Hi everyone! I’m excited to introduce my merch, “Kiiola Flow Candles”! 🌿🕯️✨
I created these eco-friendly, 100% pure soy wax candles with essential oils to pair with music, allowing you to enjoy the harmony of sound, scent, and the gentle warmth of candlelight.
We have three kinds of scents:
1. Radiant Vibes – Energize: Awaken Your Inner Radiance
2. Clear Harmony – Refresh: Find Clarity, Embrace Balance
3. Gentle Groove – Calm : Unwind, Breathe, Relax
Each candle comes with a specially curated playlist that I’ve personally selected to enhance your experience! 🎶
You can find them at my upcoming events, or DM me directly.
Thank you so much for your support—every purchase directly helps me continue my journey as an independent artist! 🎶🙏🏼💛

It’s coming soon! (I hope)🤩🤩
I’m working hard to try out the BEST blends of these to create my merch. Soon, you’ll see my handmade items at upcoming gigs, possibly starting at the end of this month!🩷🩷✨✨
パンデミックの時からたまに作ってたんだけど、これからとある手作りアイテムをライブ会場で販売することにします!ということで、この中から理想のブレンドをひたすら模索し、やっとイメージに近い組み合わせが決まった🥳
今月末からのライブ会場でお披露目できるかも!是非その時は遊びに来てください!😍

We are beautiful no matter the situation we’re in. Whether we’re out or staying in, married or single, with or without children. No matter what we look like, how old we are, or whether we’re feeling up or down, every moment of being a woman is beautiful. Strong and beautiful.
Happy International Women’s Day! 🌼💕✨
どんな状況に置かれていようが私たちは美しい。外に出ていても出ていなくても、既婚でも独身でも、子供がいてもいなくても、見た目がどうであろうとも、気分がハイでもローでも、私たち女性は強くて美しい。自分たちのために立ち上がり、それが認められる権利がある。
ハッピー国際女性デー!🎉🩷
