6 Handlettering Tips

-
Hey y'all! I wanted to take some time to give you all some tips for your handletting. I have personally come pretty far in my journey with this. I first began hand lettering when I began bullet journaling a while ago. Here are a few pictures that show my progression throughout the years:






*sorry about the camera quality*
Looking back on my first few monthy spreads, I can just say that they were rough 😂. I'm still not fantastic at it, but I wanted to give you some tips for improving your handlettering skills. Here are a few:

 1. Don't stiffen up your wrist or hand.

 I feel like this one is sort of a given, but it makes a big differance. If you loosen up your wrist and write more freely, you will notice a large differance in your lettering. Your writing will look much less rigid and will appear to flow more freely. Basically, don't bare down too hard. 😂

 2. Feel free to do it in pencil first!

 Even if you aren't a beginner, this is a great thing to do. You can lightly write out the word you are doing in pencil then erase it until you are barely able to see it. Then you can go over it with your pen or marker. It won't show through the actual lettering and serves as a great guide.

 3. Practice! Practice! Practice!

 I don't care how long you have been doing this, practice is always key.  Even though you might not notice an immediate improvement, there will be one over time. 

 4. Practice on one letter at a time.

 Printable practice sheets are you friend!!

 5. Dual sided brush pens are awesome!

 I definetly recomend the Tombow Dual Brush Pens! *not sponsered*. They are great for both beginners and professionals. Crayola Super Tips *not sponsered* are great as well and are a super cheap alternative. 

 6. Try out different styles.

 Try out as many hand lettering styles as you can find (that will actually be pretty hard considering everyone has their own lol). You don't have to stick to just one person's idea of handlettering. Try out multiple, and eventually your style will come to you naturally 😊. 

 I hope that this helped you! Thank you for visiting my blog and God Bless!!

How I feel about the ENTP (as an INFJ)

-
Hey y'all! Today I will be talking about the ENTP personality type. I have a few friends with this type. I am really looking forward to talking about them. There are many things I love about this type and here are a few of them. 1. They are charismatic.  ENTPs are very witty and definitely know how to charm people. They are very good with people and are truly able to hold a crowd. They can be very captivating, which comes in handy while speaking to or with large groups of people. 2. They are very energetic. The ENTPs I know are always full of energy and are super hyper. Their Ne shoots off into a firework of adrenaline when they are faced with things that interest them.  ENTP weaknesses that I personally find difficult to deal with 1. They can be very self absorbed at times As much as I love the ENTP, this bothers me very much. They tend to get wrapped up in themselves and what they want, how they feel, from time to time. They can become very very focused on themselves.

How I feel about the ENFJ (as an INFJ)

Hey y'all! Today I will be disucssing the ENFJ personality type. They are truly great people and make wonderful leaders. I think that this will be a fun type to talk about. They make up about 2-3% of the population, which makes them pretty rare. They are charasmatic individuals who have Fe as their dominant function. These are the things I like about the ENFJ personality type: 1. They are reliable. I know that I can always count on the ENFJs I know. They are always there when you need them. They are always willing to be real with you, even when you don't want to hear it.  2. They are kind. Like I mentioned previously, they are very genuine people. THey are kind to everyone around them and they always seem to have a smile on their face. They are warmhearted, selfless people and I love being around them. They bring out the good in the others around them.  The things that aren't my favorite about the ENFJ.  1. They can be too sensitive.  Now, this is coming from one

The Signs That an INFJ Likes You

-

INFJs are types of people that are either all in or they're not in at all. If one likes you, you can be sure they are very serious about it. It takes me months to think through and convince myself that I have feelings for someone and even then I hardly ever let anyone know for quite some time. INFJs are not very forward people and are generally quite private, so sometimes it can be very hard to tell who they have a romantic inclination for. Here are some signs that an INFJ likes you: 1. We suddenly become very awkward. We are usually not terrible in social situations, but when we like you, our anxiety rises immensely. We only get really awkward if we are around someone we really really like (or if its someone we despise but still want to be polite to...) We also can't flirt worth our lives, which adds to the awkwardness.  2. We remember random facts about you and bring them up later in conversation. It may sound slightly creepy, but I promise it comes from a good place 😂
