Self-Love Rainbow (Dominee)

A square white note is pinned to an orange background with colorful confetti, stars, and hearts. The note reads: “It’s not too late to make a beautiful life for yourself. Please don’t give up on that.” The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

It’s never too late to start over. Even if it feels far away, little steps forward matter. You haven’t missed your chance - even if it looks different from what you once wanted. You can still find love, happiness, fulfillment, purpose.

A cute cartoon troll with brown skin, big black eyes, and tall purple hair stands smiling on a bright blue background. A pink gem glows on its belly, and white stars sparkle around it. Next to the troll, black text reads: “Your weirdness is part of what makes you wonderful.” The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow.”

Here’s to the quirks, the weirdness, and all the parts of you that make you unforgettable. What’s your favorite “weird” thing about yourself?

I used to write a ton of Soap Opera based Fanfiction (Passions, General Hospital, and All My Children) and I feel like it made me a pretty great writer. 🤭

A festive illustration with a background of pumpkins, black cats, ghosts, witch hats, candy, spiderwebs, and stars on a purple backdrop. In the center, a large green heart contains the bold text “HAPPY OCTOBER.”

A purple background with small stars and hearts. A black witch’s hat with a blue band sits in the bottom left. Above it, rainbow-highlighted text reads: “May this new month bring you the perfect weather for fuzzy sweaters, a pumpkin just the right size, and many moments of warmth, love, and comfort.” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow.”

HAPPY OCTOBER. Here’s to cozy sweaters, perfect pumpkins and an amazing AMAZING month for you.

A cute cartoon platypus wearing a space helmet floats in a starry blue sky with planets and stars around it. Beside the platypus, the text reads: “I hope the universe gives you so many reasons to smile today.” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

I hope the universe surprises you with unexpected moments of joy and happiness today. (Also - I hope you drink water, remember your meds, and have an awesome lunch!)

A bright pink background with small purple heart doodles. In the center, two stacked sheets of paper are illustrated, with the top page showing the text: “Their expectations are not your goals.” A yellow pencil lies across the top of the paper. The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

The pressure to meet everyone else’s expectations can be crushing. But their goals don’t have to be yours.

A cute cartoon black cat with big brown eyes and a small yellow crescent moon on its forehead sits against a pink background. Around the cat are small yellow stars and a moon. Beside it, the text reads: “You are brave and capable and you can get through this.” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

Some days feel heavier than others.

: A colorful cartoon lunchbox with rainbow and cloud designs is open to reveal a notebook page with a message that reads: “You are doing an amazing job today. I’m so proud of you! Don’t forget to eat lunch!” Next to the lunchbox is a matching thermos and a pencil. Stars, hearts, and sparkles are scattered around the white background. The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

This is your reminder that you don’t need to “earn” care. You deserve food, rest, and kindness just for existing. So eat your lunch, drink your water, and know that I’m proud of you.

A cute cartoon raccoon sits smiling against an orange background. Beside it, a yellow banner reads “Trash Panda Reminders.” Below are self-care reminders with little heart icons: Get enough sleep or take a nap Do what makes you happy Eat something delicious Spend some time outside Drink your water Get creative Be cute The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

Some days we need the raccoon-approved basics: rest, snacks, hydration, and being a little cute. None of these things fix everything, but they help!

Cute cartoon illustration of a Canada Goose standing upright with a happy expression. The background is teal with sparkles, a yellow star, and a blue heart. At the top, it says, “Do you call this animal…” with two options: “A) Canada Goose” and “B) Canadian Goose.” The image is credited to SelfLoveRainbow.

Okay, one of my Patrons asked me to doodle a Canada Goose - *Canada* Goose - since when is it called that? 😂😅
I’ve been calling these Canadian Geese my whole life. So now I have to know… what do YOU call them? A) Canada Goose or B) Canadian Goose?

Two colorful spiral-bound 2026 self-care planners are displayed on a lavender background with yellow star doodles. One planner has a bright blue cover labeled “2026 Witchy Self-Care Planner” with illustrations of stars, hearts, and moon phases above a rainbow. The second planner has a turquoise cover labeled “2026 Self-Care Planner” with stars, hearts, and a rainbow above clouds. Both covers note: “A daily planner filled with journaling prompts, self-care ideas, cute doodles, encouraging messages, & more.” The bottom of each planner says “12-Month Planner, January 2026 – December 2026.”

Back in 2013, I made the very first version of the Self-Care Planner. It's full of journaling prompts, reminders that you're doing better than you think, self-care ideas, and of course, lots of doodles.
I am so so proud of it this year!

A cute cartoon manatee stands with a gentle smile on a purple background. Next to it is a large speech bubble decorated with stars and a heart, containing the text: “We don't give people enough credit for healing the relationship they have with themselves. It's often a difficult and lonely journey. Every step in the right direction is something to be proud of. Every toxic cycle broken is worth celebrating.” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

We talk a lot about healing from things, but we don’t always talk about healing with ourselves. About making peace with who we are, especially when it’s been hard to love that person. So if you’re doing that work I hope that you're celebrating it too because it is SO important.

A colorful illustration of a toucan with a rainbow-colored beak perched on a branch. Above its head is a block of rainbow-highlighted text that reads: “If the only thing you accomplished today was keeping yourself alive – that is good enough. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

Some days survival is the accomplishment. If all you did was keep breathing today, that matters. That’s enough. You don’t have to have big wins every day. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, you wonderful human. You’re doing better than you think. 💛

A cute yellow cartoon snail with a bright blue shell and a rainbow trail smiles against an orange background. Three yellow stars float around it. In a large white speech bubble above the snail, the text reads: “Setbacks are part of the process. Don’t get discouraged – just keep moving forward. You’ve got this!” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

A little snail to tell you that setbacks happen but don't get discouraged!

