In October, I celebrate a lot of things. It’s a joyful month, which also marks the beginning of the holiday season. The busiest time of the year. I think it is the same in every field of work. It’s funny that we’re talking about the end of the year, but we’re not actually ready to face another end of the year. So, here’s a couple of things that I found at the beginning of October.
At the end of September, MailChimp announced their newest re-brand. I use MailChimp as my e-mail marketing provider at Kawung Living, so I’m quite familiar with their branding. They used a lot of colorful colors and always keep their iconic Freddie the Chimp in a good way. At first, I thought the 17 years old company doesn’t need a rebrand whatsoever. But after seeing what Collins did to the company website and element, I know what MailChimp sees in the future. The marketing provider is growing and now aims for small businesses and brands. Their latest campaign tells a statement: Growing Up Doesn’t Mean to Buttoning Up. That’s why they suddenly getting the Yellow color (which I totally love) and all the quirky illustrations. I love seeing weird designs in a tech company! See more of the rebrand here.
October obviously start with INKTOBER! I always envy people who can do a consistent thing to do something every day. The discipline and the determination are something to be envied of. I mean, I don’t even write every day in this series #31postsfor31 :)) Here are a few Indonesian artists which I love to follow in the Inktober journey.

October 3rd is Mean Girls’ Day! It’s fun to know that this year, October 3rd also come on Wednesday (because on Wednesdays, we wear Pink!). I wrote about this movie as one of the movie that I will watch again and again. Not a few weeks ago, I re-watched it with my husband and he loves it! I think we need to appreciate more of the movie by re-watching it again and again :))
I don’t know if anyone into this, but I love a quirky and witty 404 Error Pages.
For those of you who want to try a discipline challenge to do something every single day, but finding Inktober is too intimidating, I want to recommend the 31 Days Intuitive Journaling Challenge by @beradadisini. I always love Hanny’s writings and I think the exercise can really bring your honest feelings in words. I understand putting a feeling in words is never easy, so I really recommend it to anyone who hardly feels listened most of the time.
Until next day :)
