looking for more rp partners on discord!! would absolutely love another small town mumu (multimuse) or two, extra info about me & what i'm looking for under the cut!

hiya, thanks for clickin!! my name is mo! i'm 28, she/her, and i'm in the PST timezone! i'm exclusively looking for rp partners who are at least 21+ please (but preferably closer to my age)! i write on discord only in a private rp server (with tupperbox!) i'll make for us!! i looove organization and will make us some character & ship categories, as well as a town worldbuilding section, i'll also keep track of things like the in-game calendar and timelines in reference to our threads!! once i get invested in an rp, i'm IN THERE in there

i write all genders, but i only write f/f, m/f, and nb ships! i'm looking for writing partners who are similar in enjoying and wanting to write all genders (and who have equal muse for all their characters regardless of gender) as i'm interested in exploring multiple ships and characters! i am also looking for a partner who likes to write a wide variety of ages, as I enjoy writing characters anywhere between the ages of 20s-50s! i prefer using & being opposite by faceclaims with resources from films & tv (i'm not interested in opposites such as sabrina carpenter, harry styles, madison beer, and the like)

i'd love an rp partner who loves to worldbuild, plot, write headcanons (or do little rp memes), share inspo stuff, and chat ooc! pinterest boards and playlists are a bonus! i really enjoy building a friendship with my rp partners as well as a fun, collaborative writing experience! i would absolutely LOVE to create a small town with a new partner and come up with its location, the names of shops and other places, some NPC names, maybe plot up some town lore & history, ect, and fill it up with a bunch of diverse characters and relationships we can continue to add on to over time! i'm interested in exploring relationships of all kinds, including romantic, platonic, familial, antagonistic, ect! for example, new budding romances, exes on good and/or bad terms, toxic exes or relationships, old high school sweethearts, best friends, friends who fell out or grew apart, close siblings, sibling rivals, and just other fun and/or complicated connections ahoy! i just love multi-muses and being able to write a living, breathing town filled with characters who can all freely interact with each other!

because i'd love a slowly expanding cast of characters (maybe start with 2-3 characters each and go from there?), it's very preferable to me that replies stay on the shorter side, as in one paragraph or less (unless the thread is really plot significant or intense/emotional! ik those can get away for us length-wise LOL) this way we can prioritize quality over quantity, and actually get to see relationships & plots evolve over time in many threads rather than spend weeks or months on a single thread and never actually get to all the good stuff we've plotted. in my experience, it's way more fun to have an evolving mumu where replies take maybe 5-10 minutes to write, and it also allows us to keep the progress of the rp going at a continual pace, which keeps it fun, exciting, and fresh!

i am happy to write smut when the relationship/thread calls for it, and i also enjoy nsfw headcanons alongside sfw ones! i'd say i prefer a 80/20 story to smut ratio. i am also comfortable with most dark or complicated themes, but this will probably be case by case basis. i'm looking for a soap opera inspired town mumu, basically! a good variety mix of drama & intrigue, angst & fluff, smut & sweetness, tragedy & other dark themes, ect, but nothing too intensely or consistently dark or taboo

i'd consider myself to be a pretty active rp partner for the most part (i'm in college plus i work sporadic hours as a private tutor) and when replies are on the shorter side, i can usually do at least one set of replies (if we are writing multiple threads at a time, i personally enjoy writing 2 at a time!) a day, but likely more, and i'm down for rapid-fire sessions as well when i can! i prefer my partner to have similar activity (it's difficult for me to stay invested in an rp when it mostly just consists of hcs & shared inspo, and when there is very little actual writing happening), though i don't at ALL want my partner to feel pressured to write replies!! it's just a hobby, not a jobby! things happen & life gets busy! but i really appreciate communication and transparency with rp friends! just lmk what's up and i'll do the same for you! and if you can't do replies for some reason, i'm always happy to just chat ooc or do some inspo chatting or plotting!!

this got so long, if you read all of it ily! if you have any questions or are interested in all this shit by me, please send me an IM!! or if you like or comment on this ad, i'll reach out to you! ty!! if i don't reach out it's because i found something in your guidelines that i don't think is compatible with this plot ad (usually has to do with desired reply length being multi-paragraph/novella, listed low activity, if the blog is heavily smut-centric, or rules state exclusively wanting to write one gender or kind of ship) but if your guidelines are out of date pls feel free to reach out anyway!!

Day 7 (crazybutgood)

For today, the lovely @the-starryknight has so kindly submitted a reclist for me 🥺 When she messaged me saying if she could gift me through the advent, I was very much just an honoured flattered bean. Thank you so much starry for doing this 💖 I had the pleasure of discussing with her to create my box as well:

Image description: a blue origami box with a print of white and pink flowers and petals on it. Inside is a smaller pale purple origami box.

Here is starry’s submission:

One of the things I love most about participating in fandom in this moment is the vast variety of different kinds of creativity. From fic writers to podficcers, artists and embroiderers, reccers and ficbinders, there are so many amazing ways to make. In my eyes, @crazybutgood embodies that kind of generous creativity. From rec lists to podfic to writing to stunning origami, I find myself blown away again and again by CBG’s brilliant approach to fandom — she inspires me to find new ways to celebrate, to share, and to make.

When CBG said she’d be posting a series of recs as a sort of advent calendar, I knew exactly the person I wanted to be celebrated with it: CBG herself! So I’ll share a few favorites:

📚 Fics by CBG:

“He thanked the stars for the direction their lives had taken after the War. Merlin knew Harry had been Draco’s guiding light in times of darkness and despair. However, this was no time to dwell on sadness, but rather celebrate victories, and everyday joys with the man he loved.”

— You Light Me Up

“‘मेरे । Mine,’ he says with a smile as they continue kissing, the lesson forgotten.”

— Language of Love

Origami by CBG:

📜 Drarry ‘Round the World Collab with @julcheninred - I was so excited when I saw the notification that this was published because not one but two brilliant creators working together? I love this piece, they have crafted such a brilliant story. I love the subtle intricacies of CBG’s origami Jersey Devil, so neat and textured.

📜 With Great Yawns and Stretchings - I adore so much about this piece — the origami cats, tea and mugs are perfectly folded, and I love the staging of each photo (the cat amid the coffee beans, the rainy window background), a beautiful progression of warm and loving moments.

Art Recs by CBG:

🖼️ Patronuses I and II - Just another sign of CBG’s generosity in fandom is her detailed and thoughtful art rec lists, like this one! I loved reading about all the different patronus headcanons, and discovering beautiful art I’d never seen before.

🖼️ Drarry Comics - This selection of comics is one amazing piece after another (after another). CBG’s insightful commentary immediately made me want to click on each and every one of these — full of CBG’s signature joy and care for other creators.

Origami Recs by CBG:

💖 International Tea Day 2021 Origami Rec List - CBG has curated a collection of tea and fics and art, with stunning and carefully chosen origami teabags to go with each. The list is full of wonderful pieces to read and look at over a good cup of tea.

