There are so many people in this life that I admire, I just want to share them. Click through you might find something you’ll enjoy and cherish like I did. I hope the lists never run out..
Reality Check Club — Kayla created this website as a space for women to communicate themselves through their expression and art. In a year like 2020, a blog like this and prompts that get the brain flowing is necessary and healing.
Phlemuns — Handmade beautiful garments by James. Works of art and there are so many pieces that I look forward to owning and treasuring when the time and funds are right. I love Phlemuns, plain and simple. The mind of the creator is a beautiful one.
a Bad year - a portion of the proceeds go to @mentalhealthamerica, JE is someone I met two years ago now and have admired and cared for since. He says “Good and bad things are part of life. Accept it. The bad is a learning process. We will surpass it.” The Laws of the Universe say this in ways. Good and bad are just two extremes of the same thing. I copped his latest hat release, even though hats don’t necessarily fit me. Who knows maybe one day he’ll release a beanie, i know thatll be a good one.
Bueno- It Means Good — I met Alexander, the same time I met JE. We worked together! Easy to say I miss him and his energy. He’s passionate about his brand and his art and his tees have such a special element to them. It reminds me of parts of my childhood and upbringings, like having Chiquita bananas on a tee, brings memories of home and the food my mom always had around. Things we often overlook as we grow older but are so meaningful to us as children. It is comforting. I always look forward to the collections Alexander drops. From having Tito Puentes to having Walter Mercado and his brilliance on a tee, I know ill always see something that reminds me of culture I grew up in.
Zona Baari - I met Ruqayyah at Clay, she told me about the mouth jewelry she makes while she was sculpting a wall planter, she has a beautiful energy and i knew her creations would match that. She makes beautiful ceramic and metal jewelry and creates organically flowing textiles. Her angel bone earrings are my favorite ceramic piece of jewelry i own.
Come Back as a Flower — Cbaaf makes comfort easy. I own a pair of shorts and i can say i didnt take them off for at least a few weeks. Also easy because he sources beautiful vintage tees and i switched them out every day. My favorite shirts this year have been cbaaf tees. The owner is also just great, thanks D.
The Clair Sense— The Clair Sense makes wonderful crystal and stone creations, I bought a beautiful fluorite she wrapped for me. One of a kind necklaces with great insights by Lauren. Being around Lauren before, I felt the healing energy in the crystal I bought.
SSsylverLight Candles— I bought two candle pieces from Audrey earlier this year. The candles smell amazing, I still carry around the amethyst she put on top. They were in these beautiful cement molds with flowers sprinkled through layers of wax. *chefs kiss* you can shop her collections on Etsy!
Vavis Trenzitas— Handwoven necklaces and earrings by Vavi. Vavi not only makes jewelry but is also a great photographer and person and you could find all their work on their website (the link) I bought this incredible orange necklace with a brass center piece, it’s beautifully woven together. Thanks Vavi!
Jalxndra — Jasmin makes beautiful jewelry and I’ve had my eye on her gold hoops for a long time, they’re beautiful and dainty. I bought one of her solo dangly earrings and I wear it with all my mixed necklaces. Some good— lasting daily earring additions!
Hi.stevie — CBD oil that really does the job for me. I was taking a dropper or two at night in the beginning of the pandemic because my teeth grinding was pretty intense. I woke up feeling way less sore and eventually it stopped making my teeth hurt. I also use it in my coffee, I like a warm cup of black coffee, some cinnamon, and a dropper of cbd goddess oil mixed in. Excited for the cbd journey hi.stevie is having. Thanks Court for having me be a part of it!
I will never stop being inspired, we are all conscious creators of our own realities and I admire and love what people bring to their own lives. I will always be inspired by people.
