The Creative Independent

i find myself lacking creativity lately; i thoroughly blame college for it which i feel like should enhance it but apparently not. so lately i’ve been looking for some sort of guidance and also interesting articles to read on my commute to uni instead of mindlessly doomscrolling (which i also love doing). there are so many categories to choose from like zines and essays along with a collection of tips and guides which i find quite useful and entertaining! i absolutely love this site! its my little corner of the internet that actually helps me too and exposes me to so many things.

Fragrantica, thriftbooks, the creative indepedent, are.na

these tabs are always open on my laptop!!! ive recently entered into the world of perfume, which is so cool that you can basically just smell like anything. mondays i smell like lemons. wednesdays are mint and basil. fragrantica is basically just a catalog of almost every perfume and shows reviews, pros and cons, online listings, all the notes. you can sort perfumes by scents too and find similar perfumes to ones you already know. even if im not buying anything i just like to look at the pictures. i do have a shopping addiction that i inherited from my mother which im trying to break, but her one rule was that she would always buy me a book if i asked for it. plus buying secondhand is so much cheaper and cooler!!! on thrift books, you can sort through all the copies they have a certain book, basically you can pick out what cover speaks to you the most. and most stuff is very cheap, you can also sort by condition, i love a good beat up book. the creative independent is a blog? (i guess in a sense) that interviews creative people almost daily and categorizes the interviews into different areas of the creative process; i.e., “making time for creative work”, ”developing a creative process”, “running a business”, and ”becoming an artist”. they talk to some big names along with niche guys, i’ve discovered a lot of cool art and such through the interviewees. i love the nicole mclaughlin interview are.na is basically pinterest but aimed towards design students, which im not, but i do enjoy the structure of it more over pinterest, you do only get a certain number of ”blocks” (pins) before having to pay a subscription, i do believe students get it for free tho!

Damn this site is enjoyable. I’ve been in a slump with news and boring bullshit on instagram that I’m happy I found this. Also if anyone wants to recommend unpopular Artists I would love it (just want inspiration for my photography) :)
