Recommendations of the Month II.

We’re continuing our monthly recommendations differently. With a very heavy heart but a new determination. We realized in the past weeks the values we stand for would be empty if we remained silent, so we made clear we stand with the Palestinian people. We join calls not only for an immediate ceasefire, but an end to the occupation and apartheid system in place.

Always but especially in times like these, we need to educate ourselves and use our voices. So, we share some of the resources below, and invite you to find and add more. Finally, we wish for all of us to keep some glimmer of hope in our humanity by speaking up and coming together. Let this be a reminder to inform ourselves of the peoples’ struggles all over the world and stand in solidarity for freedom and dignity for all.

Recommendations of the Month

Have you been at a loss of inspiration lately? Whatever our answer at some precise moment is, we are always looking for some more. So, we want to take our mission to keep wonder alive and kicking even further by starting a series of monthly recommendations.

To start it off, some more or less random finds which resonate like crazy with our own manifesto. So, if you are still not sure what we are doing and why, click on below.

Writing Prompt, I.

We don’t have specific issues with specific themes… We had a hard time with challenges and their deadlines… But, we still wanted to give our (potential) contributors a better feeling of what we are most interested in!

So, we decided to start a series of occasional writing (and art) prompts.

These will be completely non-binding and are only here to help inspire you and to keep us more concentrated on our mission 🙂

Feel free to join any time by sending us your thoughts, words and art!


The first introductory prompt is simple. Or is it? 😉

When we say perfect day, do we really mean perfect?

Isn’t it like in that old cliché which supposedly says beauty (and perfection) is in the imperfections?

When we asked you on Instagram what is your one-word description of a good day, the words that came up were: serene, reading, adventure, creative, contentment, relaxing, nature, productive… So many different definitions that (we are sure) change daily for each of us.

So, we started thinking about another question that can help your inspiration: what is the one tiny or grand perfection you can find on a normal day, that one joyous kick or spur of motivation, a moment after a hard day that makes you accept the bitter-sweetness and makes you feel like life is alright after all, that might fill you up with sense and meaning or just peace?

Maybe, a perfect day is compiled of moments of being that ground us, reconnect us to ourselves and our humanity. Maybe, just one such moment is enough.

We would love to hear what it all means to you! Send us your submissions for our monthly challenge till next Friday 😉

(Yes, you only have a week left.)

P. S.: We might also accept ironic interpretations of the phrase perfect day. Try us. Those can be the greatest lessons.

Monthly challenge

I. Amazine Monthly Challenge : Perfect Day

For the first prompt of 2023, we’re starting easy.

How do you picture a day well spent? A day when things feel just right and you’re accompanied by this feeling of being right where you belong? Who do you spend it with? What are you doing? What sounds, tastes and scenes are there that will make you remember it forever? What are you most proud of or grateful for at the end of a day? What was your perfect day when you were a child and how has it changed since? What kind of days do you wish for today?

Tell us everything about the good, the sweet and the ordinary days of your lives and those you still plan to create, or just something the phrase itself might inspire for you. (Yes, we might even accept your interpretation of the Lou Reed’s song with all its bitter-sweetness…)