An illustration of a hand with brightly painted nails holding a purple handheld mirror with a blue reflective surface. Inside the mirror are the words: “You look pretty today!” The background is teal with scattered yellow stars and pink hearts. The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

You look pretty today!

A bright blue envelope with a purple liner is open, revealing a note decorated with a small shooting star. The note reads: “Everything is going to work out. –xoxo.” Above the envelope, text says “A little love note from me to you,” with the word “love” highlighted in green. Pink hearts surround the image, and “SelfLoveRainbow” is written at the bottom.

A little love note from the universe (or maybe just from me) for anyone who needs it. Everything is going to work out. Maybe not perfectly. Maybe not how you expected. But you’ll get through this.

A red and white striped cartoon lighthouse shines a bright yellow beam of light across a teal background. Within the light beam are scattered stars, sparkles, and pink hearts. To the right of the lighthouse, the text reads: “Even when you feel lost your light still matters. Keep shining (even if it's just for yourself).” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

Even when you're feeling lost or invisible, your light still matters. You don’t need to shine for anyone else right now. Shine for you. That’s more than enough.

A purple background filled with stars, planets, a comet, and other space-themed illustrations. In the center, the text reads: “You will get through this.” Below in smaller text: “(Even if right now you don’t feel strong enough, or brave enough, or capable enough. You got this.)” The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

If you need the pep talk, here's the pep talk.

A diagram titled “The Circle of Control” features two concentric circles. The inner circle is labeled “In my control/influence” and is shaded purple. It includes: What I say/do How I choose to react How I spend my free time Who I follow on social media The amount of effort I give How I talk to myself Whether or not I ask for help The outer circle is labeled “Out of my control” and is shaded blue. It includes: The happiness of other people Strangers on social media The weather If others are on time Traffic or wait times What others choose to do/say/believe/value/feel Death and illnesses My past behavior Natural disasters Global political issues The economy The background is white with small hearts and stars, and the artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

I have to remind myself daily that I cannot control traffic, the weather, or what that rando on Facebook thinks of my art. But I can control how I talk to myself while I spiral about it. (mostly kidding!)

A chart titled “Signs of Emotional Abuse” is divided into three color-coded columns. Each column lists several signs: Yellow column: Jealousy over your relationships with others, even with family. Gaslighting or rewriting events to fit a false narrative. Blaming you for things in their life going wrong. Ignoring your boundaries. Humiliating and berating you (in public or in private). Blue column: Threatening to hurt themselves because of you. Blaming you for their actions. Shaming you into not talking about the abuse with other people. Love-bombing you after mistreatment — being extra sweet and loving after being abusive. Everything is at one extreme or another. Purple column: Using guilt or compassion to control you. Their needs are the only ones that matter in the relationship. Nothing you do or say is ever good enough. Constant untrue and unfounded accusations of mistrust. Monitoring your location or digital spying. At the bottom, the image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow.”

Emotional abuse can happen in all sorts of relationships - not just romantic ones. Here are what some of the signs look like.

A collection of colorful cartoon clothing items surrounds a bold message in the center that reads: “Wear what makes you feel cute!” with the subtext: “(and f*ck what other people think).” The clothes include a pink sundress, yellow off-shoulder top, green one-piece swimsuit, rainbow bikini, blue shorts, orange tie-front crop top, and a purple bralette and high-waisted underwear set. The background is white with scattered hearts and stars. The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

Wear the shorts. Wear the crop top. Wear whatever you want. Your body isn’t up for debate and YOUR comfort and happiness is what matters! #bodypositivity

Good morning friends. It’s gonna be an another scorcher here so drink your water and take your meds and put on sunscreen if you’re gonna be outside.

A vertical stack of rainbow-colored rectangles, each containing the repeated phrase “Deep breaths.” from top to bottom. The background is white with soft blue cartoon clouds and small yellow stars scattered around. The colors of the rectangles progress from pink, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple, to lavender. The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

A little nervous system reset. Deep breaths. Again. Again. And again.

A cute chibi-style cartoon of Sailor Venus from Sailor Moon stands on an orange background. She has long blonde hair with a red bow and wears her orange and blue sailor outfit. She’s smiling, winking, and making a peace sign with one hand. A speech bubble next to her reads: “I hope you know how absolutely loved you are.” Yellow and white cartoon stars are scattered around the image. The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

Just a little reminder from the FABULOUS Sailor Venus (and Sailor Moon-obsessed me) that you're wildly, deeply, ridiculously loved. Not because of what you do, but because of who you are.

This has been a public service announcement. Straighten your back and relax your shoulders. You're folded up like a croissant and your lips are dry.
Make sure you drink some water and stay hydrated today, okay?

A sweet cartoon rat with white and brown fur, pink ears, and a long tail stands on a pale yellow background. Above the rat is a large blue heart with the message: “You are not too weird or quirky to be loved. The right people will absolutely adore you.” The artwork is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

You’re not too weird. Or too awkward. Or too anything.
There are people out there who will see your quirks and think: YES. That’s my kind of human.
Your people will adore you BECAUSE you're a little weirdo and that's awesome.
Stay weird. Stay wonderful.

Anyone else impatiently waiting for the new Sims 4 #EnchantedbyNature pack? I want to live as a cute fairy and have a hobbit house. You know, things I can't do IRL.
