Title: Love as an Act of Rebellion: Creating Peace When the World is Loud
Hey fam!!! It’s almost February 1st. We blinked and January is gone.
We know this month is usually plastered with hearts and pressure to perform "perfect love." But if you’ve been rolling with us for a while—since back in 2013 when we started making seaglass art here in South Jersey—you know we aren’t about "perfect." We know life can be tricky.
Let's be real, not all vibes are good. The world right now feels like a lot of "too much." It’s loud, it’s divisive, and frankly, it’s exhausting.
When I’m out there working hand in hand with Mother Nature, finding hidden treasures that were once thrown away and forgotten, it always reminds me that beautiful things can come from rough waters. We take those pieces and give them a stage, hoping that when they land in your home, they are loved fiercely and give you the strength to keep going that day.
This month, let's focus on spreading that contagious peace to the people who anchor us when the waves get high.
VALENTINE's For your Ride-or-Die: If you’re celebrating deep, enduring love—the kind that has weathered storms—check out our Romance Collection. It’s not about flashy gestures; it’s about acknowledging the person who is on your side.
GALENTINE's For your Chosen Family: Sometimes the biggest love stories are our friendships. For your people—the empathy people, the ones who get it when you say you just can't do it today—browse our Friendship Collection. Send them a little reminder that they aren't alone.
CALMING MIND's For Sanity in the Chaos: The person who needs the most love is you. If you feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water, our Inspiration and Encouragement Collection is designed specifically for "sanity in chaos." It’s a simple visual cue to remember you are enough.
We are overwhelmingly thankful every day that we get to create a little bit of joy in this wild world. We can’t change everything, but maybe one of our pictures gives someone the feeling of love they needed to keep going.
We are on each other's sides. Everyone deserves love and kindness. Let's spread some this month.
We love you more than you know! Xoxo.
