The Craft

Well its that time of year again were all I really want to do is drink red wine, light candles and incense and watch The Craft. A film about feminine strength within a witches coven. This film addresses issues such as domestic violence, attempted rape, slut shaming, girl hate, racism and body insecurity without being preachy.

These issues are so important and It gives the film substance and is one of the reasons I believe it was such a hit. Not to mention is was just fucking cool especially if you were anything like me; A teenager who was against the world and the only thing you cared about was your rebelling with your best friends and your grungy music.For me and I am sure for many other people this film is inspiring and influential. A classic for anyone's collection.

My Favorite Incense

I love incense like a lot of people. They make a room atmospheric and I make quite strong connection between something I smell with memories and thoughts I have. Also I find they can help me be more creative when I am chilling in my bedroom. I can suffer from anxiety from time to time, a year ago my anxiety was at its worst and I found using meditation teamed with candles and incense really helped!
So here are a few of my favourite scents that you should try if you haven't already.

Spiritual Sky (They come in a range of scents such as Opium which is my fav, and the packaging is so pretty)

A classic - Nag champa

Jasmin which i find refreshing and relaxing

Lavender - Soothing and great after a long day

Violet

The Darker Side of Hollywood: Lupe Velez

The story of Lupe Velez has always been so interesting to me. I have always been infatuated with vintage Hollywood for its great films, captivating aesthetics and beautiful actresses. Some being amazingly strong and fascinating women.  The story of Lupe unfortunately doesn't end in a happily ever but I cant help but be intrigued in the accounts of Hollywood stars that towards the end of their careers have declined and fallen into the darker sides of fame. How this affects them is so interesting. Hollywood has always been glamorized and I think especially in this era we see it most.
