Explanation

Okay, so I'm ready to start explaining.

It all started with a boy or rather a man that moved in next door.  The moment we met my life changed.

We spent many evenings talking about endless subjects. He was one of the most creative, capable men I've met.  

After knowing him for 8 months he left to travel the country and find a place to grow his Motorcycles and Art business.

His creativity and drive ignited a fire in me.  The kind that turns dreams into reality.

When he departed Kauai he mentioned Instagram was an easy way to keep in touch.

At the time I didn’t have an Instagram account but I heard it was an excellent platform for artists.

One night I started looking at different Instagram pages and thought, 

"I’d want my page to showcase a business…one that represented femininity, creativity and sustainability", but what exactly did that mean?

All at once the idea came to mind to create a women’s bathrobe line that supported non-profits.

Ideas immediately flooded my brain. Like using sustainable light weight fabric instead of bulky terry cloth to make the robes sexy yet practical.

I’d tie the robes proceeds into different local Hawaii non-profits.  I could bring my daughter along to help at these non-profits and document it.

Many more pieces came to mind which I created a whole binder for.  

When I was ready to take action I Googled, “how do I find a sustainable clothing manufacturer?” and the program Factory45 was the 3rd link down.

It was an online sustainable start-up fashion course.  I applied when applications opened and awaited nervously.

I got in! And things have never been the same.

Crossing paths with my old neighbor transformed my life beyond recognition, switching my career path from herbal supplement rep to #slowfashion revolutionista!

He catalyzed an adventure within me waiting to begin.

An adventure, my dear free-spirited reader, that you’re invited to join…

As we each make one earth conscious + human friendly choice at a time.
