my personality board

I just got really into graphic design, and this is my new project!! I call them Personality Boards, a diagram with all your interests and hobbies making up some sort of "workspace". The one above is mine, and i'm currently making some for my friends and family members. The main purpose of this project was to practice making vectors on Adobe Illustrator, but I now realise making these PBs can be used to help me expand my portfolio as well. If you want one made for yourself, by all means, contact me! Comment below your name and a short list of your interests and hobbies, and i'll try my best to make one for you & post it here on my blog by the end of this month. Thanks for helping me expand my portfolio!

P.S. I know it's been a while. Hello again :)

swimsuit season | can you stay up to see the dawn?


Summer is here! in my country, at least. In other countries, summer is fast approaching. Which is why i've decided to put up some sort of a dream swimsuit list. If you're looking for styles to fit your body, shape, or just unique styles, then read on!

What's a swimsuit article without a few beach essentials to start with? Here are some of mine!

First thing's first: if you have a little bit more going on upstairs (like me), Bandeau (strapless) bikinis are probably not gonna work for you. The truth is that no matter how cute they are, your body type just isn't designed to keep them up. Instead, get something with good support and LOTS of cover-up to keep them ninnies in place. Brands like Triangl and Roxy are of the best quality and very supportive. I don't own a Triangl bikini yet myself, but I've tried one on. A little bit on the pricey side, yes, but worth it if you ask me.

If you have a medium to borderline flat chest, then by all means, go for bandeau bikinis! Your body can pretty much support any type of bikini top, but I always adored bandeau bikinis but never have the chance to wear them. Triangl also has one of the best support systems in terms of bandeau bikinis. Lisa Marie Fernandez has some of my favorites as well. If you're looking for one on the cheaper side, check out the H&M or Victoria's Secret swimsuits. I always liked the look of fresh white or pastel colored bandeau bikinis, especially if you're tanner than most. If your skin is really white, I suggest a darker color like navy, red, or black.

If you're not sure about your body type, play it safe: a one piece. I always felt dowdy and childish in a one piece swimsuit, but that's because I didn't really look. Brands like American Apparel and Lisa Marie Fernandez have some top notch cute one pieces. Perfect for a day at a indoor pool, a family-friendly beach trip, or perhaps you're a girl who is just isn't ready to bust out in full confidence in a bikini.
