Where you find self-motivation...

I find self-motivation in the desire to create something that wasn't there before. When all other jobs are ticked off and there is space in a day to work on something new. Like everyone, I occasionally have mornings where I wake up feeling uninspired and question everything I'm doing. In these times I pretend I'm working for someone else and listen to really loud music all day.

Going to see live music is like a holiday for me. Being in a crowd of people openly supporting and enjoying musical creativity is really moving and exhilarating.

Favourite thing about Ovna...
|
|
MW
|
It's hard to pick one thing! I love the romantic, etherial aesthetic and that everything is easy to dance in! Also, I love that Ovna is a kind brand, your ethics make me feel proud when I'm wearing it.

Don't support fast fashion. Shop at opp shops, swap with friends and support ethical brands when you can.
