Why Community Matters Just As Much As Good Activewear

Spoiler: Both made us feel amazing this weekend.

This past Saturday, we had the absolute pleasure of attending the Happier Festival — a heartwarming event right in the heart of our local community. And honestly? We’re still smiling.

The energy was unmatched, the vibes were high, and the sun (shockingly) stayed out all day. But what really made it special? The people.

We spent the day connecting with locals, chatting with other small businesses, and sharing what our brand is all about. It wasn’t just about activewear — it was about movement, connection, and showing up as your best self (leggings and all).

You said it first: “I can’t believe how soft this is.”

We heard this sentence more times than we could count — and every time, it made our day.

Shoppers couldn’t believe how buttery-soft our fabrics felt, and the number of compliments we got on fit and quality? We’re still blushing. It’s one thing to post about it online, but hearing your feedback IRL? Game-changer.

From feeling the fabric for the first time, to asking about the design process, to simply vibing with our aesthetic — the love was real.

Small business, big love.

We also had the chance to chat with so many incredible small business owners doing amazing things in our area — and let’s just say, the local scene is full of talent. From sustainable skincare to handmade candles and ethically sourced treats, we felt proud to be part of something that celebrates local creativity and connection.
