Writer’s Corner
Cue my dramatic entrance! I’m thrilled to be in your inbox today - kindly read that musically.
Between whipping up some seriously excellent articles (no spoilers, but think makeup trends and a world-favourite fashion staple – don’t worry, you’ll see) and tinkering with beaded rings for myself, this week has been a rollercoaster. Can I be honest? I may or may not have sent a few prayers for the weekend to come racing in – not that I have grand plans, but you catch my drift.
One thing has been constant on my mind this week: creative outlets. Those nifty ways to express yourself and your thoughts without feeling like you’re doing chores. Drawing? Well, my stick figures would probably make you giggle. Painting? Let’s just say it’s a work in progress. Cooking? The ROI (Return on Invested energy) doesn’t always add up.
But hey, hope springs eternal. I’m eyeing crochet (those trendy knits in our FW 23/24 feature have me spellbound), dabbling in bead-making, and maybe even trying my hand at musical instruments – trust me, my neighbours are in for a treat! Oh, and there’s also the idea of self-discovery on the table (thanks to that thought-provoking period cycle article). Maybe I’ll dive into digital collage-making – who knows?
So, here’s the juicy question: What’s your creative outlet? I’m all eyes and genuinely curious to know how you let your creative sparks fly!