💖 First Line Tag Game + Origami Fic Recs - Thoughtful recs plus stunning origami? Yes please! I love CBG’s style of incorporating quotes into the folds of each rec. This, combined with her thoughtful commentary, makes for a wonderful list.

Thank you, dear @crazybutgood, for letting me in on this project so I could take a moment to appreciate you for the many, many wonderful ways you share in the joy of this fandom. I feel so lucky to get to share this fandom with you! May 2022 bring all kinds of new creativity, new joys, and many bright moments to come.

----

@the-starryknight, it was so incredibly nice of you to write such a lovely and thoughtful reclist 😭🥺❤️ I am extremely floored and humbled and I appreciate it very much 🙏🏼💕

Starry herself spreads positivity in fandom through various means such as Tuesday TLC zone, stunning fic-binding, and her lovingly curated recs and rec lists. Check out her amazing writing on her Tumblr and ao3 as well! She’s doing an advent fic this year too, read it here :) Happy holidays, @the-starryknight ! 🥰

hello everyone! no one asked for this but notion is now my guilty pleasure so i wanted to join in on creating some notion content (you have no idea how much time i've spent watching notion youtube videos, on notiontwt, and messing with my own notion). honestly i wasn't able to find a notion setup or template that i felt was perfect for me and it took me a long time to acknowledge this and be okay with it (lol this sounds so dramatic). i wanted to use it because it seemed so helpful, but for so long it was so frustrating. i'd spend so much time trying to make it work and then never return to any pages i set up. ultimately, i had to be very intentional about notion: what i wanted to use it for, how often i wanted to use it, etc. the problem was that i felt too overwhelmed to try to just make a set up from scratch. that being said, in this post i'm going to go over not only my own set up but how i got to it.

i actually found notion via @noodledesk back in the spring! their posts and set up inspired me to start researching and watching youtube videos. at this point i was just using notion's built in templates. i wanted to make them more personalized, but i was still confused about notion so it didn't go well and i eventually abandoned them. then, over the summer, i rediscovered noodledesk's task prioritization template and began using that. i ended up using it for a longggg time, probably from july to october! i altered it a teeny bit and over time added a few things to personalize it more. here's a pic of how it looks as of the last time i used it!

as you can see it's basically a big grid organized by days and amount of time the task will require. there's some less organized stuff at the bottom and on top is my morning routine, a random motivational picture, a quote i like, and links to things i use daily like my google calendar.

this set up worked really well for me over the summer when i had absolutely no structure in my life, but once i was back in school and working two jobs, i found i don't need so much help prioritizing my tasks but rather a big space for me to see everything. and when i say everything, i mean literally everything.

around this time, i discovered notiontwt (notion twitter) and found sooo many beautiful spreads! they were so cute and inspired me a lot. this is one set up i attempted to use (i especially liked the weekly spread) and this is one that i made myself using a 'pack' of graphics as a kind of theme.

like i said the graphics (header and calendar) are from the artist i linked above. the fanart of harry styles is by this artist. also just something that i think is important and could be a helpful reminder is to always put sources/artists for any images or art you include at the bottom of your pages! even if you're the only one seeing the page!! also of course ask if the image is okay to use!

so i tried to use that spread for october and again... it was abandoned. i also was using it in conjunction with the priority page and an 'assignments masterlist' database i have but things were just not working. i think this is the point that i decided that i would just be creative, let things flow, and do what i wanted. i took pieces from set ups that i liked, made my own little pieces, and added them to a blank page that i titled 'my brain.' 'my brain' really helped to free up my mind. calling it that made me center the page on myself and only use things that i liked and that worked for me (& ignore all the aesthetic stuff i was seeing). i felt free to delete some things and add others even if i didn't know exactly how i wanted them to look or function. in addition, i even added a little section to that page where i wrote, "i want this to be a space of fluid exploration so i can move things around as i figure out what works best for me," as a reminder of what that page was meant to be. i also started bulking up my 'essentials page' which i'll go through another time, but it was important in creating this page and keeping it focused on my daily needs.

going into this 'project' there were a few elements i knew i liked from things i'd tried and things i'd seen. these were: images, a grid layout (from noodledesk's priority page), a full page, quotes, organization by weekday. so, the first thing i did was make these elements in my page. then i arranged them into a layout that i liked (loosely inspired by, again, noodle desk): list on the left, image on the right. this is what it looked like:

at the top, there is a callout that says "today" and it's meant to overview everything that should be in my head on that particular day or... every day. underneath there are three columns, one for tasks (check list), one for events and random thoughts (reminders) and one for general inspiration. the inspiration column has the callout with the goal of the page that i already discussed, a painting by my favorite artist, and a quote that i liked from a book i've read recently.

underneath all of that is more of a future look-ahead. i have a grid-style weekly planner and then a linked database that i use every day. i learned how to make this database from @blacklinguist‘s post.and under all that i just have some other stuff.

so this is basically what i began working with! since, i've added sub sections to organzize my to-do list, a goal section, and a cute picture next to my weekly grid. i just added these as they came to me. for example, i wanted to do this one reading challenge but I always forget about goals because i put them deep into other pages and then forget about them. so i made a section on my main page for them!

also if it's important, the assignments masterlist is sorted by due date, but in the weekly grid i put the tasks under the day that they're due. so you can see my falling man reading is due on dec.1, but i need to actually do it before then so in the weekly grid it's under the monday heading (and tuesday but that's because i doubt i'll finish it monday). i also try to add the dates of the week to those headings so i don't get confused but usually i forget. i at least try to bold the current day. random note but that's one thing i had trouble with in a lot of the templates i was trying before. they usually only organized things by due or 'do' date, but my brain really requires both so i made sure to include that here. BUT i wasn't aware of that before. i honestly just put that into words and realized it now. that's why it's important to just add absolutely anything that you think might help you even a little bit. anywho, here it is in its current state:

and that's pretty much it! another time i can go over the other pages i use, but this is my version of what a lot of notion users call a dashboard and this is what I've put the most effort into making work for me. i hope this helps you in some way whether it's using this format exactly, taking some inspiration, or just realizing that notion is super flexible and can work for you (even if it's intimidating right now). also i'm so sorry if this is overwhelming but i think it's super satisfying lol. let me know if you have any questions or ideas and please message me about notion because i love talking about it.

MLB Dupain-Cheng Wedding and Marinette’s Birthday theory!!

An updated version of this theory can be found here. Some new info was revealed and I decided to talk about it.

Here I have developed two theories; when Sabine and Tom got married and Marinette’s Birthday. I have finalised two dates as to when they got married and when Marinette was born. This is pure speculation by the way, so take what I say with a grain of salt!!!

The Dupain-Chengs Wedding Date THEORY:

To figure out when they were married I gathered clues from all available episodes.

