MANIFESTO

The Manifesto . A published declaration of intentions , opinions and motives of a particular group of people . At Juicebox our manifesto is ever-changing to the theme of the issue , quite like the world of design . This is by no means a forceful list of rules on how to live your life , though it may seem passive aggressive at times . However , we do not discourage following it religiously if you see fit . So this is our British Manifesto .
Rule 1 . Make like a touring circus , and adorn solely OTT sartorial choices with matching garish accessories for the ultimate self indulgent street style performance .
Rule 2 . There ’ s nothing wrong with channelling regality even if you reside in SAFF EAST LANDAN / Sheffield / Northampton or somewhere equally grim .
Rule 3 . The National sport is binge drinking , don ’ t let the team down .
Rule 4 . Yes , Charlotte from Geordie Shore has replaced Cheryl Cole as a ‘ National Treasure ’, No , it ’ s not a bad thing .
Rule 5 . Seek opportunities to invent and challenge convention ( sorry , we needed a serious one ).
Rule 6 . Have ( try ) to have a ‘ zest ’ for life , unless it ’ s raining , no zest .
Rule 7 . It ’ s okay to still feel emotional about the birth of Prince George .
Rule 8 . Always think creatively .
Rule 9 . It ’ s time to get off the Delevigne hype bus , and start reshaping those brows .
Rule 10 . Debating whether to dial 999 when discovering you ’ ve run out of tea is absolutely a legitimate reason to use the emergency services .
