We feature an original illustration by the wonderful Mari Andrew every Friday morning.
P.S. Awkward run-ins, and when to get to the airport.

I would also add, “Eating only half a Ritter Sport chocolate bar and saving the other half for the next day (but never my husband!).”
I was reading this on the tube and the doors started beeping, and this guy leapt through the doors. He was so proud of having made the train that he actually beamed around the carriage for someone to say well done.
I hope you did say Bravo! So funny!
How about remembering to:
1) Carry restaurant leftovers out of the restaurant;
2) Take the leftovers into the house (ahem, not leaving them in the car);
3) Put the leftovers in the refrigerator after getting them into the house.
I have failed, multiple times, at each of these steps. The food-coma after a good restaurant meal clearly is a struggle!
I love how small and achievable these tasks are! I’ve been trying to get into the habit of adding small new good habits each month and so far they are sticking. Of course I really should have been in habit of doing such things as washing my face and making my bed and putting away clothes/jewelry as an adult, but they still feel like great accomplishments. #itsthelittlethings

great, feeling ashamed… hahha..
This must be the best one yet! <3
This is the story of my life! I always give myself props for putting lemon in my water. So crazy how lazy I am! Love this!
Sowing an herb and greens garden on time (like, before July) is my whole pie chart this week!
Glad to have you back, Mari! Sending you lots of strength on your recovery. XOXO from Toronto.
Taking off my makeup before bed… and moisturizing!!!
yes, agreed!!
I love emailing back immediately!! Probably need to floss more….
xx, Hannah
I email back immediately, too, and I think it might drive people crazy.
Putting lemon in my water! Haha! I hate how true that is.
Also: writing a grocery list
ALSO: remembering to bring my grocery list to the store
WASHING MAKEUP BRUSHES! Agh who does this!!?
I do and I like doing it! Seeing the colour wash out feels strangely satisfying…!
Love these every time. So happy to have you back, Mari!
Washing my bras, haha! Need to do that more…
Only three things would make up my pie chart. Get up, not miss my train though I drove half way there to park in an almost full garage that I have a paid space in. No never remember which made me waste a meltdown in the fear that I may be late. If i am late then it means the third thing will not happen which is getting my iced espresso in a not so long line. Three things, so hard . But that’s my pie chart of proud things lol
Remembering to bring lunch to work.
Doing laundry before you run out of underwear.
Putting your driver’s license back in the same spot.
Washing my bras! Ha. All of her illustrations are so on point it’s scary. I love her Instagram, too!
So on point! My disproportionately large wedges would be “choosing water over diet coke” and “exhibiting patience in parenting practices.” Pretty much my whole pie chart right there…
Hahahaha, YES to washing my bras. When I finally bought a fancy bra, the saleswoman told me to wash it after every wear and I had to try really hard not to burst out laughing in her face.
washing bras the right way*** i always just ruin mine by tossing them with my other laundry when im lazy ;|
Washing my bras should get a much bigger piece of the pie if you ask me!
Emailing back immediately, that thing I do in my wildest dreams…
I feel so proud- I use my blender every day!
xo, brittany

Flossing period. *Makes mental to purchase dental floss after work.*
haha!
Hilarious and totally relatable!
Absolutely on board with the size of the “unexpected good hair day” piece. So much pride on those days ;)
Adorable!
Mari is so good. We all deserve major props for using our blenders. That is a pain in the butt.
Yes! I dislike washing the blender – I try to only use it when I’m close to needing to run the dishwasher so I can throw it in.
Tip I just came across on the internet recently: once you’re done blending something, rinse immediately, put a little dish soap and water in and turn the blender back on. It washes itself!
This, of course, doesn’t work perfectly with everything, but I use my blender mostly for smoothies and for that it does the trick really well. I only unscrew it to wash all the bottom bits every once in a while (read: practically never).
I love that Mari exactly knows me. Incredible.
“good unexpected hair day” could be 50% of my pie chart. love this, mari.
