We’re already almost half way through the month of December, that’s crazy! I love shopping for gifts for friends and family, and I always pick up a little something here and there for myself while I’m piling things into the basket, and I usually come prepared with wishlists from those I’m shopping for. When asked for a wishlist from someone to buy for me, I always put in the usuals for every year- socks, a certain lipstick, a candle, etc. But this year is when I’ve changed the most as a person and within my situation- I moved to Berlin, Germany to study to become a graphic designer. With that, my priorities shifted. I became focused on creating and finding inspiration to help better myself in my future career. And I’ve realized along the way that a few items would really help me with long nights, exhaustive creative blocs, and stressful conundrums that abruptly stopped my workflow. So I present a gift guide for designers! If your friend is a designer or creative, go the extra mile to show them that you acknowledge and appreciate their creativity by gifting them things that would help them prosper, or just enjoy some nice things in life that winks to their passion.
2018
Hello 2018! I know, my resolution list is way late, as it’s already the 9th of January! But I finally have a laptop and a quiet room to peacefully work in, as I just got back from a four week vacation all over the place. I’m technically still on my vacation because I’m currently in Germany, but I’m leaving tomorrow and as part of my resolutions list, I’d like to be productive with my blog wherever and whenever! Below is my 2018 resolutions (in no particular order) that I have set for myself, and they have changed quite a bit from previous years, because I am constantly changing and reevaluating what should be important. I know that you don’t need to wait for the new year to change, break, or make new habits. But it lets me reflect on the past year and think about what I could improve on and it’s a good basis for change for me.
