Lost Hearts Hunt ~ 25 FREE & Fabulous Gifts!!!

I love me a good hunt, but I really don’t like hunts that are just too hard.  I mean, really, who has all that spare time???  I loved (LOVED) the Lost Hearts Hunt located at Valentine Island.  There are 25 easy to find prizes all over this very well decorated Valentine’s Day sim.  There are lots of places to take pictures; lots of places to picnic, dance or play with your SL partner!  But, what’s the BEST part you ask…well, everything is FREE!!!  No group is needed :-). You have some time to get there, but definitely don’t miss it!  The hunt lasts until February 20, 2022.

I don’t want to spoil the hunt for you…so I am not telling you where any of these little hearts are located, but, they aren’t overly hard to find.  They are FREE, so just right click and buy for 0L.  Don’t try the age old trick of looking up under Creator because the amazing creator, Tayren Theas, has created pretty much everything on the sim, so you will have beacons everywhere :-). Tayren has been on the grid a long time and designs for SL Ballet.

 I’ve featured a few of my favorite FREE gifts in the picture above, but, truly, I spent 20 minutes just trying to decide.  The Asian Teahouse comes with furniture and plants (not pictured).  The ladies pajamas match the Men’s boxers (also not pictured).  This chess set that I am standing on can be PLAYED!  The Fountain behind me has running water.  The couple’s tree comes in three versions (Spring, Winter, and White Flower).  There are also adorable Valentine’s chalk posters (not pictured).  The list goes on and on.

So, what are YOU waiting for…grab cupid’s bow and arrow and get on over to Valentine Island!

In this picture, I am wearing the adorable pajamas (called Loungewear) and the little gold heart ring that was easy to adjust.  These gifts both have FREE male counterparts (boxers and a male heart ring).  How cool is that???

Beldam Haunt

It’s rare for me to envision something and then have the ability to manifest what I see in my mind with the tools at my disposal. Death Row Designs and Roawenwood gifted me the ability to really create the sort of diabolical yet romantic scene I had floating around in my imagination. So if this reads like a heartfelt thank you, it’s exactly that. I’ll always be inspired by and grateful for designers who give gifts that are beautifully detailed and thoughtfully made.

Death Row Designs 

I’ve always enjoyed the juxtaposition of the beautiful with the horrific. It’s easy to believe something ugly is sinister, but what of something or someone truly stunning? I find it thrilling in story telling to consider that under a lovely façade lies something malevolent. Death Row Designs often embodies this motif, gorgeous “ruined” things. They have three such things as their free October group gifts, and a fourth group gift that I didn’t show in my photo but is in the vendor ad below. There’s a broken and blood-drenched china tea set, a beautiful set of fall décor that includes a shelf with tchotchke and a silver mirror, and lastly a haunting wall lantern hanging from the fingers of a devilish outstretched arm. The Death Row Designs group is free to join.

Roawenwood

I’ve always felt that Roawenwood often has an inkling of darkness to their furnishings. Nothing too wicked, but just dark enough to be alluring. They have a lovely macabre chair and foot-stool set complete with a display ouija board, and drippy candle with darkly romantic red roses and human skull. The furniture itself has a deep purple-blue color, and a texture that makes me think of velour. There’s also a throw blanket over the stool that has gold-like flecks in it. The “Spirit Board Chair Set” is Roawenwood’s free hunt prize for the Fallen Gods Prophecy Hunt. Please click or copy the link below for the ins and outs of the hunt, including hints, and gift previews.

Summoned

I’ve been summoned! Now I’ll tell you everything you need to know about even more fabulous freebies at Kustom 9. Don’t forget, to get each of these and many more free gifts at Kustom 9, you’ll need to join the Kustom 9 group and wear the group tag. The group is free to join. For this post I picked out the free gifts by Evie, Spoiled, Marti, Mudskin, and Varonis to share with you. Keep reading for details about each one, or scoll down for full credits.

Evie

The dainty glowing horns are the free Kustom 9 gift by Evie. They come in a non-glowy version as well. Included with this gift is a color change hud with quite a few sold color options for these cute little horns.

Spoiled

The wine bottle with skeleton hand accents by Spoiled is probably my favorite of the many free Kustom 9 gifts. It is actually a complete pose set with tons of options. There is an animated/held version of the wine bottle, 6 full body static poses with mirrored version, and 3 non-animated hold poses (also with mirrored versions). Also, there is a color change hud for the wine bottle that lets you pick from 20 colors for the glass, and 20 colors for the skeleton hands.

