Protect Your Peace ☮︎

March 10, 2021

Protect Your Peace ☮︎
Let's be clear, it's ok to not be ok ... We are one year into a world-wide pandemic and life as we knew it has changed for at least the foreseeable future.  If you've hit the pandemic wall, you are not alone.  I hit it about 10 days ago.  My mom hit it yesterday, my bestie hit it on Monday.  

There's been a lot of talk recently about toxic positivity, i.e., the belief that no matter how dire a situation is you should maintain a positive mindset and reject difficult emotions in a favor a cheerful facade. If you've been here for awhile you know that's not how we roll.  The past year has been some *ish ... give yourself permission to feel your feelings; some days you may feel them more than others. 

This blog post and our products are about joy, magic, friendship and community. My goal is for you to visit our website or read one of our posts and walk away in a good mood radiating positive vibes. One of the lessons I learned in 2020 is that happiness and sadness can co-exist; it's really about which state you decide to dwell in.⁣  Whatever you do sis, make sure your protect your peace.

Stylishly yours,
Kalyn
