✨Changemakers✨

It’s the last day of of March, which means it’s the last day of Women’s History Month. I had the opportunity to spend some time with some amazing ladies this month - from collaborations, to speaking engagements, to celebrating, to thinking about how to help other women, to supporting and being supported in return, remembering women who have gone before us (love you mom 🦋), and just all things womanhood. (Not everyone I had the honor of spending time with is featured in this post because we were too in the moment and forgot to take pics, but the moments with you were all as special! ❤️)

It’s really astonishing how much we as individual women can accomplish but even more greatness, beauty and change is achieved when we work together; how we lift each other up, hold and heal each other’s hearts, inspire each other, encourage and champion each other’s voices.

Here’s to women, all day, everyday! ✨👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️✨

✨Hawak Kita✨

The number of selfies I subject to is😅…can’t blame me for wanting to always document one of the greatest friendships of my lifetime (especially during this chapter known as small business life where if you’re doing things alone can feel a bit 😵‍💫).

I can say I’ve found a true support and sisterhood, someone who’s there rooting you on through the wins and the losses, the good times and the sad (and it’s not just in business at this point)... It’s been said that finding true/meaningful friendships in adulthood is hard to come by - if anything your circles get smaller - so when you happen to come by a relationship this special, you hold onto it tightly. Hence the title of this post and the name of our recent bracelet collab: “Hawak” which in Filipino means “hold”. 💗

We’ve done a number of product collabs, workshops and pop-up events together & I’m so glad to say it’s not slowing down anytime soon.

We’re ending March, women’s history month, together Fashion Valley on 3/21 from 12p-4p.

Then come April you’ll find us here together:
One Paseo
4/4 from 12p - 4p

UTC
4/11 from 12p - 4p

Hope to see you all soon at any one of these events…and we’re thinking of doing another collab workshop soon too. Who wants to join in on these selfies?😅 👯‍♀️❤️

Oh and we will have new batches of our Hawak bracelets and Kwento bag charms available at all of these events, so if you’ve been eyeing them, you know where to find ‘em! 💍👜✨💝

I’m so happy (as well as a bit nervous, but mostly excited) to be returning to my high school Alma Mater, for the first time in 25 years this Friday, as a speaker and marketplace vendor! And I will be joining some amazing members of the community as well as seeing the younger generation of great women in the month honoring women, is even more moving. 💗

All are welcome! Join me at 12th Annual Women’s Symposium on March 13th! This year’s theme of “Amplifying Voices,”
invites guests to immerse themselves in a day of inspiration and discovery while asking, “How can we, as
individuals and as a network of women, harness our unique gifts, talents, and wisdom to create a brighter
future for our local and global communities?” Register today (closes on 3/11/26 at 12pm PST): aolpsymposium.org.

✨The Standouts✨

Thanks to , So Niice had the opportunity to be part of the conference at the US Grant. It was a beautiful event put on for some standouts of the community…teachers. Teachers who pour so much into the community, developing humans, imparting their wisdom and receive in return receive so much less than they deserve. So this event in honor of them was just the tip of the iceberg of how teachers can be given a fraction of appreciation owed towards what they do.

One teacher came by and said “thank you sooo much for being here” with so much genuine gratitude. Another came by and apologized for asking questions of my pieces. To both my responses were “thank YOU for all that you do. It’s an honor to be here amongst such fine educators” and “please never apologize for taking up space, being curious, and being a good person making an impact!”

I loved my interactions and connecting with people who understand the meaning behind “trinkets” because they are the very people who put so much meaning into their everyday craft of sharing knowledge with everyone.

✨Two Hearts✨

When two hearts come together they eventually start beating on the same lifeline. This lifeline is known as love. Romantic love, platonic love, familial love…no matter the kind of love, it always involves at least two hearts connecting and creating a strong bond.

Happy love day to all. It’s later into the hours of the holiday but really, love day is everyday. 💕

✨Anchor✨

Storytime…I’ve been missing my mom, can’t believe it’s almost a month since she’s been gone. However, she’s been reincarnated into a yellow butterfly for me (in Filipino culture, when a loved one passes, they come back as a butterfly 🦋).

She showed up immediately the day after she passed while I was on a walk with my husband and after my first encounters with her (she showed up 3x!), I found her wedding rings and her favorite jade ring that I was worried had gone missing since she had basically lived in three places the last years of her life. After that day, I’ve been seeing yellow butterflies around my neighborhood and in different parts of town when I’ve been missing her most. As in, tears in my eyes and when I look up a flash of yellow fluttering around brings some hope and happiness. And are butterflies known to fly into busy streets? Usually I’ve see them around sidewalks and bushes, but there was a day where exactly this instance on a busy street happened. And on that day, after a butterfly flew across my windshield as I was driving, I saw multiple yellow butterflies along the busy street’s sidewalk, then I was basically lead to coming across this green stone in a local store I had not previously known about even after many years of looking for local places to purchase supplies from.

This serpentine stone was unexpectedly gifted to me by a kind store owner after I was looking for some jade (mom’s favorite gem) and it’s said to be used for grounding, protection, emotional healing and balance, transformation and rebirth - all things I think are relevant to coping with grief. I was inspired to design this particular necklace, influenced by its color richness similar to jade, and the wonder with how I was lead to it - it makes me think of my mom and how her presence will always be a guide/an anchor for everything I do and how, no matter if she’s physically here or not, she’s always by my side. 💚

I added two little emeralds to represent myself and my brother, with the gold bead to represent my dad, who was her golden love, to hold her safely.

Call it superstitious, but I like to find comfort and hope in little signs. Do you?✨

✨A Moment for Zen✨

In this case, taking a moment to honor my mother, Zenaida - often described as cute and charming, but after talking to so many loved ones after her passing, her puzzle of life started to come together even more. To those who knew her in her younger years she was described as beautiful (the desire of many gentlemen callers, but whose heart only belonged to my dad), gentle and intelligent, an older sister, someone who always listened to them and someone they could always laugh and cry with. To others, she influenced their world by way of teaching them piano and bringing the gift of beautiful music into their world. To me, she was my mom, simultaneously a source of frustration and sassiness at times typical to any mother daughter relationship, but after so much reflection, she was the one I could always count on for a hand to hold and who would easily forgive and rub any pain away. She was a source of love and though in her later years she forgot a lot of details of her own life, there was no forgetting how much she loved her family and just wanted us to be around.

She was deeply feeling and the good parts of what she felt were passed down to me, which I turned into So Niice and how I choose to live out my own life and how I care for my relationships.

She was a source of inspiration for quite a few pieces 💚 (jade will always remind me of her with her inseparable jade ring; the Zen bracelet was named after her and the Ako necklace was a tribute to my roots and what values I hold most important - which I learned from her, and the Holding On Hair Tie is also a special story for another time) and she will continue to be so with reflections on lessons I have learned from her.

A part of me feels a little lost now, but I’ve been finding signs, one way or another, that she’s always with me. 🦋💛

I love you mom.
