Spring is in the air!
"Behold, my friends, spring has come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love."
The earth starts to wake up after the long winter, the greens start to go and flowers to blossom. This is the season of renewal, rebirth, and opportunity. Spending time outside, you can feel this fresh energy, and it feels so good!
According to some traditions and ayurveda, spring is prime time for a cleanse. a cleanse for the body, mind, and even our environment. reflecting over our lifestyle and eliminating the no longer necessary. Gather a community of like-minded friends and go out to public parks, beaches, and forests to clean out trash. This kind of cleanse benefits all living beings.
Spring is also a time for celebration! Easter, Passover, Earth Day, and Mother’s Day to name a few. Celebrate each with intention and appreciation for this beautiful season.
Spring is the season to think deeply about our mother earth. As we continue to take, mother earth losing the ability to give. We must show Earth the love she has so selflessly shown us. IF we all make small changes, we can make a big difference.
While I believe that every day should be earth day, lets use the Spring season, and the celebration of Earth Day to come back to our devotion to the planet.
Nature is my inspiration and my everything. My art is a physical expression of my inner soul and true self. I hope to inspire others to live an earthy, happy, and mindful lifestyle.
Most of my designs carry elements from nature, and my goal is to promote green living from a young age.
This spring season, get your little ones involved, teach them about mother earth, plant some trees, go out for a park cleanse together. Enjoy this beautiful season to the fullest by giving back.
Happy Spring!
peace & Love,
Olga
Freedom is Bliss
“freedom is the essence of nature, and bliss is the essence of freedom”
we are all born free and blissful. Sometimes, as we grow up and mature, this essence of nature, freedom, and bliss is clouded by our society and other distractions. If we remember that this is the only truth and we are able to overcome confusing obstacles of lifestyle and ignorance, we can come back to this feeling of freedom and bliss.
Sometimes to be a little rebellious is not a bad thing at all. Being different and not following the crowd may be the door that leads to that freedom.
Also doing something crafty, artsy, and playing music can bring us closer to complete freedom and bliss, even if just for a little while.
Find freedom in the little things in life, like a walk-in nature, create a unique art piece, or dance like no one is watching.
Remember that this inner freedom is always available to you, if only you stop going through the daily motions and focus on your inner self.
Freedom and bliss are also experienced when you stay true to who you really are, enjoy being yourself!
Many of our designs invoke and inspire this essence of freedom and bliss. Each design has a special name and a short meaning. We invite you to explore each meaning and think about it deeply. We hope it inspires freedom and bliss in your day.
peace & Love,
Olga

A Touch of Philosophy
“We become grateful for what we have when we realize we are one with what we experience”
I was introduced to philosophy over a decade ago and It has become a very major part of my being.
I love to read about different philosophical theories, discuss deep thoughts that may seem out of this world, and tend to add a touch of it in my art.
Each design that I create takes lots of thought, meaning, and purpose. Most of my designs have either hidden messages to discover, or direct words to portray a beautiful message.
Can you see the philosophical significance in some of the following desings? I will leave some hints below each image!
“Different IS Beautiful” Kids/Youth Tee Shirt in Mauve
I created my "Different is Beautiful" design to pass on an important message to little ones (and everybody around them): Be different, unique, stand out! Don't just try to fit in ("like sheep"), create your own path, love who you are, be who you were meant to be ❤
“Different IS Beautiful” Decorative sticker
I feel like many of us have been thought from childhood to fit in and blend in with society, but I feel like we were born to stand out, to pursue our true potential, meaning, dharma.. find your own vibe within your tribe.
“Fearless Kiwi” Kids Fleece Sweatshirt in Ocean
The Kiwi, an endangered little bird that is native to New Zealand, thought to have originated from the union of the Sky Father and the Earth Mother (because they can’t fly, how they arrived in New Zealand is not completely clear). This Fearless little bird is here to teach us that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one step!
“Fearless Kiwi” Organic Sleeveless Romper in Natural
If you allow it, fear will take over your actions. It will stop you from doing the things that you love most. If only we are able to acknowledge the fear, push it aside, and start with one step, the outcome may be outstanding!
“Peaceful Forest” Organic Baby Bodysuits and Cotton Tees
The peaceful forest, earthy and mysterious, where you can feel the union of existence and oneness with all life. So, get your symbolic hiking shoes and begin searching for answers out in the wild. Explore what is right, radiate outward with love and curiosity.
“Peaceful Forest” Decorative Sticker
Featuring a Wild Turkey, a Mindful Squirrel, and a Zenned Out Snail living peacefully in their wild environment among the healing Echinacea Flower and Trippy Mushrooms in a dimensionless unity of absolute perfection.
“Peaceful Forest” Organic Cotton Baby Bodysuit in Natural
if you would like to learn more about each design, each item description will have a quote that inspired it or a few sentences with the meaning behind it. My goal is to promote peace, freedom and green living through my art (with a touch of philosophy)!
peace & Love,
Olga