Lets start with “Timebreaker”! In this episode Sabine says they are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary with a special dinner. And since “Timebreaker” was in season 1, this episode is speculated to have occurred sometime sometime in February-April.

I have theorised that “Backwarder” is set in either April of 2011 or May of 2018 This is because Adrien, Gabriel, Kagami and her mother are going to attend a Royal Wedding in England. And Thomas Astruc must have been inspired by a royal wedding and since this episode aired in 2016, Astruc would not have known about Harry and Meghan meaning that Kate and William was probably his source of inspiration.

So if Tom and Sabine are celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary in February-April 2011 or 2018, that means they were married in 1991 or 1998.

However in consideration to the style of Sabine’s dress, it is more likely to be in 1998. 1991 Wedding dresses were extremely puffy, most likely due to the after effects of the 80s fashion. Sabine’s wedding dress actually closely resembles the wedding dresses of the 2000s. Meaning that it is highly likely the wedding happened in 1998, here’s a photo comparison.

(Credit: Me, I googled some pics of both 1991 and 1998 wedding dresses and created this collage.)

Basically since Sabine doesn’t look like any of the snow beast brides of 1991 and closer to 1998 wedding dresses, I think it’s a safe bet that it was set in 1998. FYI: I did loads of wedding dress research and her dress is closest to the 2002 bridal styles, especially with the BOHO-chic fashion trend.

Now fun fact, this means we actually know when the exact date they were married because of Marinette’s calendar (which is basically Adrien’s Schedule) back in “Timebreaker”. The episode as we know starts off with Sabine talking about their 20th wedding anniversary. However in this episode, Alix and Kim have their rollerblade race, This is the only episode we know of to have rollerskating in it, and in Marinette’s calendar April 6th is marked as “Roller Time”.

(Credit: https://amour-chasse-croise.tumblr.com/post/142955283453/miraculous-ladybug-timeline-complete )

This means that April 6th is the day that Tom and Sabine were married!! (And Alix’s birthday lol)

So this concludes that…

Tom and Sabine were married on April 6th of 1998.

Also this means that Tom married Sabine when he was twenty!!! Because he turned 40 in Bakerix which is set in 2018, we knows this because the events in “Bakerix” happen before "Backwarder", as the inauguration of Startrain is shown. And we know “Backwarder” is set in May of 2018, meaniNG BAKERIX IS HAPPENING IN EARLY 2018!!!!

Our bakery boi snatched his wife with that broom-stache at 20 holy moly. I wondered how old Sabine was, I think she might have been 19, making her 39 in “Bakerix”. Love to hear anyone’s theory on Sabine’s age.

This means that Tom and Sabine totally dated in high school. oMG SO CUTE!! Can’t wait to draw the art for that one!

The Date of Marinette’s birthday THEORY:

This theory isn’t as concrete as the previous but I had to do some hard core predications and assumptions!! So don’t take my word for it!

It took Tom and Sabine a couple of years before they had Marinette. Because we know she is 14 in “Befana”, that means she was born in 2003 or 2004 if this episode took place in 2017 or 2018. And according to the MLB wiki timeline, Befana takes place in July, meaning Marinette is born in July. No joke the wiki has a timeline.

If we look at her personality we can actually determine what part of July her birthday is on with zodiac signs!! July 1st to July 22nd are members of the Cancer zodiac sign, and July 22nd to July 31st, are a part of the Leo zodiac sign.

I did a little research for Cancer because as a Leo myself, I know that sign pretty well. And guys, “Cancers are born people-pleasers and emotional caretakers.” and not just that but “You’ll often see Cancer women busting their butts behind the scenes building props on theatre or movie sets, or as head chefs making magic in the kitchens of busy restaurants. These women prefer to work with their hands, and do work that they feel emotionally connected to, rather than spending hours staring at spreadsheets or mathematical abstractions.” (source:https://www.astrology.com/cancer-woman.html)

MARINETTE IS A MEMBER OF THE CANCER ZODIAC SIGN CONFIRMED SHE IS A CRAB!!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE HER LIKE THAT I CAN

So we can confidently say her birthday is between July 1st and 22nd, we just gotta find the specific date!! Here’s another clue I found thanks to another birthday theory on Amino; In the Webisode "My Birthday Party", Marinette's voice over says "It's my birthday on Saturday". (In the English Dub)

Now the webisode was released in 2016, while “Befana” was released in 2017. In 2016 would have been 12 if Marinette was born in 2004, which is inaccurate as she was 13 when she received the miraculous. Meaning she is born in 2003 making her thirteen in 2016 the year of the webisode aired!!

Now if her birthday in that webisode was set in 2016, the Saturday’s between between July 1st and 22nd land on three dates. The 2nd, 9th and the 16th of July.

How do we narrow the three dates down to one I hear you ask? Well Kung Food is set sometime after July 14th according to this tumblr user, meaning we can eliminate the 16th because her Great Uncle would have mentioned her birthday but he didn’t.

(Credit: https://ladybug-x-chatnoir.tumblr.com/post/138842131342/here-is-a-visual-timeline-based-off-of )

Now that means it’s either the 2nd or the 9th. I think if we look at the school dates when the year “Befana” takes place we may determine her birthday.

So if Marinette is turning 14 in “Befana” and if she is born in 2003, that means “Befana” occurs in 2017. In the episode she talked about being at school that week, and “yesterday” she caught Nino listening to her fav song at school , however she did not mention being at school on her actual birthday. Which in 2017, Mari’s birthday is on a Sunday and I had to check but France does have Middle and High schools that choose to have courses on Saturdays. So we are deficiently in the right timeframe!

It occurred to me that July is when Summer Holidays begin for France. And according to this website, France’s summer holidays begun on July 8th in 2017.

(Credit: https://www.renestance.com/blog/2017-school-holidays-in-france/ )

Now if we rewatch “Befana”, we can see that the classroom is bare of any school work or posters. Now everyone who has been to middle or high school knows there are big clean ups that happen the day Summer Holidays begin. And that’s what I think we are seeing here. A completely clean classroom ready for a new year.

(Credit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTz8SC39s24)

I can conclude then that Marinette’s Birthday is on the 9th of July, and she was born in 2003!! THE PROOF IS IN DA PUDDIN THAT IS ADRIEN LOL!

So to quickly resummarise this double theory of mine:

Tom and Sabine were married on April 6th of 1998.

and

Marinette’s Birthday is on the 9th of July, and she was born in 2003.

Wow I spent six hours researching all this and now I’m super tired, I’m posting these theories because I will be MIA during May and possibly June because of Exams and Assignments for Uni. Enjoy reading this and I hope to hear your opinions and thoughts!!

REMEMBER THIS IS JUST A THEORY

Posted on 5th of July in 2019, sometime after Bakerix aired.

Business of Art | The Artist’s Creed: 10 Guiding Principles for Your Arts Career

Make your arts career work for you with this empowering advice from artists.

