My name is Nicki Traikos, I am a work-from-home Mom, who loves the chaos of 2 kids, a puppy, and a hubby! I am an artist, writer and lover of all things inspirational. I am a professional makeup artist and a bit of a makeup and product junkie {check out my makeup guide here Mango Tango Makeup Guide, Definitive Techniques from the Industry Expert}. I love spending quality time with my family, enjoy being active outdoors and cherish coffee dates with my favorite girlfriends.

Life hasn’t always been this free and flowing of positivity, creativity and sheer joy. But it is now, since I’ve opened myself up to a new way of thinking and living through personal growth and development with a twist! Gone are the days of self-doubt, fear and being unhappy with my business. By creating small shifts each day, I now am living a life full of passion. I spill how I did it and more on this site, as I design my life, and live by my own rules!

I’ll share with you how I juggle the good, the not so good, & even some ugly!! How to use affirmations and gratitude to energetically change your mindset and build a more positive outlook on life and situations. How art can beautify your environment and shift your mood and inspire more creativity in your own life! I share all of this with you, along with fun ideas, random mumblings and my favorite DIY projects.

I hope you join me in sharing your favorite moments, or not so fav moments, as we live our lives, by our own design!

Candidly yours!

Nicki xo
