Happy New Year! #2016

(I made this artwork with some help from the #ABeautifulMess app!)

Not that a lot of people read what I write here because this blog is supposedly private, however I'll make it public as soon as I publish this. I mean, who really cares anyway? Life is short. If the internet is the medium I choose to express myself then I shouldn't be hiding who I am here too. How are you doing?

I'll admit that 2015 has been rather weird but pretty wonderful too. December went by, in a breeze but the rest of the year seemed to move at its own pace, it matched my own in ways? It was good, it was bad, but I do miss 2015 already. Truly! I'm going to be 29 years old, this year, and it's not worrying but it does get me a bit nervous+excited. It doesn't mean much. Age is but a number, after all.

I wish you the best of the best! Do it all. Nothing like a new year to pump you up with good energy to motivate you to move forward... Shalom.

“Lying in bed with my lover, riding my bike, sports, happy times with my friends, conversation, learning, the earth, dirt, a beautiful repast with friends, family with wine and glorious food and happy tidings and energy and zest and lust for life. I like being in the desert, in nature, being in extraordinary spaces in nature, high in a tree or in the dirt, hanging out with my family, my sisters.”

ICYMI :: july 2015 :: jupiterskye.com

Though I try my hardest (well, sometimes) to make sure everything on jupiterskye.com unfolds like a connected story especially in terms of colours, ideas, products, themes etc. - it does not always reflect so... But I do think my work from July onwards has been tonnes better in the aspects I mentioned above - so here are some stories you might have missed seeing:

SUPER MARIO

Featuring one of the many cards I bought at the Mario Miranda shop in Panjim, Goa (I was there, for less than a week during the month of June).

BLACK COFFEE

This is one of my nicest pieces, even if I have to say so myself! Cleverly slipped in a #LearnToDraw graphic, and waxed poetic on more than a few of my favourite coffee shops in Bombay.

THE COCOA BUTTER SOLUTION

Reviewing the Skin Therapy Oil from Palmer's that I received in my ELLE Beauty Box... I think I might be buying another bottle, soon! Smells incredible, very skin-correcting on the face area, etc.

BREAKING THE HABIT

Dispelling advice on snapping out of it, or simply learning to break bad habits with my two paise, etc.

Ariadne, by Roanna Fernandes

I thought this would be really good to document. It is one of the many things that I liked doing best... Writing stories! Jotting down notes, doodling in my journal, et cetera. Oh, and I prefer writing with gel-based pens. You know... The kind that makes your curves flawless? Or more artistic, I am not sure? I think I pride myself too much on having such ideas. It makes me feel good about myself.

Now that I have decided to make more conscious changes in my life, I feel better. The steps aren't as painful, and my shoes don't pinch my toes as much. It is important to get here, I think... It really is. I believe it so much more now. I see things clearly... Especially on a day like today. This is a token of thanks! Much as I like mazes, it is rather delightful to come out of one - battered, bruised but brighter, brilliant.
