Be Free, Be You

"Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.”
 -Mohandas Gandhi

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality."
-John Lennon

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."

Creating the Perfect Hippie Room


1) Door beads
2) Incense burners


3) A funky wall tapestry
4) Blacklight poster & blacklight

5) Wire spool table

5) A fuzzy shag rug
6) Funky house plants
7) A tie-dye blanket



The biggest part of creating an awesome hippie room is making it your own. Look everywhere for inspiration- art, movies, pictures on Google, etc. Don't make your room look like what you think a hippie room is supposed to look like. Do what feels right and natural.


Life is No Lie

It seems like everyone expects their life to happen in a specific, organized manner. However, this never happens. What does a happy life look like? Is there a certain feeling? Does it look a certain way? Maybe the key to happiness is the odd and the unconventional. Maybe happiness is not having plans and order. Embrace what is different and out of place. Think of life as a journey with unexpected turns with opportunites that can make you happier than you could have ever imagined.

Hippie Freedoms

{I love this beaded hair string and detailed eyes}



{There is something strangely fasinating about hundreds of free people together}

{I love the vintage/revolutionary feel of this photo}


{Being free is about living through your soul and speaking through your actions}

Do what you love, love what you do

We have the freedom to do exactly what we want to do, so why not do it? Life is a journey, not a destination. Simply waiting on life to happen accomplishes nothing. Feel the wind in your hair, the warm sunset on your skin, and follow what inspires us and creates true happiness. I think that we all have a specific journey, and it's up to us to find it. I'm inspired by hippies, but musicians, and by nature. What inspires you?
