Simply Fabulous Free and Under L$75 Finds in Second Life – Since 2007


It’s Lonely Out In Space

It's Lonely Out In SpaceI’ve found some little green men on my wanderings this week, plus a whole lot more!

Psycho Bytes

I was doing that thing I do, where I check out the other nearby stores around the store that I happen to be visiting. That’s how I found myself in Psycho:Byts. I’ve never heard of this store before but it’s neato. Naturally the wall of free gifts caught my attention. These aren’t group gifts but rather subscrib-o-matic gifts, so no need to use up one of these precious group slots. Just click the vendor and it’ll ask if you want to subscribe. Once you’ve agreed to that, keep clicking on any of the gifts that you want and it’ll verify your subscriber status and deliver the gift for free.

I’m showing two of the free gifts that I grabbed. One is the aforementioned little green men on my top. This top has the best shine and hangs so nice. It comes in one unlabeled size that fit me perfectly. I’m also wearing the free gift eyeliner. It includes eight shades in a Lelutka applier, each featuring a nice pop of color on the upper lid.

I Shall Wear Purple & Shine!

Artic Storm MM 7-30-23_001

Happy Monday! I won’t wait till I’m old to wear purple. I’ll wear it any time I like. I know we’ve all heard at least some part of the poem, “Warning”, by Jenny Joseph. It’s been a favorite of mine for some time now though I never knew its name. “Warning” begins with the words, “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.”. It ends with “But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised when suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.”

Practicing

Here’s the deal, Artic Storm, always has two free MM boards and a Lucky Letter board that don’t require a group to slap. The store also participates in a number of sales and hunts. There is always lots going on in the store. I went over the slapped the MM boards the other night and once the target was met the prize was delivered to me. Score! I can practice wearing purple. The Shine dress comes with a set of matching panties. This lovely & sexy purple dress will indeed have you shining as it comes with a diamond & shine overlay. As you can see it has a very deep neckline. What you don’t see in my picture are the hip high side slits or the open back of the dress. And, the price is just right to make you give up a few minutes of your time to visit the store.

I’ll Put a Hex on You

I love following group chats in several of the freebie and discount groups I’m a member of. In one of those chats someone posted that there were free gifts at new to me store, Hexumbra.
You do need to hit the subscriber. The shop uses discord for customer service and store updates and doesn’t have a traditional group. After subscribing you can pick up the five group gifts above the subscriber button. I’m wearing the Tam Eye Makeup 5 today. It comes in a number of pretty shades.

Get busy slapping!

Time really flies in Second Life! I remember when Heaux was a brand new store and now they are celebrating their 4th Birthday! And are inviting you to celebrate with them!

Happy Birthday Heaux

To celebrate their birthday, Heaux are giving all group members 500L store credit! The group is 200L to join but there are heaps of gifts to snap up and if you visit the store every week, they give away a further 25L credit to group members, which soon adds up! As a quick note, please be aware that the 500L credit must be redeemed by the 4th August but there are lots of goodies to tempt you!

Midsommer Sweetness

Lovelysweet has some really pretty group gifts that you are going to love and the group is also free to join! I fell in love with the “Midsommer Eye” pack. There are 16 different colours to choose from and they come with BOM layers, LeLutka applier HUD and Omega Applier HUD. I’m also showing the pretty “Kyoko Lips” for LeLutka Evo X. There are 12 different matt effect colours to choose from, all on BOM layers. And finally the adorable “Sweetie Pie Nose Add-on” that comes with nose blush and these cute little freckles that just give that little kiss of summer to your skin. All of these are free! Don’t forget to snag the green box of older gifts on the counter underneath for more free gifts.

WINGSDG still has their two Happy Weekend hairstyles out at time of writing and they are really beautiful. I’m wearing the ER0408 style which comes with an optional flower to wear in it. They are 60L per colour pack so fly off and grab them quick before they vanish!

In Search of Magic

In Search of Magic

It’s time for a bit of dreaming, FabFree.  It’s all about wide open spaces, secret passageways into the woods and magical happenings for me today.  I don’t know.  It could be all the rain I’m trying to escape from, but whatever it is, I could use a bit of magic.

That Magic Feeling

Belle Epoque is helping me with all the magic I need by offering group members 500L in store credit!  By joining the group for 50L, you can pretty much get anything you like in store.  I chose the Elaiza dress which is equal parts classy and sweet.  It cost just 349L, which left me quite a bit extra to play around with.  Don’t wait too long though, this gift is only available until August 6th!

Sizes

  • Ebody
  • Juicy
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya

What magic will you find?

After Day Job

Poor Vinny had to get a day job to pay for his fun in SL, luckly he got hired on right away at Bellisseria Dept. of Solid Waste.

I know it looks like he has had the shirt he is wearing forever but really it’s a brand new free gift from Kiki Kaikai with ventalation holes for the hot days picking up garbage cans in Bellisseria.

He was meeting friends at the bar after work so he added a button up under the t-shirt for a dressed up look, hopefully it’s not the same t-shirt he was wearing to collect trash, both versions are included.

