Winding Down

The weekend may be slowly coming to a close (alas!), but I think I still have a bit of fun left to squeeze out of it.  Time to put on some comfy but cute clothes, hang out on the porch and enjoy the sunset.  Hey, that counts as partying nowadays, right?

It’s the Kustom

As is my wont, I made my way to this month’s round of Kustom9 and played all the lovely gachas (I refuse to acknowledge this as a problem!), but the one gacha that to me is always super worth it is Amitomo.  You really get bang for your buck when you play their gachas.  At just 69L per pull, it’s hard to come away with anything less than a stellar outfit!  In just two pulls I had a top and skirt combo that is ready for all types of porch chilling.  If you’re lucky, you might just get the rare hair!  As always with Amitomo, their items are made exclusively for Maitreya bodies.  Which will you win?

Keep it Sparkly

And because I’m a bit sad that the weekend is ending, these sparkly tears I’ve got on my cheek from Insomnia Angel give my outfit just that little bit of glam drama I needed.  They’re completely free, no need to join a group.  Just head on upstairs and you’ll find a confessional full of free gifts that are fun, surprising and a bit surreal!

Farewell, sweet weekend.  You will be missed!

I think this shirt generally sums up my feelings.  And probably a lot of yours too, dear readers.  Say no more!

Uber it Up!

There are few days left to this round of Uber, and we’ve shown you lots of the free goodies you can grab on the blog.  I couldn’t help but show you this fun tee from one of my fave designers, Miss Chelsea.  It’s completely free when you visit Uber, no need to join a group!  There are so many fun gifts at Uber that you’ll probably be unpacking for ages.  Don’t wait though, this round ends on the 22nd!

Bonbon Goodness

There’s a new group gift over at Bonbon.  Their hair is so cute, I can rarely hold myself back from their new releases.  To get this fun hairstyle (which comes with several different bang options, as well as loads of different hair colour options in the HUD), all you have to do is join their group for 99L.  You gain access to a whole pile of their older gifts too when you join, so totally worth it!

Come on 2020, get your act together!

Spooking a Bit Early

I know we’re still a long way away from Halloween, but I deffo need something to look forward to right now.  To that end, I’m spooking things up just a little bit with some fun gifts.

Zoom!

It’s an anniversary round at Twe12ve, and that means that there are some gifts to be had.  Each booth has a 12L special gift for you, and I really liked this knotted tank by Zoom.  There’s something deeply mystical about it, and that’s making my super early Halloween dreams come true!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya

Ooh, Spooky!

These knickers from Mikan were too good to pass up.  I love the fact that the HUD has lots of different Halloween options for the design on the front, including jack-o-lanterns, bones, ghosts and bats.  So cute.  To grab yours, join the Mikan group for free, then click on the vendor.  Adorbs!

Are you done rolling your eyes that I’m getting Halloweeny so early?

It’s all too Easy

In Second Life, there are always those who will take up the mantle of helping others.  I know we often focus the negative things that happen, but you really have to look for the people who are doing good.   Although the Stay at Home Club is coming to an end (you’ve still got 9 days!), there are other groups stepping up to fill the void.  I’ll tell you all about one of them today!

So Easy

Easy Finds for Hard Times is a free to join group that aims to put together free gifts to lift our spirits during the fun adventure we know as 2020 (that adventure thing was sarcasm, ps).  I picked up two of the free gifts today, including…

• FREE Fall Decor by Kim’s Kreations, with lots of poses included.
• FREE Dress by Rogue Echo sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique & Venus

If you peek in group notices, you’ll find the list of all the gifts that are currently available, and more are being added daily.  You can join the group by pasting the code below into local chat:

Hooray for helping hands!

Back to Cool

It’s back to school time in my part of the world, and I’m always a sucker for new clothes, new stationery and new friends!  There’s something exciting about September, it’s always been one of my faves.  A big shout out to all the teachers heading back to uncertain circumstances in schools, whether you’re teaching in person or doing remote learning, and also to all the students who are heading back to a school building that doesn’t function the way it did in the past.  Stay safe, education land!

Feeling Pretty, Yet Again!

The other day I showed you the newest group gift from Pr!tty, and I’m happy today to show you the second one that you’ll also get!  The Pr!tty group is free to join, and you’ll find this full fatpack of hair in group notices.  I love every minute of it!

Alpha Beta

Another group gift you’re sure to enjoy is yet another you can get over at Alpha Female.  This group is also free to join, so this full outfit is an awesome deal!  In the box you’ll find the top, jacket and jeans, perfect for back to school awesomeness.  The top and jacket combo can be worn separately from the jeans, so they’re a good staple to add to your collection.  Oh, there’s also a pair of boots in the box too!

