1. Unlocking the Beauty Within: Exploring Cult Favourites

From defining natural afros to perfecting kohl-rimmed eyes, it’s no secret that cultural beauty trends have graced us with some of the most iconic looks of our time. Let’s explore the cult favourites that have crowds flocking to recreate them – and turn discovering beauty into a beautiful experience.

• Fearless Statement Eyes – From sultry smoky eyes to intense artistic graphic lines, beauty trends with the eyes at the centre remain classic. Whether you prefer to take it low-key with the good-old classic cat eye, or ready to test out shapes and colours, fearlessly strive for a statement eye look.
• Genuine Glow – Glittery highlighters, shimmery powders, and fun coloured blushers are a great way to instantly add life and colour to your face. However, for an effortless look that still gives off alive vibe, natural highlights and dewy gels are your way to go for a genuine glow.
• Pop of Colour -From banging neon’s to profound burgundy’s, colour is a healer. When it comes to lip colour, reach for shades that are as bold as they are timeless, since this is the first thing a person notices upon encounter. Alternatively, if you are not confident to go all the way in with the main colour, faint hints here and there of subtle tones do wonders as well.

And of course, don’t forget to experiment! Pair your base makeup with one or two of your favourite beauty trends, it will help bring out your uniqueness and confidence to the fullest.

In today’s world, beauty not only comes in a variety of shapes and forms, but it can also be interpreted differently. Exploring what works best for YOU is the best way to truly nurture the beauty within.

2. Journey of Discovery: Finding New Treasures While Travelling

Exploring new places is one of life’s most thrilling experiences, and one of the best ways to do it is by travelling. Knowing that somewhere out there in the world, something new, unusual and unexpected is waiting to be discovered is a rush like no other.

Treasures Old and New
When travelling, there are always places to visit that you can find in guidebooks, and these often have much to offer in the form of history, culture and beauty. But often, it’s the more hidden gems that are the most extraordinary of all. They are the ones that have their own special place in your heart and memory.

Do Some Digging
These places you come across may not always be easy to find. Sometimes you may need to ask around and do some digging to get to the lesser-known attractions.

Adventure Awaits
The same goes for any incredible food or activities that you have heard the locals talk about. By seeking out these unique, authentic experiences, travel can become an exciting journey of discovery. The possible rewards are endless.

No More Comfort Zone
No two people have the same type of travel experience, especially when it comes to discovering new things. But one thing is certain – pushing yourself out of your comfort zone can really pay off.

• Take chances and take risks.
• Try something completely different.
• Be open-minded.

This kind of attitude is essential for uncovering the true gems a place has to offer. From exotic food to thrilling adventures, and from stunning views to beautiful cultural sites, you never know what you will find along the way.

3. Taking the Road Less Travelled: Identifying Unique Cult Favourites

Taking the road less travelled does not mean searching for the most exclusive restaurants, the trendiest salads or the fanciest boards. It simply means to explore unchartered territories, uncover hidden gems and uncover unique cultural favourites that are known only to a select few. Taking the road less travelled is a journey that rushes through your body, turns your tastes around and brings renewing flavours to your table.

It may take some time but it will be worth it. Keep exploring, keep asking questions, keep inquiring and start finding unique and delicious creations.

Here are 3 tips to embark on this journey into the unknown:

• Talk to the locals: Identify the unique dishes from the local culture. Each town has its own signature recipes; ask the locals what is a must-try.
• Befriend street vendors: Street vendors may not have the best branding or the artsy displays but their dishes could cure your cravings. Ask around, sample some dishes and if you find a rare specialty – mark it for a return visit.
• Reconsider famous dishes: All that glitters is not gold – there may be a celebrity dish everyone talks about but there are variants of it too. Small local eateries may prepare the same classic dish with hidden ingredients, twisting the flavours.

Every country, every region, every city – they all come with their own flavours and cultural varieties. Take the time to explore, uncover the authenticity and experience the culture through a new angle. Trust yourself – you will end up with something unique, something to talk about, something to remember.

4. Crafting the Perfect Travel Kit: Creating a Collection of Cult Favourites

Creating a travel kit of cult favourites should never be done in haste, but instead should be seen as a slow and deliberate curation of a set of products that fully represent who you are and what will see you best serve your travel needs, while keeping style firmly on the front foot.

• Perfumes – When picking out a signature scent that speaks to who you are, seek out something that is light and unassuming. For travel, choose options that have great lasting power, while still being able to meld from day to night with ease and subtlety.
• Clothes – It pays to travel lightly – aim for one suitcase for a two week trip away. Invest in classic pieces that are interchangeable, spanning different occasions from casual daywear to an evening out. Sticking to ‘tried and true’ items across the board is usually wise – linen shirts, knitted sweaters, sneakers, a beanie, and a tote.
• Beauty – For cosmetics, select lightweight pressed powder and a few shades of lipsticks— opt for understated natural hues that don’t create a permanent war paint smile on a morning commute. Choose multipurpose balms to treat your hair, skin and nails. A great hair oil, mascara, eyebrow pencils (for both men and women) and a great moisturizer for the face, arms and legs are also a must.
• Tech – The must-haves in tech are headphones, a laptop, and a charger. Pack a credit card-sized powerbank as a buffer against the dreaded long-haul flight without a spare outlet in sight, plus a good set of earphones as a communion with your music. Invest in a pair that is both comfortable and durable, but don’t forget to bring along a spare set too.

When picking out versatile everyday items, search for items that are not only stylish in their own right but are also functional to your needs. From carryall wallets and notebooks to sunglasses, watches, and even perhaps a pocket knife, these pieces should be well-made and contemporary. Make sure to take an extra moment to slip into a travel-suitable watch that doubles up as a bracelet.

Employing the cult favourite technique is a powerful way to ensure that your travel look remains timeless, versatile, and optimally functional. Above all else, choose items that suit you and your versatile lifestyle, as only when they feel right is when style makes its moves.
