My Version of Empties, Illustrated Of Course!

My Illustrated Empties. Things I Loved Enough To Use Up.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “empties” posts lately—where people share their used-up products and thoughts on them. It usually involves skincare products and makeup, and I really enjoy seeing them. So, here is my own version of an “empties” round-up—illustrated, of course. These are a few products I liked enough to finish.

P.S. I made this with Procreate to save time, which is new for me. Usually, I do everything analog: pen, ink, pencil, paint, etc. I hope that by practicing my digital drawing skills, I’ll have time to create more new work and update here more frequently. Let’s see how that works out 🙃.

For now, I hope you enjoy seeing my empties (do let me know!). See you soon! 💛⁠

Happy Little Things!😍

These Are Some Of The Small Things That Are Making Me Happy At The Moment.

I´ve illustrated some of my current favorite little things, that I´m wearing or using all the time. Some are new and some are old favorites.

In case you’re wondering: the earrings are from a local shop, the tiny tagine is from Sostrene Grene, the led candle from Xenos, watch from Casio, handbag and mittens are vintage finds, wool socks from a local market, plate and mug from IKEA, tote bag was a gift and the sandals are Birkenstock.

Wishing everyone a happy December, with lots of things, people and experiences that make you feel happy! ❤️

Cozy November Favorites for a Minimalist Wardrobe, Illustrated.

2024 November Faves Cindy Mangomini

My Favorite Things To Wear And Use This November, So Far.

This has basically been my November uniform. It´s cold outside but these are the items that are keeping me warm and cozy. A lot of long time favorites on here because I’m still trying to be more of a minimalist. My Pizza For President tote bag is an old favorite that made it back to my regulars recently. The sweater (from & Other Stories) and socks (from my local week-market) are new and I’ve been wearing them all the time. I’m also using Weleda Skin Food every day to protect my skin from the harsh cold.

So far, I’m really enjoying autumn. I love the pretty autumn colors when I go on hikes and I enjoy cozying up inside or meeting friends for drinks. Hope you are enjoying fall as well!

Hanging on to Summer: My Cozy Trans Seasonal September Style, Illustrated.

2024 09 September So Far

Sneezing Into September: An Illustrated Recap.

September for me started with a bad cold, flu, or whatever it was. I´ve been trying to get better with tea and honey, lemon juice, vitamin C rich fruit and putting lots of ginger and garlic in all my food.

When I´m not at home trying to rest, this has been my favorite outfit lately. As you can see, I´m hanging on to summer with my sandals and (mostly) unnecessary sunglasses. The umbrella on the other hand is very necessary, unfortunately. The beautiful fair trade leather bag, that I had my eye on for a long time, I was lucky enough to find at a vintage shop not so long ago, in excellent condition. Yay!

I hope to feel well enough soon to enjoy the last sunny days. At the same time I also love the idea of a cozy autumn and just making the most of any kind of weather and every season.

Hope you are all having a good start of September. See you soon!

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!🤞

Illustrated February Mood.

This illustration sums up my February 2024 mood. I´m longing for spring and for picnic season to start. We’ve had a little bit of sunshine and my plants are showing signs of new leaves, so that makes me happy! I also just make the most of winter by cozying up inside and going for winter walks. I hope you’re also having a good month so far. See you soon!

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.
