Alexa Chung Repurposes Storm-Fallen Wood Into Everyday Objects | Forces For Change
Alexa’s Art Tour sees presenter and model Alexa Chung visit forces for change in the art world who each lead their different practices with sustainability, community, and innovation at the forefront. In the second episode of the BMW and British Vogue series, Alexa takes a stroll through the forest with Sophie Sellu, a wood-worker who sources storm-fallen timber to lovingly sculpt practical objects – spoons, brushes, kitchen utensils – that double as art pieces. “If you want something to live in your home for a really long time, it’s so good to know it’s come from a good place,” Sellu says. "Quite unconsciously, I've always worked with either found materials, reclaimed timber or storm-fallen trees, just because it makes sense. I don't know why you wouldn't." #AlexaChung #Vogue #BMW Watch more from British Vogue: https://youtu.be/sbmeEZ117YQ https://youtu.be/g1ltxqt-hF4 https://youtu.be/v_oQu4-VcoI Subscribe to British Vogue►► https://www.youtube.com/britishvogue?sub_confirmation=1 CONNECT WITH BRITISH VOGUE Web: https://www.vogue.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/britishvogue Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/britishvogue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/britishvogue Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/britishvogue Newsletter: https://www.vogue.co.uk/newsletters Subscribe: https://www.vogue.co.uk/subscribe ABOUT BRITISH VOGUE British Vogue is the world’s leading premium lifestyle and fashion entertainment channel.

Stoic Advice For Living Longer And Happier
Get started today and save $225 on your Lifeforce diagnostic at https://mylifeforce.com/dailystoic While the Stoics practiced the art of memento mori—and knew that death was something that could randomly visit anyone, at any time—they still took pains to maintain their health. Marcus Aurelius’s doctor was Galen, one of the most famous physicians of antiquity, and presumably Marcus didn’t keep him around to shorten his life. No, he wanted to survive and be as healthy and strong as possible while he was alive. Seneca, for his part, flirted with vegetarianism, and his letters are filled with mentions of various cures he was seeking for his health. The sports metaphors in Epictetus and Marcus’s work also hint at the idea of active, strenuous lives. Health is wealth. Taking care of yourself is important. What good can you do in this world if you feel like shit all the time? Or if you lack the physical and moral strength—or in George’s case, even the basic mobility—to be of good to anyone? We are on this planet for a short amount of time. But if we practice bad habits, if we let our urges run wild, we will surely shorten that time. That’s not Stoic, that’s stupid. ✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?

Couple Living in a Beautiful Floating Home on a Peaceful River – Full Tour & How It Works
Jade and Tim decided to live on a float home because it was the perfect compromise between wanting to live close to nature and needing to live close to the city for work. Their home is a modern and minimalist black two-story home that sits on top of a floating foundation made with styrofoam encased in plywood. The home is 30' long x 20' wide, and the float is 40' long x 20' wide (the size of a standard float home slip). You can follow and find out more about Jade, Tim, and Yoggu Foods here: https://www.instagram.com/yoggu.foods https://yoggu.ca/ Their journey began 3 years ago while they were living together on a small trawler-style motorboat. Their moorage (marina rent) was at risk because any new float home arriving at the marina would have forced them out of their spot. So they hired a boat house (boat shed) builder to build a simple float home shell, and then they finished the interior with the help of friends and family (it helps that Tim is a plumber by trade). The result is a simple, peaceful, open-concept home that perfectly matches the peaceful river surroundings. But living on a float home isn't always easy and as the couple says in this video, it can be like the Wild West. Marinas don't have to follow the same rules as landlords on land, so there's little security when it comes to moorage, and there aren't many spaces available for float homes if they do need to find a new spot, like they did this year. Their original marina raised their moorage cost by 35% so they went looking for a new spot and were lucky to find one nearby. We hope you enjoy meeting this couple and checking out their floating home lifestyle!

Inside a Landscape Architects Own Family Home With a Luscious and Dreamy Garden (House Tour)
In Sydney’s Watsons Bay area, Creative Director at Wyer & Co. Anthony Wyer designs the landscape architects own family home. “When designing a garden, I believe it comes down to balance – balance of hard surfaces, soft surfaces, understanding the natural environment and the plant palette,” says Anthony of his approach to the house, which sits on a corner allotment. On arrival, one is immediately met with a beautiful mature olive that overhangs the entrance, setting the scene for a home that clearly interacts with its garden and foliage. The interior design of the landscape architects own family home was designed with the help of interior designers Marco Meneguzzi and Tamsin Johnson, who saw the vision for the interior spaces align with the vision for the garden. It is the garden of the landscape architects own family home that is most impressive. Anthony takes cues from both local and Mediterranean architecture and sensibilities to create an immersive outdoor retreat. One of the main features was the boulder in the rear garden – an impressive natural element central to the whole design. Other key features include a cabana structure covered in greenery, with its own planted roof, a fireplace, an open pergola that is waterproofed and a pool. Whilst there is an expression of style, at the core of the garden is pragmatism and comfort, ensuring the outdoors can be enjoyed without needing to withstand the elements. The front, multi-tiered garden of the landscape architects own family home is elevated, faces the street and acts as an extension of the interior entertaining space. A plant palette of mature trees is used to create vibrancy and scale, which is combined with hedging and underplanting to imbue the home with softness. Terracotta and textured natural stone sit alongside warm timber elements to complement the surrounding greenery. Due to the home’s orientation – and depending on the weather and time of year – one can always escape inside, whilst outdoor spaces can be used all year round. The south-facing rear garden also drinks in the afternoon sun whilst connecting to the living, kitchen and nurturing places of the home. Boulder House is an immersive series of garden spaces that express Anthony’s love of the natural world. When recalling the landscape architects own family home, Anthony reflects, “once the plants go in, they complete the whole picture of the project.” 00:00 - Introduction to the Landscape Architects Family Home 00:45 - A Coastal Location 01:11 - A Walkthrough of the House 01:59 - The Fundamental Features 02:43 - Behind the Interior Design of the Home 03:30 - Weathering All Seasons and All Conditions 04:20 - The Plant Palette 05:00 - A Mediterranean Inspired Design For more from The Local Project: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/thelocalproject/ Website – https://thelocalproject.com.au/ Print Publication – https://thelocalproject.com.au/publication/ Hardcover Book – https://thelocalproject.com.au/book/ The Local Project Marketplace – https://thelocalproject.com.au/marketplace/ To subscribe to The Local Project's Tri-Annual Print Publication see here – https://thelocalproject.com.au/subscribe/ Photography by Anson Smart.
