About Us

 

At SunnySide Shoppe, our mission is to celebrate the soft side of life. We create apparel that inspires mindfulness, encouraging you to enjoy the activities you love without the pressure of perfection. Through our designs we aim to remind everyone to slow down, relish in your simple pleasures, and embrace every sunny moment.

 

      As a self-diagnosed over-achiever, I dedicated years of my life to chasing the highest grades, the perfect job, and an idealized life script. Yet, after each milestone—graduations, “dream jobs”—I found fleeting happiness before setting my sights on the next achievement. I realized I was trapped in a perpetual checklist, delaying my happiness until I felt I had "earned" it.

       In 2022, I decided I couldn't wait any longer to embrace happiness. I embarked on a journey to rediscover the simple joys that had fueled my childhood. Through hobbies (old and new), and deliberately embracing imperfection, my mental health flourished in ways no meditation app or self-help book could replicate.

     Today, I proudly admit I don’t devour 30 books a year, some of my plants may not thrive, and mastering a round kick on my left leg remains a work in progress. And that's perfectly okay.

      At SunnySide Shoppe, we're committed to sharing this journey with the world. We encourage everyone to reconnect with their passions, not as a quest for perfection, but as a pathway to mindfulness and self-discovery. Through thoughtfully crafted apparel, we aim to inspire individuals to prioritize their well-being and find happiness in every mindful moment.

    Join us as we celebrate the beauty of imperfection, cultivate joy through hobbies, and embark on a collective journey toward a more mindful and fulfilling life.
