I had already started my watercolor journey by taking a class and YTing, so I had supplies and a little bit of experience going in, but even the beginning lessons were pretty useful to me. I was actually impressed with the organization of this book and I do believe that if someone takes the time to do all the lessons they can learn fairly quickly. The book is broken down by day with a time limit to set aside and the objective for that day. She eases readers into the world of watercoloring by talking about supplies, color theory, and a few easy practices. Jenna's style is very casual and it almost feels like a friend is teaching you. However, this book doesn't focus on style nor does it go into how to achieve that loose floral look, rather it's a good foundational book on how to get started with watercolors. Her specialty seems to be the type of loose florals that are pictured on the cover, which is not everyone's style. I came to know Jenna Rainey from following her on Instagram. Not that I have any inclinations of staying at the rear to direct things when the heat of battle is upon us. Or as you humanoids might say, I am the Field Marshal of the Horde army. My name is Angule, and I have assumed the mantle of Prime Catalyct of the Kresh. Who are you, and what is your role within the Horde? The interview is set during the interval between the end of the prequel and the beginning of the main series itself, and reveals surprising details as to what makes these entities tick. This creature is here to tell us about its existence as a member of the Kresh – or as we call them, the Horde – a rampaging legion of mutated horrors that managed to overthrow an advanced space faring civilization at the height of its power. Dear readers, tonight with us is an antagonist, a most intimidating character. Also, we were right at the beginning of our careers and we were forging our way forward and these incredible things were starting to happen. It reminds me of when were young and going out and those sort of carefree years where we were just growing up. When I look at the pictures, that’s what I see in them, because I see the feeling in her eyes. When I was going through all the pictures, it just really brought me back to when Kate and I were together. What memories were stirred up in revisiting this project? I know these pictures were taken over 20 years ago, but they look like they could have been shot yesterday. Here, Sorrenti breaks down what went into the making of his and her big break, why they didn’t wear sunscreen, and the pure magic of Kate Moss. The resulting rehash is as on point as ever with the cultural zeitgeist: nostalgia. He’s so cool,” says Sorrenti of collaborating with the creative lead. Simons tapped fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti to revisit the archives of his iconic Obsession shoot with then girlfriend, supermodel Kate Moss, commissioned by Calvin Klein himself back in 1993. New to Calvin Klein, Raf Simons, has shepherded the next generation of the iconic Obsession family into the world with Obsessed, but its not just the juice that’s a total knockout. This was a very well researched book, and I loved how thoughtfully it was put together. Her home life was messy, she had many relationships, but they couldn't hold up under her lifestyle. She was hard drinking, smoked continuously, partied hard, but somehow managed what few others reporting could and did. They showed the world the injustices happening. When other reports left the dangerous areas for safety, she would stay longer, always aware that her stories mattered. She would leave part of herself in Sri Lanka, and report on carnages everywhere. Would meet Gaddaffi, who was one strange duck.Īrrafat and his wife would befriend and try to protect her. She reported on all the major atrocities of our times. She was full of contradictions, throwing herself in danger in the most notorious places, yet yearning for a stable, loving marriage and children. Now she would never gain her father's approval, something that haunted her. Her father often despaired of his daughters decisions, and his early death left Marie feeling guilty and needy. Her life from the beginning was one of non conformity. Fearless, reckless, addicted to adventure and danger, all descriptions used to describe war correspondent, Marie Colvin.

So how do you know if you’re “appropriately engaged” with the things you need to do? “The more it’s on your mind, the more it’s not happening, the more you’re inappropriately engaged with it,” according to Allen. Some even draw parallels between his central premise–that we should empty our minds of the task-related information to properly engage with the present moment–and Eastern mindfulness philosophies such as Buddhism. “If you don’t have psychological space, you could have two hours of free time and waste it.”Īllen’s converts-who include the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith-often credit his system with helping them unlock creative flow states and higher levels of cognitive thought. What they lacked before using his system was “psychic bandwidth,” he explains. He says the leaders he works with often report having a “stream of ideas and visions about their company and their future” the very next day after implementing his system. According to Allen, GTD will unlock powerful bursts of creative energy and free you from the mundane realities of your task-driven existence. |
