Making Costumes as Self-Care

Have you ever engaged in an activity that consumed your mind body and spirit? There are some activities that you must engage in on a daily to ensure your sanity and peace. Well, costuming and creating new designs for my Etsy shop, Sambista Fashionista, positively consumes me, and contributes to my emotional wellbeing. I won’t lie and say that sometimes multiple orders aren’t stressful, but once they are shipped, I feel like a million bucks.

Having a creative mind and bringing your creativity to fruition is a dopamine rush that never gets old. As you work on your projects, you are mesmerized that you created something that is uniquely a product on your own mind.

Alrighty fashionistas, its Sunday and this fashionista wants to get a little sun by the beach before shipping these orders out. If you have any occasion that requires a Sambista Fashionista costume, and you can’t find it on the online shop, please send me an email at sambistafashionista@outlook.com. I will try to make your costume dreams come true.

Queenistas!

I’m the designer, creator, and Queenista behind this colorful corner of the internet. My love for costume design began when I discovered the incredible art of Brazilian Samba—Samba no Pé. I was instantly captivated by the beauty, confidence, and craftsmanship of the dazzling samba costumes. Before long, admiration turned into inspiration, and inspiration became a passion for creating my own costumies.
