opalhaven began as a creative outlet for reconnecting with food -and grew into a lifestyle rooted in storytelling, culture and healing.

What sets us apart is the intention behind everything we create.

We take time to explore, feel, and understand before we share. Whether it’s a story, a product, or a piece of content, it’s shaped by lived experience, cultural appreciation, and a desire to romanticize the everyday. We don’t chase trends - we create from meaning, memory, and connection.

Meet the creator

Hi, I’m Shayna — a creator and storyteller behind 0palhaven. My journey with food hasn’t always been simple, but learning to reconnect with it in a healthier, more meaningful way is what inspired this space in the first place. 0palhaven grew from a time when I was rebuilding that relationship, turning healing into creativity, culture, and connection.

That same intention led me to create my luxury picnic business with my best friend, Sacramento Luxe Picnic, where I design intimate, beautiful gatherings that encourage people to slow down, connect, and celebrate life’s small but meaningful moments.

I’m inspired by slow mornings, shared meals, thoughtful details, and the belief that life is built from intention — not perfection.

why 0palhaven exists

0palhaven exists to share that healing your relationship with food is possible. Through creativity, storytelling, and intentional living, this space is a reminder that growth can be beautiful when rebuilding.
