October- breast cancer awareness month / Listopad- mjesec podizanja svijesti o raku dojke

October is a breast cancer awareness month. Early prevention is very important. Get informed. Read    how you check yourself for early signs of breast cancer (here - or just google it). There are also countless tutorials on youtube explaining how to do a home self-test. If you prefer, ask your doctor do explain the self- check procedure to you. If you notice anything that worries you, contact the doctor immediately.

Listopad je mjesec podizanja svijesti o raku dojke. Rana prevencija je jako važna. Informirajte se, pročitajte (ovdje ili nađite sami sličan članak na webu) kako same sebe pregledati za rane znakove raka dojke. Postoje i brojni tutorijali na youtube koji objašnjavaju kako kući sam sebe pregledati. Ako vam je draže, pitajte doktora da vam objasni proceduru samopregleda. Osjetite li išta zabrinjavajuće, odmah kontaktirate doktora.

    Želim samo dodati da su pregledi kod doktora vrlo bitni, jer ne može se napipati sve, i nije sve što se napipa nužno zlo.
    zato, jednom mjesečno uz samopreglede, trk na uzv ili mamogram.

      tako je, doktor najbolje zna, a uzv ili mamogram bi trebao biti obvezan za svaku ženu. Oni godišnji sistematski u doba komunizma uopće nisu bili loša stvar, danas svi mi više manje idemo u doktora tek kada naš nešto zaboli, a ti neki specijalistički pregledi su jako bitni.

    Slažem se. Jako je bitno znati pregledati same sebe ali isto tako redovno ići na kontrolu jer nikad se ne zna. Sreća pa u današnje vreme medicina sve više napreduje, a ignorisanjem i neodlaskom na pregled, pravimo zamku same sebi...

      svakako kontrola kod doktora je potrebna, ali mislim da je i samopregled bitan. Hvala...crtež je od prošle godine s tečaja slikanja, sada sam se opet priključila novom tečaju:)

    Really such a nice post, dear Ivana, and amazing illustration! Yes, early prevention is the answer. I know so many people who died from breast cancer, and it is so sad, so terrible, if only they had seen that before, so much life that was still so good to be lived and now... all gone, apart from memories, that should be cherished, of course. Hope you have a very great weekend, dear Ivana!!!!!

      thank you Denise. I'm sorry to hear you lost so many dear ones to breast canver...I can relate with you because I lost some family members to cancer as well. My grandfather died of lung cancer and my uncle too (this year sadly). My mother's uncle also died from lung cancer this year ( and he didn't even smoke) When it comes to breast cancer, both of my grandmothers had breast cancer but they managed to overcome it. My paternal grandmother died due to diabetis complications but she lived many years after being treated for breast cancer. My maternal grandmother is still alive, despite all the other health problems she had in the meantime...but cancer is a serious problem, I know many people who died from it too.

    Thanks for this important reminder! Early detection is so important and it really saves lives. A good friend of mine discovered a malignant lump in her mid 30's and thankfully it was early stage. She got treatment right away and has been cancer free ever since.

    Cancer is no joke and like you said Ivana, early detection is key. I'm so glad a whole month is dedicated to this killer. Hopefully with all the awareness being raised about it, medicine is getting closer and closer to a cure. Not just for bc but for all types of cancers. I had to have a repeat mammogram a year ago and it was very scary. Just getting that call to come back in was like a death sentence in itself. Luckily everything checked out. It does get tricky because I have implants and they try to get good shots from all angles.
    A friend of mine is a bc survivor. She documents her journey and vlogs great tips on prevention and lifestyle modifications. I truly pray God a cure for this ugly disease is in sight.
    Beautiful illustration of the lady getting a mammogram. You got skills girl!!!
    I hope your week was phenomenal. Enjoy your weekend.

    Hello Ivanna! I love that you're always changing and mixing different topics (but all connected) in Moda Odaradosti. I have worked a lot in university with breast cancer campaigns because at my school we used to work with some associations. I think prevention is the most important part when it comes to Breast Cancer... prevention and also the value to communicate and! A few months ago my aunt died of breast cancer so imagine how this is affecting my family, of course we're all part of it! It is hard but not impossible!

    I really appreciate your art when it comes to this kind of causes!

    Tons of love, my dear!

    Bravo za izbor teme Ivanice! Jako je bitno voditi racuna o svom zdravlju i ici na redovne preglede. Takodje, s vremena na vreme moramo se i samopregledati i pratiti da nema nekih kvrzica, ne daj Boze.

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
