Hurricane Lowell hit Kaua'i and we are still without power and water on the island. The shop is open and your order will be packed with care, but shipping may take 2 weeks or more while things get back on their feet. Mahalo for your patience and aloha.
Reviews
Born and raised in the open landscape of Skåne, Sweden. Daughter of a Swedish mother and a Bajan father. "Sweden gives me an appreciation for the shifting experiences of the North. Darkness and light forever changing back and forth. Barbados gives me a love for the ocean, close-ness to nature and a helluva lot of cousins. I am currently living and working in French seaside town Biarritz.” “I try to bring a sense of wonder into my own life through my drawings. Illustration brings me to a place nestled between reality and dreams where I can let my imagination grow. In that place I feel meaningful, like the essence of being human is to be able to create."

Six year old Given and his family set out on a quest to follow the legend of the Big Fish. For years his father told him the tale as it was passed down from all the fathers before him.
Given and his family leave their little island of palm trees to follow the Big Fish’s trail across the seas. They meet beekeepers and snake dancers, sleep on sandy beaches and play on ice rocks. Given watches and learns for he knows he too would one day have to search for his own Big Fish.
This is a story of a unique family legacy come full circle. A story of finding home wherever you may be. Inspired by the feature film documentary called Given, this is based on the true and wild journey of surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin as they take their family to fulfill a calling handed down through generations to find freedom in surrender.

From the ʻohana
Real words from folks slowing down with us, across every jar, tee, and book we make. No filters, just honest aloha.
Hanalei Favorite
Great hat! Great color! Love the store & a great reminder to … slow yourself down ;). I get iced coffees almost daily on our yearly stays

Hat too big
We had the smaller version of this hat for our kid when he was under 2 years old. He outgrew it, so we went to the next size up, which I think says is for 18 months to 5 years. It’s huge, and the snap in the back seems to be off centered to make it even bigger. Design is great, but gonna be a long time before he can wear it.

Love my new cup
Great product. Love the sayings on the cup. Staff is very friendly. Maybe the company can come up with a cup that will fit in a car cup holder. That would be another purchase for sure.

Love these
Visited the shop in Kauai when we were there and took a jar home as a souvenir, it became our favorite, so now all of our cups are Slow Yourself Down jars. :)
