Irish Blessing
May you always be blessed with walls for the wind.
A roof for the rain.
A warm cup of tea by the fire.
Laughter to cheer you.
Those you love near you.
And all that your heart might desire.

I R E N A
pronounced, ee-ray-nuh
whether at starbucks or a restaurant, when asked for my name, a part of me has always wanted to just make up a common everyday name. a name that people would get immediately, know how to spell, say and write. however, my conscious takes over me and i end up saying my real name, because somehow i feel like they’ll know i’m lying if i say anything other than irena. even though, clearly they wouldn’t and probably don’t even care.
but i guess in the back of my mind, i do. i care. i like my name and i’m proud of it. it’s unique like me, and plus, why should i pretend i’m someone else?
so even though my starbucks orders will always end up looking like this 98% percent of the time…
once in a blue moon, i meet someone that falls in the 2% category and gets it juuuust right! without having to ask me twice or how to spell it, they scribble my name down and when i grab for my coffee and see it spelled correctly, i just smile. real big. yay!!!

yoga wednesday… one of my favorite days of the week.
when i was living on the westside, i discovered a cozy little yoga studio in venice called, studio surya yoga. since discovering this studio and one of my favorite yoga instructors, mary beth larue, i’ve made a point to make wednesday nights, my in studio yoga practice.
i never schedule any meetings or appointments wednesday evenings. i turn down any and all dinner invitations unless they are willing to go to yoga with me first or unless they are willing to meet me after class. i guess you can say it’s what i’ve designated on my calendar as my “me time.”
and although, i can’t make it out to the studio as often as i like now that i live in the south bay area, thankfully i can still practice on a regular basis at home, via yogis anonymous, with mary beth, online, at anytime, from anywhere!
since it’s always more fun to share things we love, i thought i’d share with you all a 15-day free trial period. just enter this coupon code: irenaong3072 when you sign up.
enjoy and namaste!
i worked on some fun custom simplewear designs this past week. one was for an expecting mom who refers to her baby girl as “sprout.”
and the second is for a dad expecting his very first son. this dad is also known as, “Mr. RaRa The Great,” which was fitting to use his logo and make a “Little RaRa The Great” onesie for his soon to be little guy.
contact me if you’re interested in creating a custom onesie for your little one or as a gift for someone you know.
