Days In My Life As An Illustrator Vlog ☕️ Cozy Illustrating Days, Shop Prep & Reading

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

Hello friends, today I am sharing a few days in my life as an illustrator vlog! I am happy to announce that I will be opening up my art shop soon and with that there is a lot of illustrating and shop prep. I filmed a few days in my life as an illustrator which in this vlog there is mostly a lot of product designing before the actual production of it. I hope that you enjoy a few subtle cozy moments in my life. xx Kim Please help me reach my goal of reaching 5,000 subscribers this year by engaging with my videos & subscribing! I would really appreciate it! 🫶

Yes would totally love to see journal/ planner videos as well! Im sorry about the lay off, thats hard to go through even if it’s not your main income or focus. I love your videos and style! I’m totally living vicariously through you and your magical illustrator work 🥰

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

I’m so glad many folks have been mentioning that they would love to see more planning & journaling videos! I am definitely already planning some videos! 🤗 And thank you for the kind comment. I’m definitely taking this as a sign to keep going in what I am currently doing with YT & my art shop 🫶🏼🍂

this was MEANT TO BE! the universe said you have the talent now you just need the time!! 🫶🏼 i’m so excited for you and your art shop! i’m ready to buy it aaallll! and a stationary line in the future!? that’d be so incredible!!🖤✨ i’ve recently been thinking about what my next big goal will be, a little gift/trinket shop of my own kinda sounds fun?? who knows 😂

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

Yeah it was super random too lol I didn’t see it coming. The Universe said “nope not today” a blessing in disguise. Okay a trinket shop would be sooo cute! My sisters and I have always wanted a vintage/bookstore/ coffee shop lol definitely want to live in my Ghost Whisperer era 😅

[@SahbaMobini23]

Excited for your shop😍! My biggest goal right now is to adopt a cat, so I'm trying to save money and cat proof my apartment!

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

Aww I love that! 🥹 pets truly make the best companions. Thank you for watching! ☺️🫶🏼☺️

[@SheilaJoy]

I am sooo behind on videos lol but wanted to say I’m sorry to hear about the job layoff and am sending you well wishes as you focus on KZbin and your shop! And thank you for the shoutout and support. You are so appreciated, Kim! 🧡

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

Thank you, Sheila. Appreciate you! Truly a believer that things happen for a reason. Hoping for the best! ☺️🫶🏼

[@Epona1712]

I would love to see some journaling and planning content! I like your videos.

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

That’s great to hear! I’ll definitely plan it then! ☺️🫶🏼

[@Epona1712]

​@@itskimberlyrodriguez That would be so lovely! I like seeing how other journalers and planners make their pages and spreads.

Hello Friend tfs . . I love stationery too !!! I'm finally going to my first Daiso this week (grand opening was this past weekend) I love gel pens notebooks stickers postcards anywho I hope you have a great week ahead take care 🐾🐶♥️🙋‍♀️🍁🌻🍂🌺📚

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

Hi there! Oh you’re going to have a blast at Daiso! I love going there! They have the cutest stationary at affordable prices in my opinion. I have a set of glitter gel pens that I absolutely adore! Thank you so much for watching! ☺️🫶🏼

[@marsrocks4068]

Yay! Excited for more content. Love your videos. They're the coziest.

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

I’m so glad you’re excited for more content. I was nervous about it at first as I didn’t want to bombard you guys with content either lol 😅

[@janetudart4685]

My goal - a very lofty goal - is to write a book of haiku. And stationery sounds fun! One thing I look for from time to time is a downloadable monthly desktop calendar. An artist I followed years ago put up a new one on her blog every month. They were very cool. Maybe an idea for you? ❤❤❤

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

A writing goal is always an amazing goal! I have a similar one but mine is a graphic novel 🍂 I love the idea of making a monthly desktop calendar! I think it’s perfect considering I am working on redoing my website and adding all kinds of fun things to it. Thank you for the suggestion! ☺️🍂🫶🏼

[@SellatheHermit]

Wishing you well, Kim! Sorry about the lay off, and I'm excited for more cozy videos and your art shop! Your videos are so good for my nervous system. I'm currently working on my writing..who knows maybe it will be a book. I'm just returning back to my first childhood love..writing.

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

Thank you so much for the kind comment. 🫶🏼 I’m definitely taking this as a sign to continue working on my art shop and producing cozy videos for my community here ☺️🍂 I love that you are working on your writing. I find that investing in our dreams even if it’s a little a day, goes a long way. A little writing a day, can most definitely be a book, one day 🤞🏼

[@morganinwanderland]

I just started A Witch in Time today too😁Enjoying it so far. Best of luck on the art shop endeavors!

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

That’s awesome! I’m also enjoying it. I’m about 60% into the book and I’m still hooked. ☺️

[@juliasofia613]

Yay you're opening your shop again! how exciting! 😍 very cozy vlog 🍂🕸️ My slow mornings look similar, I'm drinking chimarrão and read a book 📓 As for my future goals, I can't name a specific goal, but I wish that in everything I do, I prioritize my own self worth and not what society expects of me or thinks I should be doing🖤 And it would be so cool if you had your own stationary line!😍

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

I am officially opening up my art shop this October! I cannot wait. I’ve never heard of chimarrão but it sounds absolutely amazing! Is it a seasonal drink? In my household we drink Atole for the holidays! A warm cinnamon and vanilla drink.So yummy! I love what you mentioned for your future goals, Julia. It’s always important to prioritize ourselves because without our own well being in mind, we have nothing. We are the most important thing now and going forward. Thank you for the reminder ☺️🫶🏼

[@juliasofia613]

@@itskimberlyrodriguez Chimarrão is a traditional brazilian drink/tea ☺️ I just looked up Atole and it looks so delicious!

I am glad I can add a little upliftment to your life. 🫶🏼🥹 I hope your day gets better!

[@daniela.escamilla]

I’m so sorry you were laid off Kim, but I’m glad you are being monetized now and can make some income off KZbin and your creative endeavors which I know is your passion! My goal is to get to that point one day too ❤

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

Thank you, Daniela 🫶🏼 I find it a blessing in disguise lol I’m trying to stay optimistic about the situation. If I can do it, so can you! I’m rooting for you, friend! ☺️

[@na_pauli]

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

I’m wishing you so much luck in university! ☺️🫶🏼 thank you for watching!

[@wonderlostreading]

I am working on a book youtube right now I would love for it to grow. Right now I am at 5 followers and I was hoping that 2 months I would have a few more than that. So my goal would be 25 by New Years.

[@itskimberlyrodriguez]

That is an amazing goal! I am wishing you the best of luck with your booktube! For me, it has been one of the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done ☺️🫶🏼
