An Illustrated Reminder: Today Is International Relaxation Day.

Take a Break: It’s International Relaxation Day

Today is International Relaxation Day, a special day dedicated to unwinding and taking a break from the busyness and pressures of daily life. I will be going for swim and a little picnic at my favorite shady spot (essential during this heatwave). I’ll bring a book, and probably some chilled rosé wine as well. As I write this, I’m enjoying the smell of my current favorite scented candle (Neroli & Basil). How are you relaxing today?

Take A Break, It’s National Relaxation Day!

Unwind 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.

Let’s Cuddle Up, Illustrated.

National Cuddle Up Day, In Drawings

It’s National Cuddle Up Day today and I’ve updated one of my Best Nine illustrations of 2020 with this day in mind.
The Dutch weather is perfect for cuddling up under a blanket at the moment, it’s so cold! So, put on something warm & comfy (2020 has been the year I embraced sweatpants!) and cuddle up. If you don’t have anyone to cuddle with, remember that plant love is also real love. I REALLY love my plants, so who’s to say that my plants don’t also really love me?? I choose to believe they do, haha. Oh, and also: real cuddles will be making a comeback soon!⁠ Have a nice day!⁠

If this drawing is giving you all sorts of happy and cozy feelings, I have a very similar illustration available on a postcard on Etsy.

After Lockdown Picnic!

Happy International Picnic Day! I know not everyone can do this safely at the moment and I feel very lucky to live in a place where I can enjoy one of my favorite summer activities again. I hope the same will be true for everyone soon.💚

Eat What You Want Day

Happy National Eat What You Want Day!

If you’re looking for a reason to celebrate today and treat yourself food wise, I’m happy to let you know that today (May 11th) is ‘Eat What You Want Day‘! 😃 For me that looks something like this.⁠ These are some of my absolute favorite foods and snacks. I could eat (and drink) these every day, and probably would, if it wasn’t so unhealthy to do so. What are your favorite (guilty pleasure) foods?⁣ And do you have any quarantine-cravings?⁠ 😋🍫🍕
