Rate this book
Life is short, so make it whimsical! Wendy Conklin built her chair upholstery hobby into a multi-six-figure brand by breaking conventional rules and tapping into her own creative potential. Now, she’s sharing her strategies in Life Whimsy to help people bring more creativity to the way they think, play, and work.  Filled with inspiring photos and insightful advice, ranging from practical productivity tips to personal reflections about entrepreneurial life, Conklin’s playbook provides the key to unlocking one's creative genius, even if someone feels they have no artistic ability. It shows how to rejuvenate one's mind, body and soul through play, a particularly important concept for serious adults. And it outlines simple methods for infusing creativity into one's profession or business, even for those in a seemingly "uncreative" field. Those with Life Whimsy are empowered to ignite their creativity, infuse their work with fun, and invigorate their life with joy.

Wendy’s book is full of colorful eclectic and fun ideas for life and for your home. The two things should flow together. Break away from boring and safe home decor choices and really let your personality and individuality shine through. Take Wendy Conclin’s ideas and let them inspire YOUR life and your home. Be bold and make it yours.
You will love this book especially if you seek fun and whimsical design, but the inspiration can carry over into many other design styles. The main message is to let your personality permeate your dwelling place and even work place.

An odd book. Pretty, but unreadable fonts.
Very basic creativity advice, branding advice, starting your own business advice. All very basic and general.
Even a couple drink recipes thrown in .
Just a Mishmash.

It is prett , I like the colors and the big flowers and the photography is nice.

It’s eye candy, there’s nothing really in it but pretty pictures.

It makes me think of cotton candy.
