EVERYONE WANTED TO KNOW IN 2017 💛💜💚💙WHEN I WON LEI PAPALE 👉🏽They called me the California girl and was told from HPR I was the first lei maker from the continental US to win FIRST PLACE at a Lei Day competition in its 91 year history. I was beyond proud and cried that day, because it was the first ever lei competition I had entered. Could not have done it without my family’s help, especially UNCLE MOSES (KUMU pua/Olelo) who flew over from Hilo to help me prepare✨🏆(Swipe for a funny TikTok) Mahalo Nui loa to all the Lei Lovers who perpetuate this treasured piece of our Hawaiian History. 🌺💋❤️Love LEILANI . . . #leidaycompetition #maydayisleiday #leimaker #leilove #leisbyleilani #lei #leipapale #kapiolanipark #hawaii #sharingthealohaspiritoneleiatatime (at Kapiolani Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZe6lsPJvbR/?utm_medium=tumblr
