Lovely Lisbon! A Portuguese Mini Break.

2018 Lisbon Cindy Mangomini

Things I Enjoyed Most In Portugal, Illustrated Of Course.

Last week I visited Portugal for the first time. While I was there I saw Ben Howard in concert in Lisbon (the first concert of his new tour, and my direct reason for finally visiting Portugal). Needless to say I had a wonderful time! This illustration is a small summary of some of the things I enjoyed most while I was there, an illustrated reminder for myself.

My travel read was Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. Moving and very funny!

What I’m Wearing Most This Spring, In Drawings Of Course!

We’ve had some lovely spring weather here in the Netherlands lately and this is an illustrated recap of what I’ve been wearing (and doing) most. One of the books I’m currently reading is The little book of Hygge by Meik Wiking. I’ll definitely be making some illustrations inspired by this theme soon! And of course I’m always carrying my Dopper water bottle filled with fresh tap water to reduce my plastic waste.

Also want to reduce waste this spring?

Take a look at my low waste spring drawing here. It’s filled with simple ways to reduce waste and save energy.

Hello May!

Things To Do, Wear & Enjoy In May, Illustrated.

Hello May! A new month, a new calendar page. And even though this illustration was made almost one year ago, it’s still pretty close to what I’m wearing and doing most at the moment. I tend to stick more and more to simple basics, paired with cute shoes and accessories. I’ve also turned into a real plant lady, and that’s also starting to show in my work.

Happy King’s Day!

2018 Kings Day Mangomini

Happy King’s day! Today we Dutchies celebrate our King’s birthday. That means: celebrating all day, preferably outside, and everything (including yourself) in orange!

For my non-Dutch followers, some of the typical Dutch foods in here are (from top to bottom):  tompoes (a very sweet pastry, with an orange layer especially for King’s Day), drop (salty liquorice), stroopwafel (waffle filled with caramel syrup) and hagelslag (chocolate sprinkles to eat on your bread, usually for breakfast).

The book is: The Cather in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Happy World Book Day!
