Oprah & Me


Who would have known that this store owner and Oprah would have so much in common? Ok...so we don't have weekly girl lunches together, and we've never even sent emails back and forth, and...well...the truth is I've never met her and she wouldn't have a clue as to who I am. So why do we have so much in common? Every time I find a new line for my store, within months it's on Oprah's favorite things list! I swear, she is following me around the trade shows.


The latest is Kai. I've been carrying this wonderful bath and body line for several years. I think I was one of the first on the East Coast to even pick the line up. Sure enough, there it was on Oprah's top 25 Christmas list must haves. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled when one of my lines makes headlines, but then the demand for that product grows to such magnitude that it becomes difficult to restock it in my store as quickly as it was before Ms. O told the world about it. Not to mention the marketing 101 supply vs demand rule which means a price increase (although I must add I always thought it should be more expensive then it was). Oh well...it's still one of my favorite lines and, thanks to Oprah, it is now one of my best selling lines as well.


philosophy of Kai:


"breathe in the beauty of kai, and experience the light and soothing
scent of today's most sought-after fragrance."
beauty lies in the simplest and purest of things. kai brings this idea to life by using exotic fragrance and natural essences in our light and intoxicating scent. kai captures the irresistible fragrance of the tropics in a full line of perfume oil and body products. breathe in the beauty of kai, and experience today's most sought-after fragrance."


It truly is a beautiful scent and with your choice of lotion, buffers, dry oil, body butter, perfume and candles I'm sure you'll find one that you too will fall in love with.
