If you want to read but don’t know where to start, poetry books are the way to go.
Reading poetry is perfect for those who are just starting in the world of reading. Unlike long novels, it is super easy to understand and also awakens your creativity. Don’t believe all the stereotypes that verses are always about love or that metaphors are super complicated: the world of poetry is super varied.
This book has brief comforting thoughts/ideas, some might think what is the use of reading a book like this? But for us personally, we feel that this book brings comfort on every page, it’s like you’re reminded of every little thing you knew about yourself but kept forgetting.
Kate talks about real-world topics, and her social commentary is beautifully written. She sees themes related to motherhood and marriage through a lens of raw and honest emotions, moving from joy to pain, to passion, to fear, and everything in between seamlessly, often in just a few lines or stanzas.
Rupi Kaur is one of the most popular poets of our time, and for good reason. In “The Sun and Its Flowers” she explores themes such as love, loss, and self-discovery. Her poems are like rays of sunshine on a cloudy day, full of positivity and joy.
Through various investigations and hard data, real particular stories, and reinventing reality, Zapata starts from all this to poetize nature: whales, horses, bears, dogs, gorillas, and others. She makes an original and very poetic creative exercise where he denounces our dealings with nature and how magical, lyrical animals are by themselves.
This collection is a good introduction to her work, published in 2017, a couple of years before her passing. The book presents more than 200 of his poems arranged in reverse chronological order, the most recent first. Her poetry is full of awe at the simplest things, her sense of the oneness of all things, and her desire to be one with them. Some of our favorite poems are “Praying,” “Why I Wake Early,” and “The Gift.”
This book combines Noor Unnahar’s powerful poetic voice and signature collage-style visual art into a book of very personal reflections on loss, inheritance, and what lies behind the non-linear path to becoming who you ought to be. Some of our favorite poems are: “The Hunted”, “Pockets” and “My mother asks about love” and one of our favorite quotes is: “You were so protected once – it almost made you ungrateful.”
Picture this: a serene evening by the fire, cradling a glass of your favorite red wine—utterly calming and romantic. This cozy, sultry sentiment is finding its way into beauty trends, notably with the emergence of red wine lips as a striking addition to your autumnal makeup repertoire. Whether complementing a latte-inspired look or infusing a burst of color into the widely adored clean girl makeup, red wine lips are an enduring trend of the season. The beauty of it lies in its versatility, making it a cherished choice for makeup enthusiasts.
WHAT IS ‘RED WINE’ MAKEUP? Now first things first, we’re not inviting you to splash some red vino on your face and call it a day. No, this beauty trend, while being similar to the ‘Tomato Girl’ Makeup look, incorporates the iconic elements of the drink—from that burgundy stain it gives your lips to the overall, sophisticated aesthetic red wine drinkers have. Red wine-inspired makeup should give off elegance and sophistication whilst still appearing sexy. The key to achieving this look is striking the perfect balance between full glam and a natural, dewy finish.

This is a reminder to highlight your lips in your fall beauty routine. Oftentimes, we merely slap some balm on and call it a day, but implementing a routine lip scrub goes a long way. Once your lips are prepped and primed, it’s time to go in with a lip liner. Opt for a dark maroon color that will enhance your natural shape. Use a lip brush or a clean finger to gently blend this line inwards for a softer effect. Now you’re ready to apply lipstick. The most important thing is to pick a shade that quite literally mimics a glass of your favorite merlot. We suggest YSL’s Burnt Suede or Anastasia Beverly Hills Satin Velvet Lipstick Blackberry.
With a light hand, dab this lipstick onto your lips, focusing on the centermost part for a more dimensional plump. From here, you are almost done. Finish off the red wine lips trend by topping with a juicy lip gloss. While a clear formula works, ared-based gloss will add that last touch of color that will make your lips pop.
Have you ever seen a more lip perfect shade for autumn?
Replying to @ambers778 The red wine makeup look 🖤 This is one of my favorites, the beauty is in the small details 😚 It is very much focused on the base, with the skin just the right amount of glowy. For everyone, this might mean something a little different but that is why we use the moonlight test 😉 Scattered glitter on a simple lid, and finally the strong lip liner for post wine and ricotta lips #maccosmetics#saiebeauty#hourglasscosmetics#youthtothepeople
