Why so much anger!

Happy New Year.

It is more than 2 years that the world is dealing with Covid 19. It has evolved with our daily life. If we believe in democracy and freedom of speech (non-existence objects), we should start practising listening to those who have different views and still stay united as a society.It seems unvaccinated people are angrier in society and their anger is targeting their friends and families. 

A friend of mine messaged me after a year and directly asked me about my political views and being vaccinated. I responded accordingly to her questions. Then her response was shocking!She said that I am supporting fascist and she was happy that she asked the question because she can filter people out of her life!
Why so much anger? Why do we have to filter people based on their politics, religion and any views they may have? We should build a united society and don’t allow politicians and religious leaders to divide us.

Stay calm, safe, be kind and respect each other.

The End of the year, we shall wait for a better year next year!

We wish you a great year to come with 
health, success, happiness, love and kindness.

The Lost War

After 20 years of war in Afghanistan, the US and its allies failed to remove the Taliban who are a terrorist group that was created by a few countries and the CIA.

Afghanistan’s resources were stolen by the US and its allies. Now, the US pulled out of the country after signing a peace agreement in 2018 by Pampeo and the current Taliban leader, who was released from Pakistan prison under the US request without the Afghanistan government. 

Who is responsible for the current situation? 

Shouldn’t the US government be on trial for the crime they committed? 

Shouldn’t Europe learn to stand up to the US government and say enough is enough and No more war in the name of spreading democracy and human rights?

We have witnessed the kind of democracy the US government has spread in Iraq and Libya. 

What Now? 
Plan another war to another country?

Summer Time


Yes, the summer is here, warmer than last year!

but we are more free than last year! 

The vaccine has allowed us to move around the cities and countries. We are almost getting there to get back to our normal life. 

Depending on the time of the day the feeling is different. Also, it’s different when it rains, when it gets super hot or when it is very special warm with a refreshing breeze shows up. Actually, I could even dedicate the whole letter just for summer rain, because it’s that special... Always with its own story.

Own your summer feeling. Take it all in. Let it do its job, giving us that bit of missing inspiration, reckless piece of joy. Let yourself to get lost in a summer feeling.

Stay safe and well!

Emotions


“A strong feeling deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.” Emotions are responses to significant internal and external events. Emotions are intense feelings that are directed at someone, something or self. 
There are many emotions surrounded us that could cause the moment of living hell or heaven! 

We are responsible to control our emotions and convert the negative ones to positive emotions. Researchers summarized the emotions towards 5 labelling the basic human emotions, that there are 5 basic emotions: joy, fear, sadness, disgust and anger.

4 out of 5 basic human emotions are negative. It is ok to be sad, disgusted, angry or fear of something, but if we focus on Joy, we can convert those negative emotions to joy. You may wonder, how we can convert negative emotions to positive? Well, it is very simple, ACCEPTANCE of the event and emotions.

Acceptance takes you miles away from negative emotions, and questioning them, may settle in your mind, which directs you to deeper sad emotions.
Accept the moments, smile and go forward!

Stay safe and well!

Hope

Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large. As a verb, its definitions include: “expect with confidence” and “to cherish a desire with anticipation.” 

During this period of our life that many have lost their loved ones as the result of Corona (Covid-19), there have been some lights of hope appears! Nobody knows how effective these vaccines are, but it is a few steps forward to make a change and re-create our life again!

Stay safe and well!

We added a new category to L’Affaire magazine. Landscape photography is our new section. We have seen great photographers at all level creating amazing images from our beautiful earth. 

You may ask why we added Landscape photography to our magazine! During COVID 19 period, Photographers haven’t been able to do what they love to do in fashion, wedding and portraits. Therefore, they turn to landscape photography or street photography as a hobby to keep them engaged and motivated.

Therefore, we would like to see more landscape images. 
Stay safe and well!

Tenant Voice Mobile App

During the Corona epidemic, we noticed that some businesses haven’t been fair and have put pressure on people; especially landlords and real estates. 

When we decide to rent a home, real states or landlords ask for references but we never ask for references from them, are they reliable landlords or real states?

We have been developing a mobile app for tenants to leave reviews and rate their landlords and real estate agencies. 

You may ask what are the benefits of leaving reviews and share your experience, well, your feedback regarding your landlord and estate agencies not only can help other people to choose the right landlord but also helps you to sign a contract with the right landlord.
It is time for ordinary people like us to share our good and bad experiences regarding landlords and estate agencies.

Coronavirus!

We are all in quarantine! Some fed up with it and others enjoy the quality of the moments with their family. 

One thing for sure Corona Virus has thought us so far is to slow down and look around us. What do we see or remember?
Humanity, love and care that many people have shown to their friends and families, helping hands to go through these difficult times. I am excluding those selfish people that don’t think about other, the ones that we have seen on the social media!

Let’s not to forget, this difficult period can teach us how valuable we are for each other as well as respect our environment.
We need to change our mindset and lifestyle after Corona Virus to take care of ourselves, others and EARTH!

