Sugar & Sloth: Helping Anxious Overthinkers live a Happier Life

Hi there!

I’m Anita, the illustrator behind Sugar & Sloth, where anxiety meets glitter, and frogs are always the answer.

We Help Anxious Overthinkers live a Happier Life.

Today we offer:

Our monthly subscription box: Tiny Hug Club

Let me tell you how this all began.

A few years ago, I was grinding away in a corporate job, miserable and spending far too much time crying in the bathroom.

My mental health was on a downward spiral, tangled up in anxiety, depression, and undiagnosed ADHD.

As an escape from dark thoughts, I started doodling.

Chubby little unicorns, sloths, and all sorts of cute critters began to fill my sketchbooks, and for the first time in a long time, I felt a spark of happiness.

I added relatable little quotes to represent how I felt, and some swearing too, hehe.

What started as a way to escape my own sadness turned into something much bigger when I realised that my art could bring joy to others too.

I began to share my creations at markets and online, and the response was incredible.

People connected with the characters, the humour, and the honesty behind them.

The feeling of being able to help others was so magical!

Sugar & Sloth was born out of late nights, hidden packages under my desk at work, and countless lunchtime trips to the Post Office.

Slowly but surely, it grew from a small side hustle into a full-time passion, allowing me to take the leap from my corporate job and focus on spreading joy full-time.

Today, Sugar & Sloth is a vibrant, uplifting community of like-minded souls who believe in the power of positivity, empowerment, and a bit of silliness.

We’ve got our monthly subscription box, Tiny Hug Club, which is a little burst of happiness delivered straight to your door, filled with pins, stationery, and surprises designed to make your day.

We also offer therapy-backed tools, inspired by the very things that helped me navigate my own mental health journey—like CBT, NLP, affirmations, and a sprinkle of manifesting magic.

Whether it’s through our Tiny Hug Club, where we send out positive vibes when you need them most, or our warm and fluffy Facebook community, Sugar & Sloth is here to remind you that you’re not alone.

We believe in being open, honest, and maybe even oversharing a bit on our weekly lives (catch me on IG live, every Thursday at 8:30pm UK time)!

Welcome to our little corner of the internet.

We’re so glad you’re here.

Let’s make the world a bit brighter, one cute and chonky dinosaur at a time.

Love & hugs, Anita x
