we’re two

It is a truly special feeling to be celebrating our 2nd year in business as an online shop!

Without a doubt, this would not be possible without YOUR support.

As a small business owner, taking risks is an every day activity. While those risks can be thrilling… trying something new, changing things up… they can also come with a side of terrifying. At times, there are quite a few unexpected, mundane, costly, and unglamorous parts involved in this work.

With the ups, and despite the downs, we are very blessed and proud to still be here.

We definitely believe in celebrating the “small wins” around here… and we are filled with so much GRATITUDE (and in a few hours, a few glasses of champagne, too!).

THANK YOU!

“IF THERE IS NO RISK, THERE IS NO REWARD. ”

SUMMER’S IN SESSION

Yesterday was the 1st day of SUMMER - our FAVORITE season!

The sun is out longer, the air is warm (well - HOT lol), and it always feels like something exciting is just around the corner. Just one sunset or sunrise away from a “perfect” day, yes? We are all about balance over here… yes, we know you must work, you must take care of your family, your responsibilities… just don’t forget to make, yes, MAKE, time for YOURSELF.

Here are some of our favorite summer activities (other than beach days and the odd glass or rosé, of course) that can help you enjoy the day, relax, and reset!

READ (YES - READING!)
It is a leisurely activity you can do as you hang by the pool or inside with the AC that just happens to help with stress management and cognition to name a few health benefits! Just make sure you don’t forget your sunblock and post-sun protection!
TAKE MINI TRIPS
If you can’t head to Paris this summer for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games… plan a stay-cation or head to a resort nearby! You, know - even something as simple as trying a new hiking trail with a friend can do the trick!
GET SOME SLEEP!
Well - what we really mean is PRIORITIZE getting some rest!
It is easy to get pulled into early morning hikes and stay out later than usual after long dinners al fresco and nights out (with or without margaritas)… so make sure to get your beauty sleep!

We are especially discerning in curating the products we offer and the brands we partner with.

Paying special attention in this regard, ensures we offer you, not only a truly exceptional selection of quality products, but that we support businesses that align with our values, as well.

We specialize in offering you a variety of products that are perfect for you to enjoy as you refocus on prioritizing self-care, slow living, and, ultimately, elevating your own daily experience… while ensuring those same products are thoughtfully gift-worthy; adding practical value via function, and additionally providing a level of beauty via aesthetic expression, for the recipient.

As a self-funded business, it is critical we are creative and decisive with our resources.

It is incredibly important for us to align with those placing and sharing a high-level of importance on sustainable practices and that are also, equally supportive of and celebrate - equity and inclusion.

Social good is important to us and we hope, in turn, to YOU. If you’re anything like us - when, where, how and with whom you spend your hard-earned money, makes a difference.

We take “doing our part” - a step further…

1% of all our sales go toward The Stripe Climate Initiative
3% of all our sales go to The ACLU Foundation 501(c)(3)
With the help of The Eden Reforestation Project, 2 trees are planted per order.

With your help, and as our small business continues to grow, we look forward to further expanding our giving efforts.

Every single order we receive truly makes a huge difference in how we’re able to operate (THANK YOU!) and the impact we are able to make.
