I'm always in awe of your beautiful decorations. You make them seem so easy but they must take up a lot of time!
Thank you so much!! They are a bit time consuming but I love making them and it's very relaxing 😌
Hello, new subscriber here.. found your channel 2 weeks ago. Since then I've been obsessed. I don't have an artistic touch. That's why I often struggle with drawings. But I tried to attempt making my reading journal a little colorful by watching your videos. I love how you use very simple and minimal things to make these spreads. I also don't like buying too many things like stickers, tapes etc to make a spread. So, coming across your channel is like a lucky Christmas gift. Thank you!
Now, hold on! I've tons of questions. Hope you will do a q/a video in future. I'll be waiting. No pressure to answer all my questions.
You said in a video you stopped reading during uni years. What subjects did you study? And in which profession are you now?? Do you read everyday?? I mean with a full-time job how do you manage reading? I'm a teacher. On some days, I feel so drained that even if I wanna read, I simply can't. Also you said you used to read classics before. So, when did you start reading them? My first language isn't English. So I sometimes struggle with classics. Have you faced any such problem? Do you remember when you started venturing out to books other than textbooks? Lastly, love your nail polishes, rings and necklaces 💕 which brand do you use for them?
Hi there! Thanks so much for subscribing!! I'm so glad to hear you have tried some of my minimalist spreads :) I'm also not the best at drawing, especially when I started out this channel, so I love doing simple spreads that anyone can make! Happy to hear you like them :)
I would be happy to do a q&a sometime if people are interested haha. And I'm sorry for the delay in getting back, the end of year rush at my full time job was really overwhelming these past weeks! Which I guess answers one of your questions, I definitely struggle to read every day sometimes, but I try to at least read one chapter before going to sleep, to keep the habit! But I totally feel your struggle and some days I am just to tired to concentrate on reading even one page haha.
As for my studies, I did international relations so it was a combination of reading on politics, history, political theory, psychology... and now I work for a local NGO in Kosovo. I help small NGOs grow their capacity and increase their impact in communities.
I indeed used to looove classics. I had a great English teacher in high school and she used to always recommend me books based on what I enjoyed. So I read mostly classics and literary fiction, with a bit of John Green and other YA. Since I started reading again a few years ago I'm actively trying to read different genres, but it can be difficult to get into sometimes!
Ohhh I love scavaging for jewelry at artsy markets and little local stores when I travel, so I don't have one specific brand (although I do really love Jukserei!) My nailpolishes are almost all from Hema (a dutch store).
I hope this covers some of your questions, and am happy to answer many more in the future. I really appreciate you reaching out and your kind words ❤️ (and Merry Christmas in case you're celebrating!)
