I could spend all my time experimenting and making messes. Being in the ethers of creativity is my bliss zone. If only I had someone to pick up after my monumental disasters and make dinner. Wait a minute...sounds a lot like being an 8 year old!⁠⠀

What are some areas of creativity that you like to get experimental with?⁠⠀

Well it's September so I think it's legal for me to start talking about Halloween? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I actually can't stand when hype begins for a holiday that is months away! Michaels...ehem. But look at me now.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So for those that wait all year for this dark night of the veil thinning, I'm talking to you. My Goths.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm planting a seed for you to create a radical headpiece with a Flora Aura Crown or Halo.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This one feels a little Scfi to me...👽⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What are some ideas you're thinking for this year for yourself or your kids?⁠⠀

Flower crowns are not a necessity of life. They are frivolous, excessive, superfluous. However they seem to be deeply intertwined with our anthropology. ⁠
⁠
Most cultures around the world have a long history with floral adornment going back to ancient times. Flowers must have been jewelry for our ancestors, especially for ceremonies.⁠
⁠
Could it be encoded in our DNA to wear flowers?⁠
⁠
⁠
I always feel the connection to my ancestors when foraging and then making a crown. ⁠
⁠
Are there any activities you do that give you the feeling your grandmothers are surrounding you? I would love to know. ⁠

Muted pastels embodying the melancholic feeling of Summer fading. ⁠
⁠
3 great things about making Flora Aura Crowns or Halos with dried flowers ⁠
⁠
1. They last as long as you want them to⁠
2. They look beautiful hanging or sitting on a shelf when not being worn.⁠
3. They are ready to wear to your next soiree⁠

My kids are back in school today and it's awfully quiet around here. First order of business is a massage, then diving back into work. So much falls by the wayside during summer when you're a mompreneur!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Time to climb back in the saddle and try to remember where I was at before summer began. Oh yes.. Flower Hat Bands...that's right!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Anyone else dazed and confused?⁠⠀

Leaving The Halo partially exposed is a beautiful thing. With traditional flower crown making the wire, tape and glue are not as attractive as this sleek band and brass button. You get a much cleaner look with The Halo. Not to mention the vast versatility and possibility of design.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I rest my case with this easy medusa crown!⁠⠀

Just sayin hi and wishing you a heart filled weekend. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
With all the anxiety and depression inducing things happening on our planet right now, it's essential that we disconnect from our screens and connect with nature and fellow humans. Get some sun on your skin or sit next to a tree that you love. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We can do this, lovely people. Don't forget to breathe.⁠ (Note to self)

Always a wetsuit hanging in the background around here. Everywhere I point my camera there is one! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I take most of my photos in and around my small beach house which has turned out to be a great studio for my work. There is tons of light and lots of white tones which works well for the feed. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It does get tricky with the limited space, but I love the concept of making do with what I have. It forces me to get creative and resourceful. Limitations are just opportunities to be inventive.⁠ That's pretty much the mantra that Flora Aura was founded on.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But @quiksilver can you start making white wetsuits though...⁠⠀
⁠⠀
P.S. My girl rocking a Medusa Halo with a vintage Gunne Sax dress.⁠⠀

Using just one type of flower makes creating with The Halo so simple and stream lined. I used Chamomile Flower here and loving the laciness, the volume, and earthy, sweet scent. ⁠⠀

Are you a creative minimalist or a maximalist who doesn't fear using wild mixes of colors, layers, and textures?⁠⠀

Who else saw the twisted movie Midsommer? I went for the flower crowns..obvi. They were pretty much the star of the movie, although I was a little disappointed that they used fake flowers. They needed Flora Aura on set.⁠ Call me next time Hollywood.⁠
⁠
The film was a visceral and hyper-visual display more than anything. Using shock as it's main narrative tool, there were a few scenes I would like to unsee. But cool crowns guys!⁠
⁠
Anyone seen a good movie lately?⁠

She left for camp for 2 weeks. It's always so hard to say goodbye, but knowing she is about to have the time of her life washes away any sadness of mine. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Before leaving she helped me build IG content for the month of August, being my model. (Not an easy task for a kid.) So lots of photos of her coming down the pipe.
⁠⠀
I will be off to the sierras for a few days with my son for dose of the wild, but the shop is still open. Grab yourself a Halo or Crown for the end of summer. Link in bio⁠⠀