Foxy Lady

Leaves are falling all around
It’s time I was on my way
Thanks to you I’m much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it’s time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it’s headed my way

Ramblin’ On

I couldn’t help but quote a bit of Led Zeppelin at you.  When Autumn comes around, that song always has me feeling all the feels!  Anyway, there’s maaaaassive news from Mangula today, and that is that they’ve got 20 free gift boxes lying around the store for everyone to pick up!  No group join required, just click on the boxes scattered around the shop.  You’ll also find that each box doesn’t just contain one gift, they each contain multiple, and that’s hella generous!  I fell in love with the contents of box #6, which is this awesome corseted dress.  I don’t know how long this will be going on for, as it is listed as “limited time only” so get your patoot over there!

Update:  Looks like you have to hit the subscrib-o-matic in order to pick up the gifts!  It’s located over the front desk and is free to join!

Hair and nails…we can never have enough, can we?  I won’t talk too much, let’s get right down to the action!

Feelin’ Pr!tty

There’s a new group gift at Pr!tty!  Well… actually there are two.  But I’m showing off one tonight!  The super high and floofy pony called Brittany will have you feeling extra peppy and cute!  You can grab it in group notices when you join the free Pr!tty group.  It comes in a full fatpack of colours, so they’ve totally got you covered.

Nailed it!

To make sure you’re looking fab all over, Belle Epoque also have a new group gift of very pretty polished bento nails.  They have lots of different gradient colour options in the HUD and are rigged for Maitreya fingers.  There are some great deep Fall colours in there, so you’ll be ready for the season!  Grab them (and all the other awesome gifts) by joining the Belle Epoque group for just 10L.

See you beauties soon!

I Want Your Stupid Love

Happiness is looking cute in the sunshine.  I’m back in “end of Summer” mode today, with jean shorts, and cropped tops.  But I guess a little nod to the cooler temps are my awesome boots and a little jacket to keep away the nip in the air.  Hey, it will always be summer in my head!

The Alpha

This awesome top, jacket and jean short combo come from Alpha Female.  It’s their latest group gift (one of two cute free gifts you’ll find there) and I love every minute of it.  From the T-Shirt with “stupid love” emblazoned on it, to the ripped shorts, I am super happy with this look. There’s also a set of ankle boots in the box too (not pictured).  To get it, just join the Alpha Female group for free, and click on the vendor.  If you’re looking for male gifts, check the other side of the shop as well, because there are gifts in the Alpha Male section!

Toot it or Boot it

Ah, there’s nothing as empowering as a good set of boots.  I love a rugged look with a floral treatment.  You’ll find these bad boys over at LaPerla on their wall of gifts which is located up on the second floor.  No need to join a group, just pay the vendor 1L and you’re good to go.  There’s also a plain black version of the boot too in the box.  Oh, and there are lots of other great gift options to grab while you’re there!

For the Fabulous in a Fix

What does a girl do when she’s in a bit of a fix?  You know, the kind of fix that involves requiring a bit of retail therapy ASAP.  Well, that’s an easy answer.  First, get some comfy clothes on (that are also fashionable, of course) then head out the door, pocketbook in hand.  It’s that simple!  I’ve got step one covered for you today!

It’s All Covered

This cute top and matching overall-ish leggings are the latest group gift from BSassy.  They’ve got a massive wall of gifts there for members of their free to join group.  I really enjoy this latest look though!  It’s playful in all the right ways, and kind of makes me think of 80’s workout videos.  But not in a cheesy way.  Right?  Am I making sense?  Probably not.  Go grab it!

Fall Calls

Ok fine.  I’ll give in to the Autumn whispers.  It’s still *technically* Summer in my part of the world – at least for a few more weeks!  But the weather has gone decidedly crisp, and the leaves are starting to turn a bit golden around the edges.  I do love Fall.  I love how everything comes alive in colour, and how the light goes all golden.  So I’m not complaining, I’m just…a bit not ready to say goodbye to Summer entirely!  I’m sure you can’t fault me for that.

Just Imagine

The Imaginarium event has opened, and with it comes lots of free gifts!  When you join the Gimme Gacha group, you gain access to lots of lovely gift boxes at every stall of this fun event.  I always enjoy opening up boxes and seeing what’s inside!  Here’s what I found:

• FREE top by StarSugar sized for Maitreya (there’s also a pumpkin spice one in the box!)
• FREE Chair and Pumpkins by Atmos Design with several different poses

Head on over to The Imaginarium today!

Quiet as a…

When I was at Mouse the other day, I noticed that there are a pile of lucky boards you can play when you join their free group!  I got this cute grey jean miniskirt while I was there.  It looks absolutely perfect with my outfit, if I do say so myself!  There are lots of fun prizes in the boards, which will you win?
