On Friday night the most terrible thing happened. I was carrying my makeup back to my desk in a Pam’s ziplock bag when the bottom fell out of it, and everything fell to the ground. My favourite bright green eyeshadow that my mother originally purchased at a 100 yen shop in like 1994 smashed into a million pieces. The bright blue shadow in the same case was okay, and yes, I do have a Napolean in a very similar shade of green, but I’m still gutted. So today I went to Warehouse Stationary and bought a pencil case to use to keep my makeup together, and also a nice paint brush to use for my eye shadow (and used garden shears to cut it to a decent length).

But enough about me! Here are some links that have made me very happy this week.

• Annette from our beloved Nut and Bee (I gave Amy customised guniea pig prints for her birthday) got married and looked gorgeous. Yay wedding pictures! Also, she honeymooned in Tokyo and has brought back some awesome toys – check them out.
• Deborah is raising her daughters to be feminists. Parenting – ur doin it so so right.
• Hortense on Jezebel has written a wonderful piece about relating to her parents through pop culture references.