Marti

This short little dress with the side split by Marti is also free at Kustom 9. It comes in the single peachy color shown, and is fit for Maitreya Lara only.

Mudskin

My spooky eyes are the free Kustom 9 gift by Mudskin. They come in 2 variations, each with appliers and a set of mesh eyes.
Appliers Included: Lelutka, Catwa, Omega, Genus

Varonis

Finally, I love this free backdrop gift from Varonis at Kustom 9. I showed a glimpse of it in my previous post as well. It’s actually a long detailed hallway with the ever so slightly opened door at the back. The candles are also part of the scene.

Even better, here in Second Life I can eat popsicles in bed with no fear of having to do laundry later! As if this moment couldn’t get better, I’m here to tell you that much of what I have on, and the yummy strawberry popsicle is free.

Pink Unicorn – The bright strawberry popsicle is the free Harajuku event gift by Pink Unicorn. This hold-able has a bento pose that should work with most ao’s and static poses (just add the popsicle last). You can pick your copy up for free at the Pink Unicorn booth at Harajuku.

Kotte – The vine-like leaf ring by Kotte is another of the many free gifts at Harajuku. It comes in gold, and silver, with right and left hand options fit for Maitreya hands only.

Fab Free Designer of the Week – Inner Demons

 

Is it Friday yet?! Okay, I know it’s not Friday, however we can take a little break and have a fun adventure among the fantastical scenery at the Inner Demons main store. It’s always fun when a shop has a store environment that is as interesting as the merchandise. Inner Demons is just such a place. You can follow the stone pathways through bright, colorful, glowing flora and fauna to shop for loosely fantasy themed furniture, décor, ladies clothing, and accessories. **Please note that the Inner Demons store is on an adult sim and has some adult themed items in the shop.

Near the landing point at Inner Demons is where you’ll find the “wall of information” as I like to call them. It’s where all of the shop associated events and such are posted. Just a little bit to the right from there, you can join the group, and pick up several group gifts. The Inner Demons group is just 50 linden to join. I think it’s well worth mentioning that the September group gift is a 150 linden gift card which more than makes up for the group join fee.

There are also 2 group only lucky letter boards at Inner Demons, and 1 free for everyone lucky letter board. There is a Midnight Mania board as well that does not require a group. In this same area is where you’ll find the Fabulously Free in SL group gift also. The gift is a cute heart shaped balloon with pose. Simply wear your Fab Free group tag and click the gift vendor to get your free gift. Should you need to join the Fabulously Free in SL group, there’s a Fab Free group joiner on the far left side of that “information wall” I mentioned. Along with the lucky boards, and midnight mania there’s a 25 linden sales item. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

Over It

Finally the weather outside made me want to put on a jacket rather than lift my hair off the back of my neck. It has been an unusually cool day, even for September. Love and Aline may be clinging to summer, but I don’t mind telling you I’m over it. Give me crisp cool air, fall leaves, bonfires, and all the deliciousness that summer is just too hot for. I also love a good fall wardrobe which wouldn’t be complete without a good jacket. The jacket I’m wearing is part of a group gift newly available at Star Sugar. While picking up my new favorite jacket, I also found a handful of free gifts at Star Sugar, one of which was this cute start studded bag. Needless to say I couldn’t resist. For more about each of these fantastic finds, keep reading, or you can scroll to the credits.

Star Sugar

First, the initial thing that drew me to this jacket by Star Sugar were the little bats. I love them! That said, the jacket is a group gift at Star Sugar, along with a matching skirt which I did not wear. The Jacket comes in several pastel colors, all with black trim and little black bats around the bottom. The skirt and jacket are fit for Maitreya Lara only. The Star Sugar group has a join fee of 50 linden, and there are multiple group gifts available including this one recently blogged by Juli. Below is a copy of the vendor photo so you can see the cute buttoned skirt and the sweet pastel colors the jacket comes in.

As I mentioned, there are several free gifts that do not require a group tag at Star Sugar. The gift that caught my eye the most was this cool little star studded bag. This freebie has a hold pose that actually worked with my mixed priority AO. Additionally the free bag comes in the black version shown, as well as yellow, blue, green, pink, and white. Definitely pick this one up!

