kira kira life will be at the Makawao 3rd Friday!


kira kira life will be at the Makawao 3rd Friday!

Which Friday?
This coming Friday the 19th! from 5:30 to 8:30 pm

This is how it happened...

Whenever I drive by cute, beautiful boutiques, I think to myself, "Wouldn't be nice if I could have a physical store for kira kira life, not just an online store?" But rent here on Maui is extraordinarily expensive. As of today, I cannot afford to rent a space.

Then one day (actually it was yesterday), an idea came to me. I said to myself, "If you cannot have a 'bricks and a mortar' store full-time, maybe you can have one from time to time." I asked myself, "Okay... how?"

Then I answered my own question, "By having a booth at local event."

Aha! A light bulb went off in my head. I immediately googled "Makawao 3rd Friday" (because I live near Makawao) and found a phone number to call, which led me to call another person, which led me to call another person :-), but it went all smoothly (everyone answered the phone). Ten minutes later, I was given a spot for this month (I thought I would have to wait until next month or so). Just like that!

So, I will be at this coming Friday's Makawao 3rd Friday with kira kira life's products!
 Please bring your family and friends and say hi to me in my "bricks and mortar" store.

May we shine from within,

Do You Want kira kira life Newsletter in Your Primary Tab?


Many of us, Gmail users, know that Gmail has started to sort incoming emails and place them in different tabs. This feature puts kira kira life's newsletter in your Promotional tab.

If you like this new feature, and if you frequently check the Promotional tab, great.

But I had friends who told me, "Wow, I've never clicked the Promotional tab before!" These good friends of mine who totally support my new business (kira kira life) had never seen my newsletter!

If you want to receive kira kira life's newsletters in your Primary inbox, you can simply drag the email from the Promotions tab into the Primary tab, then click “yes” when it asks if you want to do that for all of my emails.

That's it!

Thank you for choosing to receive our shining news.

May you shine from within,

kira kira life

Gメールをお使いになられている方はご存知かと思いますが、Gメールは入ってくるメールを自動的に種類別に振り分けるようになりました。メルマガなどは「プロモーション」のタブに入ります。なので、kira kira lifeからのニューズレターも、こちらのタブに入っていることと思われます。

Gメールのこの新しい機能が気に入っておられる方、「プロモーション」のタブも頻繁にチェックされている方は問題ないのですが、私の友人には「えぇ!プロモーションタブなんて一度もチェックしたことが無かったわよ」という方が何人かいたのです。この方たちはkira kira lifeを心から応援してくださっている方たちなのですが、なんと一度もkira kira lifeから送られていたニューズレターを目にしていなかったのでした。

もし私どもからのニューズレターを「メイン」のタブでお受け取りになりたい場合は、単純にkira kira lifeからのメールを「プロモーション」から「メイン」にドラッグ(マウスの左側のボタンを押したままマウスを移動させること)してドロップ(ボタンを放すこと)してください。

「今後info@kirakiralife.comからのメールにこのように対応しますか?」の右の箇所「はい」をクリックします。

それだけです。

kira kira lifeからのキラキラなニュースを受け取ってくださってありがとうございます。
