Rad Livin’: Meet Kate Lewis

Monday // April 6 // 2015

Designer and Artist Kate Lewis is the creative gal behind the Southern California surfboard bag brand Aye Papi. Each board is hand painted, creating a unique personality for each. Kate is all about individuality and being your unique self, and so when creating her bags, she ensures that no bag is ever the same.

One of my favourite parts about her site (aside from the rad board bags) is her blog. She shares the inspirations for her hand-painted gems, giving us an inside look into her creative process. She also showcases her daily life with a twist, illustrations over her photographs to show us how she sees life. She explains it perfectly in her post by saying, “Do you ever look at a photograph and think to yourself ‘there’s just something missing’? I like to think there’s a film drawn over my eyes that allows me to walk around and see life overlaid with illustrations.”

Individuality and good vibes is what this gal is all about and I can’t wait to introduce you to her! Continue Reading…

Morning

Morning! I’m usually awake by 7am. Not voluntarily of course, I’ll forget to put my phone on silent and the crazy world of emails starts heading my way as soon as the sun rises. If I poke my head up, this is literally what’s at the foot of my bed. Yep, my work station. Pretty funny actually, for the past few months I haven’t left my room to edit…..

Rad Livin’: Meet Cloe Lane

Saturday // September 27 // 2014

You know when you come across something that is so unique and creatively inspired, that you instantly know that it’s coming straight from someone’s heart? That’s exactly how I felt when I came across Cloe Lane’s cotton candy cart, Bon Puf.

Bon Puf is an organic, all-natural cotton candy cart that has attended its fair share of parties; everywhere from private gatherings to weddings to street fairs to Coachella. Cloe has come up with unique, tasty flavours like Mango Chili, Chai Tea and Honey Rose… (yum!) and she’s sharing how the idea first came about, and how she went about making it a reality.

Creating new, close relationships

Sunday // September 21 // 2014

When you’re looking to form new, authentically-rad relationships either in a new place, or in the area you’ve always been in, it can be tough to do so when you’re in your head about it. This is because when you’re searching for those relationships by using your head, you might be out doing things that don’t feel right to you, in hopes of meeting someone new and forming a close relationship with them.
