Books of 2024: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE by Shirley Jackson.
I'm buddy reading this with @asexualbookbird! Ey have a library reading challenge going on, I need a masterclass in Dread Building for writing revision purposes (and yeah okay you can never start NaNo prep reading too early, catch me trying to write a haunted house story this year), the timing works out great, so! Here we go!!
Last week I had a total makeup dream come true and I had to tell you all about it. I was invited to The Magic of Skincare conference hosted by Charlotte Tilbury herself at John Lewis Oxford Street. The event was a whole experience starting off with greeting Charlotte by her makeup stand on the ground floor, the atmosphere was electric and it was crazy seeing her in real life! Once she made her entrance we were guided to the 3rd floor for drinks and treats before the masterclass.
At this point I met some lovely people who were fans of the brand and just as excited as I was. Once we were let into the waiting area we got our wristbands for the event, which made me get even more excited about the event. At 1pm we were guided into the masterclass where you got a gorgeous goodie bag full of travel sized products and a voucher for a skincare experience which was so generous of the team.
When the masterclass started and Charlotte entered the room I was starstruck and held on to every word she said about her products. The more she spoke about her products the more you could see how passionate she is about her creations. I already dored the woman but seeing her in person was pure magic. After Charlotte did her hour talk about the products, she invited her skincare specialists to demonstrate her skincare products in real life. It was so cool seeing how they applied the products in real time and thankfully I'm applying them correctly which is good to know.
After the tutorial finished Charlotte came back to meet everyone from the class and take photos. Honestly I couldn't of been more excited to meet her and she was so kind, she complimented my makeup which honestly made my whole life! She could name every product I had on my face and was so funny. Honestly they say don't meet your heroes but she was everything and more! After you met Charlotte you then got the chance meet one of the pro makeup artists and discuss the skincare products and see what works best for you. The whole experience was amazing.
If you ever get a chance to go to a Charlotte Tilbury masterclass you have to go. They are honestly so much fun and you learn so much about the products.

We had another stunning weekend in Ōtepoti for the Wildlife Photography Masterclass a few weeks ago!
I’ve not run a workshop in spring before, so it was interesting to see what the wildlife was up to compared to our trip back in May. Big highlights were seeing mama pakake (New Zealand sea lion) Mia and her yearling pup Sienna dozing on Alan’s beach, the tara (White-fronted tern) colony on…

An Insignificant Battle for Significance by Maria L. Berg 2023
Today I set out to capture the insignificance in significance and the significance in insignificance. To make something significant is to give it importance, consequence, meaning. Giving part of an image significance is a matter of composition. An object can be significantly larger or smaller than the other elements. It can be the…
The world of makeup artistry is not just about applying lipstick and eyeshadow. It’s an art form that requires skill, dedication, and passion. For those who have a natural flair for makeup and a love for transforming faces, a career in makeup artistry can be the perfect blend of passion and profession. Dive into the myriad opportunities that makeup artistry courses offer and carve a niche for yourself in this booming industry.
Photography is an art form that has fascinated people for years, allowing us to capture and freeze moments in time. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned photographer, there's always room for improvement and growth in this ever-evolving field. That's where a Photography Masterclass comes in. A Photography Masterclass is an immersive and intensive learning experience that aims to enhance your photography skills and knowledge. It offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers various aspects of photography, including technical skills, composition, lighting, post-processing techniques, and more. The primary goal of a Photography Masterclass is to help you gain a deeper understanding of the craft and unlock your creative potential. Throughout the masterclass, you'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced and accomplished photographers who will share their insights and techniques. They will provide guidance and feedback, helping you improve your skills and overcome any challenges you may face. You'll also have the chance to engage with other photography enthusiasts, share ideas, and learn from each other's experiences. One of the significant benefits of a Photography Masterclass is the hands-on approach it offers. You'll have ample opportunities to practice what you've learned, putting your skills into action and refining your techniques. This practical experience is invaluable, as it allows you to apply theory to real-life.
I posted this photo to Instagram a while back, but it’s a bad platform for landscape-orientation images. They don’t lend themselves to the scroll well. Here it is in all its wide-winged glory, with stormy clouds behind. I love a bit of rim-lighting in patchy cloud conditions, where it gives you the opportunity to pop your subject forward from a dark background. A little contrast adjusting in…
