We’ve been mulling over the idea of doing makeup tutorials for the longest time.
After all, we have a great product (COLOR Minerals) which despite its unfamiliar method of application, gives wonderful results, and is really easy to apply, once you get the hang of it. We also wanted to do tutorials to further explore the literary themes that we’re embracing at Lark – what fun it would be to share looks inspired by our favourite books and characters!
Sometimes it’s amazing how connections can be forged through such a simple ritual, like the act of getting a cup of coffee.

We’re once again at the mid-week bump, enough to get us looking forward to what to do this weekend. Here’s video of poet/singer/songwriter Tanya Davis’ poem- “How To Be Alone“.
We think this video/poem is a wonderful ode to the beauty of solitude; a reminder of the importance of self-discovery and feeling comfortable with your own company. Why not take some time out for yourself this weekend and experience the beauty of spending time alone?
