"I like to make things that don’t exist but should, not for the sake of creating more stuff in the world but to serve unmet needs – the consumers that have long been ignored."

9 Beautiful Things About Spring

Here's what we're most looking forward to in the season of rebirth. 

Open to Mystery

We are experiencing the unfolding of our lives in a new way.  Meditation teacher and author, Sebene Selassie, guides us on how to open to a forgotten energy: mystery.

Sending Love

No one's love will feel quite as perfect as the love you get from yourself. 

THE RALLIER

Stephanie Brown

"The minute-to-minute excitement of the ER, the camaraderie among the staff, and the messy, beautiful, crazy ways that we are all human are among the reasons why I keep going back everyday."

January Bookshelf

It feels like a time for rest, retreat and deep nurturing.  A time that's quiet and for ourselves.  A time for a good book.

Happy Holidays!

May you find space and celebration for your whole self this holiday season, no part left out.

The Checklist

Easing into Fall

Transitioning into Fall is different in the midst of a global pandemic.  It’s a weird feeling to let go of where you were when you can’t see where you’re going.  It’s also when getting to know yourself might be the most interesting.  

THE RALLIER

Carly Martin

"It makes me feel so much less anxious during the day now that people aren't commuting to and from work, hustling around, trying to cram in as many possible work hours in a day.  Doing a creative job will never perfectly fit between the 9-5 hours (I've tried)"

THE RALLIER

Sebene Selassie

"I want people to be able to bring their full selves to spiritual practice: their race/ethnicity, cultures, joys, sorrows…"

Our Farmers Market Guide

The farmers market has become a beloved place for me this summer in quarantine.  Somewhere to go, someplace to be!  With every trip, I understand more and more about how our food is grown and how these practices connect us so deeply to the people and land around us.

THE RALLIER

Rachel Brown

"I love to give personalized gifts, but one that will always stand out for me is a sweater I knit for my grandmother. Living on different continents, and with a considerable language barrier, we always found ways to express our love for each other that didn’t rely on words."

The Checklist

Watercolor

Water has a long history of healing.  Think of all the ways that water makes us feel better.  It's no surprise that watercoloring has a similarly restorative effect.  Here is a watercolor exercise that anyone can do brought to you by Case for Making (my favorite source for watercolors!) 

Race and Rallier

We must ensure that everyone in our community not only sees themselves in images, but also knows that they are represented at every level of the business.

The Checklist

Buy Black

I believe so strongly in the power of where we spend our money.  It's one of the reasons this platform exists.  It is essential that we buy from Black women.  Here's our roundup of beautiful, mindfully made products, services, books and art by Black women.    

The Checklist

Femme to Table

Our time in quarantine has given me the headspace to seriously explore where our food comes from.  Here is our roundup of women farmers, grocers and food entrepreneurs, all supportive of systems that get our vote. 

THE RALLIER

Sasha Martinez

"Being a mother is more than one full time job and yet at times it doesn't feel like you're contributing enough.  I'm not sure if it is my personal ambition fighting me or the societal norm of being "just" a mom."

Mother's Day Gift Guide

It's a different kind of Mother's Day this year.  The spread of covid-19 is delivering an outpouring of loss, discomfort and messages.  Among them is our reverberating need for mother energy, both individually and collectively.

THE RALLIER

Margaret Choo

"It’s ok to let go of even the most well-prepared, well-thought out plan if it’s not the right one for you."

Rachel Schwartzmann

"But if I've learned anything in my work, there's always more to one's story."
