Finally finished this painting! I love how it turned out. I typically have my paintings set in the night time with a starry sky backdrop, so this was a little different for me 😄 experimenting feels so good when the end result turns out 💕

Last update on the mandala. I decided to colour it in using sparkly gel pens and I love it so much 😄 there’s nothing quite like the confidence boost you get from completing something new 💕 #mandalas #traditionalart #art #confidence

Finished my first mandala 😍 it didn’t turn out perfect, but I am pretty proud of my first attempt and can’t wait to create some more.

I decided to try my hand at drawing mandalas today! This was such a therapeutic activity. I felt relaxed and like my head totally cleared while I worked away

Self-care isn’t just face masks and bubble baths (although, sometimes it is those things too). Self-care is taking care of ourselves mentally, spiritually and physically. Eating, sleeping, learning, socializing and doing things we love are all self-care. Self-care is an intrinsic part of being 💖

Having type 1 diabetes as a kid was always such a lonely experience. I knew no one else with diabetes. Nowadays, a lot of us have to wear technology to help check our blood or give us insulin and I spot type 1 diabetics everywhere! I hope kids today feel a little less alone 💖 #t1d #illustration

I’ve been struggling to sleep… or even relax recently. There is so much more hate in the world than I ever realized and I don’t know how to process that and I know a lot of people are feeling the same. It is important to practice self care and spread love so we stay resilient.

Making mistakes is part of the journey. Not being where you want to be, is normal, it takes time to achieve goals and dreams. You are not a failure, even if you have failed at things. We have our whole lives to try again, find the right path for ourselves and become who we want to be ✨💕
