Happy Holidays! I hope you’re having a wonderful season.✨🎄💕
I’ve created my original candles, Kiiola Flow Candles, with special winter blends.
“Cozy Rhythm” creates warm, comforting moments, while “Frost Reverb” offers a peaceful reset.
Each scent goes along with a playlist to create the mood! Visit my website to listen 🎶 Link in bio @helloimkiiola
They’ll be available at Coffee and All That Jazz @coffeenjazz72 , where I’ll be performing this Sunday, Dec 21, from 11 AM to 1 PM! Let’s celebrate the Winter Solstice together! ❄️

4 oz (113g) Tin Candle
– 100% Pure Soy Wax: A natural, eco-friendly wax from soybeans
– Essential Oils: Pure, plant-derived oils blended by Kiiola
– Himalayan Salt: Decorated with Himalayan salt in a colour reminiscent of Japanese cherry blossoms

Thank you so much for having us, Drom @dromtaberna ! Loved seeing the crowd!
It was World Hello Day on November 21, and under my name Kiiola, I wanted to send a big hello because kia ora means “hello” in the Māori language of New Zealand! 🇳🇿
And what a surprise, the DJ that night was from NZ, and we greeted each other with “Kia ora”! 👋🏼🤩✨ So cool!!
先週末の深夜ライブ!🎶いつも楽しいマダガスカルのドネバンドで、カナダ、メキシコのミュージシャンたちとギグでした✨
11月21日は世界ハローデー!世界にハローと平和の輪を広げましょうということで、きおら(ニュージーランドのマオリ語でハローの意)としてハロー活動をしました😆しかもハローデーは私の誕生日で、これぞ運命!
そしたらなんとこの日のDJが、ニュージー出身の方!🤩初めてリアルで「Kia ora」を言い合ってあいさつという、自分にとってかなり素敵な夜になりました🥹✨
これからもハロー活動するぞ!👋🏼😆
毎度素晴らしいミュージシャンたちが集まるDrom、最高です。ありがとう!🙏🏼✨💕

Hello, friends!👋🏼 This is Kiiola.
I’d like to invite you to celebrate World Hello Day today, November 21.
What we can do is just say hello to ten people, even if you don’t know them, and spread your love! 🌎💕
Why am I doing this? Because my name is Kiiola (Kia ora), which means “hello” in the Māori language of New Zealand! And it’s also my birthday today!😀
So let’s spread peace & good vibes to celebrate World Hello Day today!🥰
Hello, bonjour, konnichiwa, hola, Kia Ora!
みなさんこんにちは、Kiiolaです 👋🏼
今日11月21日は、世界ハローデー!世界にあいさつの輪を広げて平和な世の中にしよう、という記念日です 🌎💕
何をするかというと、10人に挨拶してコミュニケーションをとるだけ🎵
なぜこれをわたしが推奨しているかというと、わたしの名前「きおら」はニュージーランドのマオリ語で「こんにちは」という意味だから。そして、11月21日はわたしの誕生日だから!😀
是非、みなさんも周りの人たち10人(もしくはそれ以上)に挨拶して、ハッピーな1日を過ごしてね!🥰
こんにちは、hello, bonjour, hola, きおら!
