Meet The New Flower

After Tânia's departure, Anna decided that she needed someone new to run the blog with her, and thankfully it didn't take long for her to find someone who could bring some diversity to the blog but still keep it interesting.

 

The name is RITA Lourenço, hello. I am a Libra (born on the 8th of October, 1998), but I'm honestly none of what Libras are supposed to be like, which means I must be doing something wrong. I study Social and Human Sciences. History and Literature are my ultimate favourite subjects and I guess you must've already assumed that I am passionate about the past and everything related to it. I have an unconditional love for Romanticism and Realism (a bit ironic, I know) and have some trouble in relating to Modernists, Surrealists and some other recent movements.
Music is another one of my passions. Although I don't play any instrument or sing, I do live for music and don't think I would be able to live my life without it. Even though I listen to a ton of different genres, I can definitely say that my favourite one is Symphonic (Power/Gothic) Metal.
I believe I am an extremely ironical person, and I either go hard or go home, to be honest. I wish I went hard more often.
Unlike Anna, I have no makeup skills other than the basic eyeliner/brows/lipstick deal. My only talent is to ramble (I think you can tell) and that's what I mostly plan on doing in this blog. I don't think I follow one specific style, but I am inspired by the gothic style and heavy metal fashion. Maybe I'll post some outfits from time to time, along with album reviews, book reviews and possibly some challenges. I look forward to starting and I truly hope my posts will appeal to everyone. If you ever have any suggestion, I'm open to read whatever you have to say.

HAVE A LOVELY DAY, 
Rita

Bidding Farewell

Over the past few days I’ve been trying to find a way to present my current situation. It is not easy for me but I decided that my time at Flowers Of Doom as come to an end.

My reasons are quite easy to explain but I do it with a heavy heart.

As some of you might remember from my presentation post, I’m quick to describe myself as a perfectionist, the kind that would rather not do anything than leaving it halfway done. Among school and my personal life it was very hard for me to find time for Flowers Of Doom; the result were posts that I’m not entirely happy with. Over the last seven months I would find myself feeling stressed, frustrated and sad about me being unable to accomplish posts that I had planned ahead.

Anna has been completly understanding of my position and even offered me a chance to make posts a little less often. It was an offer that I deeply appreciated but I couldn’t accept.

Also, soon I'll be (hopefully) going to University so I believe then I will have even less time and energy to put my best onto this amazing blog.

I'll still be around. I'm available to help Anna with anything she might need and, of course, I won't stop reading whatever she posts on this blog. If you wish to ever contact me I'm on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Thank you to anyone that has ever supported me through these months. Thank you for being here.

LOTS OF LOVE,

Tânia

Meet The Flowers

Hailing from Portugal, these two girls were brought together by their passion for beauty and fashion, which culminated in this blog where they plan to share their tastes and thoughts, experiments and experiences with the readers. Following the footsteps of many bloggers before them, they'll present you with posts containing tips and tricks, reviews, make up looks of their creation and much more. 

My name's TÂNIA (left) Cristina Almeida and I was born under the sign of Scorpio on November 4th 1997. I'm currently a high school senior in the area of Visual Arts. I was raised in a farm, with my paternal grandparents, surrounded by lots of animals. Even though I'm an absolute cat person, I have a dog.
I'm a lover of all things old and besides Art, History and Literature are my biggest interests. Most of my time is spent reading or listening to music, but I also watch some series and films. I'd describe myself as obsessive and highly self-critical. I'm the kind of gal that thinks that all glasses are half-empty even when they're full. My personality type is INFP.
My fashion and beauty choices are strongly influenced by the whole 20th century. My style is very personal but I guess it's housed under the goth umbrella. On the make up aisle I always tend to go for the strong vamp lips and dark yet neutral shadows.

Hey, I’m ANNA (right) Marques. I am a 17 year old science student that was born on April 3rd, therefore I’m an Aries.

I’m currently in senior year of high school and lord knows how much I regret not going to art school instead, and at the same time I don’t. The best of both worlds is what I wish I could have.

I spend most of my free time listening to music and playing around with makeup or drawing. I like to read as well and I am truly passionate about nature and all the wonders of the Earth. I love all sorts of minerals and gemstones. I have an enormous curiosity towards the human body. I’m a fish keeper and a huge cat lady.

I tend to see the dark side of everything. I would say that I don’t believe in “God” but I do believe that there is something above all humans, I just don’t quite know what it is.

Some of my fashion and beauty influences and inspirations are mostly Dita Von Teese and Adele. Amy Lee is a huge inspiration as well, on so many levels. I’m also extremely fond of the pin up style and the clothing from the victorian era and all sorts of gothic stuff.

With high hopes for the future, it's their desire that all find a place in this blog, in the dark chambers of their hearts.
