Simplify for happiness

You may noticed that here at Solz we like to keep things simple - I think the design of our slippers illustrates that.
So here are a few ideas to think about if you are looking to simplify your life - try them they really can help.
I'm really into being mindful - when I remember that is
So slip on some Solz and simplify

1. Calm the waters. Take it nice and slow. Anything is doable when you break it down into tiny steps. Try not to overwhelm yourself by looking too far ahead. You don’t need to do everything right now. Slow yourself down and do one thing at a time.
2. Sift through the sand. Try not to think so much. Our mind likes to run rampant, creating negative stories about every little thing. Be aware of your random thoughts. Manage the mind chatter by sifting out those thoughts that cause you worry and suffering.
3. Nurture your palm tree. Connect with your heart. Listen to your innermost needs and desires – the simple things that bring you joy. Let some of the more complex, stress inducing activities go. Be fully present and intimately engaged with everything you do.
4. Harness the winds. Promote balance and harmony. Accept that life isn’t always fair or the way we want it to be. Be gentle with yourself. Be honest, respectful and compassionate with others. Don’t sweat the little things . . . or the big things. Celebrate life as it comes.
5. Let your light shine. Don’t just live on the surface, barely aware of what’s going on around and inside of you. Live deliberately – awake and alive. Consciously choose to notice and appreciate the beauty all around you. Fully experience one moment at a time.

We are loved at babyology

Solz got another great review from popular kids blog babyology - this time for our kids range of Solz slippers 

http://babyology.com.au/fashion/ten-best-slippers-and-socks.html

The super snuggly House Shoes come in sizes to fit kids aged from three to eight, and they look so comfortable I’d like a pair myself. Their foam sole means they’re easily squished up to take anywhere and their stretchy cotton finish makes them comfortable even if little feet have a growth spurt! You can get your kids’ feet into a pair for $34.95.

Ethical manufacturing

Many of us would have been made aware of some shocking treatment textile workers in countries like Banglandesh. At Solz we dont have a problem with manufacturing taking place in developing countries, we acknowledge that it can be beneficial to all involved. What isn't okay is the unethical practices that are sanctioned or even demanded by large companies. If you can buy a pair of slippers at Kmart , Coles or target for $5 you really need to ask the question: who has suffered in making this possible? The answer is likely to a textile worker in Banglandesh, who if paid fairly would have the opportunity to improve their life.
Food for thought, huh! 
 We are all about ethical and Eco-friendly design here at Solz
We understand that it is necessary to have clothing and other Products made in developing countries and that it can be advantageous to both parties. But let's look at the options and I force ethical standards

Merino - what's all the fuss about?

Many people now have at least one clothing item made from Merino fibre, whether it be socks, tops or if you are lucky a pair of Solz slippers. Along with my Solz I have a cople of long sleeve tops to keep me warm in winter. So why Merino? Number one it is a natural fibre coming from the back of the merino breed of sheep known for the quality of their wool. Fibre technology has allowed this wool to be transformed into a lightweight but breathable fabric that when blended with spandex gives it great stretch capabilities. It's a washable fibre! We recommend hand washing of merino Solz, but they can be thrown in the washing machine.

A few things to know about Solz

Here at Solz we know that there is not one slipper that can suit everyone, some people are just diehard ugg fans or love a chunky slipper. If you are one of those people looking for a more elegant solution we can help.
Solz are all about comfort combined with a lightweight approach to keeping your feet warm and clean. So definitely not chunky, but can you throw your chunky slippers in your carry on luggage when travelling? Can you throw those same slippers in the wash to revive them, making them as good as new?
That's what Solz can do - a fine alternative don't you think?
