Hello there Fabulouses! I have three really cute group gifts to tell you about in my blog post today. Now that I have started writing, I realize that I have no idea where to start since all three of these items are incredible.
1. I guess we’ll take it from the top!
TRUTH has released a new VIP gift in notices (and instore) for it’s inworld group members. Reyane comes in a full fatpack of colours and includes the hairstylist HUD with plenty of options for versatility. I am sure you have read before on FabFree that there is a group join fee of 350L, but… this comes with 12 FREE exclusive VIP styles a year in fatpacks!! Good deal? I think so! Truth be told, I would have picked this style alone up for 350L in just the blonde pack! ♥ ♥ ♥
2. There’s a new gift at COCO too!
On the ever growing, massive wall of free group gifts in the COCO store, there is a brand new one right by the group joiner. This new gift is the High Waist Colour Jeans in Dark Grey. This group is free to join.
Sizes Included:
Maitreya Lara
Slink Physique & Hourglass
Belleza Isis & Freya
3. The Pupper Love Mugs on the floor 🙂
The cute Pupper Love Mugs placed out on either side of my laptop are a free group gift at JIAN. These little cuties have a land impact of just 2 and are texture change! You can change the colour of the flowers and the puppies! These are copy/mod, and the group is free to join!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I know, I sure did. Watched some beautiful fireworks and had a nice barbecue with family. Yummy, hotdogs and burgers fresh off the grill! And of course, with all of that you can’t forget the fries, baked beans and fresh corn on the cob! Okay… okay, before I make myself hungry again, let’s talk freebies!
I decided to wander over to Foxes today and am I glad I did! Their new group gifts for July are amazing! Their are a bunch of new free goodies, as well as lots of older gifts still available. The in-world group is $150L to join. I always find Foxes items to be super cute, and I can’t wait to see what other goodies she puts out in the main store. So, while venturing at the store, I saw this adorable Jasmine Cropped Top and I couldn’t wait to share it with all of you. I normally dislike the color yellow, but when I put this on I was quite pleased with how it looked!

Maitreya
Now, I am a sucker for animals, especially cute hold-able ones. Foxes always seems to have some cute babies up their sleeve! This month’s free group gifts include a baby sloth! That’s right… a SLOTH! I am a lover of these slow moving animals, so to have one to hold in Second Life?! I about died, with excitement. I am like never putting this little baby down, maybe I shall give him a name… mmmh? Well, I should ponder this for a while, names are very important you know!
I found these sweet holdable English Bulldogs called Sigh and Scaredy as a free group giftat Black Bantam last night and I have been toting them around ever since. I liked the names they came with, but you can change them if you wish. The group is free to join – and aren’t they CUTE? 😀
Puppy features:

Interactive with yourself and your friends via a clickable menu
Rename your pup or recolour/remove the floating text
Auto on/off
So much fun! ENJOY!
You can find this free group gift in a pink gift box on the counter at Black Bantam set to their free inworld group. Whatcha waiting for?

Spot will find ANY way to see who’s pulled up in the driveway! On the back of the sofa, on top of the kitchen table, and even in the kitchen sink… Should I take advantage of the moment and give him a bath? Shucks, I shouldn’t have said that out loud.. at the word “bath” he hid… somewhere. I will find him! Spot by the way, is made by JIAN and is available as one of the gacha commons at this round of The Epiphany for 75L a play! He won’t notice one more dog… right? 🙂
Sunday Violet
It was Sunday and I was just lounging around in my new sweatsuit by Siss Boom! I picked up the Sunday Violet outfit for just 60L as a special limited time offer at the entrance of the shop. The jacket and pants come in several mesh body sizes and the white t-shirt underneath is an omega applier. I think the events change out mid week, but I can’t remember for sure – so if you love this set as much as I do, make sure you head over there today to pick it up before it goes back up to full price!

Greetings, fabulous readers! I’m back in the saddle bringing more awesome gifts for you and your equine buddy!
