When Life Gives You Lemons…

Hey FabFree! It’s been a minute, but I’m back now, taking in all the sun and enjoying the summer weather. I am embracing that saying fully here with “when life gives you lemons make lemonade”. Basically, lets spread the positivity and good warm summer vibes no matter what we are hit with! I am going to share some summer fun goodies today so let’s dig in! 

The Summer Carnival

The Summer Carnival event is a big hit this year. The Summer Carnival is filled with cotton candy and popcorn machines, awesome summer items and fun carnival games to play! They also have a couple freebies out, so there should be something for everyone. Some of the free items I am showing from the event today are:

• A free wall tapestry from Ari-Pari that says “Hello Summer”! It’s great, and so bright. 
• Louchara has this lovely garden shelf out for free at the event too. 

No group is required for these gifts, so just swing by Summer Carnival to grab them before the event ends on July 16th. 

Some Cute Sandals

Another freebie I have to show today are these adorable sandals by Hopes Creations. These are a free gift at SL18B. Go over to Hopes Creations booth to get them and they are yours, and they come in several patterns. 

55 Hairs!

The last announcement I want to make is about more gift hairs from Fabia. This hair designer has been so generous to us lately, and they are throwing more at us. They have no less than 55 hair fatpacks for free at their store right now for group members only. The Fabia group costs 200L to join. What a steal! These gifts will all be gone on July 1st, so scoop them up quickly before they are retired for good.

Enjoy the summer weather, FabFree!

Birthday Bash!

Yep, I’m jumping on the FabFree wagon of wishing Second Life a happy birthday! Happy Birthday SL! 18 years is a LONG time in virtual years! Whoopiee!! *hangs birthday banners and throws confetti at all of you*🎉 

As Aline and Arielle already showed us here, here, and here, there are lots of free items at SL18B to celebrate SL’s 18th Birthday. I am still getting through the event bit by bit! I will share some of the awesome gifts, deals, and gift cards I found so far!

Goodies at SL18B!

• Monomania has a 500L gift card out at the event for their group members at their booth on the Jubilant sim. I had to have the Surrender Yourself set, which includes the coat, top, skirt and boots I am wearing. The colours of each piece in the set can be changed to a number of colours. It is the exclusive for the event and it is purchasable with the gift card, and will leave you with 300L left to spend. To get the gift card, you need to join the Monomania group, which costs only 50 Linden. Monomania also has a free outfit at SL18B. Now is a good time to get into their group, because in addition to all these amazing goodies they are offering at Jubilant, they also have many group gifts at their mainstore.
• The cute little books and plant are a free gift from Korpokkur House at SL18B. This gift is so cute, and it matches my new painting perfectly! There are so many gifts at the event, so I am just showing you a glimpse of the awesomeness that awaits at SL18B!

Streamers!

I needed to pick up some streamers for the birthday festivities and a gacha by Ari-Pari at the Summer Carnival did just the trick! These banners are great for any parties, indoor or outdoor, to celebrate all the awesome events going on this month! They only cost 25L per pull and they include lights too. So cute!

Wear Who You Are

Another must-have gift I wanted to share today is the new Pride Hair Color Universal Hud from EscalateD. It is free for all either at the .EscalateD. mainstore or on the Marketplace. I’ve talked about .EscalateD. hairs before, and the way they work is that the hair colour huds can be used on all EscalateD hairs currently for sale- they are universal. This colour hud is filled with pride flag colour combinations so you can pick which sexual orientation you identify with to match your look. I love it- what a great way to show your pride and personality through your hair. Even if you don’t identify with any of these sexual identities, there are still a lot of pretty and colourful hair combinations you can create with this colour hud so it’s just fabulous all around. 

Enjoy the celebrations, FabFree!

Learning to Sail

Hey, FabFree. Have you ever gone sailing in SL? I can tell you that it’s really fun! I used to go out with my friends on the water all the time. It’s so relaxing going out on the water at Black Sea and just sailing all your troubles away. I recently decided that I’m going to learn to sail myself, so I headed over to Tradewinds Yachtclub to pick up some free boats and resources to start my new learning journey! Before I get to the free boats, though, I have some awesome free makeup and 1L hair lights to share with you that I wore on my visit to the yacht club!

Kawaii Cute

The adorable pink blush I am wearing is a free group gift at Pout!. It’s called the “Cutie patootie Kawaii hearts & blush set” which is a really cute name too! This is a bit of an older gift from earlier this year, but it hasn’t been shown on the blog yet so I’m happy to share it. There are several different patterns of blush, including heart shapes, included in the set of blushes. The Pout! group is free to join and many past gifts are still out. 

The blush comes in the following appliers and fits. 

Appliers Included

• • BOM
  • Catwa
  • Genus
  • Lelutka Origin (this applier will also work on Lelutka Evolution if you wear the Lelutka Evo HUD)

Hair lights!

The second deal I have to share today are the cute bright lights in my hair. These only cost 1 L at Magika! You will need the free Magika group tag to get these hair lights for only 1L. They’re a bit of a hidden gem, and you can find them right next to the Nova hair on sale at the store. These hair lights are meant to be worn with the Nova hair, but I’m sure they could work with other hairs in your inventory too! You can wear the lights as white like I have here or as red and green which would be great for future Christmases!

A whole load of free sail boats

Now back to the topics of my visit to the Yacht cub and sailing, I should also mention that Tradewinds Yachtclub has a whole whack of free sailboats out around the sim! I grabbed them all. As I really want to learn how to sail, this seems like the perfect spot to grab those free boats! I’ve been told the freebie boats on this sim are great to learn from.

Enjoy sailing, FabFree!

