Instagram accounts you should be #following

I'm pretty new to Instagram, because I didn't see the point of having it when I had a "not-so-smart" phone. But over X-mas, Mr. LL got me an iPhone, so now I'm addicted. I thought for today's #FollowFriday, I'd mix things up and share my favorite Instagram accounts.

Skellie @omgliterallydead is my favorite Instagram account. Boney hands down. I love to imagine the person who runs this account taking this skeleton with them every where they go. Go check it out and follow for amazing things to come into your feed.

If you are on the internet and you read comic books, you've gotta know my friend @PatLoika. His Instagram is full of comic book goodness and cats...of which he owns none, apparently. But Pat is the greatest guy and he deserves all the love, so follow his feed and give him some!

One of my favorite YouTube channels is Good Mythical Morning, hosted by Rhett and Link. Their Instagram account is just as entertaining with things like Mini Horse Mondays and Waffles Wednesday. I recommend you first go check out their YouTube videos and then, if you become a Mythical Beast, head over and follow their Instagram.

I probably talk about Mallory from Miss Malaprop too much on this blog, but she is seriously my blogging hero and an all around cool person. I love her Instagram posts and the amazing messages she shares via them. They are like inspiring mini-blog posts with great photography.

---

Mickey Alice Kwapis' Instagram is full of cool photos and taxidermy. If you aren't a fan of dead things, maybe skip this one. If you like the art of immortalizing creatures, definitely check this one out. She'll be coming to New Orleans soon, and I really want to sign up for her taxidermy class.

DIY or die

Somewhere, in an alternate reality, I am a person who actually does crafts from start to finish and I can do them phenomenally. However, in this reality, I live vicariously through craft blogs and I pin a million projects I'll probably never do.

Whether you are like me or if you actually do DIY/craft projects, you'll get some use out this round-up of blogs.

Studs & Pearls is the coolest DIY blog on the block. Kirsten takes inspiration from fashion trends and shows you how to make it yourself. Don't have a few hundred bucks to buy a studded leather jacket? She's made it, and she'll show you how.

UPDATE (APRIL 2016): Studs & Pearls is now Wild Amor. Same creator, and still amazing content.

---

Craftaholics is a collaborative labor of love. It is full of fun craft projects that are fairly do-able for most people to re-create. If you like to make your own home decorations for any or all the holidays, you will love this craft blog.

---

My alternate universe self can totally do cross-stitching and needlework. In this reality, I can sew on a button, just barely. Feeling Stitchy allows me to live out my needlework dreams through the amazing projects they share and tutorials/patterns they provide.

---

I love the projects Erin shares on thanks, I made it. They are always cool and don't have that "homemade" look to them (you know what I'm talking about). I love this blog and I never miss a post. She has it all, jewelry, accessories, clothing and home DIYs; and trust me, they are all pretty freakin' amazing.

---

To round out this round up, I'm throwing in the Craftster blog. Anyone who is into to DIY projects and crafts knows about Craftster, but until recently I didn't know they had a blog!

Do you know of any craft/DIY blogs? Share them with me and feed my obsession!

Blogs to make you hungry

I love food blogs. I tried to do a food segment for a long time on Lazy Lady, but I'm just not good at the food blogging game. I never take good food pix because I'm shooting as I'm cooking and I only cook at night. My recipes are hit and miss and well, we eat a lot of frozen pizza because I can't be bothered.

However, when I do decide to cook, I look to food blogs for inspiration and recipes.

WARNING: These sites will make you hungry, even if you just ate.

The Queen of food blogs, The Pioneer Woman. She even has her own cooking show now! I have always loved how honesty Ree Drummonds' recipes are and how do-able they feel to me as a reader. Now, I probably can't do a good number of them, but she has enough of a mix (and I know my own capabilities well enough) that no matter your skill level, you can find a recipe of her's to recreate at home. Her overall blog has more than just recipes. If you haven't read The Pioneer Woman blog, you need to go check it out right now.

---

Annie's Eats is one of my favorite food blogs. I think I started to read it because my best friend's name is Annie. However, the recipes and amazing food photography are what keep me coming back. She has a great section on her blog called "Menu Builder" (it's in the top navigation links) that has menus for special occasions all built up with photos and links to the corresponding recipes. Super helpful!

---

Most of my food pins on Pinterest these days come from Cookies and Cups. That may say more about the kinds of foods I like to make than it does about the blog, now that I think about it. However, I follow a LOT of baking blogs and so to have one shine most on my Pinterest board (Cookies & Other Sweets) speaks volumes to the awesomeness and drool-worthiness of that blog. This blog is DANGEROUS. I could sit and stare at it all day. Sigh.

---

The Girl Who Ate Everything is also a key player on my Pinterest boards. The name of this blog was one I can TOTALLY relate with, even though I am, in fact, a picky eater. However, I love to eat and my picky eating days aren't really what they used to be. I like her savory recipes a lot, but she throws in sweet treats on the blog as well.

---

Lastly, I wanted to throw in a new food blog, well new to me anyway, The Weary Chef. I may not be a mom, but I work a full time job in addition to putting my heart into Lazy Lady and working on my side illustration projects; so The Weary Chef had me at "quick and easy recipes." I'm enjoying digging through Andi's archives and finding new recipes to make at home.