If you are feeling unwell, isolate yourself, think about people around you that you may infect them, and they may infect others. Self-isolation is one of the keys to break the chain so we all can get back to our daily life with a different perspective and vision to life!

Stay safe, Spread the love but not Corona Virus!

First of all, Happy New Year! 

We hope you had a great festive holiday and start the year with health, happiness and new goals for the year ahead.

Like any other publications, we had to make a harsh decision in 2019 to stop our in-house printing for 2020. 

However, we have decided to offer print on demand option that you can place your order via a 3rd party platform.

This year, we are focusing on offering different services to our audience. Digital marketing, mobile and web development and many more, which helps you to increase your business to the next level.

Throughout last year and beyond, we have met many great artists and have been a great pleasure to work with you all and seeing your great work.

Don’t stop, grow and never look back!

We are almost ending the third year of L’Affaire magazine. It has been 3 great years with ups and downs that everybody goes through life. 

Through-out 3 years, we have come across many talented people, we have met a few of them in person, which has been a great pleasure.

I have 18 copies of the printed magazine on the bookshelf and every other time, I flip through them and get inspired by your great work. I also check the artist social media or website to learn what they have been up to. 

It seems to me that we are growing old with you all and would like to say a massive THANK YOU to be part of L’Affaire Magazine.

We also would love to wish you all a very Happy Festive Holiday and a Happy New Year 2020!

Experiences.... Some might be pleasant and some might freak you out. But they all teach you something about yourself or others. 


You might wish to forget certain things immediately but the reality is, if you could find the strength to make a good use out of those experiences (for your own improvment, creativity or anything else) you would become a stronger person. 

I always thought that the beginning of a new season is a great time to restart yourself, take things into your own hands, perhaps overcome some fears. 

Getting things done is exceptionally rewarding and never forget to take care of yourself! 

Your life is precious.

We decided to dedicate this L’affaire magazine issue to summer.
Not because of obvious reasons (it’s summer now), but because of
the special feel we get on summer days.
Depending on the time of the day the feeling is different. Also, it’s
different when it rains, when it gets super hot or when it is very
special warm with a refreshing breeze shows up. Actually, I could
even dedicate the whole letter just for summer rain, because it’s
that special... Always with its own story.
Own your summer feeling. Take it all in. Let it do its job, giving us
that bit of missing inspiration, reckless piece of joy. Let yourself
to get lost in a summer feeling.

I am about to write the editor’s letter but my thoughts are all over the place. Checking the news sites, flipping through magazines or just letting thoughts to take me places... Wasting time? 
Let’s talk about what do we call a waste of time. Is looking through your favorite artist book a waste of time? What about listening to podcasts, going to a show or even just taking a moment to appreciate a beautiful fresh day? Or perhaps this time spent is giving you the knowledge, inspiration or just pure joy?  These days we push ourselves so hard that a moment of self-treat started to be considered as a waste of time. 
Let’s not judge ourselves too hard and remember that life, as well as creating, was meant to be enjoyed.

The spring is almost here and we all start cleaning up our home, change jobs or move to another country to start up something fresh.
 
We have been working hard in the last few months to deliver a product for wedding and portrait photographers to grow their business and build a strong client relationship.

Hope. 
It is human nature to keep hoping. It’s what keeps us going, what makes us learn more, motivates us to experience new things. Because we all want something, we all hope for things to get better. And that is what makes us interested in living.

With a New Year, I wish everyone to wake our hopes up. Enough sleeping on it: time to do things, to feel things, to create and love.

Time to stop putting blocks on our dreams, stop coming up with excuses, because we are strong. We are stronger then we believe we are. I hope for everyone to get that light in the eyes, that spark we tend to have when we dream about something and we go for the dream.

It’s not often we get to take a moment to look back and realize that no matter what, it was a great year. We live in a very fast paced world where we get no time to stop, always looking for the next best thing or bigger accomplishment. 

Reminders to appreciate what you have gets lost in a crowded material world. 

How do we measure our success? By numbers, likes, luxurious purchases?... What about how you feel? Are you feeling involved in your own life? Are you driven to keep doing what you do? 

I keep hearing people say how thrilled they were when they got to explore freedom, even though, there was no material rewards for it. 

Perhaps the feel of euphoria can also be measurement of success? 

Perhaps it’s a good time to take a moment and just feel successful.

Have you ever browsed people in the real life rather than in the virtual world?
Sitting at the airport having my cup of coffee, looking at every person that passed by my table.
Every person defines beauty in his or her own skin, character and personality. Their style of clothing, their makeup or hairstyle, their walk and smile defines them as a beautiful person.
The virtual world has created a false impression of the human that we always want to look the same as someone else; without realising how beautiful we are in our skin.
Get up now, look at yourself in the mirror, smile and love the way you look. Be proud of who you are and develop you to become a better person and more beautiful at all levels.


Beauty has no restrictions. As well as art. Those who says differently can explain me why they concern only certain things beautiful, why you cannot create an art piece in the way you want to and why rules are created in the area where should be no rules. 

