Do It Your Self Care 5: Autumn Blues is a full-colour, one-page-folded mini-zine about embracing the autumn season.
It’s almost winter here in the land of Oz, but autumn marches gently into winter without the snow to mark it, so it all blends together quite nicely.
Autumn Blues opens with Nina writing about the sadness that comes with saying goodbye to summer and all the summery activities and events that go along with the season. Then she introduces the zine as a means to help embrace the beauty and the magic of autumn.
We then have lists of lovely autumn-y pleasuress. From cosy activities and events like listening to the rain hitting the windows to comfy clothes and warm drinks. There’s plenty to enjoy about autumn and the cooler months, and this zine provides a gorgeous little reminder of so many of those things.
Even more, this beautiful little zine opens all the way out for dozens more things to enjoy in autumn as well as an additional note from Nina.
I could always go on for days about how much I love Nina’s style. Nina’s handwriting is clear and easy to read. Beautiful autumn and winter blues and reds in patterned backgrounds go perfectly with the mustard yellow paper pieces the text pieces are written on.
Do It Your Self Care 5: Autumn Blues is a beautiful zine in both aesthetics and intentions. It can be easy to lose yourself in the blues of the colder seasons. It’s so nice to have a reminder of all the wonderful things that come along with it. It’s another lovely addition to the series, and definitely one to pick up.
