Kelly L. Hawaii is an environmentalist, artisan, teacher, mother, world traveler and admirer of the different languages, cultures and world traditions. Kelly lived overseas for nearly ten years and met many inspirational mentors and teachers along the way who taught her about herbs, Eastern and holistic medicine, acupuncture, gardening, wine making and waste management. When Kelly met her husband, Parosh Hawaii, in 2014 in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan in Northern Iraq, they quickly became inseparable and a productive relationship started out of a shared passion for helping people. They were determined to find a way to raise awareness and consciousness about their philosophy of Reduce, Reuse, Refill & Repurpose.  They opened their first Lüfka Refillables Zero Waste Store in Seminole Heights, Tampa, FL in the summer of 2019, and their second store in South Tampa in November, 2020.
