Make it Pretty

Make it Pretty
you’re worthwhile!
using branding principles to communicate your personal value and beauty to the world
@lasertron princesslasertron.com

We know why businesses do it.
the world cares about you!
making a lasting impression :: creating a “customer experience” :: enhance product value :: reinforce company messages

(You already know all this stuff.)
trying your best is enough.
consider the unboxing process :: pretty packaging :: extra-thoughtful presents ::

everybody is proud of you!
But I don’t own a business. Who cares?
you matter to the world :: people notice small gestures :: self-indulgence is self-respect

Make it with care.
you are enough!
there are sneaky, hidden opportunities every day to give yourself some credit

who’s stopping you?
fold hot laundry :: use cloth napkins :: wrap a gift :: use bookplates :: buy something handmade :: learn how to tie a perfect bow :: participate willingly :: thank a busboy :: send a telegram (telegramstop.com) :: make life easier for someone :: tie a bow around a vase :: have a nice pen :: redecorate one tabletop :: treasure your possessions :: wear the “nice” dress :: tell someone they inspire you :: share what you bake :: dress for yourself :: get out and go!

Pick one thing!
you have permission!
don’t sweat the rest.
(don’t sweat anything.)

My one thing:
observe beauty
“look your best every day.”
(your best try is good enough for the world!)
people will start to expect it!

So, just pick one thing!
celebrate yourself!
tell the world, “i took the time because you matter.”
be proud to contribute joy and beauty.

Make it emotional.
you’re a miracle!
i want my brand experience to evoke emotion in my customers
i want my everyday interactions to evoke emotion in others

style is a gift to yourself!
Give things away, take what is free.
humans are unpredictible, spontaneous, and they contribute fun and interesting things.

you can learn how to do anything.
Make it unique.

That’s all.
you are important to everyone.
thanks for caring.
