If your life was your greatest work of art,
how would that change how you live?
How would you spend your days?
Who would you spend them with? Where would you live?
What would you learn? What would you create?
What risks or adventures would you take?
If your life was your greatest work of art,
what would that life look like and feel like?
The beauty of life is you can choose how to live your life,
from the tiny details to the big picture
You have the power to design and redesign
every facet with intention
until it becomes a life that you absolutely love
that feels completely true to yourself
The power of the artist of life
is to turn any idea, any dream into reality
If you had such power, why wouldn't you use it
to create a beautiful life
in alignment with your truest, happiest,
most fulfilled self?
The only limit is your imagination
The more you can envision,
the more you can create
Every choice in life becomes a creative decision
that contributes to your masterpiece
Does this fit my vision?
Do I want this? Do I like this?
This creative process
is our biggest collaboration with the divine
It is a dance where we take turns leading and being led,
watching the masterpiece unfold
There's a magic that goes into creating this masterpiece
It is created from the heart
through inspiration, passion, and flow
This creative process lights up our soul
It's what we're meant to be doing
Life is an art
It is the ultimate form of self-expression,
your one big chance at creating a living masterpiece,
and you are the artist
holding unlimited potential and power at your fingertips
(gentle music)
All right, my loves. It is time
I am super excited to share
about our new 2024 Artist of Life Workbook
So today I'll share what this is, what's new,
and give you a little preview about what's inside
if you haven't seen it already
So our 2024 Artist of Life Workbook is a guided journal
to help you create your most intentional and successful year
It's filled with 152 pages of questions and exercises
to help you with self-discovery, self-love, goal setting,
and so much more. It's a tool to help you stay focused, on track,
and accountable towards your goals
and in making a positive lasting change in your life
So in short, this workbook will transform your life
and take you from where you are to where you wanna be
So this is actually the eighth edition
of the Artist of Life Workbook
The first version was the 2017 Artist of Life Workbook,
and when I first created this,
the idea was it is a compilation
of all of the exercises and journal prompts
that helped me create my dream life batched into one resource
So everything from how I planned my years,
how I did monthly highlights, monthly reviews,
like gratitude journaling, habit tracking,
all of these self-discovery and self-love prompts
that really helped me, I put it all into one workbook
It's essentially a compilation
of the most impactful exercises and journal prompts
that have helped me in my journey
that I really thought was important to share
So I'm really excited about it
This is just like the heart of Lavendaire
It is so much of what we talk about,
how to be the artist of your own life
and make your life your masterpiece
Over the years, our workbook just keeps
getting better and better in terms of content
and also physical construction. As you can imagine,
the first edition was just not as good quality as this one
Each year, we added a little bit more
or we would, like, tweak exercises, fine-tune things
We give out a survey every year to ask what people like
and what they don't like in the workbook
So literally every year, we're improving this product
so that it just becomes the best that it can be
This is the best workbook that we've ever created
and I'm very proud of it
As you can see, our colors for the workbook this year
are lavender and sage
So this sage is a brand-new color
It's a very muted, greenish, grayish color
that I feel like is neutral but is very beautiful
It matches everything
It just would look good on your desk
And then the lavender is essentially the same color
as the lavender we used in 2020
And clearly, lavender is Lavendaire's flagship color
And so I wanted to come back home to this color for 2024
because Lavendaire was started in 2014
and so I thought it'd be nice
for 2024's workbook to be lavender
because it's essentially 10 years since we started Lavendaire
This also plays into our launch theme for this year, which I love
It is just the life is an art, make it your masterpiece
into a visual theme. This 10-year mark is a great opportunity
to kind of reiterate our brand's mission
and everything that we believe and what we stand for
You know, our mission is to create content and products
to help you become your best self
and create your dream life
and this life is an art,
doing it with, like, literally me as an artist,
it really encapsulates everything that this brand is about
The art, creativity, the florals, the femininity,
and that inspirational feeling
that you can create anything that you want with your life,
and if you don't like anything, you can paint over it,
you can redesign it, and continue doing this for the rest of your life
because your life ultimately is yours
to shape and create endlessly.
