I’m not going to sit on a bench in the cold like I did last year. I found a warm coffee shop to hold up in while she is crossing those last minute gifts off her list. With a book in hand, my time will fly as she fights the crowds. I found today’s outfit at Mara’s Mysteries Boutique. The Holiday Sweater and Pants are the Peace on Earth Hunt gift. The sweater/pants combo come in three colors, Red (shown), Green, and Gray and in sizes XS-XL. You still have time to get this gift and all the rest. The Peace on Earth Hunt ends on the 31st.
I woke up this morning to the sound of these sweet birds chirping in my new bird feeder. I just had to come out and say hello. 😀
Red and White
S@BBiA set out a couple of new gifts this month, and I’m wearing both of them here today. They are perfect for staying warm and cozy during a walk in the snow.
The first gift is my dress, which is new on the lucky board. The Slit Sweater Dress & Velour Pleated Skirt comes in 2 pieces, so you could possibly wear them separately if you wished. Both items come in a one-size-fits-all mesh with an alpha layer.
The second gift is these red suede Western Boots, which are S@BBiA’s newest group gift. The boots are sized for Maitreya and Slink feet.
I love the way both gifts go together so well. 🙂
Christmas Cardinals
{What Next} sent out a new gift to group members: this lovely Winter Bird Feeder with cardinals. It comes in a snowy version (pictured here) and a no snow version.
You should still find the gift in your notices. If it’s not there, just head over to the {What Next} mainstore and click the vendor to receive your gift.
Whether you are with friends and family or spending the holidays alone, I wish you peace and happiness. ❤

I gave myself the gift of travel for Christmas. So here I am, jet-setting into the weekend in Paris. I think I’ll start by walking past the Eiffel Tower, hop on the metro to get to the Champs Elysées, get some shopping in, see the lights, and then collapse artfully into a chair at Ladurée for a drink and some macarons.
To ensure I have the perfect afternoon here in Paris, I packed a few essentials…
Chic and Comfy!
If you pop over to the Scandalize sim, you’ll note that there is a little hunt going on. All the stores that inhabit said sim have put out a few dainties to tantalize your need for fashion. I picked up the Parka (which comes with a top I opted not to wear) for 15L when I found the little present lying somewhere about the place! I also got my paws on these awesome starry pants and matching top for another 15L. There are several different versions of the top and pants included in the box, all in this cheery red shade. Keep hunting round the sim – who knows what you’ll find?

I Love Olive
In my travels around SL hunting for awesomeness, I stopped in at Olive and saw that they have a plethora of Lucky Boards with super cute freehairstyles up for grabs. No group join needed, just a bit of patience. The Roz hair looks artfully disheveled and suits my afternoon of Parisian wandering just fine! It comes in a pack of colours named “bubble goth”. How cool is that name? There are loads of hairstyles to be had at Olive, so go try your luck!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a pile of macarons to buy and eat!

Normally I wear Catwa’s Candy or Catya mesh heads, however recently I was alerted to a sale at LAQ that had me wanting to try something new. The newly released LAQ Bento Motion Capture Neve Head is just 500L until December 24th (will be $5000L after that!) and it comes with the beautiful face applier shown in several different skin tones and a shape – which you can edit to your liking. Neve is a beautiful head that comes with all of the bells and whistles, and at a deal like that – I couldn’t pass it up! I’m glad I gave it a try, it’s nice to change my head once in a while! (Can’t say that in RL, can you!?)
Group Gift At LAQ
While at LAQ, I found that they have a new freegroup gift too! The LAQ group is free to join and on the back wall you’ll find the Snowflake on Tongue for LAQ Bento Heads and the animation that goes with it.
My Holiday Hair
DOE is participating in The Holiday Hunt and their prize is fantastic for the holiday season! Once you locate the hidden red and white gift bag at DOE, you’ll have the Ruby Holiday Hunt Exclusive in a full fatpack of colours (texture change hat included!) for FREE! Make sure you have the hint from the hunt blog… it’s a tricky one to find without it!

I thought I’d start my holiday break with a bit of ice skating at Winter Holiday Village. The large lake has many features and is decorated in it’s holiday finest. You should definitely check it out! My skating attire consists of another FREE gift from Power Design. The Logan Outfit includes a hooded sweater and jeans in sizes XS-XL and includes a texture HUD for two different sweater patterns. The gift is under the tree upstairs and there is no group to join. Another FREE gift from Power Design are a pair of Ice Skates. Simply wear them and by using your arrow keys, watch yourself skate like a pro.
