Without them, none of this would be possible.

You need someone who keeps reminding you why you started. Someone who holds your vision when you’re too tired to see it clearly. Someone who tells you it’s going to be okay when things fall apart.

Someone who says, I believe in you.
That you are smart. That you are talented. That you should be proud of yourself.

Someone who says, we can do this together.
I will help you.
We will figure it out.

Behind every dream that survives, there is love that refused to let it die.

Makaop is not just what I create with my hands, but what we build together.🩵

My heart aches when I see how disconnected we’ve become from the real magic out there. I can’t understand why so many choose to live fast, consume poison, and attach their worth to material things — chasing status, chasing numbers in an account, chasing more but never arriving.

Some might say we are hiding from the real world and its responsibilities.
I would say we are returning to what actually matters. Returning to what we were always meant to be as human beings.

No, not everyone can move to a remote island. But all of us can consciously choose, every single day, how we live with the resources available to us.

And when more people start choosing differently, even in small ways, the demand for the things they told us we needed begins to fade.

And when demand fades, the world changes with it.

Create the life you don’t need to escape from. It should be slow, simple and intentional. Humans have this funny thing, over complicating everything and getting stuck on beliefs that society invented for us. Break the cycle, thank yourself later🧚🏽

Living on a small island taught me how to slow down.
Mornings start with an ocean dip, days move with the tides, and if the surf is good, everything else can wait.

I spend my time surfing, beachcombing, and designing handmade jewelry inspired by the ocean — shells, textures, and imperfect pieces shaped by nature.

Makaop jewelry is made slowly, in small batches, with intention.
For everyday wear, for ocean lovers, for people drawn to simple, natural, meaningful things.

If you’re into slow living, island life, surf culture, and ocean-inspired jewelry — you’re in the right place.

Born from ocean rituals and quiet intention ✨
Each Makaop piece carries its own energy — shaped by hand, guided by intuition, finished under island skies. Not rush. Just magic.🌝

Everyone’s chasing 3-second loops.
Same audios. Same hooks. Same noise.

Attention spans are short, boredom is loud, and negativity travels faster than meaning.

I choose to share only what’s real to me.
Slow. Intentional. Made with heart.

If it inspires even one person to think outside the bubble and chase their dreams, the purpose is fulfilled.
Makaop isn’t for everyone—and that’s okay.
The right people will find their way. 🩵

I preach this all the time,
but sometimes I slip.

Days like today.
Worrying about what will be,
or what I should have done.

In moments like this,
I step outside
and remind myself
of all the good around me.

The little things
that matter the most.

The rest will figure itself out.
It always does.

Because the universe has a plan.
Trust the process.
Be patient.

Stay aware.
Be ready to receive.
Watch for the signs.

And listen to your heart. 🩷🌺

Make memories ✨

Make memories ✨

Some days I follow my to-do list.
Other days I follow my intuition.

Today I chose this instead — slowing down, listening, letting myself be exactly where I am. Trusting that rest, presence, and nature are not distractions from life, but part of it.

We’re taught to measure our worth by how much we do, how fast we move, how hard we hustle. But my nervous system knows better. My body knows better. And honestly… my soul does too.

So if you’re feeling behind, unmotivated, or off-track — maybe you’re not lost. Maybe you’re just being called to pause, soften, and remember there’s more to life than your little bubble of obligations.🌺🫶🏽

“We look for pretty ocean pieces and turn them into mermaid trinkets—each one carrying a little sea magic 🌊✨”

We discovered a sea turtle nest on our island 🐢
To protect it from predators, we’ve carefully covered the area and now monitor the nest daily.
With patience and minimal disturbance, we’re giving the hatchlings the best chance to reach the ocean 🌊 *Disclaimer* this technique is the not the best to practice, it could be very dangerous for hatchlings but we used what we could with resources available on the island and we monitor the spot every day.🩵🤞🏽🫶🏽

Pretty ocean trinkets for ocean girlies 🧚🏽‍♂️🩵🫶🏽

For the past 3 years, we’ve built something really special here — a community of like-minded girlies who love the ocean, nature, and pretty salty trinkets 🐚✨

So many of you message Makaop saying you’re living this wild island dream through the screen with us. And it felt like the right moment to say… let’s make it real.

We want you to taste this life.
To feel it in your body.
And maybe let it spark something in you — the courage to chase your own dreams.
Because it’s never too late.

This meet is for everyone.
Not just surfers. Not just “experienced ocean girls.” It’s for anyone who’s been dreaming of a life like this, but feels scared to go alone or take the first step.

We’ve got you.
Let’s do this together 🤍

Experience your castaway dream.

Just a girl, a handful of shells, and sustainably slow-made ocean trinkets.🧚🏽‍♂️🩵🫶🏽

Crazy how a small, sustainable jewelry business can cause so much outrage in comment sections. People judge so quickly based on a few seconds of video.

Many assume that me collecting a couple of broken, washed-up shell pieces (around 200 g per year) is a main reason ecosystems are collapsing and the world is on fire.

I’m not saying shell collecting has zero impact — everything does — but compared to the biggest environmental issues we’re facing right now, this feels close to negligible.

I also live on a small tropical island and try to minimize my footprint in everyday ways: I don’t drive a car, I don’t buy lots of clothes (only natural fabrics and second-hand), we catch our own fish, grow some of our food, and turn the power off at night. So I think that evens out.

Also here is the uncomfortable truth:

The moment you
• breathe
• eat
• drink water
• walk on soil
• build shelter
• make tools
• use fire

…you alter ecosystems and displace other life.

Even gathering a leaf, stepping on insects, or drinking from a stream causes some level of harm.

So absolute non-harm (perfect ahimsa) is not compatible with being biologically alive.

What a year.
It’s been 3 years since Makaop officially launched — even though the idea had been living in my head rent-free for almost 10 years.

I’m so glad I started. Even when the first pieces were terrible and I had no idea what I was doing (and honestly… I still don’t about 80% of the time). I’m learning every day. Doing everything myself isn’t easy, and this year came with plenty of fuck-ups that made me question everything. But deep down, I know this is worth it.

What makes it all matter is the community we’ve built here — like-minded people who love nature, the ocean, and a slower, more intentional way of living. Sharing island life and my way of moving through the world with you brings me so much joy. Not just because I make jewelry, but because I hope it inspires you to go after your little “silly” dreams and step outside your comfort zone.

To start noticing the simple, pure moments.
To remember the world isn’t a bad place — sometimes you just have to look a little harder and shift your focus toward what brings you joy.

I have a feeling that in 2026, Makaop won’t be only about jewelry, but so much more. A whole new experience. I’m planning to invite you into my own little island world and share moments together — not just through a screen.

Stay tuned. Beautiful things are coming.

Thank you for being here. 🤍🐚

Giant clams (Tridacna species) are some of the largest mollusks in the world. Their shells form over many years through slow calcium growth, influenced by water temperature, reef health, and tides. Finding one like this is a reminder of why protecting marine ecosystems matters. Also these species are highly protected and removing them from the beaches is prohibited. This video is only for educational purposes and the shell was left where we found it.

What if the life you’re rushing toward isn’t the one that’s meant to hold you — and all this time, the real moment has been waiting quietly right here?

Somewhere between tides, mountains, salt on skin and sun-warmed silver, you remember. Life was never meant to be endlessly postponed. It was meant to be felt. Slowly. Wildly. Fully.
