      <image:title>Blog - Let’s talk about my keyboard! - Now, the fun accessories!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Not that the other things weren’t fun, but y’know. I swapped out the white desk mat I used to have for this pink and orange checkered one and I loveeee how much character it added to my setup! Coupled with my bright yellow wrist rests and the backlit keyboard, it’s just so fun and cheerful! Both the mat and the wrist rests are available in several colors, so you can create whatever combination you like! Check out the links below to get yours!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Let’s talk about my keyboard! - Always use protection!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I learned the hard way that this is something you’re gonna want to spend a few extra bucks on- a keyboard cover! When I first got my puppy, being the energetic and playful little Aussie she is, she knocked a cup of coffee over- riiiiiight onto my keyboard. I had to fully disassemble it (yes, each and every switch) clean each little crevice, then put it all back together. Save yourself the trouble and pick up one of these covers!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Let’s talk about my keyboard! - GLORIOUS Keyboard &amp; Mouse</image:title>
      <image:caption>And no, that’s not just my opinion! My keyboard and mouse are both by Glorious PC Gaming; the keyboard is the GMMK 2 and the mouse is the Model D. The mouse can be used wirelessly, I just leave it plugged in so I don’t have to worry about the battery. I switched out the keycaps for the Aura V2s which are more transparent, so they let more of that glorious (lol) RGB lighting through! My awesome younger brother actually picked out all of this as a Christmas gift for me a couple years ago- I must say, he has great taste! Check out the links below if you’d like to get these for your own setup!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Setup Upgrades! - Added a fun desk mat!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I switched out my plain white desk mat for this fun pink and orange checkered one! It immediately added so much color and personality to my setup- I love it! It’s also a bit wider than my old one, which is nice. Can you tell I love color? The yellow wrist rests plus the checkered mat are eye-popping and I’m obsessedddd. I have links for both (and my awesome keyboard) below!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Setup Upgrades! - Finally got some cool gamer lights!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Are you really a gamer if you don’t have cool colorful lighting in your setup? I kid, of course, but I am so happy to finally have added more lighting to my desk. It makes the space sooo much more vibe-y, especially when I have the curtains closed! I’ll be sure to get some pictures of it in the dark so you all can get the full effect. I have linked the strip light I got below! It is controlled through the Govee app on your phone, which makes it very easy to come up with any color combination you could think of! They also have several pre-programmed combos for different moods/occasions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Setup Upgrades! - Never too many trinkets!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have also added lots of little things to the walls and shelves; some new, some vintage! P.S. How many Bulbasaurs can you find in this picture? My collection is up to at least 13 different plushies and figures, though they aren’t all visible here. I have linked a couple of my favorites below!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Halloween throwback! - The Scarf</image:title>
      <image:caption>For her iconic sorta-red sorta-pink scarf, I chose an infinity scarf from the brand C.C. I am a bit ashamed to admit that I, a knitter of 20+ years, didn’t make it myself, but I was worried about time and decided to purchase one premade rather than to risk not being able to finish knitting one before it was too late! I can be such a procrastinator. This scarf is soft and cozy, and the perfect vibrant coral color that popped so well against the forest green sweatshirt. Click the link below to get the exact one!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Halloween throwback! - The Sweatshirt</image:title>
      <image:caption>I went with a classic Hanes pullover crewneck in the color Deep Forest. It’s lightweight yet cozy, washes well, and is still in great shape all these months later! Green is my favorite color, so I reach for it often in the cooler months. The link below will take you to the Amazon page to get your own- they have so many colors to choose from and they are incredibly affordable at $12! I’ll likely add a couple more to my closet for the fall at that price!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Halloween throwback! - The Wig</image:title>
      <image:caption>I found the perrrrrfect wig from LightInTheBox (I don’t have a link as it is no longer available on their site, but I have linked a similar one below!) which was inexpensive and of surprisingly good quality! All I had to do was trim the bangs and ponytail a little and it transformed me into Lofi Girl! I gotta say, I loved how I looked with bangs in this costume, but bangs like this just don’t work with my real hair! It’s too fine and flat and the upkeep needed for bangs like this just isn’t for me!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Halloween throwback! - The Headset</image:title>
      <image:caption>As I mentioned, I already owned this over-ear headset by Status. They are the Core ANC model and are, unfortunately, currently unavailable, but the link is below in case they get restocked! I could have modified these to look like hers, but to be honest, I just didn’t feel like it. Maybe if I wear this again I’ll add the other details!</image:caption>
