1️⃣ A Mariah Carey song ft. Snoop Dog from the year 2000 that was stuck in my head the whole time I created this lettering. ⁣
⁣
Side note: It also happens to be one of my favorite songs to belt in the car. If you’re riding with me, we’re doing carpool karaoke! 🎤⁣
⁣
2️⃣ A person who sheds tears frequently or readily. ⁣
⁣
A.K.A. Me any time anything even remotely emotional or heart-warming is on TV (including commercials). One of the Season One episodes we watched of For All Mankind this week had me all 😭😭😭.⁣

Outside of lettering, one thing I’m really passionate about is health + wellness.⁣
⁣
I’ve been working out regularly since I was a teenager, but my first barre experience is kicking my butt! I turn 40 this Fall so that’s a pretty long time. 😜⁣
⁣
I’m in the middle of week two of the Barre Blend program with @elisejoanfitness and I’m loving every challenging, sweaty second.⁣
⁣
Have you ever done a Barre workout? ⁣
⁣
I usually like to get my workout done first thing, but today I spent all morning getting some time-sensitive lettering work done first.⁣
⁣
Now, it’s time to take a break and hit the barre! ⁣
⁣
P.S. You can find a free Procreate video tutorial on this lettering style on my blog and YouTube. It’s called the “Patchwork Quilt Lettering Style Tutorial”.⁣

Have you ever visited to Charleston, SC? ⁣
⁣
I absolutely adore living here…most of the year. (If you want to see photos of why it’s so dreamy, pop over to my @dawnnicoleblog account.)⁣
⁣
But we’ve reached the time of year when stepping outside is akin to stepping into a sauna. ⁣
⁣
The air is so ridiculously thick with humidity, your skin feels sticky the instant you walk outside. Unless I’m working out, I hate being sweaty.⁣
⁣
My hair also frizzes uncontrollably all Summer. Luckily, I’m a hat person. I think I might own more cute hats than I do shoes!⁣
⁣
Temperate weather is my favorite. I love 50s-70s temps and low humidity. So during the month’s of June-August, I find that the best way to experience Charleston is from the water. ⁣
⁣
Whether it’s the ocean or the pool, water is about the only place you’ll find me outside until Fall. ✌🏻🧜🏻‍♀️💖⁣

Be good. Do good. 💞⁣
⁣
If you missed it, I did a free 32-lesson Modern Folk Art Florals Procreate Series last month on my YouTube channel. ⁣
⁣
There’s a video lesson for each one of these cutesy florals (all created using my latest Procreate Stamp Kit). ⁣
⁣
Most of the tutorials are just 5-10 minutes long so it’s easy to complete one a day. 🙂⁣

Some gave all. 🇺🇸❤️💙 ⁣
⁣
Today we pause to honor and remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Military. 🙏🏻⁣
⁣
“Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops and once a year Memorial Day ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well.” -Jennifer M. Granholm⁣
⁣
That last part is worth repeating.⁣
⁣
“We honor the dead best by treating the living well.”⁣
⁣
May your day be filled with gratitude, fun, and treating each other well.