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Brrr, it’s cold on the trail today, but I’m staying warm and cozy in this beautiful coat. The Kabira Coat is the December group gift from Sevyn East and comes in the following sizes:
Belleza
eBody
Maitreya
Slink
TMP
Tonic
Not only does the coat come in this Christmas-y green color, but with the magic of a texture-change HUD, it also comes in blue, black, and a pretty purply-pink.
Note: the gift I picked up had an attachment problem with the HUD, but hopefully, that is fixed now. If it’s not, just rez the HUD on the ground and make your selection that way. It still works. 🙂
Horsin’ Around
Fergus is back in his horse body today after spending a few days as a stag, and he’s chomping at the bit to share some of his free finds with you:
Fergus’s antlers – with holiday ribbons and lights – are a gift from Jinx at The Chapter Four. There is also similar set for “hooomans” in the box.
If you have already purchased the Norse Gods Tack Set for your WHRH, there’s a free gift waiting for you at the Jinx store. The Xmas Texture HUD will turn your tack a pretty red and gold with a white blanket. There are versions for heavies as well as WB/QH in the box.
The Snowy Hoof Applier is a free gift from CINNAMON. You’ll find this – and several more WHRH gifts – under the Christmas tree at the Water Horse Mall.
Another gift from The Chapter Four is this hair from Blossom. The BMGH 02 Xmas Edition hair comes in 6 different colors and includes the Santa hat. It’s not labeled as unisex, but I think this hair could also be worn by fellas who like a longer look. One thing: there appears to be some sort of light built in, which you can see right under my hat where the hair parts. I could not figure out how to turn this off (no mod), but it’s really not a big deal.
My jewelry is a gift from Elle et Lui at The Chapter Four. The necklace and earrings are included. There is no resizer, but you can do a right-click > edit > stretch if you need to change the size.
Finally… my gloves are a gift from E-Clipse Designs. A texture-change HUD is included so you can change the color from black to brown or sand. The gloves are Bento-enabled, so you will need to remove your hands if you don’t want them showing through the gloves. Guys, there is also a version for you, which Carson showed off HERE.
Whew – that’s all for now. Happy trails to you! 😀

Hello Fabulouses! As Ripley and I were out wandering the grid, my canine pal froze, pricked up his ears, tilted his head, then took off running. Barely managing to keep him in my field of vision, I trailed behind, wondering what in the world had gotten into the pupster this time. Out of breath, I finally caught up to Rip at the Pennycat sim, where I found him offering a comforting paw to a downcast pixie. She and the other magical creatures on the sim explained that the Great Pixie of Winter had been weakened in a battle with the Demon of the Sun. By collecting snowflakes and returning them to the Pixie of Night Snow, we could help the Great Pixie of Winter to recover all three of her powers. It seemed a simple enough task, and with the promise of some lovely hunt prizes, Ripley and I set to work collecting snowflakes for the Pixies of Snow Hunt. In just a short amount of time, we were victorious in our mission, and gathered our hunt prizes. Two of them are featured in tonight’s post.
Reindeer Princess
My gorgeous crimson and white gown set the theme for the outfit I put together for my photo today. The Aurora Princess Dress is a free gift from Shanti for members of the Shanti Bohemian Shop group. This stunning strapless dress features a red bodice with contrasting white stitching, and a full paneled, floor length skirt. In the chilly early winter air, I was grateful for the coordinating wrap draped around my shoulders. The gift box includes mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL and an alpha layer for classic avatars. To pick up a copy for yourself, teleport to the shop, activate the group tag (50L join fee) and click the vendor. The generous designer set out other gifts out for group members, too.