Straw Flower Halo for a late Summer feel with its crispy texture and yellow faces. It stirs my soul a little with the idea of Fall. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The dried floral trend is gaining momentum and I am loving it. They are perfect for crown making.⁠⠀

Raise ya hand if you're loving it too!⁠⠀

When I was growing up and in school, kids like me never got any accolades or recognition for our unique forms of intelligence and creativity. Only the A students got all the cred and admiration of the teachers. The rest of us were lumped together as average or less than. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But I was very lucky in parents, they never looked at grades as a measure of worth or potential. They placed importance on kindness, hard work, creativity, and living joyfully. My dad, who is a successful entrepreneur, would bet on a C student over an A student any day. He is like an OG @garyvee who believes that EQ (emotional intelligence) holds more value in the business world.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As humans are slowly but surely being replaced by AI, our EQ and creativity is rising to the top, becoming our most significant assets. Things that robots cannot compete with. It makes me wonder why our education system still uses such an out dated paradigm of memorization and regurgitation. Things that robots are good at!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You've always been ahead of the curve, Dad. (he is 88 and works 7 days a week) And here I am with a Medusa headpiece on, made with my original Flora Aura invention...and building my own business. ⁠⠀

Medusa is one of my favorite mythological archetypes. I think she symbolizes the raw, unabashed, unapologetic, and misunderstood power of the feminine. The reason people fear her is because she reflects their own hidden power which scares them stone cold! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What if we stopped being afraid of what hides in our shadows and discovered it was our greatest ally?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Medusa...⁠⠀
-is not a people pleaser⁠⠀
-has fierce boundaries⁠⠀
-doesn't play small⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Let's be more like Medusa!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Anyhow, I'm always on the look out for snake like flora, I think I finally found it! @made.of.myth ⁠⠀

I don't know about you guys but I am ready for Mercury Retrograde to exit. Is this like the longest one on record or something? I'm always careful not to celebrate prematurely because there have been times when I thought I was in the clear...but no. Like Gandalf standing on the Bridge of Khazad Dum thinking he had ended the battle with The Balrog and then a fiery bull whip wraps around his ankle and pulls him down into the depths for yet another round! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So just a cautionary reminder. Don't break out the Margaritas just yet! Patience my friends...⁠⠀

I always felt nauseous when back to school commercials would come on. Those anxiety inducing images of school supplies and primary colored backpacks in July! Clearly the sadistic folks behind these campaigns were never children. Hey JC Penny, just leave us alone in our eternal summer boredom bliss will ya!⁠

The Hat Band is a new way of wearing florals that may be more accessible and comfortable for those who are on the fence about the whole flower wearing thing. Perhaps it will entice a new crop of folks to get on the floral crazy train.⁠

Three things that bring me motivation and excitement. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
1. Spreading the joy of wearing florals.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2. Seeing people create with the invention and having them validate the function and potential it holds.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
3. Inspiring people to interact with nature in new ways ⁠⠀

Well...how did I get here? The Talking Heads song is always playing somewhere in my mind. As I step deeper into my business journey and cannot turn back I am constantly wondering this. I really went and complicated life with this entrepreneurial thing. All the warnings from friends and family... Turn back! Just get a job and save your soul! I'll pray for you!⁠
⁠
But some greater voice tells me to keep going, you got this. So I keep going. There is some mysterious driving force that shoves me onward. ⁠
⁠
The risk of failure in business is high but there's something very exhilarating about risk. Playing it safe doesn't allow for big successes or big failures to occur, which are both gold so they say. ⁠
⁠
And I may ask myself was I right, was I wrong? And I may say to myself MY GOD.. what have I done!?⁠"⁠

What could be more luxurious than a tray of floral cuffs using Sweat Peas and Peonies? I would argue that flowers are more precious than fine jewelry because they are temporal. People hesitate to spend money on something that will die in a few days, but to me that makes them pure luxury and something to flex. ⁠
⁠
So next time you go to a fancy soiree put on your florals and leave the Ice at home.. or mix the two for ultimate flash.⁠
