We’ve always believed in the values of transparency and authenticity. In combination, these two ideals have been the foundation of our small family business and they’re stitched into every silk kimono robe we make. That’s because we know when we embrace truth, we embrace our deepest powers — on an individual and collective level. At KIM+ONO, we know the world often pulls us in a thousand different directions, making us serve other people’s ideals and other people’s wants and needs before our own. While community is extraordinarily important to us, we know that the strongest community is made up of individuals who embrace their own identities and feel comfortable in their own authentic lives.
We also know that finding and embracing your truest nature can be a profound act of self-love. It’s about reconnecting with who you really are and living in a way that feels authentic and powerful. So today in the journal, we want to offer five ways to help you find your true, authentic self, knowing that as you connect with your own authenticity, you’ll connect with your power as well.
Nature has an unparalleled way of bringing us back to our roots. For the parents and caregivers reading this, you know that bringing a crying baby into nature can be the kryptonite for their crankiness! Stepping outside, whether it’s for a walk in the park, a hike in the woods, or simply spending time in your garden, can also help ground us grown ups, too! Mother Earth provides a sense of calm and clarity. The fresh air, the rustle of leaves, and the gentle sounds of nature work together to soothe your mind and body. That’s why the beauty of botanicals are a hallmark of our women’s silk robes. We know that wrapping up in the power of nature is one way to reconnect to your own innate power.
So make it a habit to spend some time outside each day. It doesn’t have to be long—even a few minutes can make a significant difference. As you walk or sit in nature, let go of any distractions and focus on the sensations around you. Feel the ground beneath your feet, listen to the birds, and breathe deeply. This simple practice can help you reconnect with your inner self and the world around you.
Whether you stay in or go out, there’s something inherently uplifting about feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. It’s a reminder of the energy and vitality that exists within and around us. Sunlight is not only beneficial for our physical health—providing essential vitamin D—but also for our mental well-being. Take a moment to wrap up in your women’s long silk robe and bask in the sunlight each day. The smooth, cool fabric of your long kimono robe against your skin paired with the warmth of the sun creates a delightful contrast, making your sunbathing session even more indulgent.
Find a sunny spot, whether it’s your backyard, a park bench, or a cozy corner by a window. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let the warmth envelop you. Imagine it filling you with light and positivity, energizing you from the inside out.
Embracing your truest nature means expressing yourself honestly and openly. Speaking your mind is an act of authenticity and courage. It’s about sharing your thoughts, feelings, and ideas without regard to anyone else’s judgment. When you speak your truth, you not only honor yourself but also inspire others to do the same.
Practice being more vocal about your opinions and feelings. Start small—share your thoughts in a conversation with a friend or family member. Gradually, build up the confidence to express yourself in larger settings, whether it’s at work, in social gatherings, or even online. Remember, your voice matters, and your perspective is unique and valuable. Embody confidence by wrapping up in your women’s silk robe as sartorial self expression. Let your silk kimono robe introduce you with confidence as you walk into a room. The elegance and comfort of your long robe can serve as a reminder of your worth and the importance of your voice.
Confidence is not just about how you feel inside; it’s also about how you present yourself to the world. Wearing your confidence can mean dressing in a way that makes you feel powerful and comfortable in your own skin. It’s about choosing outfits that reflect your personality and boost your self-esteem.
Take the time to curate a wardrobe that makes you feel like the queen you are. This might include a women's long silk robe for those moments when you want to feel luxurious and sophisticated at home. The flowing, elegant fabric can make even the simplest day feel special. Maybe you find a pair of perfect jeans that always make you feel relaxed and powerful. Experiment with styles and colors that resonate with you. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Whether it’s a bold accessory, a chic dress, or a classic long kimono robe, wear what makes you feel strong and beautiful. When you feel good in what you wear, your confidence naturally shines through.
You’ve heard it a million times: growth is what happens when you step outside your comfort zone. Remember, being honest and true to yourself may not always feel comfortable at first. Embracing your truest nature involves pushing your boundaries and trying new things. It’s about being open to new experiences, even if they feel a little uncomfortable when you begin.
Challenge yourself to do something different each week. This could be taking up a new hobby, meeting new people, or exploring a new place. The goal is to stretch yourself and discover more about who you are and what you’re capable of. As you embark on these new adventures, remember to equally practice self care. Slip into your women's long silk robe as self care you can wear—a beautiful and elegant reminder that you deserve to try something new and deepen your well-being.
Embracing your truest nature is a journey of self-discovery and self-love. Celebrate your uniqueness and let your true, authentic self shine through in everything you do. We want to see the real you.