A “Crown” Atop My Head and a New Found Friend
The free prize box from Tayren’s Fantasy Fashions awarded at the conclusion of the Pixies of Snow Hunt contained two fun accessories to complete my outfit. Sitting atop my head, the free Winter Stag Antlers added a touch of whimsy and holiday spirit to my otherwise formal attire. The pale gray color scheme worked well with the winter white sections of my gown. Every princess needs a trusted advisor or two, and Mr. Wyse, my free shoulder pet (also from Tayren’s Fantasy Fashions) fit the bill perfectly. He is just so cute, and is already fast friends with Ripley. The best part in Ripley’s opinion…. he doesn’t care to munch on Ripley snacks!
More Boxes to Unpack…
I still have more packages to open and hunt prizes to sort through. It almost looks like Christmas came early to my little homestead. I think there’s a very good chance Ripley and I will be back soon with another Pixie gift or two. Until my next post, happy shopping hunting!
Hello Fab Free’rs!I don’t know about you, but I am definitely experiencing summer weather right now. It’s sunny and hot! About this time of year for the past few years I start hearing about creative ways people are creating personal space indoors and outdoors. The ladies especially seem to be getting in on this movement, I keep hearing terms like “She Shack” and “Woman Cave”. Limited on both space and funds in real life, I decided to try this trend myself here in Second Life.
Fab Exclusives
Two of the items I picked up to create this little back porch oasis are Fab Free Exclusive group gifts. This means they are absolutely FREE! As a reminder, and for those who are new to Fab Free, the Fab Free group is always always always FREE to join. The first gift I picked up to get started on my little space is the lovely aqua blue wood background with the pretty climbing ivy plant shown in my photo. It is the FREE Fab Free exclusive gift from Cwtch. The background lovely all on it’s own (my photo really doesn’t do it justice), still I liked it as the main “wall” for my little spot. Next I also picked up the current FREE Fab Free exclusive group gift from Storax Tree. That little kitty napping in her gilded hanging cage was just too cute to resist. Besides, even my quite spot needs a furry friend to keep me company. The open cage is usually quite a bit larger, but I sized it down using the built in touch menu.
Not all Dust Bunnies are Bad
Along with their recent FREE group gift, Dust Bunny released the cutest gacha set recently. The FREE group gift is the beautifully detailed diy rose tea set. This pretty little piece of decor would look lovely sitting on a table or counter. The Dust Bunny group is also FREE to join. In the name of sprucing up my quiet space, I also Dust Bunny’s new Woodland Dreams gacha while I picked up the group gift. The gacha is just 50 lindens per play, and there is a bonus gift awarded after 20 plays. I didn’t play that many times, so I can’t really comment on that gift, however you’ll find it pictured next to the gacha machine at Dust Bunny, then you can decide on your own if it’s worth the effort. I ended up with a good selection of the common furniture/decor items after just a handful of plays. The hanging macrame chair is probably my favorite of the group, there are around 20 female sit poses, and almost as many male sit poses in the chair. Of course picked one of the least feminine of all the female poses for this photo!
Hello there, Fab Free! In my last post {HERE}, I told you about the Flawless Sim’sAdventures in Babysitting quest that Ripley and I had recently completed. Today I have a quick post to share three more of the 11 free prizes that are awarded at the completion of the quest.
A Bird in the Hand
First of all, the Pretty Saffron Finch perched on my finger came from Zo Awesum. The cute little guy is so adorable, and comes with his own cage, but I kind of figured he’d appreciate some freedom so he could stretch his wings. Best of all, he is completely free when you finish the babysitting quest. When I was a little girl in real life, I used to sit quietly below my father’s bird feeder, with my hand outstretched, just hoping a feathered friend might land on my fingers, but it never happened. At least I get to experience that in SL. 🙂
A Free Top….Why Knot?
My free, long sleeved, knotted top from Tori Stylez was well worth all the searching for those two wandering twins. Lily features a delicate floral print and realistic folds in the texture. It includes a color change HUD packed with 8 options, so it’s like getting 8 different shirts in one. I chose to pair the crop top with simple denim shorts, but you could also dress it up with a skirt or a pair of longer pants on a cool day. I really like how the ends of the ties dangle down.
Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility
Mesh in XXS, XS, S, M, L

The Mark of Beauty
Sometimes in SL, it seems like everything is just too perfect, too flawless. With the freeAdventures in Babysitting gift from Arte, you can add a touch of whimsy and visual interest to an otherwise perfect complexion. With the Catwa Adored Moles applier, you can wear two versions of a sprinkling of beauty marks. I think they provide a lovely touch of character, and help to draw the eye to your face. Below, I’ve included snapshots of my face with no beauty mark applier (on the left) and with the second variation of the moles (on the right), so you can get an idea of the range of options available. One of the wonderful things about SL is the ability to change the appearance of your skin with just a few clicks.
Well, that wraps up my coverage of the Adventures in Babysitting quest at the Flawless Sim. The event runs only until May 29th, and grants you 11free prizes in all at the completion of the quest. I enjoyed reading the story as I traveled from store to store, and was very happy with the quality of the gifts at the end. To begin your own adventure, teleport to the Flawless Sim, and click the event sign to obtain the necessary Hud. Wear the HUD, which will appear as a red oval on your screen, say yes when prompted for permission, then left touch the HUD and select “Adventure in” on the sub menu. Directions for completing the quest will appear on your screen.
Hello Fabulous Readers! Today, I escaped got out of work early, and since it was a gorgeous spring day, decided to take a stroll on the beautiful grounds of the Calas Galadhon sim with my pal, Ripley. While he happily scampered about, I enjoyed the glimmering sunshine, which danced off the surface of the pond, while a gentle breeze stirred the boughs of the trees overhead. Suddenly, my peace was disturbed by a flash of fur, and the scampering paws of a creature as it scrambled up my leg and perched, curled around my neck. As I stood in shock, the ferret stared down at my canine companion, and stuck out his tongue at him. Of course, this set Ripley off into a barking frenzy! So much for my harmonious afternoon…
It took some sweet talk, and the promise of his ever-coveted Ripley snacks to persuade him to give the climbing pole cat a break from “chase the ferret.” As the pupster wandered off in search of another playmate, my new friend and I gazed at each other and relaxed. He’s really quite sweet, with deep, brown eyes surrounded by a mask of fur. Surely there is room enough in our home for just one more pet…
As Lovely as a Goddess
My cream colored goddess top and black leather leggings are the latest free group gift for members of the Teleport Hub group from Prey. Airy and light, with a realistic texture and open back, this sleeveless top is perfect for warm weather. The curve-hugging leather leggings fit perfectly under the hem of my shirt, and provided a striking contrast to the loose fitting blouse. Together, these two pieces create a timeless, classic appeal that is simple, yet elegant.
What’s Included:
Goddess top in XS, S, M, L, XL
Black leather leggings in XS, S, M, L, XL
Alpha layers for the top and leggings
To add this charming outfit to your inventory, simply swap to the Teleport Hub group tag, then journey over to Prey. On the wall near the landing point, you will find the group gift sign. The Teleport Hub normally has a 10L join fee, but it’s currently set at oL (at the time of publication). I’m not sure how long this will last, but I’d highly recommend joining if you can, because there are a boatload of free group gifts for members scattered across the grid.
About Adding to Our Family…
I tried to convince Ripley that we have plenty of room for a fur-sibling for him, but he resisted. I cajoled and pleaded, promised double scoop ice cream cones with Ripley snack crumbles, and I almost had him convinced, when I heard a deep voice say, “Excuse me, Miss, but I believe you have my Jasper. You see, he escaped from his harness, and I’ve been searching for him all afternoon….” The little ferret wriggled with joy, and happily reunited with his owner as Ripley heaved a sigh of relief. Jasper’s owner and I chatted for a little while, then my pal and I headed toward home, making a pit stop for ice cream on our way.
Blouse and Leggings: Prey Goddess Top and Leather Leggings (free gift for the Teleport Hub group 0L/0L to join (at the time of posting) – normally 10L join fee)
