BLOGGER OF THE MONTH
Our blogger of the month shares what fashion truly means to her. I’ll be honest, I do not know what fashion is and I do not know if I’m going to fashion; That’s what least worries me ... I like something, I know that I look good, I use it ... I’m not a person who follows predetermined rules when dressing. Everything depends on my main piece to highlight. I focus on that object and try to get the best context around where my key piece is the protagonist. I like to attach myself as much as I can to Real Life, and the country where I am. For example; Now I am in Mexico in my Real Life and I try to give the colors of Mexico to my stylings. She also draws inspiration for her blog pictures from a combination of new items and those already in her inventory to create compelling works of fashion art.
AND I have SO many things to do, I have very little time as a blogger; I’m still in that moment that I try everything, without getting my own style ... But that’s what I like; Be brave and bold without the pressure of if I do wrong. I want to continue learning and continue to improve and that is only achieved by practicing so that is what I want to keep opportunities to continue to blog picture, that they can be impress or blown away as I am with their work.. We’re looking forward to seeing more stunning styles from this great blogger!

PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE B Y VA L S N I A
* IN EVERYTHING, THERE IS A SHARE OF EVERYTHING. IN THIS MONTH’S PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE, WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS THE ABOVE QUOTE BY ANAXAGORAS, GREEK PHILOSOPHER OF 5TH CENTURY. YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT IT MEANS OR MAY BE UNDERSTOOD IT OR KNOW IT BEFORE AND GRINNING DEVILISHLY TO SEE WHAT I AM GOING TO TELL YOU ON THIS. I ACCEPT GREEK PHILOSOPHY IS HARD TO DECIPHER AS IT HOLDS LOTS OF INFORMATION WITHIN A SINGLE LINED SENTENCE. BUT WOW THIS STATEMENT HOLDS THE SECRET TO PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, PROBLEM SOLVING METHODOLOGIES, YOU NAME MORE OF IT. AS SOON AS I HEARD THIS BEAUTIFUL QUOTE I REMEMBER A STORY TOLD BY MY NANA TO 13 YEAR OLD OF ME. THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS. ‘THERE WAS A KING RULING THE BIGGEST EMPIRE OF THE WORLD. ANY RULER WOULD JUST PLEDGE HIS LAND AND WEALTH JUST TO GET IN GOOD PLACE WITH HIM. HE HAVE KILLED MANY AND MADE MANY LIVE. HE WAS A DEVIL AND AN ANGEL AT THE SAME TIME. HIS RULE WAS CONTROLLED BY POWER AND STRONG BUREAUCRACY. AFTER HE GOT OLD, HE STARTED REALISING THAT HIS EMPIRE IS DECLINING. AND WHEN HE STARTED ANALYSING FOR REASON, HE FOUND THAT ONE THING HE DID LEAD TO ANOTHER. THE SUCCESS HE THOUGHT IT WAS, WASN’T ACTUALLY A SUCCESS. THE FAILURES HE THOUGHT HAVE BROUGHT HIM DOWN WAS NOT ACTUALLY A FAILURE. HE REALISED THAT HIS SUCCESS IS THE REASON BEHIND THE DECLINE OF HIS RULE. PEOPLE GOT BORED. PROSPERITY LIKE HE THOUGHT DIDN’T OFFER ANYTHING. AND FINALLY HE DIED WITH HIS HEART REALISING THAT ANYTHING WHICH IS RESULTING IN SOMETHING WILL SURELY HAVE A SHARE OF EVERYTHING.’ AND NOW, THAT’S WHAT EXACTLY THIS PHILOSOPHY MEANS. YOU MIGHT FEEL THE PAIN OF FAILURE TODAY, THE PAIN OF LOSS, THE PAIN OF LOVE. BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THIS PAIN IS BAD EFFECT ON YOU FUTURE SELF. I KNOW THAT MAY SAY WE SHOULD LIVE LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW. BUT ISN’T IT A LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL OF US TO DO THAT? LET’S LIVE LIFE LIKE THERE’S A TOMORROW. THE TOMORROW WHICH WILL LEAD TO LOT OF LESSONS, THE TOMORROW WHICH WILL OFFER US NEW PEOPLE, NEW JOBS. A LIFE IS NOT THE RESULT OF ONE ACTIVITY. IT’S THE OVERALL SCORE OF YOU WHOLE LIFE AND THE MARKS YOU PRESUME IS JUST AN ASSUMPTION AS LIFE SEEMS TO USE A DIFFERENT SOFTWARE TO TALLY HOW “IN EVERYTHING, THERE’S A SHARE OF EVERYTHING.” THANK YOU FOR READING. MEET YOU SOON WITH AUGUST ISSUE. TAKE CARE.

Where SL Takes Us: The Netherwood
“Netherwood while a fictional name is inspired by the picturesque English Lake District where I have lived all of my life, i decided it was time for me to do a build based on my local surroundings which I have enjoyed on a daily basis for many years & share with others the experience and views I see every day, which I feel very grateful to have� - Lauren Bentham
Landing at the teleport point of the Netherwood you can see an old train track with a small wood on your right side and the Lakepark office on your left side. It strongly gives you the sense that you are just entering such area. Walking down the train track you will reach the area of a small village by the lake. It is very typical with some livestock and horses around, the old garage with old car too.
The village surrounded by mountains is a perfect scenery for you and your friends or your ones to hang out and have a summer picnic this month.
