We all sometimes need a nudge to remind us to take better care. Recipes for Self Love is exactly that! A collection of intersectional illustrations by Alison Rachel filled with reminders of how to care for yourself. From talking about body confidence to not being ashamed Alison has left no stone unturned. It is also great to see the real diversity and inclusion in the characters illustrated, truly self-love and care is for everyone!

You can buy Alison’s work in print here on Etsy and follow her great art on Instagram here.

Like so so so. Don't forget that there is NOBODY on this earth like you. You add something so unique to this world and it's beautiful and important. . .#recipesforselflove #youarewonderful #youareimportant #bodypositive #bodypositivity #allbodiesaregoodbodies #selflove #selfcare #loveyourself #smashthepatriarchy #youareperfect #fuckthepatriarchy #effyourbeautystandards #feminism #femme #intersectionalfeminist #feminsta #feminist #zine #illustration #digital #drawing #adobe #design #graphic #art #women #love #yourself

Not everyone's family is a source of love and support. Boundary setting can be extremely difficult, especially with family, but it's important to do in order to protect yourself. . .p.s My French is not perfect #recipesforselflove #youarewonderful #bodypositive #bodypositivity #toxicfamily #protectyourenergy #selflove #selfcare #loveyourself #smashthepatriarchy #youareperfect #family #fuckthepatriarchy #effyourbeautystandards #feminism #femme #intersectionalfeminist #feminsta #feminist #zine #illustration #digital #drawing #adobe #design #graphic #art #women #love #yourself

You feel what you feel when you feel it. Life makes us have so many feels. Your feelings are real and valid, get comfortable with acknowledging and processing them, especially the bad ones. . .#recipesforselflove #feelings #feels #valid #youarevalid #selflove #selfcare #loveyourself #smashthepatriarchy #youareperfect #fuckthepatriarchy #effyourbeautystandards #feminism #femme #intersectionalfeminist #feminsta #feminist #zine #illustration #digital #drawing #adobe #design #graphic #art #women #love #yourself

We pick up a lot of toxic habits from heteronormativity, for example the idea that jealousy is an indication of love or conflict is a sign of passion. The media perpetuates these conceptions and they're pretty dangerous. #selflove #selfcare #loveyourself #heteronormivitity #lgbtq #love #lgbtqplus #feminist #feminism #intersectionalfeminism #zine #femme #illustration #digital #drawing #graphic #art

When you love yourself you are revolutionary, you are strong and independent in thought. Don't believe the lies they tell us to break us down.
