Things that should be in every book. Question of the Day: What's your favorite book featuring a circus? #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #readers #bookwormproblems #thingsthatshouldbeineverybook #books #amreading #circusbooks
What's your favorite motto or saying? Mine is "fake it til you make it'. I feel so empowered to try new and scary things if I go into them like this is just another day, business as usual instead of turning it into a big deal. Easier said than done, but still helpful! 👕 Design available for purchase on Threadless & TeePublic. Link is in the bio. #mermaids #mermaidquotes #mermaid #mermaidtees #aniasninquote #aniasnin #quote #quoteoftheday #quotes #fantasyquotes #dailyquotes #typographyquotes #typographydesign #typography #teepublic #threadless #threadlessartistshops

Staying in the moment doesn't usually come natural. It requires an intentional break of a busy cycle. The stoppering of the constant forward flow. A short pause, a quick break, a long rest. And then fully refocus on the things happening directly in front of us right this moment. Question of the Day: What is your favorite way to relax? #be #bepresent #positivevibes #positiveaffirmations #positivitychallenge #positivequotes #motivation #refocus #meditation
Trying to be super productive during my work hours can get confusing. Classic work-from-home problem, I guess. Clashing deadlines and answering questions. Making decisions and revisions. False starts and brain farts. Being lost in the frey is part of the process. And I have no reason to believe I can't get the job finished. Question of the Day: What are your productivity hacks? #letteringinspiration #letteringdaily #dailylettering #letteringoftheday #amlettering #handlettering #letteringquotes #goodtype #typefyre #typographyquotes #motivation #letteringpositivity #digitaltype #digitallettering #positivevibes #positiveaffirmations #creativesofinstagram
Feeling kind of mer right now. Question of the Day: What's your favorite mermaid-centric book? #mermaidacessories #mermaids #merman #mermanpin #merpins #pins #pincollection #enamelpins #lapelpins #merfolk #pins #mermaidmerchandise #merch
New designs have been added to my merch shop, including this one, which features my own lettering. Question of the Day: What was the last thing you got roped into doing against your better judgement? #BumbleBess #tshirt #graphictees #words #wordnerd #reversepsychology #letteringoftheday #handlettering #letteringdesign #letteringtypography #typography #typographyquotes #typographydesign #tshirt #bookishmerch #humor #funnytees
How do you take breaks? I like to stay productive, but even though a lot of my work is fun, it's not good to work all of the time. Stepping back and doing something purely recreational usually requires a bit of force or resourcefulness. Instead of stressing about all the work I should be doing I can: 🎒 go window shopping 🎮 play video games with my brother 🍛 cook myself dinner 🌿 tidy my workspace or bedroom 📺 watch a favorite show or movie #letteringinspiration #letteringpositivity #lettering #dailylettering #handlettering #digitaltype #digitallettering #takefive #letteringdaily #positivevibes #positiveaffirmations #positivequotes #takeabreak #selfcaredaily #selfcare #mentalhealth
What are your favorite spin-offs? I'm not usually a fan of a spin-off, but I have to admit, I'm curious about the continuing Spiderwick Chronicles books. I loved these when I was a kid... spooky Victorian houses get me every time. #spiderwickchronicles #hollyblack #tonyditerlizzi #mgreader #mgbookstagrammers #mgbooks #mglit #ireadmg #middlegrade #middlegradereads #middlegrade #kidlit #kidlitblogger #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookphoto #booksofinstagram #bookinstagram #bookinsta #readersofinstagram #amreadingmg #amreading
