At PrintingCenterUSA, we love seeing passion take shape in print. From artists to entrepreneurs, our customers use print to turn their visions into something lasting and beautiful. One of our favorite recent projects comes from Somaya Reece, founder of This Fits Me, whose new book Seeds of Autumn plants inspiration for mindful living, wellness, and creativity.

About Seeds of Autumn

Seeds of Autumn is a 50-page, full-color, perfect bound book that blends Somaya’s love of gardening with her mission to inspire balance, mindfulness, and heart-centered living. What began as a personal healing practice has blossomed into a cornerstone of her expanding lifestyle brand.

The Challenge

For Somaya, creating Seeds of Autumn was about finding the right balance between beauty, accessibility, and intention. As a master gardener and lifestyle entrepreneur, she had a wealth of knowledge to share but her goal was to make gardening approachable for beginners while keeping the book visually inspiring and true to her brand aesthetic. Sowing seeds within the community, Somaya regularly enjoys donating vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs she had grown to her local food banks and shelters.

She wanted Seeds of Autumn to feel premium and timeless, something readers would proudly display on their coffee tables or gift to loved ones. That meant paying close attention to color, texture, and flow throughout the design and print process.

“I had to remind myself this wasn’t an advanced manual. It’s about making gardening approachable, not overwhelming.” — Somaya Reece

Finding a printer who could deliver both professional quality and the personal touch her brand embodies was key; and that’s where PrintingCenterUSA came in.

The Printing Solution

Working with PrintingCenterUSA, Somaya chose a Perfect Bound format on 100# gloss paper with a 9 pt. gloss laminated cardstock cover; a combination that gave her book professional polish and durability to match her brand’s quality.

Magazine Specs:

• Pages: 50

• Cover Finish: Gloss Laminate
• Inside Paper: 100# Gloss Text (5 pt.)

The combination of premium gloss paper and a laminated cover gave Seeds of Autumn a vibrant, polished look that reflects Somaya’s creative vision. The smooth, durable finish enhances her full-color photography and step-by-step gardening guides, while the perfect binding gives the book a professional feel worthy of her growing lifestyle brand. It’s a design that feels as intentional and inspiring as the message inside.

The Impact

The finished product captures the warmth and purpose behind Somaya’s brand, This Fits Me, which is expanding from wellness and skincare into home, clean living, and mindful design.

“People have started calling me ‘The Latina Martha Stewart’. It’s humbling! It tells me the message is resonating.” — Somaya Reece

Beyond print, Somaya continues to give back by donating produce and flowers from her garden to local shelters, living out the values that Seeds of Autumn celebrates.

“Inspiring and giving back; that’s the legacy I want to build.” — Somaya Reece
