Throughout Brandi’s creative journey, she admits that inspiration and motivation have always come quite easily to her, particularly this past year. With the weight of a global pandemic on all of our shoulders, Brandi has accomplished one of the biggest feats. Keeping inner peace. Staying present.

Staying inspired and motivated can be one of the hardest things to do as a creative. I know for me, it even get’s annoying at times–the amount of positivity that can be thrown in your face. So for this year, I’ve put together and designed a few of what I would consider ‘non-annoyance’ quotes for 2021 to get that little fire under your ass to be lit a little brighter!

The name Two Birds Eco Shop has more to it than you might think. Autumn once told me that her shop’s name stems from the well known phrase ‘to kill two birds with one stone’, her shop’s purpose is founded on the value that when you buy something from her shop, you are setting two momentums with one action. One of them being, you are purchasing a product that you love. The other being, proceeds from that purchase go to a greater cause. From saving the turtles and oceans, to protecting women’s rights, and more.

Action creates clarity. The quote that has been most essential to Beth’s journey this past year. Like most creatives, Beth has had artistic outlets for as long as she can remember, but her art was always for her. How many of us can remember the first time we picked up a paintbrush, marker, pen, crayon, and drew something we were proud to show someone for the first time? Sometimes we forget that that proudness was coming from ourselves, that excitement we had was for ourselves.
