Rand Acts of Kindness

2023 02 Random Acts Of Kindness Mangomini

Little Things You Can Do To Spread Positivity.

Yesterday was Rand Act of Kindness Day and this motivated me to think about little acts of kindness that I could do myself. Just small things that are easy to do, and often free, that can really brighten up somebody’s day. This also applies to little things you can do for yourself.

What do you think? Do you like my list? And, do you have suggestions for other acts of kindness to add? I would love to hear it and maybe I’ll add them to a second version of this one.

Have a lovely day!❤️

Hello February! (In Drawings)

2023 02 February blog Cindy Mangomini

Cozy Winter Mood At Home, Illustrated.

Hello February! I always love the start of a new month to make plans and think of ways to make the most of that particular month.

For February it’s all about creating coziness at home. When it’s raining and dark outside I love to chill inside with candles, snacks, a glass of wine, a good book or a nice show to watch under a warm blanket. I also give my plants a little extra attention, because some of them are struggling from the lack of light and the cold. What do you like to do in February?

PS. This illustration is from my 2023 Wall Calendar. I still have a few copies available on Etsy, now with 25% discount.

Blue Monday Survival Tips, In Drawings.

2023 blue monday survival Cindy Mangomini

Ideas To Make Blue Monday A Happy Monday.

Today is Blue Monday, supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Since I often draw about self care, mental health and depression coping strategies I thought I’d give you some illustrated positive inspiration to make the most of Blue Monday.

In case you’re interested: for at home exercise I like Yoga With Adriene  Some of my favorite comedy podcasts are Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend and Tig & Cheryl: True Story. These always make me laugh.

If you want to treat yourself to something that will bring happiness all year: I still have a few 2023 wall calendars available on Etsy, now with a discount.

December Outfit, French Girl Style.

Hello December!

Happy December everyone, wishing you all a happy and healthy month. This illustration is from my 2023 calendar. It was inspired by the style of some of my favorite Parisiennes.

2023 Wall Calendar Out NOW!

2023 00 Mangomini Wall Calendar Cover

Surprise: My 2023 Calendar is here!

Hello, I’m back! I know it’s been very quiet on this page. My (work)life changed a lot during Covid and I haven’t had much time for my illustration work, especially updating all my social media channels. I’m most active on Instagram, in case you want to follow me there for more regular updates.

But despite the fact that I have been spending less time on my illustrations, I did manage to put together a new calendar for next year. I missed last year and got so many request to make one again this year, so here it is. It’s sort of a ‘best of’ calendar, because it includes some of my favorite drawings from other years, all updated of course, and also some completely new work. I’m very pleased with the result. I hope you will be too!

2022 Hello February Cindy Mangomini blog

February Style Inspiration, Illustrated.

Hello February! I always love the start of a new month to make plans, set goals and think of ways to make the most of that particular month.

For February it’s all about creating coziness inside, while getting as much daylight as possible and enjoying the rare sunny days to the fullest. It’s also a month to give my plants extra attention, because some of them are struggling from the lack of light. What are your plans for this month?

This illustration is an updated version of one of my wall calendar’s February pages. Sadly I didn’t have time to make one for this year, but keep an eye out for the 2023 calendar later this year.

Take a look here and here for my February pages from previous years.

Making The Most Of Winter Lockdown Life.
