ART INSPIRATION: PANDORA

Tips for the best wall collage ever!

Being effortlessly classy and super budget-friendly, wall collages are one of the most popular room decor trends. It is one of the best ways to showcase your artwork and photos, and at the same time cover those ugly, bare walls.

Here are 5 tips to make the best wall collage ever:

1. Make sure all your photos/art are similar sizes

You don’t want some bits huge and others tiny, sometimes it works, yes, but usually it just looks out of place and well...weird.

1. Use blu-tack or double-sided tape

This is so that your photos/art doesn’t get damaged-trust me I speak from experience

1. Don’t make everything too compact

(Just incase you change your mind later and you don’t have to tear the whole thing down, and that’s just a waste of time and it’s completely pointless.

1. Have a general idea about what you want it to look like

You know the plan before you start things? Well, this is exactly the same Build a mental picture in your head and work with that. It won’t be perfect-but that’s okay, keep trying!

1. Be creative

The most beautiful things that happen in our life are usually the ones we don’t plan. Be spontaneous

Lots of love,

Pandora

Article is currently being changed.

Sincerely,

April DECORUM: ESTRELLA Aesthetic

Relating to the enjoyment of study of beauty, or showing great beauty.

Aesthetics cover the judgment and experiences we come across. It is used to appreciate the beauty of art, and people’s appreciation towards alluring things.

Aesthetics consider how art affects us. Like when we listen to music, watch plays, read poetry, or observe a painting. Aesthetics usually elicit serenity and bliss on an emotional level.

You can make your room aesthetically pleasing by maintaining a minimalist style. Aesthetic decor and artwork can bring out the finest features and spice up your interior. Aesthetics include touch, so throwing in a bunch of blankets and pillows can keep the room cozy and aesthetically pleasing. Love,

Estrella ENVIRONMENTALISM: SUMMER “Never refuse to reuse”, recycling is reusing one thing for a different purpose; which is a simple magical thing. So why don't we do it more often? If we payed attention to our lifestyle we can see how we waste 31 billion pounds of food annually, and only 30% of it is being recycled. There are so many manageable ways we can recycle and stop wasting. We have to remember we only have 1 Earth, if we keep going on like this we will need another one just to contain the waste. Try remembering that by doing one small thing continuously we can make an impact.

The first way we can recycle is by composting. Composting not only gives soil more value but it can actually slow climate change. Many people think composting is hard and gruelling work, but in reality it's the opposite. You can compost just by having a bin or bucket(something with a lid) and adding your fruit and vegetable scraps to it. It can take anytime between 2 months to 5 months. You see it's ready when it starts to become brown in the bottom. Finally you can take it and use it to nourish your plants. You could turn food waste into compost by using this method.

Another way we can recycle with ease is by donating. This is uncomplicated: one person's trash is another's treasure. Old books to you might look like an over the hill worthless things. Then give it away so it could be beneficial to someone else. You can give back to your local charity or someone you know personally. “Look deep into nature and then you will understand better”.

Reusable bags, we hear it all the time but do we really use it? (or shall I say reuse it? okay editor April is leaving please edit this out). This is effortless as well, instead of always getting a plastic bag at the store you can bring your own reusable bag. You can keep them in your car or purse so you won't have to worry about forgetting them. 160,000 plastic bags are used every second, if you think about it, it sounds ridiculous. So every time you use a reusable bag you need to remember you are making a difference.

“Anybody can make a difference and be the voice for the voiceless”, remember by trying you also influence not just yourself but the people around you. Recycling turn into a hobby, so it can bring you happiness. Try recycling and do your part to save the environment, one step at a time.

Love,

Summer HUMAN TENDENCIES AND LIFE: SPECTRE

Dealing with Depression

Do you ever find yourself thinking, what happened?

‘How did everything I’d valued just fall to dust’ and now you just can’t let go of that void of numbness surrounding you; always haunting you.

While you vaguely recall the days.

When you once had hope in your eyes, a real smile on your face.

And one day it just came tumbling down, now you live in a nightmare; a never-ending one at that, the person you once were is gone.

Hope is replaced with nothingness. The smile once real became fake and the world you thought was stable had collapsed.

What you don’t realise is that you’ve been living in the past wondering:

Why is it always there?

What you could’ve changed?

How you could’ve changed it?

The truth is, you have to move on, leave the past behind; because what's over can’t be changed.

But you can still wake up, there’s still time to force yourself up and look around with a little bit of that lost hope that there's got to be something meaningful, something worth staying awake, something to hold onto.

You don’t have to always feel bad about yourself being guilty for something that isn’t your fault.

You don’t have to cry yourself to sleep every night.

You don’t have to feel helpless.

You don’t have to feel all alone in a room full of people.

You don’t have to be swallowed whole and lose yourself entirely.

All you need is someone to listen to you, to rant to, to vent out exactly how you’re feeling and I’m here for you if you ever need anyone.

Love, Spectre Sorry about the late post, we were facing some er... difficulties. That was our first official edition, it spent weeks in the making. If you have any feedback, email us, or comment on this post<3. We'd love to know what you think and improve!
