I just *had* to bring you the latest group gift from one of my favorite stores, Pink Cream Pie. I love the butterflies and the styling of this and as we head into spring, we all need to find those fresh cute outfits to wear! I think you will want to add this one to your closet! (ahem… “inventory”.)
This sexy little number is a free group gift as I said from Pink Cream Pie, the group costs 314L to join, but you get a wall of past gifts (a lot!), along with lucky boards and a 100L bonus credit each month. So absolutely worth the lindens! She takes good care of her VIPs! This outfit fits:
Legacy
Maitreya
Petite
Reborn
Now, I have a chocolate bunny that is calling my name, so I must dash!

There is no monopoly on common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology, regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
Russians – Sting
Hey gang!
Just popping in to show you what I found for Cray and I to show our support of Ukraine (the stories just break my heart).
Really as the Sting song Russians says “There’s no such thing as a winnable war”, which every time there is a warlike conflict, that line pops right into my head. Back when I was a teenager and this song was first released, I never thought that so many years later it would become relevant again. Sting has another song entitled “History will Teach us Nothing“, another line that pops into my head all too often.
It’s all just leaders and their egos. If we could all remember and embrace that we are all the same on the inside, perhaps there would be no more wars. But then I am an idealist, and most leaders are not. It makes me so sad that when the leaders of countries are fighting, the ones who pay the price every single time are the people who are unfortunate just to be living in the country and who are basically innocent in the conflict.
But that’s just how this little idealist sees it. I know it is a lot more complex than that (isn’t it?), but the complexity still does not make it the right thing to do. War has never solved a problem, except to reduce the population and gosh hasn’t the pandemic done enough of that lately?! The moment we are on the brink of returning to normal, someone’s gotta start killing people another way. Sigh.
My mom got me involved in penpalling when I was 11, and my first two penpals were Japanese. Over many many MANY decades I wrote and made friends all over the world (including Russia and Ukraine!) and not a single one was very different from me. The cultures are different, yes, but inside we are all so much the same. Same worries, fears, hopes, dreams… Same wanting to be understood and accepted for who we are.
They say world peace and understanding begins in a small circle of people, like family and friends. Perhaps if we all just put some love and understanding out to someone we know who needs it, or whom we have *not* been peaceful and understanding to in the past, perhaps those little bits of energy can begin to shift the energy on this entire planet and help more people find peace and start to heal.
Just my thoughts, but I came here for freebies/dollarbies so please forgive my long-winded-ness.
I wanted to find something both Cray and I could wear to show our Ukraine support and I found a matching set on market. Thanks to Angel’s Jewelry who has this set available on market for both genders for only 1L. You get a full outfit for the girls (shirt, bodysuit and skirt) and a matching tee for the guys. The mens wasn’t transfer so I had to send a second set to Cray as a gift. These fit as follows:
Mens:
Jake
Signature
Slink
Legacy
Womens:
Maitreya
Isis
Freya
Hourglass
Legacy
I also found this cute hair bow from Sugarplum Boutique on market for free!
Anyhoo this was longer than I meant it to be. Sending lots of peace and love to our planet! ❤

So, I was inspired by my partner Cray’s ability to find dealios on marketplace and I went and found myself something to match! Proving that there are cute things to be found on market for *everyone*.
For the guys, Cray found this awesome 10L outfit by ALB. He’s rather conservative style wise (unlike me lol), so I was very impressed by the colorful scarf which really spoke to my bohemian sense of style. It’s a full outfit (pants, shirt, jacket, scarf) and fits:
FitMesh
Classic
Belleza Jake
Slink Male
Gamit Ocacin

Now my punk-ish outfit, which I love, is on market for only 50L by Misako, it too is a full outfit (suspender pants, sweatshirt and hat). The sweatshirt comes with a HUD giving you several choices of 80’s films (I chose Indy!) and the pants come in blue and black as well. This outfit fits:
Maitreya

