2021 Calendar + January self-care challenge (Patreon)

yeeeeesss! it's finally hereee! my favorite Patreon tradition! 

I've been doing these calendars for (omg) FIVE YEARS NOW! Can you believe this?! And it makes me so happy to spoil you ma loves. You do so much for me; you make me so happy, you allow me to live in Brooklyn, have the dreamiest studio, do art every single day, take time off, have coffee- like, there are not enough calendars in the world that could express how much you do for me and how much you mean to me. 

Having the peace of mind, every month of the year, that I’ll be able to pay rent and food, is priceless <--- I didn't have this feeling growing up as a child and as a teenager, and I didn't have this feeling when I graduated, or moved out of my mum's house or when we moved abroad. So it's not something I take for granted, I feel the luckiest illustrator/artist in the world.

As a small token of my eternal gratitud please find attached down bellow our 2021 Calendar. These are 12 months, letter size, 300dpi (perfect for printing) + moon phases included! 

I know this is kind of obvious but I have to say it: please I beg you, do not sell/profit out of this calendar, do not trace it and put it in your portfolio

Please let me know if the calendar is okay, I double checked the dates a million times but (and this is also our tradition) I always write one or two dates wrong hahaha

Also I'm attaching our January Self-Care challenge! 

about the challenge: I wanted to start the year with the right foot, and since 2020 was trash (and also since I wanna get better at taking care of myself) I thought we could do one nice thing for ourselves every day for January

notes on the challenge: you can tweak and edit all the stuff that you won't be able to do. Example: "wake up without an alarm" <--- I know it's not doable for a lot of you guys, so change the activities around! Maybe you can swap this with a weekend activity or change it to "wear your fav outfit". There's another one: "take a walk without your phone" <-- I'm trying to channel my most mindful self, but of course you can bring your phone in case of an emergency! It's just not checking it and being present :  )

the elephant in the room: every activity is meant to do at home or online if possible, so "meeting a friend" aka. zoom "get a manicure" aka. at home. 

the secret of this challenge: is to write down every activity on your calendar. Seriously. Even if it feels silly writing down "send an audio or text to a friend" it's a nice reminder to do something nice, creates an habit and it holds ourselves accountable.

I'm going to also attach the Self-Soothing list Jeffrey (my awesome therapist) sent me so you can have more ideas! You can always leave more ideas here down bellow or on our Discord Channel :  D

Thank you for keeping me company during such a challenging year for me, guys. I'm so grateful and happy and elated we get to spend another year together : .. )

See you tomorrow for our livestreaaaaam!