I also wanna say how proud I am, not just of this workbook,
but over the years,
we've built such a beautiful and loyal community
around the workbook
That's one of my favorite things,
is just to see pictures and videos
of you guys using the workbook
as well as seeing friends get together
to do the workbook together
We have a bunch of Lavi love groups that meet
For example, our French Lavi love are the best
They meet, like, every month to work on their goals
and keep each other accountable
And we also have our Discord community
and we have our Dream Life Club
where there's a lot of people who are using the workbook
and connecting with each other
to kind of keep each other accountable
I believe to date,
we've sold over 35,000 physical workbooks,
and if you're including the digital workbooks as well,
then it's probably closer to 50,000
So there are literally tens of thousands of people
from around the world who use and love this workbook
If you wanna see what's exactly inside this workbook,
we have a full flip-through video that you can watch on the page
I'll link it down below. But to give you a general idea
of the sections of the workbook,
there is a section where you reflect on the past year,
a section where you plan and envision the new year,
a self-love section, and then there's a big section
where it helps you outline your goals for the new year
in all the different areas of your life
from your health, relationships,
career, money, creativity, and so on
There's a section called "Lessons for the Journey"
that help you with exercises for getting unstuck,
like exercises to overcome fear,
to stop comparison, things like that
And then there's a big section that we call the "Goal Book"
and this is to be used continuously throughout the year
So what it is is quarterly planning, quarterly reviews,
monthly planning, monthly reviews,
habit tracker, and gratitude journal
Once you see the flip through, you'll understand what it looks like
And this is essentially a tool
to keep you focused throughout the year
It's not something that you're meant to, like, look at
or journal every single day,
but it's something to do at the end of the year
or at the beginning of the year,
like, kind of like lay out
what you want your year to look like,
and then as you go on throughout the year,
every quarter, every month, you do a check-in with yourself
where you kind of review like,
"Hey, am I working towards the goals I set
at the beginning of the year?
Am I making progress?"
And then you kind of fine-tune every single month as you go
And I find that this is a really powerful tool
to keep you on track, stay accountable towards the goals
that you set at the beginning of the year,
because most times people set goals
and then they kind of forget about them mid-year
So this is a tool to help you not abandon your goals
and to help you stay on track
Let's talk about what's new in this year's workbook
So every year, we update the quotes and the quote art,
and this year, our quote art pages are exceptionally beautiful,
just the most beautiful art, graphic designs, that we've ever done
We also reimagined the 2024 goals section
So we kind of switched things around
We added two new layouts
One is called my best year
and the other one is the 2024 main goals
Now it's a two-page layout
And then for the other categories of goals,
we kind of updated some of the prompts
I just felt like they needed updating
So it's mainly that section that had the most content changes
and everything else is pretty much the same
because I really like where the workbook is at right now
Another small thing that I'd like to mention
is that our workbook comes packaged
in these beautiful cardboard boxes
We like to do no plastic packaging,
so everything is made of recycled materials, it's recyclable
And these boxes are great for storing your workbook,
keeping it protected,
but it's also great to use as trays to organize your desk
So this is what I use to organize my pens, my post-its
I love packaging that you can reuse. So this is it
And then I also wanted to share
that we updated our stickers for the shop
So if you got our stickers before,
they were on a white backing
and it was just a little hard to peel
And so these are just new and improved stickers
that are easier to peel off and I just think it looks cute
So if you like to decorate, these are new
So if you'd like a workbook for yourself
or if you wanna give some to your friends or family
during this holiday season,
you can shop the workbook here at shop.lavendaire.com.
I'll leave the link down below as well
Finally, I wanna highlight again our Dream Life Club
if you haven't heard of it. If you're looking for a space
where you can get deeper accountability towards your goals,
if you're looking for, like, a supportive,
small, exclusive community,
then consider checking out our Dream Life Club
I'll leave the link down below as well
It's essentially a Discord community
where every week, we share journaling prompts,
we remind you to do a weekly reflection,
and every month, we remind you
to also do your monthly reflection, monthly goals,
to kind of remind you to keep on track with the workbook
And then there's a lot of people
who share their goals in that community,
and you're essentially just working towards your goals together
So not only that, but we also do monthly live events
and it's just a really fun space to connect
So if you want to join or learn more,
you can check it out down below
All right, let me know down below
if you're planning to get the workbook
And which color do you like?
Do you like lavender or do you like sage?
All right, sending you so much love
and I will see you in the next one. Bye!
As a bonus for watching till the end of this video,
I just wanna share my continued progress
of this painting that I started. I might add clouds in the end,
but I also kind of like how it looks now