There is no one way to be an artist. Artists use different media, explore a vast range of ideas, and face differing barriers and obstacles. Yet over the years we’ve observed that many artists have one thing in common: tenacity. Below, we’ve distilled advice from people we admire. These intentions and action steps can help you protect and strengthen yourself, as a member of a community, an individual who must survive in the world, and as a creator.

“Find the practice that works for you, and never apologize for it.” - Walidah Imarisha

You’ve most likely read an article, or many, about the routines that notable artists swear by as requirements for productivity. While content like this can be inspiring, it can also be discouraging and alienating. What if you’re not a morning person? What if you you can’t afford to create everyday because you’re juggling multiple jobs to pay the bills?

In the words of educator and writer Walidah Imarisha, writing or creating every day “works for some, but if it doesn't, especially because you’re struggling to survive, it doesn't mean you aren't a writer” or artist. You are the only one who can set the best, and most feasible, rhythm and schedule for yourself.

Try: If fitting in large chunks of time for your art feels unattainable right now, set aside a few minutes on a regular basis to explore. This could be every night before you go to bed, on your morning commute, or during a break at work. Write down impressions of your environment, do a brief sketch, or think about ideas you’d like to explore in future work. You’ll find these few minutes will add up.

Or, if you’re ready and able to carve out more time aggressively but find yourself pulled in opposite directions by various priorities and responsibilities, set aside realistic chunks of time in your calendar to create. If your calendar is digital, set up reminder alerts. Treat this time as you would a work obligation.

Build yourself up.

Become your own best supporter. Writer Esmé Weijun Wang takes a documented approach. “My own self-belief has to be nurtured. I have a file of Kind Words that people have said or written to me...which I sometimes refer to.”

Try: Create your own repository of kind words. This could be a document you add to, or you could try a more tactile approach and list compliments on your wall or create text-based art with them.

Do the thing.

Creative block will manifest for every artist, but it is different for every artist. Perhaps, to counter it, you need rest, or a break, or to let yourself focus on another project. Ultimately, though, it can be helpful to “do the thing,” in the words of author Pam Stucky. Wendy Perron (Fellow in Choreography ’85) recommends doing the thing “even if at that (blocked) point, it feels really stupid and pointless. At least then you'll have something to look at or fix or edit.”

It’s OK to ask for help.

You don’t have to do it alone. If you’re struggling in some way, it’s very likely there is someone or something that can help. That’s why NYFA offers the NYFA Source Hotline, a free referral hotline that you can call at (800) 232-2789, from Monday - Friday, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM EST, or email at [email protected].

If you’re experiencing financial duress because of an emergency, you may be the perfect candidate for an emergency grant.

Try: Reach out. Your local arts council or arts organization likely has the exact resources you need. Need a writer’s community or workshop? They may be able to connect you. Is your studio space lease ending with no alternative in sight? Organizations like chashama and many others offer free and affordable residencies. And remember, your peer network—either online or in-person— is one of your best resources available to you. Your fellow creators may be able to provide you with feedback, spread the word about your events, and help you make connections. Just be sure to offer help in return to ensure a fair and equitable partnership.

“Watch your pals.” - Hanif Abdurraqib

It can be a challenge to find the perfect outlets for your work once you’re ready to share it with the world. Here’s a simple starting point from poet and essayist Hanif Abdurraqib: “All of my dream publications are the places I can be published next to the work of my friends and heroes.”

Try: Create a list of 10 favorite artists in your discipline with whom you feel an affinity in style or subject matter. These could be artists in your circle, online or in-person, or others you admire from afar. Where are they published? Which galleries exhibit their work? At which festivals have they performed? Then, research any relevant deadlines or eligibility guidelines and set reminders for deadlines and the steps you need to take along the way to be ready to submit.

Court rejection.

Don’t let the “no’s” you receive define you. Rejection is inevitable. Poet Lauren Whitehead speaks of “courting rejection.” Lean into the “no’s” you receive because that means you’re putting your work out there. Celebrate your rejections. Some even recommend aiming for 100 rejections per year, because that increases your odds of being accepted.

You can be financially stable.

Being an artist can be a financial challenge, whether you’re trying to finance a full-time artistic practice, pay student loans for your creative education, or afford studio space. But let’s throw out the stereotype of the starving artist. It is possible to survive, and even thrive, financially as an artist or creative, and there are many ways to reach this goal. Caitlin Pearce, Executive Director of the Freelancers Union, offers one strategy for independent contractors: “For many freelancers, stability comes with diversifying their income portfolio… [and with] finding diverse ways to monetize their skills and expertise.”

Try: Artists and creatives in all fields are often at a loss on how to price their work or services. Artist fees and hourly rates should be realistic in order to be competitive. But begin with the income you need, and want, to earn as your starting point, and prioritize this number. Your target annual income can help you find a sustainable hourly rate. Try using the formula provided by Andrew Simonet in Making Your Life as an Artist (free for download with newsletter sign-up).

Another principle to live by: when you’re creating a project budget, remember to pay yourself for your time.

Know your rights.

Here’s a staggering statistic from the National Endowment for the Arts: “American artists are highly entrepreneurial; they are 3.5 times more likely than the U.S. workforce to be self-employed.” This means that artists and creatives can find themselves without the protections of a standard workplace, shouldering more risk and liability.

There are steps you can take to protect yourself. Work with a contract so that expectations are clear. This is crucial for larger projects and highly recommended for smaller projects. The Freelancers Union offers contract templates that are compliant with New York City’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act, which protects the right to timely and full payment.

Another consideration for independent contractors: try to avoid work for hire contracts, in which the party that commissions the work or the employer owns the rights to the work. Poet, educator, and performer Denice Frohman cautions: “Don’t give your rights away.”

Try: There are a range of contract templates online or you may want to ask peers to share their template with you. Photographer Reggie Cunningham reworks templates that large companies and clients have sent to him. Whatever your method, resolve to find the format that works for you, so that it’s ready to go before your next opportunity presents itself.

Protect your work, invest in your future.

Your work and your well-being are precious resources; luckily, protecting yourself is well within your power. Every small step you take adds up to readiness in the face of disaster, as well as readiness for exciting opportunities in your arts career.

It’s important to document your work and related materials. “Archives help capture what can easily be lost.” says Eric Colleary, Cline Curator of Theatre & Performing Arts at the Harry Ransom Center. For many artists, “documenting their work for posterity almost becomes an artwork itself“ and is a highly individual process. Apply the same care and creativity in preserving your work as you do in producing it.

Try: Every tiny step is helpful. Here’s an example: look around your studio or living or storage space. Are there important materials in a basement or attic that could flood or experience extreme temperature shifts? Move them to a safer spot. Or, research opportunities to preserve your assets. CERF+ offers mini grants for craft artists called Get Ready Grants to help artists safeguard their studios and their careers.

