Creativity matters to me...a lot.

I delight in including encouraging quotes on the inside of Reverie + Felicity Studio candle lids to inspire your creative moments.

On social media, I share my creative pursuits and even my creative spaces with you.

And, in my emails to Reverie + Felicity Studio Insiders, I share what has been sparking my creativity in the hopes they might help others unlock their creative potential.

Today, I want to share a few of the creative books that are currently on my nightstand. These are books that got my gears turning, ignited my motivation, and stretched my thinking about what it means to be a creative being living in the modern world.

Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
by Elizabeth Gilbert 

In Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert shares abundant creative permission at every turn. It was a wake-up call for me, and it changed the way I think about prioritizing creativity in my days.

Conscious Creativity
by Phillipa Stanton 

Conscious Creativity is all about changing your perspective, slowly but surely. I love how Phillipa Stanton asks you to stop and engage your curiosity so you can connect more deeply with your creative practice.

Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World
by Eve Rodsky 

Find Your Unicorn Space is all about cultivating creativity in your daily life. Eve Rodsky posits that when we're able to connect with our creativity, our entire selves, families, and communities are better for it.
