What’s your favourite hot drink in the studio? I love a coconut cappuccino, and at christmas I love to ramp up the nutmeg and cinnamon. What’s yours? Although I’m ready for a mulled wine now are you? ✨🍸🎄

What’s your favourite part of Christmas?
Mine isn’t actually the obvious, it’s the silliness and love we get from the non family.
Milk man sang ‘wish it could be Xmas everyday’ to my kids this morning.
Some work men on the street started doing a break dance and I high fived loads of kids at this beautiful school today. The market holders on Xmas eve (I always go and see that on that day, so much fun!)

I don’t care if you’re religious or bah humbug. I think we can all agree that to have these celebrations with all religions and communities stay strong thousands of years later across the world shows us all how much humans need laughter connection and joy.
Yes i’m feeling it now.

🎄BRING IT ON MOFO’s 🎄

Christmas kisses to you ❤️

Allow yourself to be proud of yourself and all the progress you’ve made. Especially the gains that no one else can see. Keep grinding you’ll never reach perfection, but you’ll have great fun trying.

I keep seeing a lot of new followers so I thought I better introduce myself.
I’m Emma Isaacs a mummy to two wild under 8’s who think sleeping is a joke.
I’m a surface pattern designer, a creative mentor and coach and a podcaster!
I’m extremely proud and grateful that ‘creative ways podcast’ has repeatedly got to top 2 and 3 on Apple charts!
I love to talk about design all day, so this last part was made for me!
I’m not going to tell you what I love…
Instead what I hate and it’s this….
Hearing creatives give up on themselves.
Finding out that extremely talented mamma decided it was selfish to work on her passion.
Or worse still, hearing that she went for one job after uni, didn’t get it, so didn’t ever try again.
I believe so deeply that if we all actually concentrated on our talent we were made for instead of obsessing about the jobs we aren’t in love with - well forget being happier, I honestly believe we would be healthy to the core!
So as you can see this is my why and it’s more than that, its what keeps me up late and its why I’m always here to serve anyone who is struggling.
I’m adopted, ADHD, and I’m dyslexic, so trust me girl, I get it.
Now please keep getting back up, because we all need your gifts to the world 💗✨