Daisy Fields

Hey FabFree! I hope you’re having a wonderful start of the week. I am enjoying the blossoming spring (almost summer) weather in the daisy fields and just chilling. It’s a good day! Today I have a gorgeous free skin to show you and another group gift at Scandalize.

Holly

This skin is absolutely beautiful, and it’s completely free. This gift is compliments to amara beauty. This designer makes gorgeous skins! This is the Holly skin, and it’s designed for Lelutka Evo heads using BOM. I am wearing the skin on the Lilly Lelutka Evo head that was gifted to us last Christmas, so if you have this head this might be the perfect skin for you! This skin will also look lovely on any other Lelutka Evo head.

Sizes Included

• BOM, designed for Lelutka Evolution Heads only

amara beauty also has other body skins- body appliers and BOM layers for Legacy, Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink bodies- out for free in the upper level of the store, so check those out while you stop by too.

Flarya

The beautiful top and shorts set I have on is yet another group gift at Scandalize. You can find this gift at the same location as the new Scandalize outlet that Aline blogged about the other day. For this gift, you need to be a member of the Scandalize group. In addition to that huge room of free gifts Aline shared with us last week, Scandalize has set out some extra gifts at this sim which you can only get at this location. Just go into the “group gifts” room on the outlet sim. The Scandalize group costs 20 Linden to join, and it is well worth the fee because you get access to lots of fatpacks, gifts and lucky letters! The Flarya set is a full fatpack and comes with options to change the colour of the top, shorts, the frills, strings and metals of each piece. There are also a number of stripes patterns that come with the set. It’s a keeper!

Sizes Included

• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Freya
• Isis
• Hourglass

See you soon, FabFree!

Hey there Fabulouses and happy Friday!  Blueberry is participating in Fifty Linden Friday this week and they are offering some really sweet basics for that upcoming warm weather that I really hope is arriving soon.

50/50

This week you can grab the FLF 3/13 shorts including a 10 pack of colour options (wild on the butt, some basic denims and ombres too) for 50L and the FLF 3/13 Tops with 15 sweet prints to choose from for 50L!  The tops also come with a less modest underboob version, but I  guess I was feeling shy today ;).

Okay FabFree, this is going to be a quick one! Because you only have from now until Febuary 2to take advantage of this very special deal.

Short Time Shot

I was just making the rounds when I happened to pop into Kaithleen’s and I noticed a new Group Gift. I had resisted joining the group before because it costs 50L. BUT it’s FREE to join now!  Well, now until Febuary 2nd that is! There are a ton of past group gifts available and two Group only Lucky boards so that 50L bought a lot as it was. So how could I resist now that it’s free? I didn’t!

So hurry down and join the Kaithleen’s Group! Pick up some great gifts and try your luck at the Lucky Boards!

Oops…

I almost forgot to tell you about the luscious bodysuit I picked up at Kaithleen’s. This is the “Kinetic Bodysuit” and you can grab it for free when you join the group. The bodysuit comes in three pastel colors: cream, Bubblegum and Plum.

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus

Lady’s Choice

Good morning FabFree! The designers at this round of The Shop & Hop Event have been SUPER generous with gifts and some with instore credit too.  Vision is another shop I wanted to mention here on FabFree,  because they have both waiting for you on the Gleaming Sim!

300L Instore Credit & A Gift from Vision

Until January 6th at the Shop & Hop Vision display, you’ll find a free gift shown below in the vendor ad, but also you can purchase a 300L instore credit for 1L which can be used at the event or at the Vision mainstore on anything you like until January 13th.  Maybe you’ll pick up one of their newer releases at the mainstore like this beautiful Nightshine Dress.  It was just 299L per colour pack which was under the 300L credit amount by just a hair!

Because Sleeves

No matter how old I get, I can’t imagine not loving slightly too long sleeves on my sweatshirts. Maybe it’s some kind of nostalgia, or just that it makes them feel extra cozy. This sweet extra long-sleeved cropped sweater is the November 2019 group gift at Luas. It comes in a hand-full of sizes and has a texture/change hud with 6 graphic options for the main shirt, and 6 solid colors for the undershirt. Most of the graphic choices are holiday themed, however there is the cute kitty face shown and an equally cute lucky cat option. The Luas group has a one time join fee of 50 linden, and there are past group gifts available.

Sizes Included: Belleza (Isis, Freya), Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, Legacy

Just for November

Hello there Fab Free! Thanks for being here. I’m excited to share some awesome news with you about Carol G Tattoos, along with one of their recent Midnight Madness tattoos. Equally exciting is the fatpack group gift outfit that Masoom has out for their November group gift. Keep reading for all the details.

Carol G

From now until November 30th the in-world group for Carol G Tattoos is free to join. There are 8 women’s tattoo gifts, and 8 men’s tattoo gifts currently available for Carol G group members. I’d say a lot of these tattoos are really unisex. Additionally there are Midnight Madness boards with male and female prizes. The boards change regularly as well. The tattoo I’m wearing is one of the current Midnight Madness board prize at Carol G. It comes in several appliers with multiple opacity options and classic system layers. Do not miss out on this fantastic opportunity to join the Carol G group for free and take advantage of all the free gifts.

Appliers Included: Omega, Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy *Classic System Layers also Included 

Masoom

The November group gift at Masoom is out and it’s a full fatpack of this cute and sexy pants outfit. My first thought was that this outfit is a little bit business casual and a little bit lingerie, which made me smile. It comes in several sizes and has a color change hud for the top, the trim on the top, the pants, and the ribbon belt. The top also has the option of being lace or solid color. The Masoom group is 100L to join, and there are multiple group gifts available.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Slink Hourglass, Legacy
