Hey bestie! Welcome to the world of Love From JXY, where vibrant colours play hard and alternative style reigns supreme. 👑✨

Welcome to Love From JXY – where self care comes with a little sparkle and a dash of attitude.

Founded in 2021 by me, Jay Maria, I design and create high quality colouring books, including a tongue-in-cheek adult series featuring a generous amount of 'fucks', as well as an all ages option so all the family can get stuck in. Made to help you switch off from the real world and have some fun — because grown-ups deserve playtime too.

Need extra sparkle? We also create a range of cute accessories. Think socks that hug your feet like they mean it and are actually sensory friendly, jewellery that won’t turn your skin green, fun prints to spruce up your walls, and a mix of fun accessories that make your everyday feel just a little more you.

There's lots more I have to tell you, so be sure to keep scrolling where I introduce you to my fiance and my two other businesses (I'm neurospicy, did you really think there would only be one?!) With love, and a bit of glitter, so you can't get rid of me no matter how hard you try...

Colour therapy, but make it gay and chaotic

...and a little bit sweary.

I’m a firm believer that colouring outside the lines isn’t just allowed, it’s encouraged. I wanted to create a space where we could finally ditch the whole “colouring is for kids” nonsense and unapologetically grab your felt tips (or a sparkly glitter gel pen) and switch off from the world, just for a bit. This isn’t just about the physical act of colouring, it’s about finding your people, your peace, and maybe your long-lost inner child who now hoards colouring books like they’re rare Pokémon cards (or Labubu's - I know it's not just me hyper-fixated on them at the moment!) If you find joy in getting artsy, calm in a good colour palette, and comfort in knowing you're not the only adult with a borderline embarrassing obsession with colouring supplies… you’re in the right place. 💖

  • Where you are now – the shop. This is where it all kicked off for JXY back in 2021 – just me, a bunch of products, and a dream (plus way too many trips to the Post Office). Over time, what started as selling cute jewellery turned into building an amazing community online and at events, which ended up creating the JXY umbrella.

    LOVE FROM JXY 

  • The Body Artistry Studio – aka JXY HQ. It’s the heart of the JXY umbrella and hands-down my biggest passion. Think good vibes, great nails, and zero tolerance for bad energy. It’s a wholesome, feel-good space where creativity thrives – and where other like-minded small biz babes can set up shop, do their thing, and most importantly, thrive.

    JXY STUDIOS 

  • My neurospicy hyper-focus that somehow turned into my full-time gig. I’m the resident gel nail artist at JXY Studios, where I get to play with fun, quirky nail art and bring out the best in my clients. Whether it's wild designs or subtle elegance, I’m all about giving people that boost of confidence, one nail at a time.

    JAYS NAILED IT 
1 3

I’m a 90s baby, born and raised in London – where we pay £7 for coffee and pretend it’s normal. But once I realised that being self-employed meant I could work from literally anywhere, I packed up my fiancé, my cats (yes, plural), and my ever-growing trainer collection, and moved a few hundred miles up north to Manchester. And yes... It's better than the South. I said what I said.

Writing about myself is right up there with assembling IKEA furniture in terms of things I dread. You’ll see why soon, as my hobbies pretty much revolve around iced coffee and rewatching Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging like it's a critically acclaimed masterpiece (which, frankly, it is).

But here’s the plot twist – I love my job, and I am so lucky to be able to call the JXY umbrella my job. Whether I’m painting nails, designing a colouring book, or just vibing in the chaos of pretending I know what I'm doing owning a body artistry studio, this is what JXY is all about. Putting myself out there – expressing what makes me tick, finding my people, and building a little corner of the world to be creative, connect with likeminded weirdos, and make cool stuff with even cooler people.

And who's helping me with all that?

Meet Harley. Part-time Online Sales Executive / Studio Manager, and full-time fiancé. Yep, I roped my better half into this whole thing back in 2021, and honestly, JXY wouldn’t be where it is today without her. She’s the queen of TikTok live streams, the packing order pro, and the ultimate studio mood-lifter – making sure everyone’s happy, including me (most of the time).
