Modern Hippie Inspiration
Hop in, there’s room in the van!
As kids, my brother and I rode through the mountains in a unicorn-decorated van, tagging along while our parents visited artists from their gallery and practiced mindfulness at Unitarian retreats. I didn’t know it then, but those ADVENTURES shaped how I see the world.
A modern hippie-inspired blog, Hippie Chick shares articles about art, mindfulness, eco-living, and creative insights for open-minded readers.
