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?

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! 💛⁠

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.

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!

In The Mood For Even More Hand Drawn Happiness?

Autumn Self-Care Tips to Boost Your Mood, In Drawings.

Fall Is Here: Time For A Little Autumn Self Care!

This one is for you if you tend to suffer from the autumn blues. Even though this season is known as the coziest season, it can also be easy to feel a bit down during this time. With the days getting darker and the weather colder (not to mention everything else going on in the world) it can be harder to stay positive.

Here, I illustrated, some of the things that help me during the darker days. I hope they will be helpful for you as well.

First of all, I try to stay active and get enough daylight and exercise. I love long autumn walks. I also do some at home yoga and weight lifting. If I’m staying inside I make an effort to cozy up my home as much as possible. I light candles and other warm lights, burn incense for a nice smell and listen (and sometimes dance) to my favorite music. Sometimes I’ll be working on a creative project, other times I love to relax with a book or a nice show or movie to watch.

What are you doing this autumn to stay positive and happy? Feel free to let me know in the comments. I’m curious to know.

Want More Self Care Inspiration?

For those of you who would like a permanent positive reminder to keep in your home, I have two of my self care drawings available as a postcard on Etsy. You can choose between Take Care and Mental Health Plan . Keep it for yourself or send it to a loved one who could use it.

Sunny August Vibes: Illustrated By Hand, Of Course.

Enjoying Summer With My Hand-Drawn Sunny Favorites.

August was thé summer month this year. There was still a lot of rain, but also many sunny days. Some way too hot actually.

I went camping a few times, did a lot of hiking and after-work Stand Up Paddling, rowing, and of course had many picnics. I’m really trying to enjoy these long, warm days as much as possible, before autumn starts.

This illustration is filled with happy, summer favorites, that helped me to stay cool during the hottest days. I hope you are also enjoying summer! See you in September!

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.

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.😉
