ARTISAN MARKETS
THIS PAST WEEKEND WE PARTICIPATED IN A SMALL MARKET THAT THEY HAVE ONE SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA. SO COOL... WE WERENT REALLY SURE WHAT TO EXPECT, WE HAD A FRIEND TELL US ABOUT IT. HE SAID IT WAS A LITTLE MARKET WHERE A FEW ARTISTS GET TOGETHER ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE A LITTLE SHOW. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING OUT SHOWS LIKE THIS, I AM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER, IN FACT A FRIEND OF MINE SAID THEY WERE STARTING TO HAVE THEM OVER IN BALI ALSO. AS A NEW SMALL CLOTHING BRAND IT WAS REALLY COOL TO GET TOGETHER WITH OTHER SMALL BUSINESS STARTERS, PEOPLE WHO TOOK THEIR PASSION AND MADE A BUSINESS OUT OF IT. IT WAS REALLY INSPIRING. WE ALSO MET A BUNCH OF REALLY COOL PEOPLE AND MADE NEW FRIENDS, TO HELP INSPIRE US TO KEEP DOING IT. HONESTLY, THE BEST PART OF SELLING IN MARKETS LIKE THIS, IS YOU GET TO MEET THE PEOPLE WHO BUY YOUR STUFF AND GET TO CHAT WITH THE REAL PEOPLE WHO ARE BACKING YOUR STUFF. IT WAS COOL TO SEE PEOPLE GET EXCITED ABOUT THE STUFF WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT. OVERALL MORAL TO THE STORY IS WHEN THEY SAY "SHOP LOCAL" I GET IT NOW, ITS RAD GO OUT AND MEET THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOUR STUFF, IT GIVES SO MUCH MORE MEANING TO THE THINGS YOU OWN WHEN THEY ALL HAVE A STORY AND FACE BEHIND THEM.
IF YOU ARE EVER IN SAN CLEMENTE YOU GOTTA LOOK UP theyurtsc.com AND FIND OUT WHEN THE SHOWS ARE CAUSE THERE ARE SOME TREASURES IN THERE, FROM JEWELRY TO ESSENTIAL OILS TO AWESOME CANDLES AND CLOCKS, TO VEGAN SNACKS EVEN SOME REALLY COOL CLOTHING. AND PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY AND SAY HELLO TO US, CAUSE WE LOVE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE.
MINDS EYE MISSION STATEMENT - OUR MOTTO
WE DRAW OUR INSPIRADO FROM THE INDIGENOUS CULTURES FROM HISTORY. THESE GROUPS HAD LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT, IN PERFECT HARMONY. SOMETHING WE FEEL IS MISSING IN TODAYS CULTURE. PEOPLE WHO TAPPED INTO HIGHER POWERS. YOU DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE, YOU NEED VISION.
OUR BUSINESS IS BASED ON THESE PRINCIPLES.
THIS WILL BE OUR WAY,
THE MINDS EYE WAY.....
MINDS EYE IMAGERY - SOME OF OUR TEE IMAGERY INFO
THE OTHER LOGO WE USE WE CALL THE HIMALAYA, IT IS THE WORD MINDS EYE WRITTEN OUT IN A SANSKRIT TYPE FONT, SANSKRIT IS A VERY OLD EASTERN LANGUAGE USED MOSTLY IN INDIA. WE USE THIS BECAUSE WE BEING FROM THE WEST WANTED TO USE SOME IMAGERY FROM THE EAST TO BALANCE US OUT, AND WE JUST LIKED HOW IT LOOKED.
THE INDIAN CHIEF SHIRT IS CALLED THE CHIEFTON (KEEP IN MIND WE ARE NOT SPEELING CHAMPS, AND SOMETIMES LIKE HOW WORD LOOKS), THE SYMBOL OF THE INDIAN CHIEF WE USE TO TRY AND SHOW A STRONG IMAGE OF NATIVE AMERICANS, STRONG, YET PEACEFUL, THE NATIVE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS A GREAT ONE WE THINK, THEY DID THEIR BEST TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS OUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION, TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH ONES ENVIRONMENT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL. DO YOUR BEST TO NOT WASTE, TO SHARE, TO CARE, TO LOVE, TO FEEL. ITS NOT EASY, BUT EVERYONE NEEDS GOALS, AND NOT ALL GOALS HAVE TO BE BASED ON THE OUTSIDE THINGS.
THE BUDDHA TEE IS WHAT EVERYONE CALLS IT, WE CALL IT OM, THIS IMAGE IS NOT THE BUDDHA SIDDHARHTA GAUTAMA, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BUDDHAS IN HISTORY, BUDDHA MEANS AWAKENED OR ENLIGHTENED ONE, WHO KNOWS YOU MAY BE A BUDDHA.
DOUBLE DORJE - OUR LOGO IS CALLED A DOUBLE DORJA, PRONOUNCED DORJA
THE LOGO WE USED IS A SYMBOL CALLED A DOUBLE DORJE, A DORJE IS THE TIBETAN WORD FOR LIGHTNING BOLT, AND THE DOUBLE DORJE IS CROSSED LIGHTNING BOLTS, MEANING TOTALLY CLARITY. THE TOTAL CLARITY YOU GET WHEN YOU ARE TRULY SEEING WITH YOUR MINDS EYE. WHAT IS THE MINDS EYE? WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOUR EYES ARE CLOSED. WE ALL NEED TO START SEEING WHAT WE BELIEVE , NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. MANIFEST YOUR OWN TRIP...
WE HAVE REALLY BEEN FEELING WHITE TEES LATELY, YOU DONT SEE ENOUGH AROUND, A WHITE TEE IS THE CLASSIC, CLEAN YET BAD ASS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
EVERYONE IS MAKING COLORED TEES, AND DONT GET ME WRONG, I LOVE COLORED TEES, BUT THE WHITE IS A STATEMENT, DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

BALI BAGUS
Ogoh-ogoh parades for Nyepi
Nyepi is a day of self reflection, a day of silence. No one is allowed outdoors or to make any noise or use electricity. To avoid missing a day of surf, we decided to head to Medewi, a small Muslim community in Northern Bali, where we can stay and walk to the beach to surf. We were stoked to catch a local schools Ogoh-ogoh parade earlier in the day!
The Bali Experience
After the first trip, we fell in love with Bali. We recently returned from our second, month long adventure there. Our trip happened to overlap with a few Hindu holidays, the first was Tumpek Landep, a holiday where you bless your cars, scooters, and electronics to insure safe travels and use for the year ahead.