I’ve been hearing a lot lately people judging art and beauty in a very restrictive way, and here I was thinking that we live in a open world where everybody can express themselves the way they like.

Artists are sensitive people. We constantly have euphoric ups and depressive downs. We keep thinking about our work, both loving what we created and also doubting the art we have done! 

Creative mind is an entire different world where thoughts and emotions (excitement and misery) get tangled with each other. That’s why we create what we create. That’s why we see the world the way we see it. 

Don’t let anyone put you down for the way you express yourself.

Do you ever get that feeling of too many ideas and thoughts leading your mind to the explosion? 

There are times when it feels like nothing inspires you and there are times when all those good ideas starts popping and you don’t even know where to begin. 

Write them down! 

Make sure to put everything on paper, phone or even record your voice for future references. There are so many great things that we can do but we don’t get to do a lot of them, because we let them go. You might be guessing what am I talking about... Well those 5 minutes of bright sunshine we got here in London, brought some bright ideas, and I’m writing them down!

The world of arts and fashion is expanding quicker then ever, the rules get broken and what was a big no no before is now a big yes! Try to erase all the walls and rules that you have in your mind, because it’s an era where everyone can and should be heard. No matter what side you are on, just don’t hesitate to start a conversation about unconventional and maybe uncomfortable ideas.

In this issue you might find images that clash with each other, styles that might not belong together. But guess what? We are breaking the borders.

Welcome back for all our readers as well as welcome to those readers who are holding L’affaire magazine for the first time!

Let’s talk a bit about inspiration- such a simple and also complicated word. It’s something that comes and goes and it’s impossible to catch it and keep it forever. It’s impossible to stay inspired 24/7 and sometimes it might feel like a pressure from outside to be inspired. My message to you is: don’t pressure yourself, inspiration cannot be forced. Just take one step back, reflect on the past and instead of looking in the future, take a moment to appreciate moments right now. Try to see the world with different perspective and inspiration will come to you at the right time.

We are proud to interview a woman who took a swing in her career path- she started as a makeup artist and now she also designs impressive head pieces and works on one of the biggest wedding fairs in Moscow. We definitely find that inspiring!

Welcome to our 7th L’affaire issue! It will sound like such a cliché, but I can’t believe it has been a year already! This has been a great journey for us that will stay in our minds for ever. A year ago we introduced our baby project that now developed into a magazine we are proud of. Having artists from all around the world involved in L’affaire makes a hard job all worth it! We are big believers in the team work and we want to thank all contributor’s involved.

In this issue we interviewed makeup artist and  co-founder of Daniel Sandler brand about beauty, having a makeup line and getting inspired. You will also find an interview with Italian photographer Mauro Lorenzo who is known for his fashion photography and amazing location choices.

It’s the small random things that matters. 

Just yesterday, while having a few spare hours from work, I was walking around Parma city (Italy).  A friend who is local to this city, took me to a small simple cafe. While I was placing my cappuccino order, my eyes went towards the paintings display on the cafe walls. I couldn’t stop starring at them as well as analysing the brush strokes. I just had to find out who’s the artist and even forgot about my coffee (and Italian coffee is not something I forget!).
 
Moments like these stay with us for ever and are a proof that we have to create and keep our eyes open for small things in life.

Autumn - winter season tends to take us back to nostalgic memories, but why wouldn’t we use those memories as an inspiration? 

With this issue we continue breaking the rules and hopefully taking you from the past to the future.

When you think that the time cannot go any faster, it surprises you again! Here we are, ready to get back to our busy lives after enjoying the slower and lazier summer days. ‘Back - to - school’ posters surrounding us everywhere and we feel like it’s time for a change (no matter how long ago was the last days of school). I talked to a handful of creatives during the hot summer days and heard similar thoughts- so many of us felt the holiday mode: ON even during busy working days. Now it’s a good time to brush off the beach thoughts and get back with full power to create and achieve new goals.

 To represent the new creative season, we teamed up with a hair stylist Ross Kwan for our in- house editorial, using unexpected hair decisions. He also shared with us some of his go- to products and how to use them. And to satisfy the curiosities of what goes on the models lives (sometimes it is hard to believe that they are real people, as they seem just too perfect) we interviewed the charming Lulu Stone where she shared the ins and outs of modelling business.

You are unique. We hope that flipping through the L’affaire magazine pages will get you inspired to explore your uniqueness, get in touch with the core of your great self and radiate who you are to the world.

Welcome to our very first summer issue! It’s hard to believe, it is already our fourth issue as it feels like we started L’affaire Magazine just moments ago.
We hope you are enjoying the summer season as much or more than we do. I am sipping my iced peach tea as I’m writing this letter on the hottest day in London so far. We were definitely inspired by the summer heat and bronze glow while working on this issue! Don’t be surprised to see some bikinis and colorful looks!
As you probably already know, L’affaire Magazine is all about celebrating creativity and introducing talented people. We were very excited to talk with Errol Douglas, so very often called King of Hair, about his creative process. Daniel Diamond shared his secrets about portrait photography. And also we have a bit different take on the discussion about selfies.
