If you're anything like me, you need to physically write out your day-to-day tasks in order to feel organized. 

We've released planning sheets in the past, but I've been in favor of more neutral designs as of late. So I adore these fresh planning sheets for iPad / tablet that make staying organized throughout the day a piece of cake.

🌀 TUTORIAL : Cool curvy text 🌀

HOW TO: Make Curved Text in Illustrator

1. Open Illustrator. Draw the path for your shape either using the Pen or Paintbrush tools. You can also easily clean up your points using the Smooth Tool. It’s one of my favorite tricks to get smoother curves in your vector shapes!

"Your energy is currency. Spend it well."

This quote hit me like a ton of bricks the first time I read it. 

For most of my life, I've been a people-pleaser. I've given my precious energy to people who don't deserve it. I've said yes when I wanted to say no. I've taken on huge projects that I didn't have the bandwidth for, because I wanted to be helpful.

✨ TUTORIAL: Fluffy 3D shapes in illustrator ✨

Wondering how to add some dimension and texture to shapes you create in Illustrator? We are back with another tutorial to help you spruce up your designs.

1. Open Illustrator and draw a circle. Make the fill a gradient of your choice. I find that making a gradient fill adds more dimension to the finished shape. Copy and paste another circle right next to the other one.

OCTOBER WALLPAPERS 🌻🎃🦋🍂🌞 life starts again

I'm freaking obsessed with this one, very specific variation of an F. Scott Fitzgerald quote. 

Every year, when the air starts feeling crisp and Fall-like, this quote pops into my mind:

"Life starts again when it gets crisp in the Fall." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