Ready to start archiving? Here are a few resources that can guide you through the archival process: a guide from the Joan Mitchell Foundation for visual artists; Dance Heritage Coalitions Artist’s Legacy Toolkit; and resources on preserving electronic and time-based works from the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. Thinking about your legacy early on will also help you get your work out into the world in the present.

The world needs your perspective.

Artists are all too familiar with imposter syndrome, as people who make their own rules and create something out of nothing. This leaves room for doubt. Over time, you’ll find your own ways to counter this feeling, but try starting with affirmations that help you fake it ‘till you make it. Writer Brandon Taylor says: “I try to remind myself that my work is worthy. Sometimes I literally say that in the shower until I believe it. ‘Your work is worthy, your work is worthy, your work is worthy.’ I try to take it very seriously. So that even if I suck that day, I still try.”

On top of everyday imposter syndrome, many artists receive messaging, subtle or otherwise, that their work or experiences are less valued than others. Deanna Fei (Fellow in Fiction ’06) on writing about her experiences as a parent: “We assume the family or domestic sphere is less worthy as fodder for art. But race, class, power are in every class and playground.” Disregard that prejudice and create “what inspires you. Start with the tiny and specific. Then go wide and big.”

As we pulled out onto the tarmac

As we pulled out onto the tarmac, foreboding clouds circled. A drop or two of rain fell. But our pilot was determined to get out before the next torrential downpour and out we got. Small business owners are resilient and I am sure that if the NDP were able to sit us down and explain that there was a plan in place that would offset the damage that is being proposed and that the economy was in fact going to grow because of X,Y or Z, we would listen. Unfortunately we have not heard it yet. And would hate to have to leave. There a wide berth of fashion trends for fall/winter 2016 that will tempt you to shop and maybe even splurge.

The season is eclectic, it not a hot mess eclectic, he adds, noting that menswear is also part of the fall season for women (think natty materials, plaids and pinstripes).

I think he enjoys the fact that you are never sure whether he really is Alf Garnett or not; whether his is the authentic voice of the working man or a knowing post modern parody of it. Does he ever worry that some of his ten million readers may miss the irony in his columns? 'I never write down to people,' he says. 'I don't believe in lowest common denominators.'.

Indie 5-0: 5 Questions with Reggie Harris

A teaching artist in the Kennedy Center’s CETA program (Changing Education Through the Arts) and a fellow for the prestigious Council of Independent College lecture program, Reggie Harris also serves as Co-President and Director of Music Education for the Living Legacy Project—an advocacy group that sponsors Civil Rights pilgrimages throughout the South and online education seminars worldwide. His new album On Solid Ground is about all healing and inspiration in the face of injustice and dissension. From love songs (“Come What May”) to protest songs (“Standing in Freedom's Name”) to the album-closing tribute (“High Over the Hudson”) to his friend and mentor Pete Seeger, On Solid Ground has a little bit of something for everyone. Harris is the 2021 recipient of Folk Alliance International's Spirit of Folk Award and is a DJ on the new program Prisms: The Sound Of Color on SiriusXM’s The Village. He was recently featured on CNN’s Silence is Not An Option with Don Lemon and in The New York Times.

1. At what age did you realize that music was the career you wanted to pursue? What was your ‘ah-ha’ moment? Wow. It came late. I mean, I’ve been singing since I was three or four years old, but I never really had any reason to think of music as a possible career. No one in my family or for that matter, in my social circle, did anything of the sort. People asked that question “What do you wanna be?” all the time but I saw music as just something you did in church or at school or in family sings around the piano. I always loved music and I was always good at it. I learned to harmonize really early and I sang all through high school but never gave any thought to it as a profession. I thought I’d be a teacher. But the “aha moment” came when I heard James Taylors' "Fire and Rain" on the radio one night in 12th grade. Something about his guitar and his expressive voice lit a fire that burned inside until I got a guitar in my hands in 1974. That happened when a young woman I was dating dared me to learn 3 chord on the guitar. That event unleashed something inside of me that had gone untapped in all my years of singing in choirs and groups and at school. I now had the ability to accompany myself with music that I heard from within. I bought the album Sweet Baby James and played the grooves out. That opened the door to Gordon Lightfoot, Don McClean, Cat Stevens, Kenny Rankin and the singer songwriters. I started watching shows like The Midnight Special or Don Kirschner’s Rock Concert and I started going to concerts. And around that same time, I met another young woman named Kim who played guitar and loved the same artists I did. She and I started meeting up and practicing songs, then we began writing songs and quickly became singing partners. Eventually we got married and I’d say, we pushed each other out the door and onto the stage. We were both passionate about making music and helped each other learn and grow and we were both willing to struggle to make it work. We did that for forty years and then separated and I became a solo act in 2016. I love the way it feels to spend hours making music and I really love how it makes other people feel when they hear it. It also gives me a voice to express what I see in the world. My passion for creating music and connecting the dots is stronger than ever. 2. Who are your musical inspirations? What artists inspired you to start your career and find your musical passion? My musical inspiration started early and there have been so many streams. Hearing the “old folks” in my church sing spirituals and hymns was formative and Sunday afternoon church events where 6 or 7 or more church choirs would travel around and have a gospel song fest at another church was exciting and grounding. All those amazing singers covering those great songs. I remember hearing Harry Belafonte, Mahalia Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke and others on my mother's radio in the morning as she got ready for work. Their voices just made you feel emotions like nothing else in the world. Our teachers in elementary taught us the songs of Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson, Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan and we sang “Blowing in the Wind” (The Peter, Paul, and Mary version) and "If I Had A Hammer" for 6th grade graduation. I remember standing on the steps of my house in Philly with three of my friends, in the summer of 1964, singing “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” at the top of our lungs. We all took different roles as The Beatles. I thought I was Paul of course! That strikes me funny now… four little black boys in inner-city Philadelphia thinking they were English rockers? Why not The Temps? Or Smokey and the Miracles? There was also Aretha Franklin and The Stones in 1965 with "Satisfaction." Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder fascinated me and all those great Motown artist’s voices came floating down the hall to my room as my sister came of age. I paid attention to the musicians and the arrangements too. Years later, after I discovered the guitar, I met Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton and Ritchie Havens and other folk musicians and started to find a groove that combined what they were doing with other music I loved. My inspiration stream crosses genres, race, decade and style. Stevie Wonder to Pete Seeger, to Bach to Dolly Parton to Joan Armatrading to the Yellow Jackets to Beyonce. Listening across genres gives me more information to process which I can incorporate in melodies, harmonies or language for lyrics. 3. What inspired you to write & record On Solid Ground? I got home on March 8, 2020 after my tour was abruptly ended by COVID-19 shutdowns. For 3 weeks, I sat watching the news, talking with friends, feeling the world come apart as concert dates disappeared from my calendar for months and months into the future. Since concerts, lectures and school programs are the major ways that I get to sow seeds of hope in the world, I felt at a great loss. Like everyone else, I saw tensions building and protests against the various issues of hate and division exploding in the streets and felt that I needed to make sense of it all.

