• OUR STORY

    Happy Hoos started as a simple idea that grew into something bigger than we ever expected. During the pandemic, our co-owner was working as a nurse and found journaling as a steady, grounding practice. That simple habit inspired Happy Hoos, a Los Angeles, California based brand created to bring more joy, positivity, and Happy Hoo moments into everyday life.

  • OUR MISSION

    Designed to be both aesthetically engaging and fully functional, our vibrant collection of notebooks, journals, stickers and shirts help writers, creators, and dreamers use the power of journaling to cultivate more joy, peace, abundance, and Happy Hoo moments in their lives.

  • THE HAPPY HOO HABIT

    Every morning, the moment we wake up, we do:

    5 deep breaths

    3 grateful thoughts

    2 minutes of journaling.

    Helpful Habits. Happier Days. More Happy Hoos.

FOUNDER’S STORY: A JOURNEY INWARD

Hi,

We're a husband and wife duo Cris and Chris. Happy Hoos was started in our 250 square foot apartment in downtown Los Angeles. During the pandemic, Cris wanted a little more clarity and calm in the everyday as the uncertainty of the pandemic rose. This is when made meditative journaling became a habit, a simple practice that blended writing with mindfulness every morning.

Journaling was a constant that helped build a more positive mindset, practice gratitude, and find more joy in the little moments. We tapped into the creative, left side of our brains, played with color, and grew Happy Hoos. Our team brings unique designs, concepts, and ideas to create notebooks, stickers, shirts, and happy mail for every season: winter, spring, summer and fall. We believe each season feels different and our designs aim to match each feeling.

Through writing, we invite everyone to foster an attitude of gratitude, notice the small wins, and celebrate them, or what we like to call "Happy Hoos."

Sending good vibes,
Cris & Chris

PS: On most days, the first thing we write in the morning is "I am grateful for today." Hope you have a wonderful day!
