As a big animal lover as well as a brooch addict, I'm loving Kimchi and Coconut's brand new Safari collection of animal brooches and necklaces. I love these acrylic brooches from Daisy Jean Floral Designs' Jungle Book collection, especially the big cats, Shere Khan and Bagheera. (I missed the first series, and haven't got around to catching up with the box set yet), but holy crap, this Game of Thrones eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay looks amazing!

If you love the glitz and glamour of old school Hollywood, you may appreciate Erstwilder's brand new jewellery collection 'Hollywood Glamour' which launched last week. The fourteen piece collection features brooches, earrings, and necklaces designed around some of the most iconic leading ladies and paraphernalia of the golden days of cinema, like movie reels, art deco cinema marquees, and good old fashioned popcorn. I definitely don't need any more colourful eyeshadow palettes, but Lime Crime's 10th Birthday eyeshadow palette looks like the palette of my dreams.

From Sarah Lex wrote a helpful introduction to using alt text / image descriptions which help make photos on screen more accessible for the visually impaired. Hayley Hall wrote about the great Instagram crisis of 2019, and asked are we over-relying on the photo sharing app?

It's given me comfort when I've been struggling with missing out on life and grieving the life I lost, feeling lonely and depressed, and all kinds of emotions that come with living with chronic illness that we / I don't often talk about. I couldn't have got through the years without the blog to help me, and I can't imagine how much harder the last seven years would have been without it to keep me going, and help me through. I want to get back to the fun and excitement blogging brought to me seven years ago, and try to avoid making blogging stressful because it shouldn't be. I want blogging to be enjoyable, and not make me want to pull my hair out because I can't get my photos to look perfect or I can't think what I want to say for a post I'd planned.
