Take A Break, It’s National Relaxation Day!

 2024 08 Lazy Relaxation Day Cindy MangominiUnwind and De-stress: Celebrating National Relaxation Day

Today is National Relaxation Day, a special day dedicated to unwinding and taking a break from the busyness and pressures of daily life. It’s a day to focus on self-care, de-stress, and enjoy activities that promote calmness and tranquillity without feelings of guilt.

For me that looks something like this: chilling at home in a comfy outfit, being a bit lazy and guilt-free about just doing things I enjoy without looking at my never-ending to-do list.

Do you want more self-care inspiration?

Take a look at my illustration for International Self-Care Day here.

Summer Day Style 2024, In Drawings, Of Course.

The Things I Can’t Get Enough Of This Summer.

After many months of mostly rain, summer days are finally here…Yay! This is an illustration of some of my favorite items, that I wear and consume all the time. I love being on, in and near the water so my mismatched bikini is one of my most worn items. While I’m doing these water activities I usually bring food for a small picnic. This always includes a fresh baguette, a few cheeses and a bottle of rosé wine. I still adore this vintage picnic bag that I bought for almost nothing, years ago.

I hope you’re also enjoying the sunny weather! I will try to update here a little bit more often, but I can’t make any promises.😉

February Recap, in Drawings.

2024 02 February Recap Cindy Mangomini

Bye Bye February, An Illustrated Recap.

In February I spend more time indoors than usual. The weather was bad and there´s only so much hiking in the rain (and storm) that I can enjoy. So, this meant a lot of cozy time indoors, which I also enjoyed. Netflix nights, drinks and food with friends and quite a lot of cooking and baking, including pizza from scratch for the first time.😋🍕🍷⁠ Now, let spring begin please!🤞

January Recap, in Drawings.

Bye Bye January, An Illustrated Recap.

On the last day of January, it´s time to look back. My plan for this year is to end every month with an illustrated recap. (So far, so good😉)

January was very wet and cold. I loved the snowy days, I didn’t love getting the flu. I still went hiking every week but also spend more time inside. These were some of my favorite and/or most used things. As you can see most of them are related to staying warm & cozy.
