Here's my favorite drawings of 2023, wooooo! It's so fun to see all the different seasons represented. I'm curious, which of these do you like most?

Thank you for following along with my art this year! I feel so lucky that anyone connects with my weird little drawings. Your attention and kindness is very much appreciated. ♥

Here's to more growth in 2024!

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either. 

“good morning!” the bird says to you. “good morning!” the bird’s friend says to you. “good morning!” “good morning!” “good morning!” they are all so happy you are awake and alive!

a lot of people forget about color correcting or don’t know how helpful it is:

green concealer: cancels out red blemishes, scars, scratches, rosy cheeks, rosacea etc

orange concealer: cancels out blue undertones such as 5 o'clock shadows, bruises, hickeys, dark circles. (orange primers are also good for freckles and any ashiness in medium to dark skin tones)

purple concealer: neutralizes yellow skin complexions or yellow bruises.

always color correct before applying foundation and never after, it changes the color of your base. youre welcome

Stop convincing yourself you’re wasting your life away. The time you’ve spent resting and healing was and is necessary. You’re not a waste of a person if you find yourself struggling right now. Healing, recovering, sitting with your pain is foundational. It’s not a waste. You are still whole.
