Beaut of the Month - @megannreading
Hello! My name is Megan, I'm 21 from a small village in South Yorkshire.
I get a lot of my inspiration from Instagram it's really helped me find and develop my own sense of style! I also take a lot of inspiration from Tim Burton, I love his dark aesthetic! Beetlejuice is a really big inspiration to me hense my green hair and love for monochrome stripes!
I can remember from a really young age I've always been drawn to dark and spooky things mainly from growing up watching Tim Burton films. But I can remember been really young and seeing a goth for the first time and thinking I want to look like that! So I used to buy items from blue banana and that really kicked off my love for dark style. However between the ages of 15 and 19 I drifted away from my own style as I felt like I didn't fit in with everyone else and people would make fun of me. Although I've gone back to my normal ways as I just didn't feel like myself and now I'm really happy and don't take any notice when people do try and make nasty comments.
I love getting ready! Doing my makeup, picking what jewellery to wear and putting an outfit together! It really makes me feel awesome and my most confident!
The thing I love most about social media is how I've connected with so many lovely spooky people like me! It's really made me feel more confident knowing I share a style with other people! And knowing we can all support each other even when others don't. I also love that it's helped me to find so many amazing small business such as this one! I never would have even thought to buy jewellery from a small business a year ago, and now I won't buy from the high Street. The love and care that goes into every purchase just makes it all feel so much more personal!
The only thing I don't like about social media is sometimes we see things that aren't necessarily reality, and we can sometimes pull ourselves down and think why don't I look like that? or why isn't my life like that? And we just need to remind ourselves that there is a lot of editing and people will only show what they want you to see.
If I was able to talk to my younger self I'd tell her not to care what other people say or think! You'll find you're own style and learn to own it! You'll also learn who you're real friends are and realise less is more!
The Yule Box
First off.. what is Yule?
For you young witches/others who may not know, Yule is a celebration of the Return of the Sun. After months of the Winter Solstice, the Sun finally shines through making the days shorter.
How is Yule Celebrated?
It is essentially a ceremony of lit candles to encourage the sun to grow stronger and brighter in all its glory. Yule rituals can focus on peace, increased happiness and harmony and positive planning for the future.
What's in The Yule Box?
Well, I've taken A LOT of thought and consideration into what goes into The Yule Box because I am very much aware its an extremely important time of year for some, so I want it to be a celebration of all things positive; as this is what is portrayed in the Wiccan tradition. It is a celebration of light, radiance, all things warm.
