I\u2019m going to share my FIRST COLOUR COLLECTION with you! Oh yeahhhhh! After months of journeying into figuring out how the color thing works, a whole collection has taken shape. And after drawing a tonne of inspiration from the master colorista herself, mother nature, it\u2019s no surprise the identities they\u2019ve taken on have ended up revolving around the elements (with galaxies thrown in for good measure). The meanings of these pieces have always evolved out of things I\u2019m going through and over the past few months I\u2019ve been walking through what has at times felt like the depths of hell\u2026 As the other half of a journey into heaven. Each of the elements has carried with it some form of lesson\/helping hand in handling the hell part. Which brings us to\u2026 . ** Aurelia \u2013 Heaven ** Heaven on earth is waiting for us to\u00a0relax into our hearts,\u00a0release the burdens we hold onto and wake up from the dream of stress.\u00a0Aurelia's inspiration was born out of the infinite wonder to be\u00a0found in\u00a0the\u00a0skies and galaxies above us. When the problems of day-to-day life begin to weigh\u00a0you down and rob you of your bliss, Aurelia\u00a0invites you to gaze upwards and consider\u00a0the vast beauty\u00a0of the universe we live in, reminding us of the\u00a0miracles to be found in each\u00a0moment. . If you, like me, have a busy bee mind, this has been particularly great for managing that. When we\u2019re in a state of stress (and when we\u2019re going through more challenging times) the mind loves to take something pretty small and turn it into something unnecessarily BIG. Molehill > MOUNTAIN. Argument > END OF THE WORLD. So when I find my focus narrowing in on the self-perpetuating stress, I expand my focus outwards to balance my perspective. Really outwards. Like galaxy outwards. I go outside, look up at the sky and take a few minutes to contemplate the vastness of the universe we live in. How we\u2019re chilling on a rock, floating around a ball of firey gas, existing in amongst an inconceivable amount of galaxies and stars. May seem corny and the mind will resist at first but look up at the sky – it\u2019ll take you there! And envelope you in the wonder of it all if you allow it to \ud83d\udcab . P.S. Available to buy on my website! (Link in bio)