Vinny is working the Saturday route so make sure you put your trash cans out and wave when he comes by.

Pinker Than Pink

Barbie Post July 28_001

OMG!! Second Life is filled with Barbie mania. It’s mostly pink things and I love my pink thangs. When I was much younger I spent hours with Barbie. She had a custom wardrobe courtesy of my mom who spent the summer making Barbie’s clothing. I remember asking here if I was getting a Barbie. She told me one of her neighbors had asked her to make the clothes for one of my friends who apparently was getting one. At the time I figured I could could at least play with my friend’s doll. Surprise, surprise! All of Barbie’s handmade clothes were under the Christmas tree along with a Barbie Doll!! Anyhoo, I had a lot of fun putting this post together pulling things from sales and the marketplace. Let’s dive in!

Pinking It Up

You’ve most likely seen a couple of posts about Barbie stuff. See Starla’s post & Aline’s post. Today’s look started with a SL Marketplace search for Barbie with a little help from one one of our own Fabbies! My dress, from Gin’s Boutique, on the MP, is a sort of throwback to the early days of SL with it’s flexi skirt. None-the-less it’s super cute! When I got this dress the other day it was free. Now the price has gone up to $150. The dress has a bodysuit and a one sized flexi skirt. The body suit fits Maitreya, Legacy, & Legacy Perky.

More Pink Than You Can Stand

Barbie Post with car & SIGNJuly 28_001

As I made my shopping rounds I squealed all girly like when I saw even more Barbie stuff! I’ve always wanted a sporty pink car so I paid $60L for it at A Touch of Magic. The car is driveable so if you need to run up or down the California coast you’re all set. It’s a basic car so there are no huds with all kinds of car info like speed etc. Take care when driving around the grid because you may be speeding! It comes with a male character you can drive around with but he doesn’t get to drive; you do. Take that Ken!

Then I saw the Animated  Doll Package just a few steps away. Every respectable blogger should have a doll box. You never know when you’ll need one. It’s a box you need to rez and then sit in. It includes a female doll character to keep you company. This one was also $60L.

Next I traipsed over to Granola where I grabbed this great billboard out for Fifty Linden Friday. I mean who wants to go to the real world?? This is a warning sign for me. Maybe I’ll place in my Linden home’s yard.

I’m off to Malibu!

If You Have A Pulse You Have A Purpose


Hello everyone! I hope your weekend is going well. Its been a busy one for me, but I’ve still managed to sneak in a bit of bargain hunting for you guys to enjoy!

Checking My Pulse

First, look at this dress! Its called the Hesperia Dress and it is by Pulse. Its one of the several group gifts available at their store. There is a fee of 35L to join and the dress is fitted for the following mesh bodies –

  • Maitreya Lara
  • Legacy
  • eBody Reborn

Eyebrows Speak Louder Than Words

I have an eyebrow obsession so I always love to find new brows to add to my collection. These brows are by Magnetic and are a free gift for the Slept on Sales anniversary round. To get them you will need to join the BINGE Events Group for free, then wear the tag and slap the gift poster.

Eye Put A Spell On You

Lovelysweet is also taking part in the Slept On Sales anniversary round with a free gift of the really beautiful Minnie Eyes. They are a pack of 6 eyes that include BOM Layers, a LeLutka applier HUD and an Omega applier HUD. Again just wear the BINGE Events Group tag and give the gift poster a cheeky poke.

What is a Weekend Without a Sale?

You know me and my weekend sales.. well what would a weekend post from me be without mentioning a couple of fab deals! First up from Lamb is the beautiful Valentine Hair for 75L as part of the Saturday Sale. If you love a big glamourous hair style, this is the one for you. Pepe also has a Saturday Sale deal of the Mary V2 Skin for LeLutka Evo X. This is also 75L!

Hope the rest of your weekend is a great one!

Man We Could Have Some Fun

Man We Could Have Some FunFancy a friendly game? Winner buys the next round. It doesn’t get much friendlier than that.

Decorative

I’ll admit, I’m probably more likely to decorate a pool table than be any competition when playing.  Lucky for me, decorative is easy in this great dress that fits like a glove, and it’s free. It’s from Paper + Antler, where the gifts are given a bit unconventionally. By that I mean that the free gifts are mixed right in with the items that are for sale. Just look through the color options, find one with “free” watermarked on it, and that’s your free gift. Most displays have one. I’m wearing the Caiti dress, which can be worn with or without the corset. It is completely free with no group join required.

Sizes:

  • Ebody
  • Kupra
  • Maitreya
  • Legacy

Irresistible

And then, because I am figuratively unable to pass up a weekend sale on hair, I’ve got on the perfect finishing touch from Ade. Each color pack is available for 60L for the Happy Weekend sale, and it includes style options and fun streaks and roots. I’m glad that I grabbed it before the end of the weekend!

Oops, I forgot I don’t have any pockets in this dress. Looks like you’re buying the next round of drinks, after all.
