While our favorite spots to eat, drink and meet are closed right now for dining in, they’ve created take-out menus so they can keep their kitchens operating. They employ a whole lot of people in our community (my son included) from chefs to servers who need to keep things going. Let’s support them by ordering to go and we’ll all be together again when this is over 🥘 #supportsmallbusiness #saveourrestaurants #stayhome but #eatlocal #venicebeach #california

#Repost @mollusksurfshop with @get_repost ・・・ In order to help keep our community safe, we will be closing our shops tomorrow until further notice. Our online store will remain open. Also, limited staff will be working at each location, and we can accommodate pickups for purchases during this time. Until then, please check back here for updates and palate cleansers ✌️ — 📷: @mademoiselle__bianca #supportsmallbusiness #shopwhilesheltering

A small business was once just an idea. An inspiration for a product or service, and a drive to go all the way with it. When I met Emily she was working at a shop in Venice and making these little bags as a side hustle. She was doing eco-friendly before it was a hashtag and I loved watching that little hustle grow and grow. Still small production with an eye for detail, @vaalbaradesigns bags are still one of my favorites. Her little clutch bags are perfect for essentials right now when quickly running out to grab a few things for your family. Let’s keep her going✨ #supportsmallbusiness #shopwhilesheltering

“Put your hair in a bun, drink some coffee and handle it.” Whoa. Whoever wrote this meme could not have imagined how much we’d be “handling” right now. Am I right ladies? @ca_makes is one of those essential little forever items, so simple, so useful. Made by hand in Santa Barbara. Order directly from Chelsea’s website. #supportsmallbusiness #essentials #stayhome #shopwhilesheltering

🌿Indoor plants have always been a thing for me. Today I’m ever so grateful for my overgrown jungle as it’s giving us all breath of freshness (they naturally clean the air) while we’re sheltering in place and our access to nature is so limited. Aside from transforming your living spaces, research suggests houseplants can significantly boost your mood and reduce stress, and we could all use some of that right now x 100 🌱 While toilet paper and fresh eggs are worth their weight in gold these days, I’ve been tossing a plant (even a cheap one, anything green) into my cart each time I run out for more provisions. Less people right now, more plants🌿 I’d love to know what you’re doing to get your space ready for staying in. DM me your pics for stories to share- #stayhome #shelterinplace #thegoldenstatehome

#Repost @latesundayafternoon with @get_repost ・・・ Dear Snuggle Tribe,⁠ ⁠ Why do we even call it the Snuggle Tribe? What is LSA Explorers Club? How come we have a billboard that says - Recruitment Center for Heart-Minded People?⁠ ⁠ As a small business in this world, we choose to exist as a beacon of what could be. Everyday, we wake up and come to work with happiness and joy in our hearts, knowing that we choose to create what we want in our lives. Late Sunday Afternoon is a company yes, but more so we are a movement. The goal of our movement is to be a light in the world that is filled with fear, greed, and egoism.⁠ ⁠ If you are reading this, you likely have had an experience with one of us at our shop or at a craft show. You might have been gifted, hugged, seen, or sold something that made you feel connected to your practice of seeing and growing into your higher self. As the world begins to repeat old trauma patterns yet again, I am asking all of you in the Snuggle Tribe to unite in a collective daily meditation. This meditation has everything to do with strengthening your inner practice of being the light you wish to receive in the world. May we all be able during the good times and bad times to stay clear about our loving awareness: “I am loving awareness”. What we are not changing we are choosing.⁠ ⁠ Remember to call in your ancestors, who survived and worked so hard to help you get where you are. Be present to all the other people in the world who struggle daily to live. Guide your inner thoughts into affirmations about what you know deep down inside your heart. Live by the Snuggle Tribe way: Kindness is Magic.⁠ ⁠ Most of all, be real men and women who act as sages to our communities wherever you are. Guide your community, relatives, and lead by example. This embodiment is yours to do the spiritual inner work. Inner Love will bring you to Outer Peace no matter what is happening in your life. Whether today or on your last day.⁠ ⁠ Amen⁠ ⁠ #snuggletribe #kindnessismagic #supportsmallbusiness #shopwhilesheltering
