How I’m currently giving this cold a run for its money. I started a new nightly routine Sunday and has helped tremendously already. One - it helps me wind down for bed so my mind isn’t racing and two - it’s helping me stay healthy. ✨ My current home remedy: @tradmedicinals Gypsy Cold Care tea with Raw honey from Safford, Az. @simplejaneco Plain Jane Roller. @younglivingeo R.C. Essential oil roller. And my Himalayan salt rock. Still working out the kinks in my nightly routine(like going to bed on time). Hoping to get it down to a science soon. Until then I will enjoy my tea and oils. ☕️ What are you doing to take care of yourself? Besides this, I’ve been decluttering and letting go of items that were hindering my mental health(and were taking up too much space in our home especially now that Em’s is crawling EVERYWHERE) Things I’ve had for over a decade and just kept a hold of because I could “find a use” for them or “I can still use this” when in reality it was collecting dust or becoming a catch all for laundry and was causing more stress then what was needed. Some sentimental things that I had to talk myself into getting rid of for months. As painful as it was to see these items go, I feel so much better now that they are gone.

Over the holiday I had the pleasure of doing some painting and ended up painting this little festive guy. It’s been awhile since I’ve dabbled in some paint so it was very nice. Hopefully I can come up with something for my Christmas cards! 🤞🏻🎄#mixedmedia #ink #watercolor #christmasdoodles #christmaslights (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqlNAEwBMad/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iy24c4iudhky

Surprise! I’m sick again... yeah I know, when am I not sick 😅 #momlife I suppose. I wasn’t able to finish #inktober but I at least tried! Figured I would share something from my sketchbook that I’m looking forward to turning into a finished piece. October has definitely been a sickly month for me, but hey we’re surviving. #sketches #sketchbook #findingmystyle #quicksketches #progressnotperfection #whenaminotsick #allergiessuck #spacebuns (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkWXxNBWdb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ee1ekzfnlunw

I struggled with the mustard prompt yesterday... so I’ll just share one of the things I’ve been working on. The sketches I was doing studies for the music prompt of #flpinktober. Next step is trying it with watercolors. #inktober #findingmystyle #practicepracticepractice #florals #sketches #sketchbook #ladyart #ladysketches #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #artist #graphicdesigner (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNCE4snZUI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kwcskf0smpkg

I haven’t posted a lot of the florals I’ve been sketching.. but I’ve been drawing them everywhere. So when I saw confetti I took that opportunity to paint some with my confetti #sorrynotsorry I had no idea how to do a koala so I did a cartoon one 🤷🏻‍♀️ Day 15 & 16 - Koala and Confetti #flpinktober #inktober #florals #flowerpainting #inkpainting #learningink #creativelifehappylife #beautifullydipped #creativemind (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpKUrvunWBu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hk7p41ir16n9

Surprise! Moons, planets and stars. I know you are super shocked. 😏 do I have a problem? Possibly. It’s alright I already knew I was crazy. 🤪 🌌 Day 13 - Planet #flpinktober #inktober #learningink #creativelifehappylife #celestial #findingmystyle #outerspace #planets #moons https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGkaw-nwB8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14dd121srboj6

I really like painting fire with ink. It’s just so much fun lol. Don’t mind my flag, wasn’t feeling it, but I did it anyways. Also kinda obsessed with the moon and starts as of late. My rocket has shark fins 🦈 🚀.

This one is my favorite so far. Had lots of fun layering. One of the things I have found to be tough is starting with basic shapes and then putting lines down. I’m so use to doing to opposite. So it’s nice to start to feel comfortable with something I was struggling with. Even if it’s just this one time 😅 Day 10 - Statue #flpinktober #inktober #statue #forest #tryingnewthings #learning #minipaintings #reindeer #ink #painting #artist #graphicdesigner #findingmystyle (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-tBn1nynK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ra9js94kxpcj

Day 5 #flpinktober - Camp So I did a campfire 🔥 I’m really enjoying how quickly ink dries, especially compared to watercolors. #campfire #inktober #inkstudies #creativelifehappylife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bokeyc4nGji/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1unh4tb914ahb