Music is the place I go when I need the world to make sense. So I started doing online concerts and that helped me to see how hungry people were for music and connection. My answer to the desperation and fear that I saw rising all around was to write the song "On Solid Ground." It’s written in the style and frame of the spirituals which are songs I grew up singing and that I still sing now. They are songs composed by people who endured slavery…people who were suffering through devastatingly tough times and still found ways to persevere through music and community. So my message? We can get through this time of challenge and change if we pull together and face ourselves.

Then the floodgates opened. I watched people flood into the streets to protest the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor killings and the growing acts of election suppression and wrote “Standing in Freedom’s Name” and “Let’s Meet Up Early.” I also arranged Malvina Reynolds' “It Isn’t Nice" as a tribute. Inspired by articles about workers who were being put in danger by callous factory owners and government officials, I wrote “My Working Bones.”

In the isolation of missing my girlfriend, who lives 10 hours away, I wrote “Come What May.” Then, watching street scenes on TV in 2020 that mirrored C.T. Vivian’s classic stand-off with Sheriff Jim Clark in Selma in 1965, I was inspired to write “It’s Who We Are.” It’s my challenge to the avoidance of questions of race, inequality and disenfranchisement that we as a nation are still struggling to face. But the protests showed a possible willingness to change?

I wrote the song "High Over the Hudson" about Pete Seeger in 2014 but never put it on a CD. And "Maybe It’s Love" was a fun writing exercise about the nature of romance. Song after song was born as a timely reflection on what was on my mind every day and as I would finish one song, another would rise up.

Soon I had 9 originals and 4 songs that I was inspired to arrange as covers and I thought, ”Looks like a CD to me.” 4. What was the process like bringing the album to life, and who did you work with to create it?

Recording this CD was both supremely challenging, deeply therapeutic and also the most relaxed I’ve ever been in the studio. The project gave me an outlet for stress. We had to be very careful about COVID-19 protocols and close proximity at all times. Travel was weird and in a few impossible moments, we worked remotely. I was also wondering if I’d ever get to go out and perform the songs once they were done or if anyone would ever buy physical music again since that has been decreasing for years. But as I called on musicians who were not only good friends but who I knew would respond to my vision, the way to proceed got clearer. My core co-contributors, Greg Greenway and Dave Schonauer, have been critical collaborators on my last three CDs. Greg and I have known each other for over 30 years and were born three days apart. So we have a language that just flows. We met and did pre-production in August and then hit the studio in September. Dave, the engineer at Morningstar Studios, is just brilliant. He makes things possible that most people don’t think of. Pat Wictor is my improvisational exploration brother as is Tom Prasado-Rao. Pat got up from a bout with COVID-19 and a recovery from tearing a tendon in his arm and played his newly retrained fingers off. Tom came out of a major bout with cancer and simmered with vocal ideas. They were all amazing at helping me chase my vision and “letting me be me" while adding brilliance and calling me on things didn’t quite measure up. We work at a level of trust that transcends words. I met bassist Chico Huff and drummer Matt Scarano when I recorded the CD Ready to Go in 2017-18 and they both play my music like they were there when I wrote it! Eric Byrd is a friend who is an amazing musical force and funny as hell. And Colleen Kattau, Mark Murphy and Ken Ulansey are longtime friends who just find the right temperature and vibe all the time. Everyone did what I love: They came in the door with passion and flexibility, brought their “A” games and didn’t leave until we got it right. And now Kari Estrin, Sarah Bennett and my friend Joann Murdock are helping me get it out to the world. 5. What do you have in store for the rest of 2021? I’m looking forward to continuing to unveil these songs, first during online concerts and then, as things begin to open up, with the start of whatever the new in-person performing landscape will become. I’ll continue to provide education videos for schools and doing lectures and residency work with colleges and universities on my own and through the Council of independent Colleges. The pandemic also gave me the time to work on a memoir which I’m trying to finish with a friend who is co-writing. And I’ll continue my work in civil, voting and human rights with the Living Legacy Project organization as we work to extend awareness and social activism. In my spare time, I hope to go to a few baseball games, see fully vaccinated friends for visits and hugs, watch a few movies and hopefully see my 76ers win the NBA championship. And I think I also need to get some rest.

Lily_Winterwood: A Dedicated Writer

AO3 Profile

Tumblr

One writer who has contributed a lot to this fandom is Lily_Winterwood ( @omgkatsudonplease) . She has thirteen works for the Yuri on Ice fandom, five of which are multi-chaptered while the rest are oneshots.

Lily can write fics that read like published novels and fics that can be quick go-to’s if a reader is looking for something short and good. With every work, she displays mastery in her diction, along with carefully crafted dialogues. No matter what the plot is, she knows how to pull it off well.

Her most successful work, Beside the Dancing Sea, is a collaboration with writer MapleTreeway ( @hannicanny ). The story is a Selkie AU, about author!Viktor taking a break in Torvill Cove, a little seaside town in Scotland, in order to find his inspiration to write again. While there, he encounters Yuuri Katsuki and a new chapter in Viktor’s life begins.

Presently, BTDS has 3, 500+ kudos and over 71k+ hits, marking it as one of the most loved fics in the fandom—and Lily, one of the most popular fic writers.

But how exactly did Lily get this successful?

Get to know more about this amazing writer under the cut.

Lily is a Chinese-American, born in the month of December. She moved to the US from China when she was a kid and Mandarin is her first language.

She started writing fics at the early age of eleven for the Harry Potter fandom. In fact, the “Lily” from her username is taken from the name of Harry’s mother, Lily Potter. One can still find Lily’s first fics in fictionalley.org, where she goes by the same pseudonym.

Lily recently graduated from Wellesley College with a major in Linguistics, Cinema and Cinematic studies. She considered taking Political Science before but then she realized that she’d rather pull all-nighters in writing scripts or in editing videos than in writing papers on policy.

Lily gets her fic ideas mostly from films she has watched and books she has read. For every idea that pops into her mind, she jots it down on a notebook. She now has a bucket-list of ideas that she would like to turn into fics before she dies and she carries this list with her across fandoms.

One item in the list was “long slow burn with multimedia as a pivotal part of the fic,” which was crossed out by the Selkie AU. The idea for that story was something Lily conceptualized out of boredom. She had known about selkies for a long time now, so she thought, “Why not a Selkie AU?”

When she was a kid, she was rather obsessed with the children’s book series, Magic Tree House, and one of its characters was a selkie. Also, she has always been interested with Celtic mythology and the British Isles’ culture in general so it’s no wonder that one of her fics would involve a creature from these myths.

When it comes to writing, Lily keeps two documents: a notes-document and a fic-document. If an idea from her bucket-list notebook moves to her notes-document in google docs, then that means she is taking the next step in developing it. She enjoys doing a lot of research and planning before writing for she often messes with the narrative timeline a lot. If the idea advances from the notes to her fic document, she is in the process of writing it.

