To Help COMBAT DISCRIMINATION throughout Great Britain!

STOP LANDLORDS/ESTATE AGENTS from being able to advertise their property as AVAILABLE ONLY TO people without DSS/CHILDREN!!

Its 2014, And we deserve equality.

Why should Letting Agents and Private Landlords be allowed to discriminate against people on low income by advertising their available rental properties as 'NO DSS' or 'NO CHILDREN'?
This is inhumane. Housing Benefit is a Guarenteed rental income, There are Tenancy Agreements and Laws to protect Landlords from unlawful tenant behaviour, They should not be allowed to discriminate.

Reflections In The Water

2014-08-08T01:46:00.001-07:00

So it's been a hell of a long time since we last posted!

I'm the Ed of ChalkUk Mag, I also do most of the Photography work that we use unless we we're working with another photographer, I also design the Magazine's lay out, Write some Articles and manage our Social media, Features and Enquiries.

Occasionally we use other sources, And by 'We' I mean my trusty surf inspired friends worldwide, However we all have our own dreams and were shocked and definitely a little un-prepared by how fast interest in Chalk grew.

Next year I'll be looking into office premises large enough to house some staff and get some really passionate and creative people on board to help bring ChalkUk to life..

As you probably already know we've been striving for a Print Release at Boardmasters 2014, However due to some personal circumstances the team haven't managed to achieve this.. Which means we'll be pushing harder than ever in 2015!

Why?
I always knew that living and breathing surf culture was the way of life for me, Not that that means sitting at the beach all day everyday but.. for most ;) I don't find the hustle and bustle of city living appealing at all. I've spent time living in cities, Sitting in coffee shops watching the world pass by .. Everybody rushes, Barely any smiles anywhere.. My move to Cornwall gave me a fresh and invigorating outlook on the life i'd known for so long, It was exactly what I'd dreamt of, Surfside living, Laid back atmosphere, Really cool and inspiring people.. A healthy way of life.

And that's what I want to celebrate, It's so easy to get wrapped up in the 9-5 Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat routine in the City.. Well anywhere, But here in Cornwall instead of popping to your Highstreet Coffee house to unwind after work, You can take in breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean whilst sipping the same brand.

Another place i'd love to spend some time is Byron Bay.

The Surfing Mecca of Australia.

Heaven.

Back to Chalk, Before I get totally lost in Paradise.. Having already experienced many amazing life experiences, like many I made the decision to bring children into the world before following my dreams, Which worked really well for my partner and I.

Having suffered from anxiety my entire life creating Chalk became my release a little like Surfing benefits disadvantaged people or the way that Art or music soothes sufferers, It's meant that I could focus on building a brand that celebrates everything that I believe in and sharing those beliefs with other like-minded souls, That allows me to be as creative as I can be. I also make and sell vintage up-cycled surfboard bags called "Stick Socks" aswell as arty fins & dip dyed tee's.

I'm a great believer that nothing easy is worth doing, And although sometimes even the easiest of tasks seem difficult, If I want Chalk to be as successful as I hope it will be I have to push myself into social situations, Like Boardmasters and meet new people. I've been to some amazing places with Chalk and met some amazing people along the way and I hope to continue to do so :)

I admire the many projects that encourage people out of their comfort zones, Or help soothe the soul.

My Personal Favourite has to be the Wave Project who do some amazing workshops with young people across the country using surfing as a way to help reduce anxiety and improve emotional health.

With that In mind I really hope to get some features in Our 1st print about real life issues that anyone can face and how they do not shape a person.

Bring it on 2015.

“Conditions got tough there in the end – no doubt,” Carissa said. “I was still riding the high of clinching the world title and I think that momentum helped me push through in the end. Sally is such a strong opponent and I knew she was hungry for another win after last week in France. It’s been an incredible day for me though and an incredible year for the girls on tour. There are bigger and better things coming in 2014.”

This week do something crazy!

2013-07-02T07:31:00.001-07:00

We had a chat amongst ourselves today at ChalkUk as we sat in our local coffee shop watching the world buzzing around us, Looking upon the passers by we came to realize that it's just too easy to fall into day to day routine.

We took some inspiration from the U.S as we talk 'fun', Being spontaneous and outgoing daily.

Watching American Tv programs is like loosing yourself in a good funny movie. Everybody seems so 'upbeat', Our latest visit to London was slightly doom and gloom, With stressed-out tube riders, Traffic jams fueled with road-rage and pedestrians filling the pavements like a stampede of sardines. Upon returning back to Cornwall there's an immediate laid back chilled vibe, Clearly a massive cultural difference.

We'd love to have the energy to be upbeat like our cousins over the pond all the time, But the truth is, We let life takeover a little too much sometimes, Allowing our stresses and strains to effect our day to day lives.

So to combat this we think, Really, It's true. We only live once, Why live the same routine everyday, 365 days a year? Zzz...

Mix it up a bit and try something NEW this week!

Here's a few ideas to spice up your life in the littlest of ways,

(From simple changes to boost your life To totally wild adventurous ways to get happy!)

1. Change your lunch time routine, try another food outlet, maybe sushi.

2. Bike, Walk or ride with a friend/colleague to work.

3. Cut down on cigarettes and/or alcohol intake.

4. Try Surfing!

5. Save £10.

6. Book a city break with your friends.

7. Take a self discovery vacation, Maybe a spa weekend in Bali or a Ski trip in France.

8. Try crafting, up-cycle that old chair in your loft or add scatter cushions to your sofa.

9. If you don't already, Catch an early night!

10. Skydive, Completely loose your inhibitions and free fall!

11. Join a gym.

12. Grab a recipe book and whisk up something delicious!

Really feeling crazy?

13. Book a shark diving experience.

14. Bungee Jump.

15. Conquer a fear, Wether its spiders or spoons.

16. Try sitting on a beach alone for 1 hour. It works wonders for your mind.

Finally, some nice weather. Enough to pop your woolies back in the cupboards and bring out the 'airy clothes' ( my wardrobe is full of linens! )

I survive weather like this with bikinis, denim cut offs, baggy tees and linens.
