happy sunny wednesday everyone! there's my second share of, not-a-must-but-nice-to-add bath products (especially if you take one every day). all natural epsom salt that is so good for the skin & body. did you know that epsom salt is actually not a salt, but magnesium in "salt" form? there are manmade and natural ones--most on the market is chemically produce. i personally like the natural one more, but it is a little harder to find. you should definitely grab some if you do see it! for more tips about wa style, or japanese style bathing for at the onsen (hot spring) or at home, have a look at how to take a wa style bath--available on amazon & blurb. link in bio✨🛁✨ . . . . . . #happywednesday #relaxing #natural #epsomsalt #epsom #magnesium #bath #howtotakeawastylebath #wastyle #japanese #onsen #hotspring #japanesebath #bathing #athome #nourish #wellbeing #selfcare #loveyourself #love #energy #flow #illustrated #book #ebook #tips #funfacts #healthylifestyle #jodisam

it's been almost 5 years since my website received a major overhaul. the last time was back in 2013. i did not just refreshed it with a new template, but decided to redo everything (yes, i redesigned some elements and then copied and pasted all the content over) to give a smoother navigation experience, and a lighter look. am so happy to share you my new site which took me a solid month to create. but there is still much more to do--keep watching this space, as i have more things planned for this little website of mine! www.jodisam.com . . . . . . #new #website #renewal #refresh #digital #online #portfolio #blog #books #love #art #projects #creative #illustration #redesign #newlook #newstart #watchthisspace #paintings #illustrator #daydreamer #writer #newhome #jodisam

am grateful every day that i can do what i do, because it brings me and hopefully, many others true joy. my paintings are like my babies and sadly, i don't often get photos of the new homes of my work once i see them off to their new owners. but, when I do get photos, am even more grateful and humbled. i hand delivered this painting, bubbles--autumn II, soon after I wrapped up my in tokyo, where it now is, hanging in the beautiful living-dining room of its new owners. am so happy that it is a part of their daily lives, and that through it, i am too. i hope that my work will give them lots of positive bubbly energy filled with joy, love and flow!✨✨✨ and of course, thank you to the new owners for giving my work a new home, and for sending me the photos--am so blessed! . . . . . . #bubbles #series #handpainted #painted #grateful #blessed #love #art #positive #energy #flow #newhome #interior #decor #watercolour #watercolor #creative #creativelife #en #zen #canvas #thankyou #jodisam