However, despite the many good ideas she probably has on her list, it’s not all the time that her fics get the kind of reactions she wants. Even then, her rule of thumb is that if she knows that she has a story only she can tell, then she will tell it.

Beside the Dancing Sea is truly a blessing to this fandom. The writers did a lot of research about the sceneries and cultures of Torville Cove, effectively taking the readers to a poignant adventure by the sea.

I also really like how this story portrays depression and anxiety.

[Warning! BTDS Spoilers below.]

Nearing the end of BTDS, after Yuuri left Viktor to return to the sea, Viktor writes a book about their love, but which he only discards in the end. When he tells Yakov that he won’t continue with the publishing, Yakov replies:

“Don’t be. You sound like you’ve had a very trying year, Vitya. But sometimes the art you create at the worst times of your life are not going to be things you will revisit with fondness later on.”

And that, that reply, is very true to life. I’ve met some people glorifying depression as something that can make a person more artistic, but “artistic” is not the exact word. More like “careless,” not in a bad way, but in its literal sense of being accidental. Writing is a process, and editing is where the art comes in. However with depression, a person’s editing filter can be clouded with emotions and the things we create while we’re depressed really won’t be things that we’ll later revisit with fondness.

To see such concept being incorporated into a fic can be an eye-opener to those experiencing depression, and for that, I commend the writers for portraying it so well. And BTDS!Viktor’s depression and anxiety are very intricately written, giving his character more depth and the story more meaning.

It’s not about Viktor keeping Yuuri because he gets a little possessive (for fanservice or clickbait), but also about Viktor keeping Yuuri because he had been hurt once. Because he is scared and because Yuuri is the person who makes him feel so loved, and losing him would be like turning off the stars and shrouding the world in darkness.

[Spoilers End.]

For the most part, writing is energizing for Lily, although she admits that she often falls asleep while writing mid-sentence. Her friends would know that she’s writing a story because they won’t hear from her for a while. Lily would be madly writing out the idea before the inspiration for it dies.

When it comes to long WIPs, however, she is more disciplined and sits down to write a little of it every day–a little, she says, but she usually spends the whole day writing that she sometimes forgets to eat.

“When I was working on the Selkie AU, my friends had to drag me out for air once in a while,” shares Lily. “Besides my classes, I rarely left my room.”

Lily has also written a Kimi no na Wa AU entitled A Great Desire to Love, which she completed in only two to three days despite being in the middle of finals.

Now I really love Kimi no na Wa but I don’t think Lily was able to capture the feel of the movie with her fic–or maybe that’s just me saying that I was no longer surprised with anything because I already knew what will happen. Kimi no na Wa engulfed its viewers in a whirlwind of thrill and emotion, and that’s something I think Lily was not able to do with A Great Desire to Love. Then again, maybe she did, for those who read the fic without having seen the movie first.

[Warning: Kimi no na Wa and A Great Desire to Love Spoilers below]

I was hoping that Lily would cover the plot hole the movie presented: In the world of Mitsuha and Taki, calendars seem to be non-existent, even in their phones. I can’t believe none of them noticed that the other was from a different year.

At least, however, Lily presented Viktor noticing that he was in a banquet from a past competition. Compared to the movie, that is more realistic than Taki never finding out about their timelines until he tried visiting Mitsuha.

[Spoilers End]

For a fic that was written in such a short amount of time, I have to say A Great Desire to Love is still quite good.

Recently, Lily published a new multi-chaptered fic entitled Human by Choice. Although currently a WIP, I am adding it to my to-read list because the summary is very interesting. It tells the story of FBI Special Agent Yuuri Katsuki investigating the case of the murdered Emil Nekola in a small town in Oregon. A Murder Mystery AU. I repeat, MURDER MYSTERY AU. As an original idea coming from Lily, I could expect nothing less.

“I get a lot of people who applaud my talent or whatever and I always have to tell them that it's not talent, it's just 10 years of practice,” says Lily.

She attended the creative writing program at the California State Summer School for the Arts. She has even sat through countless writing workshops in order to hone her skill. But even after ten years of experience, Lily would still sit down and look over the words she has written and find that those are not the words she’d want to use.

“The ability to make someone feel something because of the way you arrange words on a page is something that takes time to hone and experiment with, like how artists play with different mediums and styles,” she says.

When asked what advice she would give to aspiring writers, she answers that they should just keep practising. “It’s like any art form,” she explains. “It always gets my goat a little when people take writing for granted like ‘oh I'll write a novel someday.’ Like, no you won't, writing a novel takes discipline and hard work like all other art forms.”

She then talks about how there are lots of different writing advices out there and although those are sometimes useful, she thinks that the best advice is to just find the right space, time, and mental state and then… practise.

According to Lily, some people will tell you to “just go for it, let the words flow, don't plan anything,” while others will tell you to plan every detail. Some people will tell you to write what you know and some people will tell you “f*ck that, write your convoluted self-insert OC with multi-colored wings.”

She adds that people will give all sorts of conflicting writing advices under the sun because they assume that they know how to write, when really writing is something intensely personal and individual to each person.

Therefore, to the writers out there, just keep practising. Even a great writer like Lily had to do ten years of it. There is no shortcut to honing a skill.

looking for more rp partners on discord!! would absolutely love another small town mumu (multimuse) or two, extra info about me & what i'm looking for under the cut!

i'd consider myself to be a pretty active rp partner for the most part (i'm in college plus i work sporadic hours as a private tutor) and when replies are on the shorter side, i can usually do at least one set of replies (if we are writing multiple threads at a time, i personally enjoy writing 2 at a time!) a day, but likely more, and i'm down for rapidfire sessions as well when i can! i prefer my partner to have similar activity (it's difficult for me to stay invested in an rp when it mostly just consists of hcs & shared inspo, and when there is very little actual writing happening), though i don't at ALL want my partner to feel pressured to write replies!! it's just a hobby, not a jobby! things happen & life gets busy! but i really appreciate communication and transparency with rp friends! just lmk what's up and i'll do the same for you! and if you can't do replies for some reason, i'm always happy to just chat ooc or do some inspo chatting or plotting!!

#discord 1x1 #1x1 #1x1 mumu #still looking! reposting for timezones + a lil more info #as if this massive ad needed any more 😭😭😂

Editor’s Picks: 20 of the Best Beauty Gift Ideas for Mom (That She’ll Actually Use)

What do you give to perhaps one of the most important names on your shopping list—your mom?

If she's anything like mine, she'll claim that she "doesn't really need anything."

That's why the holidays are the perfect excuse to pamper her with skincare and makeup treats that she wouldn't normally buy for herself.

Below, find this year's best beauty gifts that any mom will love.

Beauty Gifts for Mom

Beauty gifts for mom from Charlotte Tilbury, neuLASH, Lanolips, Omorovicza, Caudalie, Slip, Foreo and NuFace.

