Welcome to my Whimsical World!
I am an Entrepreneur and Data Scientist with a Creative Spirit who loves to Travel and is crazy about Jane Austen! Find fun diys, quick recipes, home decor tips and tricks, journalling, planning, travel blogs and all things bright and colorful. We need more happy and less stress.
So in this little cozy corner of the internet we focus on happiness through creativity and mindfulness.
Happiness is not an elusive feeling. It is something that is felt when you are on the journey to making your dreams come true, something that is felt when you are truly aligned with who you are. It is something that is crafted by focusing on the things in life that matter the most, the simple things. A memorable conversation, a travel experience, doodling, a craft project, a comfortable home.
I believe these are the things that lead to the feeling of happiness. These are the journeys I document on my blog. The things I do to feel happy, to create my own happiness.
I write blog posts and make videos to share my adventures with the world. My blog posts, books and videos focus on DIYs, planning, vision boarding, spaces, parties and mindful creativity.
Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make us the happiest. That is what I believe. By looking at the world creatively you can do so much more. Make so many of your dreams come true. Chart the course to your Castles in the Air. Learn a new skill. Make your home pretty. Have good times with friends and family.
We are all in pursuit of happiness and yet we always add conditions to the feeling. Losing weight, getting a promotion, writing a book, being more social.
After reading many self help books, (I am a HUGE believer in cognitive therapy) I realized that I had the concept of happiness all wrong. Happiness is not something to achieve it is something that can be crafted!
But then I’ve always known that in some part of my brain. Because I’ve been creating to take a break from life and to escape into a world of my own for years.
I’ve always balanced my mostly numbers and mathematics driven life with some sort of creative pursuits. I feel that art and creativity balance my life. They distract me from to-dos and the daily anxieties and stress of life. I have an over active mind and am anxious by nature and so creating and crafting has been a refuge for me at many trying times in my life.
This is why I create. Because I do believe that happiness can be crafted! And now even scientific research shows that happiness can be created. Our reality, quite a large chunk of it, really depends on how we view it and so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that our external circumstances predict only about 10% of our total happiness.
Wondering Where to Start?

So that’s why even though I have a full time job and my training is in mathematics and data science, I create. And I love it! I feel it balances me, makes me happy and makes me a better version of myself.
MZ Creates is my attempt at sharing that happiness with all of you. Showing you the ways in which I ‘Craft my Happiness’. From Art Journalling to Zentangle, to home decor DIYs, travel adventures and good times with family and friends. These are all the ways in which I incorporate creativity into my life.
No matter what career path you’re on or where you are in the world I hope you’ll join me in crafting more happiness for ourselves!
