Women Helping Women Tea Party









This Sunday My dear friend Liz of Maui Makeup Artistry and I freelanced for MAC Cosmetics. We did touch ups and Alice in Wonderland themed makeup for all the lovely ladies who came out to attend the Women Helping Women Tea Party. This year the theme was Women in Wonderland. It took place at the Molokini Lookout overlooking Gannon’s: A Pacific View Restaurant in Wailea.
Everyone dressed to the nines in costume as their favorite character from the beloved story. I met the enchanting owner of Enchantress, and Fifi & Bootzie Boutique Britta while doing her makeup.She was dressed as a fellow Alice like myself.I loved her costume! I just had to share a picture we took together with Liz.

What a whimsical afternoon it was! And such a worthy cause.

The mission of Women Helping Women is to end domestic violence through advocacy, education and prevention, and offer safety, support and empowerment to all victims of domestic violence throughout Maui County. The Women Helping Women’s shelter and support programs include the Hale Lokomaika‘i emergency shelter for battered women and their children, a Domestic Violence Hotline, Temporary Restraining Order preparation and court advocacy, community-based domestic violence education and support groups for women and children, positive parenting groups and a Transitions Project.

In addition to attending, there are many ways to help Women Helping Women make this annual event a success. For more information on donating an item for auction, purchasing ad space in the program or becoming a sponsor, download a donor kit, which is available on the Women Helping Women Website at www.whwmaui.net.
