What's your vibe? Founder Steph and a few from her "tribe"...
A Lightbulb Moment That Created A Lifestyle
I started my brand, Have Some Fun Today, 3-and-half-years ago, inspired by something my late father always said. I’ve created an entire company from those four words; a company about positivity, finding joy and being mindful everyday. I took that sweet sentiment my father said to me, and anyway else as they would leave his presence, “Have some fun today” and created a mantra for my life and a lifestyle brand that reinforces living and appreciating life.
And as I began this journey to building a brand and creating this business, I’ve tried to live that mindset and that mantra. Last week in the blog, I shared how my challenges with chronic pain have made that more difficult some days. But I truly have tried to embody what I think Have Some Fun Today really means and what it stands for.
Your Vibe Really Does Attract Your Tribe
The beautiful thing I’ve encountered over the last three years are all the incredible people who have taken HSFT and made it their own. And they’ve embodied the HSFT mindset and it means something a little different to everyone. It’s connected me to all these amazing people and truly created a community. Many of them have become friends. And what I’ve realized as the path continues for me and HSFT, is that this grassroots company I started has set the tone for my vibe. And so yeah, my vibe has attracted my tribe.
And oh what a tribe! From CEO’s to artists, to Moms and models, and every beautiful thing in between. What an eclectic, eccentric and fantastic tribe I’ve watched emerge and circle around my “brand with soul.” Have Some Fun Today has connected me to some of the most interesting people I’ve ever met.
What You Get Is What You Give
The Law of Attraction is pretty simple. What you think, feel, speak, and otherwise generate, whether from your mouth or from your brain, is what you are putting out into the universe. And the universe will respond by bringing you more of the same. So, like attracts like. Negativity brings more negativity. And positivity, well, you get the idea.
It’s never been more clear to me at this place in my life that I create and control my happiness. Living the HSFT mantra and the brand that I created has brought me to a deeper place of understanding about really being present and mindful enough every day to enjoy and be grateful.
For me, it has proved to be powerful and palpable. And a little bit magical. And that’s been the beauty of living those four words every single day.
Love and Fun,
Steph

"Knowing Yourself is the Beginning of All Wisdom..." -Aristotle
Hello, Nice to Meet You
What do you really know about you? What things are steadfast and true about the person you are?
Self Awareness is having a clear perception of your personality, including strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, motivation, and emotions.
We are all wounded creatures. Wounded by life, wounded by love and wounded by the human experience. It's just part of the deal. But how we deal with the injuries and the scars of life is what makes the biggest difference in our happiness.
Having enough self awareness to accept that we all come from some form of broken-ness is the first step to finding real joy. Nothing and no one is perfect. Once we accept that, we can move on from that and heal. There's power in understanding our broken-ness. This is the only really way to become healed and whole.
Therapy Is The New Foreplay
It's sexy as hell when you meet someone who can own their shit, who understands their imperfections and has done the work to heal their wounds. We can only grow, evolve and change when we find this path to self-awareness.
"I feel that people who are self-aware are the ones who are continually evolving and rather than aging, they almost seem to get younger," says CEO and founder of HSFT Stephanie Taormina. "It's like a circle."
The Law of Attraction basically states that putting out some form of energy will attract a similar form of energy to you. Like attracts like. So, when you are putting out the vibe and energy into the world of a healed, whole you, that is what you are going to get back. When we are mired in the wounds and the undone parts of ourselves, it only brings more brokenness and we find ourselves unable to move past the old stuff to make way for the new.
Next Stop, Happiness
It's that age old wisdom from Alexander Graham Bell says "When one door closes, another door opens".... but how can the door really close if we're blocking the threshold with all the unresolved stuff?
It doesn't require confrontation or blame, it just requires understanding of what you've been through and experienced, so you can deal with how it has affected you in your life. That's self awareness, -looking those experiences dead in the eye and saying, "Yeah, I see you, but you don't define me."
We make room for our true divine self when we let go and heal. We make room for the light and for joy. We make room for the happiness. And for the FUN! And we're all about having the fun at Have Some Fun Today.
Life is Beautiful
The beauty of our mission and our mantra, Have Some Fun Today, is that at the core of it, it is simply about having enough mindfulness to live in each moment. It's a childlike way to see the world and live your life, but don't kids have it all figured out? See life through the eyes of a child, and you'll see a life worth living. In the end, it's the little things that always matter more.
Find your truth and your power in healing yourself, because that's where the essence of our beauty resides. You'll shine like a diamond when you step into your own light.
HSFT, baby...

HAVE SOME FUN TODAY - It started with four words on a t-shirt; words that were said by a late father to his family. What happened on the way to creating a legacy of a father's love was the birth of a grassroots brand. A company with soul. Along our journey to making cool tees, luxe totes and amazing gifts, we discovered a community of people who "get it". You got it! You got the vibe and the essence of Have Some Fun Today.
Your Daily Pep Talk
Those four words are so much more than our cool t-shirts. It's now become a mindset. A philosophy, a little slip of paper in the fortune cookie of life. HAVE SOME FUN TODAY. It's a call to action to make your life FUN, even in the most mundane or challenging of moments. It's a reminder to push yourself outside of the "the box" and see something you've never seen before. It's the simplest of things but the impact is profound. The Law of Attraction is pretty basic. You get what you give. Why not try putting positivity and possibility and FUN into your world today? Why not Have Some Fun Today?
It's All How You Look At It
Not long ago in our studio, from a brainstorming sessions about HSFT, our founder Stephanie Taormina came up with a simple phrase that encapsulates perfectly what this is all about. A Brand With Soul. She couldn't possibly know that a vision of a painting would turn into all this two years later. But this is a brand with depth and connection. We're interested in changing the way we look at life, not just selling a t-shirt. We're pushing a mindset. And that doesn't cost a thing.
It's All About You
Yeah, we make great t-shirts, totes, and gifts emblazoned with those four words, but it's become so much more. You've joined us on our path. You've shared your HSFT stories, your experiences and why you love the brand so much. You have become part of us and that is truly inspiring.
As we grow and expand the business, so too, does our community. More amazing people are becoming part of our Collective Inspiration. We want everyone to be part of that. Our Community is a beautiful patchwork quilt of all these HSFT people, like you, and experiences that are re-defining what we are everyday. You could say it's taken on a life and breath of it's own.
There's Always Room For More
We love what our HSFT Community has become. Haven't jumped in yet? Know someone that should? Share The Vibe. It's simple, really. Be Adventurous. Smile More. Be Grateful. Be Confident. Spread Happiness. Have. Some. Fun. Today. You can buy our luxe t-shirts, cool trucker hats other HSFT gear, but the magic of HSFT is that that it's free. #SharingHSFT