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Advent Calendar

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Advent Calendar is a set of 12 makeup and skincare products, housed in an advent-style box that's so fun to open. Four of the products are full-sized: matte lipstick, glossy lipstick, eyeshadow pencil and cream eyeshadow. You also get travel-sized primer, mascara, eyeliner, makeup remover, face mask, moisturizer, balm and body shimmer.

Omorovicza Sephora Exclusive Holiday Intro Set

Omorovicza Sephora Exclusive Holiday Intro Set is an introduction to one of the best (and most luxurious clean skincare brands. The five travel-sized products include a cleansing balm, a foaming cleanser, mud mask, moisturizer and the cult-favourite face mist. See my review of the brand here.

Tory Burch Perry Quilted Nylon Small Cosmetic Case

Tory Burch Perry Quilted Nylon Small Cosmetic Case (available in gold and hot pink) is a super-durable nylon makeup bag to hold all her essentials. I have one from a few seasons ago and it's basically indestructible!

L’Occitane Hand Cream Trio

L'Occitane Hand Cream Trio

L'Occitane Hand Cream Trio gives her three tubes of nourishing, shea butter-based hand cream in limited-edition packaging. (What mom doesn't love hand lotion?!)

Slip Beauty Sleep Collection

Slip Beauty Sleep Collection includes a sleep mask and a pillowcase, both made from pure, high-quality silk. Not only are they luxurious to use, but the reduced friction prevents skin from developing "sleep creases" and helps hairstyles to last longer.

Caudalie Premier Cru Absolute Anti-Aging Solution

Caudalie Premier Cru Absolute Anti-Aging Solution targets signs of aging with hyaluronic acid, resveratrol and grapevine sap. The full-sized eye cream is currently part of my skincare routine, and I love it! There's also a matching serum and moisturizer.

NuFace Trinity Mini Shimmer All Night Set

NuFace Trinity Mini Shimmer All Night Set has all she needs to get started with microcurrent—one of the only skin-firming treatments that actually does work! You get the device plus the gel primer, a line-smoothing serum and a mirrored compact.

Natori Luxe Shangri-La Knit Robe

Natori Luxe Shangri-La Knit Robe will keep her cosy while performing her beauty rituals. It's made from a soft stretch knit, is machine-washable, and comes in an array of colours with contrasting lace trim.

Fresh Radiance Ritual Set

Fresh Radiance Ritual Set contains an array of firming and hydrating skincare products that are sure to please every mom. There's a gentle cleanser, a whipped moisturizer, a lip balm and two indulgent face masks—one with black tea, and the other with real rose petals.

Harry Josh Pro Tools Ultra Light Pro Dryer

Harry Josh Pro Tools Ultra Light Pro Dryer is a pro-quality ionic hairdryer that significantly cuts down on drying time, thanks to its fast motor speed. It's also quiet, super lightweight and even helps to reduce frizz. Mom deserves a decent hairdryer!

The White Company Luxury Set

The White Company Luxury Set is perfect for a fragrant, full-body pampering session. The four-piece set includes a bath and shower gel, body soap and body lotion, plus a matching candle for ambience.

Foreo Luna 3 for Sensitive Skin

Foreo Luna 3 for Sensitive Skin is a cleansing brush and anti-aging treatment in one. The gentle silicone bristles remove dirt and makeup without irritation, while the reverse side pulsates to increase blood flow and elasticity. There's also a matching app, which guides you through various facial massage routines.

Filorga Plumping Must-Have

Filorga Plumping Must-Have is for the mom who is serious about skincare. This set features two full-sized products: an intensive hyaluronic acid serum, and a peptide-based anti-wrinkle cream. This line is one of my mom's all-time favourites (and she's tried everything!).

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm Duo

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm Duo gives her two tubes of lip balm—and not just any lip balm. This stuff is the Holy Grail! Made from 100 percent natural lanolin, it heals chapping like nothing else (and also works on cuticles, nasal passages and dry skin patches).

UGG Genuine Shearling Slipper

UGG Genuine Shearling Slipper is a treat for her feet: plush, comfy slippers made from genuine sheepskin. They're designed to be worn barefoot for maximum coziness, and there are eight colours to choose from.

PMD Personal Microderm Classic Device

PMD Personal Microderm Classic Device is an at-home microdermabrasion system that delivers the same skin-smoothing and brightening results as professional treatments. It comes with six different discs for customizing the exfoliation level.

Guerlain Orchidée Impériale Anti-Aging Set

Guerlain Orchidée Impériale Anti-Aging Set is the Rolls Royce of luxury skincare. What mom wouldn't want to receive this full-sized eye and lip cream in the most stunning gold and navy packaging?! Also included is an essence, a serum and a face cream.

Vitruvi Stone Diffuser

Vitruvi Stone Diffuser, made from matte ceramic, uses ultrasonic technology (not heat) to diffuse essential oils. So it creates a gorgeous-smelling home, without the chemicals of room fresheners and candles.

Claus Porto Deco Mini Soap Collection

Claus Porto Deco Mini Soap Collection features the most beautiful and colourful soaps I've ever seen. You get nine miniature soap bars, each one hand-wrapped in Art Deco-inspired packaging.

neuLASH Beauty on the Go Mini Kit

neuLASH Beauty on the Go Mini Kit helps her grow fuller, stronger eyelashes and eyebrows. This set includes both a lash-enhancing serum and a brow-enhancing serum, along with a bonus exfoliating scrub for brighter skin. I've been using the lash treatment this year and it really does work!

By the time spring comes home around we are all dying to get out and discover our friends again. That is one reasons why spring is a big debut season for several fashion lines. It is the perfect season to reinvent yourself. A lot of your friends haven't seen you since the fall, and you'll come back out on the scene using a completely new style. Online retailers aren't selling cheap knock-off brands either. It's the "real deal" as it were. Brand names like Movado, Tag Heuer, and Stuhrling are available for 40-70% off of the original price. For many, these luxury brands have always seemed of reach. Not everyone have enough money to spend $2,000 on the watch. But when that price dips to $600 since the watch is 70% off, how may you not join that deal? The watch slips into a budget we feel comfortable with. Our friends do not have to know that we got this type of amazing deal. Their jaws will drop regardless because you're wearing a Stuhrling Original.

The automatic version is driven by the C01.211 chronograph movement and will come in a restricted edition of 2,011 pieces. The quartz version will likely be created in a few 8,888 pieces. The Tissot T-Race MotoGP will be the third model which is unlimited and will come in the colors of silver, black and red. There will be 18 races for the season and Tissot is getting ready to go. For this individual his style is one of a form. He's unafraid of bold fashion styles that challenge the status quo. This is the guy which will wear the bold color faces or perhaps the more ostentatious designs with showy accents. In fact he's so comfortable in his skin he revels inside attention it brings. A mens await this way icon runs the creative gamut from your simplistic minimalism towards the outer limits of the outrageous.
