items we think you're going to love. We're kicking off the collection with a

beautiful wiser than made cross-body tote bag. You can never have enough tote bags. Go ahead order 10. You'll think, oh, that's enough, but it's not. You'll

Levenada. I am a hiker. I'm somebody who likes to get out on a trail in the hills and the mountains or along the beach just out in nature.

It's an activity that brings me an enormous amount of solace of joy, peace of mind.

Hiking can really change my mindset.

In fact, as I'm saying this, I realize

I've really got to get out there right now and move,

which I'm going to do right after we record.

There is something about walking and looking at the natural world and feeling and smelling

the world around me.

Smells are important to me too. My memories are really full of

smells for real. Where I live in California we have seasons believe it or not. They're

subtle but we do have seasons that change and the smells in the air from the

trees and all the shrubbery the chaparral it changes from season to season for

month to month and I love that the pittidesporum, the Cinothus, the Jasmine that blooms at night. I mean one night you can't

smell it at all and then the next night it's almost dizzyingly sweet. The orange blossoms, which just are California to me,

the eucalyptus and the boxwood. Ugh! Well, I can't smell boxwood without thinking of my dad, my dear dad.

These smells, you know, they wax in wane from month to month from year to year, but they're

all so wonderful.
