At Twinkle Ink, we believe in starting small—tiny sparks, soft pages, quiet spaces. That’s why, before diving into creative routines or cozy tools, we wanted to begin this journey by honoring why we’re here: because creative self-care matters.
And because you matter.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty… like you’ve forgotten what lights you up… or like the world is just a little too loud—this space is for you. Twinkle Ink isn’t just about beautiful books or coloring pages. It’s about giving yourself permission to slow down, to soften, and to reclaim the parts of you that get buried beneath the busy.
What Is Creative Self-Care?
Creative self-care is different from the bubble baths and to-do lists we often associate with wellness. It’s not about productivity. It’s not about achieving something.
It’s about presence.
It’s those small moments of quiet when you let your pen dance across a page. The calm that comes when you blend two colors just because it feels good. The deep breath you take before journaling your thoughts, not for anyone else, but for you.
Creative self-care is the act of connecting with yourself in ways that feel joyful, meaningful, and real. It’s rest that restores—not just your body, but your spirit.
Why We Begin Here
Before we talk about self-care routines, mindful habits, or the books we’re building—I wanted to start here, with the why.
Because in a world that often asks us to perform, hustle, and prove our worth, Twinkle Ink exists to offer a softer alternative. A sanctuary of sorts. One where coloring is not childish—it’s wise. One where journaling isn’t homework—it’s a return to your voice.
This is our foundation: that creative self-care is not an indulgence. It is essential. And this blog, like our books, is designed to help you return to that truth again and again.
You Don’t Have to Be an Artist
You don’t need to be “creative” to benefit from creative self-care. You don’t need fancy supplies, perfectly curated pages, or even a plan. All you need is space to be yourself.
A highlighter and a grocery receipt can be an art journal.
A three-minute doodle can be a reset button.
A blank page can be the most generous thing you give yourself all day.
This blog will guide you into those moments—one small, soothing post at a time.

This Is Just the Beginning
You don’t need to do anything perfectly. You don’t need to be ready or organized or sure.
All you need to do is show up for yourself in small, kind ways.
That’s where the magic begins.

With kindness and care,
Twinkle Ink
