Tag yourself as phases of the moon

New Moon: ‘Bottom of the River’ by Delta Rae

amber flames flickering casting ghostly shadows across the walls, collecting blackberries in whicker baskets, fractured light casted through crystals, catching shooting stars in a makeshift fishing net 

Waxing Crescent: ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles

embellishing your walls with faded photos taken on film, worn dungarees rolled at the bottom, daisies marked by golden hour, bright plastic sunglasses resting on your nose, planning road trips in beat up caravans 

First Quarter: ‘Mind’ by Declan McKenna

cream pages carved by bleeding fountain pens, frilly socks pocking out of doc martens, sweet empty cups of tea lined across your desk, pastel flower drawings in sketchbooks, postcards adorned with literature quotes 

Waxing Gibbous: ‘Call Me In The Afternoon’ by Half Moon Run

shy conversations with the damp toad hiding under the fallen log, lines of tarnished treasures stolen from the forest floor, maps of unknown places decorating your walls, dirtied vines creeping in through windows 

Full Moon: ‘Stranger Things’ by Survival Kit

velvet nights stained with confusing conversations and unmarketable emotions, losing your mind on mossy rooftops, desperate lips falling and finding nothing to latch onto, placing delicate fractures of your soul in someone else’s hand

Waning Gibbous: ‘Ghost Towns’ by Radical Face

empty libraries leaking with creativity and uncharted epiphanies, blowing out a candle and watching the figures ballroom dance into nothing, crying out your song of poetry under the moon and stars 

Third Quarter: ‘make you feel pretty’ by lovelytheband

the scent of lavender staining your senses, delicate cream lace laying against your skin, tying your hair back with silk ribbons, days embellished with opal pearls marked with your own nostalgic memories 

Waning Crescent: ‘Hug All Ur Friends’ by Cavetown 

how to make the spring roll paper

▫ 1.5 cup white flour ▫ .5 tsp salt ▫ 1 tsp oil ▫ 1-2 tsp of water (enough to make a dough) ▫ knead the dough and let it sit for 30 minutes under a damp cloth ▫ make the dough into little balls (we made 20) and roll into thin circles  ▫ mix a little white flour and water in a small bowl to make a paste (our glue !!) ▫ stuff with vegetables etc. (carrots, peppers, ginger, sprouts, vermicelli noodles) ▫ wrap the roll using the white flour paste to ensure the rolls don’t break/unravel ▫ fry the rolls in oil (we used peanut oil) until they’re brown

how to make the chili sauce

▫ .5 cup sugar ▫ preferred amount of salt ▫ tamarind paste (or if you want, vinegar but it’s so good with tamarind paste !) ▫ chili flakes  ▫ cornflour paste (cornflour and water mixed to a paste) ▫ first put the sugar, chili flakes, salt, tamarind paste into a pan and let it melt  ▫ then add the cornflour paste and stir to prevent sugar from sticking ▫ allow the sauce to completely boil (bubble all over)
