What day is it?
Maybe it’s just me (and I know it’s not) but even with post-it notes, wall calendars, digital planners, friend check-ins… it’s still difficult to keep track of what day it actually is! I find it somewhat comforting knowing other creatives are feeling the blur also.
Color Story
Daisy Hues
Ah, those comforting golden tones and warm bright spots really set the right mood. Pressing into the glittering aura of summer brings a bit of joy to these monotonous days.
