Eco-friendly Gift Ideas

Affordable Sustainable Gifts, An Illustrated Guide.

Here are some of my favourite eco-friendly gift ideas for this Holiday season (or any season really). Make someone happy with a beautiful gift that’s also good for the planet: a win-win situation. Let’s make it a green Christmas this year!

Personally I think you can never go wrong with a plant, but then, I am a real plant lady. But anything plastic-free, reusable, fair trade or made from natural or upcycled materials will make your eco-friendly friends and family happy.

Hello!

Meet The Maker: A Little Bit About Me.

Today is World Hello Day and I though this would be a good day for me to say hello, and tell you a little bit about myself for those of you who are new here. In the form of an illustration, of course 😉  The book you see is The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho, one of my all time favourites.

What I Wore: Festival Look.

I’ve been super busy with work lately. I haven’t had much time to update my social media (or to go outside really). Except for one very sunny festival day last Saturday where this was my festival look.

Lazy Day!

It’s Lazy Day today! Probably the easiest “special day” to celebrate and a perfect excuse to take a break and enjoy some precious “me” time without feeling guilty about it, so enjoy your lazy day! xx⁠

Super Easy Zero Waste Swaps, Illustrated.

How To Reduce Waste And Save Energy, In Drawings.

Today is World Environment Day. The perfect day to share part 3 of my personal journey to a “low waste’ life. These are the changes that I have personally made. I completely understand that not every option is available to everyone. But even if you can only make a few of these changes, you can make a difference. And if everyone tries a little bit, together we can accomplish a lot! If you find these drawings useful, I have it available on a postcard on Etsy, to keep as positive inspiration. You can also follow me on Instagram for more regular updates on my low waste journey.

How I Started My Low Waste Journey

In the illustration above I have combined (almost) all of the changes that I have made over the last year(s). Below you see part 1, 2 and 3 of my “journey to zero waste”. Starting with the latest one, Part 3.

Hello June!

2019 Hello June Mangomini

Can you believe it’s June already? A new month means it’s time for a new calendar page. This is the ‘June’ page from my 2019 calendar. I hope this month will be filled with lots of sunny picnic days, just like I drew here 😉

Couples “Portrait”

This is a custom couples “portrait” commission that I made for Annabel and Coen, to celebrate their wedding anniversary. I was very happy to do it, because, as you can see, they have a very cute & cozy style!⠀

More is more!

More is More Fashion Style: Make it fun and colorful!

Here is a “portrait” of one of my friends, who is a real “more is more’ type of girl: very colorful, with big hair, a big heart and big personality! She like bold prints, bright colors, polka dots and vintage elements. As you can hopefully see, I had a lot of fun drawing her style.🌼 This illustration was so popular on Instragam that I also turned it into a postcard.