Here is What I am Wearing:

Hair – TRUTH Alias – Fatpack – Current VIP Gift *Originally Shown Here
Head – Catwa Koura
Skin – Essences – Sibyl – Free Essences Newsletter Group Gift *Previously Blogged Here
Jacket – Star Sugar – *SS* Babe Fit – Free Group Gift/Group is 50L to Join

Good Bunny

Get strapped in Fab Free, literally and figuratively. Since it’s been a few days since my last post I’ve got an entire look of freebies to share with you. I really had a fun time with this look. I think it’s a softer style fetish ensemble. The eyes by Petite Chambre, the lipstick by Leronso, the bunny mask by NyDesign, and the dress by Queenz are all free group gifts. Keep reading for info about each free group gift, or scroll to the bottom for full credits.

Petit Chambre

Don’t mind the strange (but kind of cool!) circular line through one of my eyes in the up close photo. I’m not sure why that happens sometimes when I wear certain mesh eyes, but it does. The textures for these free group gift eyes by Petit Chambre is every bit as beautiful and otherworldly as they look in the ad below. This free group gift at Petit Chambre includes appliers only for Catwa mesh eyes, and Genus mesh eyes. The Petit Chambre group is free to join, so all you need is group space for these pretty eye appliers.

Leronso

I first want to point out that this free gift at Leronso requires you to have and wear the free Catwa HD lips gift. Which also means you must have a bento Catwa head. This free group gift at Leronso is an applier for the Catwa HD lips. It includes the 6 lipstick variations shown. The Leronso group is free to join, and there are multiple group gifts available. If you do not already have the Catwa HD lips, they are free, no group required. Simply head over to Catwa and use the teleporter to head over to the gift area. There you’ll find an entire goodie bag of Catwa freebies, including the HD lips.

NyDesign

This fetish bunny mask by NyDesign is the free group gift that inspired the entire look. This free gift comes with a color change hud with several solid color options for the straps and ears, as well as a few metal options for the studs and rings. The mask comes in a rigged and unrigged version. The unrigged version of the mask can be sized. The NyDesign group is free to join as well, and there are multiple group gifts to be had here also.

Queenz

Finally, this free group gift dress at Queenz was just too perfectly sexy to not share along side the bunny mask! The Queenz store group is free to join, and like the other stores, there are multiple group gifts available. This particular gift comes in several specific sizes, and has a color change hud with 10 preset color choices.

Birds of a Feather

In my experience old saying “Birds of a Feather Flock Together” is true. Love and I may be a little opposite in some ways, but we are definitely birds of a feather in all the ways that matter.

Helping us show off our friendship status is this free “Besties” tee at Legendaire. The t-shirt is a free gift, with no group needed waiting on a table just inside the Legendaire main entrance. It comes in a few sizes including standard mesh and an alpha layer for classic avatars, and has 2 color/texture change huds. There is one hud for each half of several best friends themed graphics like the “Best Bitches” version Love and I are wearing. I hope you have as much fun with this freebie as we did. Happy Shopping!

Fab Free Designer of the Week – KaraBaby

Hello hello Fab Free, and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable week so far. Mine has been good, and creating content for this blog always makes it brighter. For today, it’s time for a designer of the week post with the spotlight on KaraBaby. A shop focused post has been long over due. If you’ve ever visited KaraBaby you know this clothing boutique specializes in mesh and applier clothing for female avatars.

Most of what you’ll find at KaraBaby is casual style dresses, and outfits. There is however a wide range of fashion. You can find everything from lingerie and evening dresses to shoes and swimwear. While browsing the “racks” I saw lots of bright colors and dainty prints. There are also some great opportunities at KaraBaby to pick up some fashion for little to no lindens.

Once inside the KaraBaby shop you’ll find the 35 Linden Sunday Sales items are still available to the right side next to the event items. To the left just as you enter you’ll see the free KaraBaby group gift, and the free group gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members. First, the free KaraBaby group gift is the pretty floral print dress shown. At this time the KaraBaby group is free to join. Next, the pretty shoes with vintage flair are the free Fabulously Free in SL group gift. The Fab Free group is always free to join. Additionally, there is a discount area upstairs where you can find great bargains on older items. Happy Shopping!
