It’s the tiniest rituals that create the biggest shifts. ✨ A candle, a cuppa, ten minutes of colouring… peace is closer than we think. 🌿

If this is your first time here, welcome 💛
Whim & Sage creates whimsical and free-spirited colouring books, and is a sanctuary for wild hearts to pause, colour, and reclaim calm. Each page is a gentle invitation to move at your own rhythm and return to yourself.
With heart,

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is rest 🌿
Hustle culture is the mindset or social pressure of always being “on,” working long hours, and constantly striving for productivity, achievement, or financial gain.
It often shows up as:
Glorifying busyness…
Productivity equaling self worth….
And Sacrificing rest…
Colouring says, “I refuse to measure my value by how much I produce.” It’s choosing creativity, rest, and presence in a culture that glorifies exhaustion. It looks simple, even frivolous to outsiders, but that’s the point. It’s powerfully underestimated, and that’s what makes it quietly radical. 💚

Colouring Book: This page is from my first colouring book ~ every line drawn slowly by hand in my little studio.

If this is your first time here, welcome 💛
Whim & Sage is a little sanctuary for wild hearts ready to pause, colour, and reclaim calm. Each page is a gentle act of self-care, a quiet rebellion against the noise of everyday life. If you’re craving to slow down, breathe, and let creativity guide you back to yourself, you’re in the right place. 🌿
With heart,
Kristy xx

✨🙌This month’s FREE pages are ready and going out soon!
I’m so excited for these beauties, made sure they had room to glow🤩 for this months hashtag theme #letitglow ✨(hosted by the beautiful Sierra @innerbeautybysierra and I, details in on a previous post on my feed)
Oh and a bit of a quick update:
Goodness me.. I know it’s been a little quiet at my end over the last month…😅🥹 It was just one of those months… nothing dramatic…just my back flared up and had me slow right down… couldn’t sit and colour 🫠or at my computer, and honestly just life in general has been a bit busy… so I gave myself the room to step back a bit, do the essentials and simply rest. I’m getting back to normal, which I am so very grateful for 🙏🙌
Hope you’re all doing well 💓
Big big love,
Kristy xx
