So I recently just turned 27 this past February!! Yayy Me!!
So far year 27 has been super different. Honestly, 27 has been a weird age, but I’m only a month in, so lets give it a couple of months. Honestly I feel like year 27 will be filled with lots of creativity weather it’s in the artistic medium, friendships, or however creativity comes alive.
This year I already have amazing trips planned, such as Belize in June, and New York City and D.C. in July. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity and the creative job to be able to travel to amazing places for work.
So with that being said I’ve decided to share with you guys 27 ways to stay creative. Most of these I have also put into use though out my 27 years of life!

Love this list! Reading through it was inspiring 🙂 thanks for the Saturday
Motivation!
Hey Lauren, I like your positivity! We’re the same age so I can totally relate to most of the items on your list. What I’ve always found useful is to carry around a notebook for quick sketching, weird ideas, funny thoughts and many more. There are just so many opportunities with one white piece of paper 🙂
#22 Allow yourself to make mistakes and don’t compare yourself are my biggest hurdles. Thanks for the reminder!
