you're enough. oh and also, you're cute
Hii! I’m Janelle, the human behind Poppy & Cow, and the cutie behind me in the picture frame is Joey, my inspo behind it all.
How it started
After losing Joey (my bff and my whole world for 16 years) I went through the worst burnout, anxiety, grief, and depression I’d ever experienced.
While healing, I wanted something that would teach me how to take care of myself again, and also allow me to be a total mess. So what's a creative girl to do, but make it herself. Which brings us to the making of the Self-Care Daily Journal and the start of Poppy & Cow.
I picked the name Poppy (for my Taurus flower) and Cow (for Joey’s favorite toy).
how it's going
As a lifelong creative girl with over a decade spent in the graphic design world, and a love for stationery since childhood, this cozy lil paper brand is my passion project.
Joey gave me comfort, love, and the reminder that I'm enough as I am. My hope is that the cute stationery you pick up here does the same for you.
I hope these journals and planners give you a warm place for your thoughts, your lists, and your scribbles, for whatever season you’re in. Because you’re never too messy, too behind, or too much to deserve care.
PS. Don't forget to take these permission slips:
your work doesn't define your worth
Your value is not contingent on your productivity (I pulled that one straight from the Affirmation Deck)
You deserve good things too
You don't always have to put yourself last to be a good person. You deserve to let other people care for you too.
it's okay to let your inner child out
Adulting is so exhausting. It's okay to have some fun with your inner child and bring more play into your grown-up routines.
