Kir Helps You Live Well

After surviving ,and I must confess, enjoying the  "snowmageddon" of 2010 I am ready for spring! As I mentioned last month we have lots of great things in store for you. Have you checked out our new orange logo? It’s gorgeous. I hope you enjoy it as well as our newly designed, more informative and easier to use product pages.

It’s been such a pleasure helping thousands and thousands of you to fill your lives with healthy, eco-conscious and beautifully inspired goods. We continue to set the bar even higher, to bring you the very best of the best at fair prices with personal service.  This month we are unveiling even more new goodies to help you live well:

Natural Nail Polish: So many fabulous colors to choose from and I'm pretty sure you won't miss the toluene, formaldehyde and DBP that is missing from these long wearing natural polishes. 

Double Walled Porcelain Travel Mugs: Such a joy to hold in your hand! These sturdy and well designed mugs are beautiful but also practical. They are dishwasher and microwave safe and feature a removable splash resistant lid. 

New Reusable Bags from Envirosax: If only these bags did not last so darn long... I have no good reason to retire my 2 year old envirosax bags and upgrade to these great new styles for spring. 

Reusable Produce Bags from Flip and Tumble: I LOVE these produce bags. They are super light weight while still being durable. But the thing I really love is that the super light fabric allows you to wash the produce in the bag. It does not hold onto the water so I  just wash and then drop the whole bag into my produce drawer in the fridge.

 

 

Live Well,

Kristen

Kir Shops Smart: Just For You!

We’ve just returned from the trade shows in New York and the big story  is “what you are not going to get”. That’s right, you’re not going to see tons and tons of  otherwise adorable and practical items that I found at the show . Why? Because once I started asking the tough questions, it became clear I could not, in good conscience, bring many of these items to the shoppers of Kir.   I want to know, where the items were made and by whom, what they are made of and all of the background info I need to verify product safety, authenticity and social responsibility.  It was a real eye opener and all around great experience.  I’m learning as I go and feel pretty darn fantastic  about being able to edit a truly great collection of goods for you  to choose from.

 

The new frog tea for two set from Shinzi Katoh is already in stock.

Now for the good news! After several days of  research and shopping we’ve uncovered about 7 new (and really really exciting) lines for you!  They will each be introduced here as they come into stock so be on the lookout between now and mid April.

Domino Magazine Folds

Though there are worse trials and tribulations in the world today (by far)... I think pretty much every women I know is probably in shock right now. Wondering what they are going to read in bed at night with folding of Domino magazine announced earlier today. I know I have enjoyed the fresh designs style and fun new ideas that Domino brought to my doorstep every month and will truly miss this wonderful publication!
