The Good Stuff
29 Jun 2010 ~ Categories: blog • wellness
So if you are buying things anyway, why not get the good stuff, right? I do fancy a “less is more” way of living in the world, but if you are going to buy, I suggest it be the good stuff. In my book, at least a little of a good thing is way better than mountains of crap or even a mole hill of the mediocre. In that case, at IO we scour our sources, handpick, hand-design and then hand it over to you for sale in the Shop at IO on Fillmore Street. Take a gander next time you are in the market. It’s special stuff.
Limited edition IO MANTRA apparel, yoga utility totes, and Saipua handmade soaps and candles are among the latest specialty additions.
The limited edition IO MANTRA t-shirt series is a tribute to wearing your wellness. Locally printed, the tees feature IO signature mantras of “PRACTICE SILENCE” and “STRETCH YOUR MIND. MOVE YOUR BODY. FEEL YOUR SKIN.” The tees, created under the direction of my good friend and creative visionary, Matt Dick, come in natural vintage white, heather linen and black. Good fit and very soft.
The IO Yoga Tote redefines yoga bag standards – on and off the mat. Made from a natural heavy canvas, the yoga tote is a completely posture-conscious bag and for the first time, shifts the weight from the shoulder to the hand. The hand-carried yoga utility tote brings simplicity and transformation to the wellness practice.
Saipua, derived from the Finnish word for soap, is now available at IO with its handmade soaps and candles. The soaps, carefully crafted in small batches, use food-grade vegetable oils, butters, herbs and extracts. Each bar is hand cut, dried and cured in the Saipua family-owned workshop. The 100% soy candles are beautifully packaged and each scent has a limited edition of 250.
Also available are very special local products from Juniper Ridge, fine purveyor of incenses, smudge sticks and sachet. These items are favorites of mine for scenting your space and for energetic room clearings. Yes, you can do it just like the shamans do!
That’s all for now from consumer headquarters.
Good stuff,
Amy
