Hello March!

Mangomini march

Hello March! A new month means a new calendar page. This month has a bit of a book lovers theme, because well, I love books and reading is a perfect way to spend time while waiting for spring to start. I’m reading a Dutch novel called Nooit meer slapen (Beyond Sleep) at the moment by Willem Frederik Hermans, which takes place in northern Norway. What are you reading at the moment?⁣

New in my shop!

Less stuff A6 Etsy Mangomini1

New in my Etsy shop: Less stuff, more adventure postcard!

Are you inspired by the minimalism movement, dream of living in a tiny house, travelling more or obsessed with Marie Kondo? I’ve been trying to live a more minimalistic life, reduce my waste and focus more on experiences rather than on things. So less stuff and more adventures. Isn’t buying this card also buying more stuff? Well, in a way yes, but I keep it on my wall to remind myself of this goal and it helps me to stay focussed and motivated, maybe it can do the same for you 😉

When life gives you lemons..

2019 favourites Mangomini

When life gives you lemons, you better find a good way to use those lemons! Like in your illustrations or in a nice cocktail (or both!) These are some of my 2019 favourites, so far.

Get well soup… I mean soon!

Homemade soup day Mangomini broth bar

Happy homemade soup day! With the cold winter weather and so many people down with a cold or flu, it’s a perfect day for some healthy and tasty homemade soup. I made these “Get well soup” cards especially for The Broth Bar in Maastricht. They serve delicious, organic, healthy, home made broth and soup (also to-go) for when you don’t have time to make it yourself. Lots of gluten free and vegan options too!

Hey You… You’re Awesome!

Today is National Compliment Day, so take a little time to give someone a nice compliment. You never know the effect it can have on somebody’s day or even life! I’ll start with a compliment to all my lovely followers here: You’re awesome and you make me feel good!

Perfect weather… to stay inside!

Although I always have every intention to go outside, no matter what the weather is like, in reality I find the cold winter temperatures to be a perfect excuse to chill inside and not leave my house. Luckily I have a lot of nice things to draw there as well. (Illustration available as prints and greeting cards in my Etsy shop!)

January Cold
