April is here and it’s when busy season really kicks in! As an artist, art show season runs from April-November for me so it’s time to get new products going, schedule events and promote them! BookCon is this month and I’m so excited to attend for the first time! I’m currently on a no book bu

I have quite the collection of acrylic markers! These were only $5.99 on Amazon and after swatching them, they’re pretty good! I think I will use these on fabric and maybe leather but I really liked that the brush tip was a bit more firm than other brush tips out there! I’m always on the

I did some online shopping for some restocks and new items! I’m in a bedazzling things mood recently and I found these cherry rhinestones that are super cute! I love using acrylic gel pens and I’m excited to try the One More retractable ones! I love using embroidery floss and surprisingl

Recently I went to Hobby Lobby and I grabbed these acrylic brush markers! They have the thinnest brush I’ve seen on an acrylic marker, a great color coding system and a good array of 48 colors! Masters Touch is a brand I find goodies from and I feel they’re underrated! I don’t have a loca

Recently I’ve been on a kick of acrylic gel pens and I do love testing out innovative products! Ohuhu released refillable acrylic markers and if they’re as good as their alcohol markers, I’m sold! Languo is becoming a brand that I need to try everything cause I love their acrylic gel pens!

I created a book challenge! Tell me your first spicy book you read, your first booktok read and your current read! My first spicy book was quite the experience (a little too spicy for me) My first booktok read got me hooked on reading! My current reads (Brimstone and an ARC) are so much

Sometimes there’s nothing better than some retail therapy! I got to grab some new art supplies, some socks, some candy and some hand sanitizer. I love going shopping with friends because we get to enjoy time together! What have you bought recently? #Haul #shopping #shoppingaddict

One of my forms of self care is doing my own manicures! I love using brands like Zoya and Moon Cat because they are free from toxic chemicals and long lasting! I went with the shade Leslie which is a pale pink with a green-blue shift! I find that the combination of base coat and top coa

I’m having a bookish week! I realized I haven’t kept track of the book genres I’ve read so I wrote them in a note! I’m attending BookCon in April and made a list of people I want to meet, panels I want to go to and vendors and indie authors to check out! I have been wanting to make a new bo

I had some gift cards to Barnes and Noble so I went book shopping! I’ve already read Back in the Burbs and give it 5 stars so now I own the book (I typically read on kindle unlimited and if I love the book I buy it or I get autographed or special editions)! I did read a sample of ACOTAR and

I’m using my Happy Planner that I customized and it’s time for March! I love organizing my week or day or month so I know what to plan for and look forward to! This week is my spring break in grad school so I get some downtime! With the weather warming up and spring on the way, I’m hopi

These are by far the coolest mechanical colored pencils! These are from Kalor which is related to Kaco (they make some amazing pens)! These are sharpenable and refillable and there’s numbers on the tops of the pencils! 36 colors to choose from and if they ever make more colors, I’m buyin

Today is my birthday and I turned 31! I had the day off from work and spring break from school is coming up so I got to relax! I got my free drink at Starbucks and tried the Ube coconut macchiato (loved the Ube flavor mixed with coconut) I went for BBQ food for dinner and dessert! A

Remember the days of making friendship bracelets? Well they’re still around and they make amazing bookmarks! I have made some based on book series and love that you can use so many different colors! There’s tons of patterns to choose from and I love learning new ones or playing around with o

I’m a grad school student studying mental health counseling! Something I’m learning about is the Myers Briggs Type Indicator AKA the personality test! You’ve probably seen the four letters like mine (INFJ-T) and wondered what they are! It’s a personality test that looks at how you view the

I’m a numbers person so I decided I wanted to see just how big my collection of stationery is! I counted my spinners and my desk drawer (the desk drawer has a lot of my duplicate pens) I’m shocked at just how much each of these spinners hold and I even have 3 spinners not in use at all! H
