Headed to Leucadia this summer? 🌊 We’ve got so much more to offer than just our beautiful beaches. Check out our hyper local neighborhood guide - featuring our Leucadia, California favorite small businesses and haunts. Eat, drink, browse, wander. However you spend your day after the beach is up to you 😉 Kind people are our kinda people - won’t you support some of our friends? ♥️ I truly love our little beach town so much - small businesses are still out here bringing the funk and the community to Leucadia.

A few 🌈 colorful shots 🌈 of the store recently - I took them as a sort of quiet vindication following my son informing his teacher that his mom’s shop sells “lots of tan stuff”. And yes, we’ve got tan stuff. But we’re also really! big! fans! of color. So stop by and see what sort of colorful 🍉 🍊 🦋🐠🌹🌞 things we’re into right now 😉

What else is new? Well, I’ve personally been deep in graduation season, seeking out cozy sweaters for cold May gray nights (while simultaneously enjoying the first haul from our “summer” garden) and planning summer hiking. Jo is enjoying wedding planning and having her dude just around the corner at . Ava is preparing for a big monthlong adventure to Vietnam and Nancy will be back filling in (yay!!). Diana is planning lots of fun workshops for summer (check out our Events page) and Katie will be hanging out at the shop and no doubt simultaneously planning her next climbing trip. Kellie may even show up as a surprise guest! Anywho. Wishing you well in your corner of the world from ours here in Leucadia. Hope to catch you around somewhere colorful this summer. X Heidi

I truly have empathy for idiots. I’ve been one, myself. Most of us have behaved idiotically, from time to time, if we are honest with ourselves. Empathy is wisdom, and it certainly encourages kindness, but it does not necessitate acceptance of unkind and morally corrupt ideals. So, I empathize with the fact that you’ve been propagandized, that our public education system did not teach us truth or even how to discern it. I empathize with the fact that your schools were also underfunded in lieu of the military industrial complex, that your school didn’t have enough money to buy you the books the Rockefellers said wouldn’t make you better thinkers, but would make you better workers 😉 But! I’m not going to accept your idiocy, and I hope you would do the same for me. I lament the fact that at my niece’s high school graduation they stated their school had three goals, the three e’s: enlistment, employment or further education. We happily prepare our children to blindly march off to war, to accept trillions of dollars of propaganda, to pledge allegiance to a government that regularly breaks international law. We allow the system to target historically underprivileged and marginalized community members for recruitment, we reward those who sign them up for this. When they come home - broken, sick and traumatized we leave them on the streets and avert our eyes. I don’t blame the idiots, I blame the system. It’s all connected. We’re all connected. Time to cure the cancer for *all of us*.
