Hey Creative Besties! 💛 I just dropped a brand-new YouTube video, and we are officially getting some COLOR into this house! 😂 If you saw my last video, you know I shared my plans to start transforming my home room by room as part of this new chapter of Start Creating Again. Well… we’re not just talking about it anymore. The bedroom makeover has begun! In this episode, I’m testing paint colors, taking you along to the paint store, getting that first color on the walls, sharing some of my ideas for the room, and even beginning an original piece of artwork that will eventually become part of the space. But underneath all the paint and decorating, there’s something bigger happening for me: I’m learning to stop playing it safe and trust my own creativity again. And because you all are my creative community, I would really love your feedback. ❤️ When you watch, tell me: How are you liking this new vlog/documentary style of the channel? What did you enjoy most about this episode? And is there anything you’d like to see more of as I continue the home transformation? 🎥 Watch the new episode here: My Bedroom Makeover Begins | I’m Finally Choosing Color⁠ https://youtu.be/FmOlq0OsXPY?is=pQEgBapxCWtJBHip&views And maybe this is your little reminder today: you don’t have to know exactly how it’s all going to turn out before you start creating. 💛 — Meka

Can I ask you something? Do you ever feel like you're trying to force a creative routine that just doesn't fit how YOU actually create? Like you're following someone else's process and wondering why it feels so hard? Here's what I've learned — not everyone creates the same way. Your creativity has a personality. And when you understand it, everything gets easier. That's why I created the Creative Archetype Quiz 🎨 It's a free 5-minute quiz that helps you discover your unique creative style — your strengths, your challenges, and exactly how to channel your energy into consistent, joyful creative expression. There are 4 archetypes: 🟠 The Connector — You create for connection and shared experience 💜 The Seeker — You create through curiosity and exploration 🌕 The Creator — You create to bring bold ideas to life 🔥 The Fearless Phoenix — You create through transformation and emotional depth Which one sounds like you? 👀 👉 Take the free quiz here and find out Once you get your result, come back and drop your archetype below! 👇🏽 I want to see which archetypes are showing up most in our community — and it's such a beautiful way for us to get to know each other on a deeper level. 💖 — Meka

Cooler days invite us to soften and slow down. Build a cozy page one simple mark at a time. Ingredients: - Art journal or sturdy paper - Black pen - 3 colors of markers or crayons - Yellow or gold marker or crayon - Ruler or straight edge, optional - Washi tape, optional Directions: 1. Draw four loose horizontal bands across your page. 2. Fill the first band with wavy lines, the second with dots, the third with zigzags, and the fourth with loops. 3. Repeat the marks until each band feels full. Let them stay uneven. 4. Add color to each band, repeating your favorite color in two places. 5. Trace a few marks with black pen and add short dashes that look like stitches. 6. Write the quote in an open space. Add one strip of washi tape if you like.

Today I followed a free class with pastels. I never used it before. I was some 2 hours busy if no more. I was so proud of the outcome. Took pictures (Thank God🙏) to send to my children. I wanted to put in my journal. I thought pastel will erase, so I took spray that you use to protect paintings. The worse thing happened, everything went black. I share here the pictures. I said to myself: " Never happened to me something like this before, after I finished a project, but that's life, I won't be frustrated". I drew very quickly something on top of the page just to make the energy of disappointment flow. Then I printed the drawing so I can still keep it as a reminder. I really felt like: " When things go wrong just continue to flow". At least I made the experience. I can always come back and draw with pastels something intuitive. But to tell the truth, if it erases so quickly it's not my cup of tea.🤣 By the way, if someone knows what you put on top to protect I'll be happy to learn.❤️
