I’ve always believed in the quiet things.
The little notes you leave for yourself. The small gestures that no one else sees. The gentle way you learn to speak to yourself after a hard season.
That’s the heart of Ploppals—especially our Small & Sassy line. Because sometimes the loudest encouragement comes from the softest, strangest places. Like a hand-crocheted poop plushie holding a card that says,
“I give a sh*t about you.”
Why Affirmations Matter
Affirmations aren’t about pretending everything is perfect.
They’re about reminding yourself that you’re still worthy—especially when things are messy.
They’re little reframes. A soft “try again” from inside your own life.
And when those reminders are tied to something tangible—something small, funny, and unexpected—they somehow land deeper.
Why It Helps to See Them Throughout the Day
There’s something powerful about seeing a message again and again.
Not as a notification. Not as a pop-up.
But as a quiet companion in your everyday space.
Like my heart Ploppal sitting on the dashboard of my car—quietly cheering me on during the errands, the traffic, the hard mornings.
Or my flower Ploppal, patiently waiting on my desk with its bright eyes and its tiny reminder:
“If poop can grow flowers, you can do anything.”
They don’t say much.
But when I’m tired or overwhelmed or just a little lost in my own brain,
they’re there.
Saying:
You’re doing okay. Someone cares. I believe in you.
And sometimes? That someone is me. A past me, who knew I’d need the reminder.
Why a Poop Plushie?
Because joy doesn’t have to be serious.
And love doesn’t have to be polished.
Because life is weird and hard and beautiful—and laughter, encouragement, and affirmation can absolutely live in the same place.
Because sh*t happens. Life gets messy. And maybe affirmations matter most when you're in the middle of the storm—when everything feels like crap, and you just need one small, ridiculous reminder that you’re not alone.
One Final Thought
If no one’s told you today:
You’re not alone.
You’re allowed to grow slowly.
You’re allowed to laugh at the ridiculous and cry at the small things.
And you are so deeply worthy—exactly as you are.
Even if your biggest win today is noticing a poop-shaped plushie on your dashboard and smiling at it.
That’s enough.
P.S. While the Small & Sassy line brings a little PG-13 humor to life’s messy moments, we know not everyone wants a plushie with potty mouth energy. That’s why we’re also getting ready to launch the Comfort Cozy line — a G-rated collection designed to offer the same love, laughter, and encouragement… just with a gentler voice. Perfect for kids, or anyone who could use a kind companion through the hard days.
