In the aspect of art, I’ve always been literary-inclined. I’ve written more essays and poetry than I’ve used a pencil to sketch. This comes as a suprise to some because I come from a family who designs for a living. My grandfather is an architect, my parents have taken architecture and have designed the interior

A flat lay is an image that consists of a set of objects of the same theme arranged in an order. The image is usually taken from a height and it should usually appear neat and organized. Here are a couple of flat lays of films I found on Twitter that I liked: This immediately

If you’ve known me in the past 3 years, you probably know of my struggle as a student journalist. There was a time when I juggled being a third-year Radiologic Technology student, editor-in-chief, photojournalist, feature editor, and lay-out editor of the school paper. It wasn’t easy but that part of my life definitely taught me

I’ve always considered myself arte. I’d been the little girl who chose princesses and castles over restaurants and toy-cooking. I remember having one of those cute and extremely extravagant (for a 5 or 6 year old) make-up treasure chests. It had lipsticks of different colors (I loved the blue one), glittery eyeshadow and various iridescent blushes.