It’s that time of year once again, when there are hearts and cupids all around and the world is blissfully pink (ok and red, black, white, purple…)! Now, Valentine’s Day has not notoriously been my best holiday (I got dumped once, when I was 20, on Valentines Day.) but nowadays, the abundance of so many things pink makes me like it so much more!
It’s also the time of the year for another Shop & Hop. Squee! I actually got a late start with it and haven’t gone through everything yet, but I’ve got a couple of things for you to whet your appetite a bit.
As they say on Big Brother…. “But first”, I have a little something for you from Astralia. If you are one of their Very Important Unicorns, this super cute boba tea bear is the new free group gift. You have a choice of several sayings, the one I chose made me giggle so it was a keeper. The Astralia group is 149L to join. This came in very handy while I was running around Shop & Hop at top speed. I got very thirsty!
Here is a close up of it for you:
Now on to Shop & Hop
I wanted to put together a cute Valentine-y post and what better place to scoop up a poop load of goodies than Shop & Hop?! This cute backdrop was a free gift from M-BdP. It comes with some cute poses built in including a “Will you marry me?” pose!
These smexy shoes and stockings are the free gift from Aurora and fit:
Kupra
Legacy
Maitreya
Signature Alice
There is no group required to scoop up the freebies at Shop & Hop, but leave yourself plenty of time because it will take you a good while to peruse the entire mall.
Happy Shopping & Hopping kiddos!

It’s the last week of Cozyfest so I wanted to sneak in two more of my amazing 50L finds. I’ve been hermiting the last day or two watching a blizzard dump snow on my rl home. We have a good foot and a half, and its a whopping 15 degrees and still pretty windy at about 19 mph (wind chill of 3 degrees) as I write this, so I’ve just had some of the chocolate chip cookies I baked today and some hot chocolate with rum to warm up a bit.
My second life self has been enjoying some of the same, some chocolate bars and donuts on a stick for her (made me wonder how you keep the donut from falling off the stick once you have eaten a decent amount of it. I would think it would take a tumble right off.) Either way I’m just a gal with a sweet tooth, and I do love those candy bright colors too. So let’s get to the goodies I found for you, neither of which have anything to do with bright colors or candy! Huh. Go figure!
Let’s talk about these amazing boots. These boots are from Friday at Cozyfest, they are of course 50L and you have the option to wear them without the lights but I got them *for* the lights cause if I could just drape myself in glitter and fairylights, well. That might be downright blissful. They fit:
Legacy
Maitreya
Now the build I am standing in is by Lemme, also 50L at Cozyfest. This cute pink cabin comes in a lighter pink or a darker pink and is just super cozy and cute. It was pink, so how could I say no? Like Aline, I have a bit of a fetish for houses and buildings, a girl can just never have enough! Add pink in that mix and well, you’ve got me doing some heavy breathing! I chose the lighter pink one, the shade just appealed to me more, but I absolutely adore it!
Now, back to my yummy warm drink and perhaps a nibble more of the cookies! Hope y’all are staying toasty too!

Like the other ladies, I too have been stalking Cozyfest and seen all the gorgeousness there. I brought something to show you from there too, this is a 50L find from Asteria, this sexy little number felt perfect with Valentine’s day coming up so quickly, so I grabbed it. The pieces are mix and match and each part is separate and 50L each (bra, panties and shirt), including a HUD with ten coordinating colors for each too. This set fits:
Freya
Hourglass
Isis
Kupra
Legacy
Maitreya
Reborn
Now maybe the other girls are good getting cozy on their own, but I love a little four legged baby to snuggle up to. This cutie is from Foxwood and the set of Doodle pups is on sale right now for 75L. Not sure how long it will be on for, so I would hurry if you want to grab a little sweet pup! They are truly adorable.

