlers. Once I had my curlers in, Deb started going to work on Nicki's hair. I took that time to start on my make-up. Which I almost had finished before Deb was ready for me, again.

Don't you just love that hair dryer?
