There’s No Good Way to Say Goodbye

To a Great and Supporting Creator

As I write this post I can feel myself tearing up. .EscalateD., which is one of my favourite stores of all time, is closing its doors on July 31st, 2022. .EscalateD. was the first creator to support me as a blogger and I have had the privilege of showing their unique and beautiful hairstyles over the years. .EscalateD. has to have been one of the most generous hair creators to contribute to the freebie community over the years and the store will be missed dearly by her devoted fans. I hope that on whatever journey Dolphin Ayres embarks on after this that she finds great fulfillment and happiness in her RL and SL. ❤

Solaris

I am wearing Solaris today, which is my favourite hairstyle of all time from .EscalateD. It’s so beautiful. I love the detailing in the braids and the stones. This is a classic work from this wonderful creator. The hairstyle includes a style hud and a Universal Colour Hud in naturals and unnaturals colours, which work on all of the hairstyles sold in the store.

You may be lucky enough to win this hairstyle on the MM Board this month, as this will be your last chance to play these fun boards. Every day, there is a new hairstyle on the Midnight Mania boards which group members can play to win. The .EscalateD. VIP group only costs 25L to join right now. The boards are locking regularly lately. You can also win a tonne of hairstyles on their lucky boards, as well as Universal Colour huds. Being a VIP also gives you access to all of their lovely group gifts. There are more hairstyles available for free for those not in the group as well on lucky boards and mini mania boards that are free for all to play, as well as a few freebies and 5L offers on the wall. Now is your last chance to grab the free offers and group gifts at the store!

Additionally, you may have store credit racked up on your .EscalateD. account. Check your balance using any of the check credit terminals in the store. You only have until the end of July to use up that credit when the store closes. After that, credits will be gone forever. All items in the store are set to a 25% off discount for the closing sale. Fear not, though, .EscalateD. is not gone for good! After the store closes, all of the products will be available for purchase on their Marketplace store.

A final gift

As a parting present, my pretty little necklace is a free gift from Supernatural @ SL19B. It complimented my look well today and I always enjoy a little gift from this talented creator.

That’s all for now, FabFree!

Jurassic Worlds

I am all about the fandoms and blockbuster franchises today. You may remember my rantings about the Peter Pan universe earlier this morning. As it turns out, I am a way bigger nerd and enjoy more fandoms than just Harry Potter, which I have blogged about many times in the past. Well, this posts’ obsession is Jurassic Park! I’m actually going to head out to enjoy the latest Jurassic World: Dominion movie later tonight for the big date night of the week! For some reason, this scene Caroline is in reminds me of that universe, but it’s too bad I didn’t have any scary dinos backing me up. Hopefully, I can do a scary post one day with them, although the way I pictured my SL photography and dinosaurs is that they would look too cute to look like they are ready to eat humans. SL just has a way of making all creatures seem adorable. Anyways… let’s just say my brain is on all things related to Raptors, T-Rexes, and rocky parks with waterfalls because I just had a Jurassic Park movie marathon this week.

Yaina

Ok, enough about dinosaurs! Time to get to the gifts! Faga has this beautiful hair out as a free group gift. You are looking for the “Exclusive Pack Gift” sign under the Yaina hair vendor. Their group is temporarily free to join. It includes a nice little colour hud as well.

Eden

The cute Golden Zebra print “Eden Sandals” I have on are the latest group gift at Starlight Apparel. Just join the ~* Mandilena Creations *~ group for 25L and grab the huge wall of gifts at the store while you’re at it.

A Dome for the Ages

The last find I have to share today is what I used to create my scene for my photo today. This is one scene you can create from the skydome by Anna Erotica. You will find it for only 10L on the Marketplace. This is a huge skydome that allows you to change the colours of the sky and ground by touching it, and it is only 11 prims. The item does not have modify permissions, although many of their other products do. I absolutely love this creator. In fact, I live in one of their massive 15 prim “Palm Beach” skyboxes most of the time and it takes up virtually no space in my prim allotment. Their stuff is so low prim and afordable! I love the textures, scenes, and skies in their builds. For example, they have a 1 prim skybox home for only 1L here which is spacious, and it includes full modify permissions. You can find more 75L and under on their Marketplace here. Be warned that this is an adult store, so you will come across adult items in their shop if you explore further, but in this post, I have only linked general-rated items.

Enjoy, FabFree!

Shopping Spree!

Hey FabFree! I have another limited- time gift card annoucement, so I’ll get to it so you can grab the offer ASAP! This gift gives you a chance to go on a HUGE shopping spree at one of my favourite stores.

A 2,500 L Holiday Treat

I blogged about how Ari-Pari‘s advent calendar is delayed previously here. You may remember that they will be setting out their advent gifts later so keep an eye out for those in the future. On top of this, Ari-Pari has set out a 2,500 L gift card for their group members. That’s two-thousand, five-hundred lindens worth of store purchases! You need to be in the Ari-Pari group to get the offer, which only costs 25L to join.

Ari-Pari is known for their generosity and this holiday season is no exception. As many of their products are so affordable, you can purchase a lot of items with the gift card! I am sporting the Winter Forest Outfit, which is available at Winter Wonderland at Malus Park until December 31st. The set includes includes a cozy sweater and jeans, and you can change the patterns and textures of each piece to several different colour options via a HUD. This outfit costs 250L, leaving lots of room to purchase more! You can also use the giftcard on most items at the Ari-Pari mainstore. As far as I know, the gift card does not expire. I’m not sure how long this offer is available, so go, go, go!