So we finally made it to 2022! Time to recuperate, regroup and kick this new year into gear!
New years came with mixed feelings for a lot of us, with the loss of everyone’s favorite Golden Girl, Betty White. Here we were all waiting to celebrate 100 with her, she was an amazing spirit and how awesome the world would be if there were more like her running around! Making people laugh and doing all good things for animals…. ah well. I’ve loved her since I was a teen (a longggg time ago!). Rest in the midst of all the animal spirits Ms. Betty! ❤
A cute comfy dress and some nifty boots.
My super cute dress is a free group gift from Aurica. The group is also free to join, and there are numerous group gifts for you on the wall along with this one. You have the option of wearing it with the lights or without, but I’m such a sucker for anything colorful and sparkly so I left them! This dress fits:
E-Reborn
Legacy
Maitreya
Perky
My awesome tall boots are a promo from StephaneL. They are only 60L and come with an extensive HUD for you to play with. They fit:
Slink
Maitreya
Belleza
Lastly, my toasty warm drink is a New Years group gift from Satus, Inc. because, you know, you can’t possibly start a new year properly without caffeine! Both the gift and the group are free.
PS… its *kind* of my one year Fab Free anniversary! Yay!

I’m still out here being the trouble maker that I am. Mainly because I found *the* most funnest (its a word!!!!! lol) thing ever! Fluffy Stuff has, well, basically a snowball fight that you can buy and it’s still on sale from SoKawaii Sunday yesterday for only 65L! Not only does it give you some cute poses, but when you go into mouselook and aim, you can throw snowballs at things and people and anything! There was no one around so Santa got hit quite a few times. I really got sidetracked playing with this. Lots of fun!
I’ve also still been stalking The Arcade, where I got another pair of these super cute fluffy boots from Gild (mens and women sizes, one size fits each) for only 50L a play and also this awesome jacket and leggings by Amias, which is 75L a play. I’m wearing the Maitreya size.
Again, time sensitive so I can get y’all that awesome sale at Fluffy Stuff. Not sure how long it will be up for though, so if you want some wintery fun (it really is!) run over and grab this while it’s on sale!

I don’t know about y’all but I’ve just about run myself ragged! My little holiday helpers and I have been hard at work putting up the tree and decorations as well as the usual chores like laundry and cleaning before the holiday! We are all pooped. Why, even the little man can’t stifle a big yawn! (and one of the pups found some nice toasty laundry fresh out of the dryer for his nap!)
It’s been a super busy weekend, so it’s time for a little nap for the pups and some chill time for me. There will still be plenty to do before the holiday, like wrap gifts and bake Christmas cookies, etc etc! So I need to rest up too, so let’s talk about the goodies I have for you and then I can maybe grab a quick nap too! (any room left in that toasty laundry???)
Have yourself a Little Puppy Christmas…
So, its not a *new* group gift per se, but it was so fun to pull out of my archives this year and it is still available, and that’s my santa hat from Jian, which of course, in Jian style, is not without some cute! It’s got a sleeping puppy in it! Sooooo Squeeeee-able! For the cat people out there, the gift also comes with a kitten version.
This is a freegroup gift, the group is freeto join, it fits everyone, even the guys out there bold enough to wear cuteness under their santa hat (if you are single that’s a great cute conversation starter to meet girls! You’re welcome!)
HEXtraordinary, not to be outdone in the cuteness department, have an adorbs set of dachshunds for us, 50L each. They are animesh, some are sporting super cute Christmas sweaters and antlers, there are wanderers, companions…. This is for Secret Sale Sunday, *today* so hurry over if you fancy yourself a very cute weenie pup! I love their little wagging tails! I’m showing the non Christmas Cream colored one, snuggled next to me.
For the Practical Minded (not usually me lol)
Careless, whom we have blogged before has their entire line of furniture totally freeat Communal Bliss. I’m showcasing one of the pink sofas, behind me. They are all so well made, with great animations, and for freeyou can’t beat the price. Each set comes with loads of color choices and styles. I do confess I scooped them *all* up so I can change my decor at will! All the items are freeand there is no group needed.
Lastly, but not leastly, one more (sort of) practical item, my shoes. It has taken me near the entire month to get these but I finally got one of the Rare Shoes by Pure Poison at The Arcade. They are 50L a play. Yes, even the non rare ones are cute. 😉
Now since this is time sensitive, let me stop babbling for now, Happy Christmas Week!
