We had the good fortune of connecting with NMBK ( no more bad karma) Mike & Carla and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi NMBK ( no more bad karma), how do you define success?
Success is finding your own happiness! This is simply our version : (NO MORE BAD KARMA) Success for us is building a healthy and peaceful home for our family to grow and strive in. Us being able to do what we love to do – together.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Nothing has ever been easy, least of all, starting a Brand….during Covid. Hunkered down in quarantine, we wanted to stay busy and creative with the kids. Everyone here is artsy. As the ideas and designs came, we figured why not turn them into clothing. Sounded easy enough. But it has been a long learning process. We have had to teach ourselves every aspect of the business, thru trial and error. S/O to You Tube for all the tutorials! It’ hasn’t always been a smooth ride , but sure has been worth it. When someone says they like what we have on, it’s definitely a proud moment for us . Because we literally made it at home. From design to print to press, we made it all and we do it from our kitchen table. Not only do we customize orders to fit our clients needs, we are steady coming up with new content that is meaningful to us.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We’d probably do alot of eating, especially in Oak Cliff. Paisanitos, Cheesecake House, Taco y Vino, Glorias & Aw or Big Shucks would be on the list. And if you’re nature lovers like us, hiking at Cedar Ridge and kayaking at White Rock lake would do the trick.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
This chapter of our story is dedicated to one another. We didn’t get a chance to live out our dreams together in our twenties and now that we’ve reunited (17 years later) in our 40’s, we’ve got a lot of love and life lessons to share. Our home team gets all the credit. (4 kids and a big spoiled Rottie) We’re leaving behind our true story with them. One full of love, nature ,music and art. Thank you to everyone who has liked, ordered and shared our lifestyle.
