You’ve been ASKING when this hoodie will be released so it’s here! 🙊

Consider this your sign to stop waiting for the right words.

Wear them instead. 🤍

LOVE HEALS on the front.
YOU’RE LOVED on the back.

Because you never know who might need to read those words today, including you.

New hoodie + tee are officially available, stock is limited so preorders are also open.

Go be someone’s little reminder that they’re loved. 🫶

Tag someone you’d put this on immediately. 👇

✨ NEW BLOCK PRINT TOTES - PREORDERS ARE OPEN ✨

A fresh batch of our handmade block print tote bags is on its way, and we’re opening up limited preorders before they arrive!

Each tote is handmade by a talented team of women, using traditional block printing techniques and beautiful fabrics that deserve a second life. 🧡

But there’s more to our block print collection than just pretty prints.

🌿 Zero waste: Our smaller block print products are made using fabric scraps from our larger products, because we believe good materials shouldn’t end up in the trash.

🤝 Fair trade: Every piece is made with care by the women who bring these designs to life paid fairly for their skills.

🌎 Made with intention: From the people who make them to the materials we use, we’re always trying to leave a good mark on this earth.

These totes are limited in quantity and won’t last long.

🛍️ Preorder yours now, shipping begins the first week of October.

Pretty things with a purpose? That’s our kind of tote. 💚

A little reminder that hit me way harder than I expected: time is going to pass whether you’re ready or not.

We spend so much time waiting for the “right” moment, when we have more money, more confidence, more time, less fear, a better plan…

And then suddenly another year is gone.

You don’t need to have your whole life figured out. You just need to stop waiting for permission to start living it.

Take the trip. Start the business. Change careers. Leave what’s no longer serving you. Wear the outfit. Post the thing. Tell someone you love them. Make the scary decision.

You’re not running out of time. You’re being reminded that the time you have is worth using. 🤍

What’s one thing you’ve been waiting to do “someday”? Maybe someday is today.

“Sorry, I can’t talk right now, I’m working.”

Also me: answering a customer DM in the grocery store, editing an order at dinner, finishing deals at brunch, checking sales in bed, and sending an email on my way to the airport for a trip with my real life hubby. 😂

At this point, my business and I need couples therapy. 💀
