Introducing... the I Love Crying bandana 💦 !! Available now!

Desperate times call for stylish accessories. Anyone else soaked thru the usual tissues, boring bandanas and cumbersome buckets with their tears? Ready to take your crying to a new level? This bandana understands your pain, cuz it was forged from pain, baby! 🪄

In all realness this year has been a devastating mess, I've gone thru my fair share of tissues. Maybe you have too. But one good thing I learned about crying is that emotional tears carry stress hormones like cortisol out of your body, which is partly why it makes you feel better. I was tickled by the idea of a bandana that said I love crying, just simply owning the fact. Its natural, and it somehow keeps happening at really cool times. Why not? So this is what I came up with

▶️ 3 color combinations available to choose from: red, teal and natural (offwhite) or get the BUNDLE OF ALL THREE for a deal! These bandanas are cotton and silkscreened by a women owned small biz in Cali.

🎄Would make an excellent Christmas present for your favorite sensitive soul.

They're available in my store, linked below Support a small business. Share freely. Thank you! ❤️

🚨Vulnerability alert🚨 an illustrated life update

[TLDR: I'm going thru a prolonged illness right now. I'm still taking on mural & design jobs as I wade through the healing process and I've got a great team of artists that are helping me fabricate artwork in the studio & onsite these days, so L Star Murals forges forward :):) ]

Long story long, this year has been really tough healthwise. As some of you know, I've been experiencing intense symptoms and looking for answers w/countless doctors & tests since March. I had to step away from work for a few months to find the right medical help & to rest and focus on healing. As a small business owner this is of course very financially challenging. I'm working very soft hours these days and hoping to build back to a more robust schedule as soon as I'm able 🙏

I'm dealing with highly reactive MCAS & SIBO most likely caused by some past mold toxicity (+ antibiotics + stomach bug + who knows what else.) There have been days I could barely walk, barely breathe, had hives, allergies to 99% of food, fire arms, anaphylaxis, chest pain, hormone instability, digestive pains, felt like I was getting electrocuted, blurred vision, dizziness, anxiety, brainfog, bone and muscle pain, acid reflux, tinnitus, and the list goes on. In other words, a walk in the park!

I'm in the tenuous process of stabilizing myself for the next phase of the healing journey when I'll introduce new meds. I've been focusing on somatics, vagal toning, brain retraining, emdr, etc and it has helped me conjure hope and gratitude in this time. Hope is my north star as I rebuild myself on the cellular level. L Star 2.0 baby!

During the past few months I started processing this experience visually. These b&w drawings are kinda simple but hold a lot for me cuz I started them when I was homebound and extremely sick w/zero hope. I have gradually amended them as things developed to reflect where I'm at in real time. I felt compelled to share (😬😬😬) hoping maybe they'll reach a few others who have also been struggling, but in the least I hope it explains whats been going on & why we haven't hung out in a while. 💋✌️

Popped over to Coachella earlier this spring where we tackled this baby over a whirlwind weekend (Fri 5pm - Sun 6pm!!) This was a fun challenge, working around a distinctive 100 year old bank vault door & wood paneling, and installing the mural after hours to be completed by Monday morning. Grateful to Mechanics, especially Karyn, for another incredible project!! So fun to work with, I hope we can create some more magic together✨️

Thanks to the coffee & twizzler fueled team who brought their A game as always .nella

Gratitude post for 13 years of running this mural biz fulltime! What a time! What even is time?! All I know is that it has definitely paid in dividends far greater than money 🫶

I'm so grateful I get to paint murals for a living. I love being an ambassador of color; brokering deals with hues and light. Yes, I'm out in the sun, it gives me wrinkles and makes me sweaty and dirty with countless broken sunglasses but its still my favorite thing. Plus I get to meet and work with other artists, creatives, schools, and companies who believe in art that is lovingly made by hand. By humans!

Life as a freelancer is not easy, but one of the perks is that we have the freedom to adjust and pivot our businesses as we grow and change. I've been tapping into my purpose in some very unexpected places lately and I'm excited to see where this all takes me next. Viva la paint!
