How to Keep Cool

Time for bright, cheerful and extremely sugary vibes!  It’s supposed to be super super hot here tomorrow – something like 40 degrees C, so I’m pre-empting the heatwave with some sweet shaved ice before I wilt entirely.  I’m sure it won’t work, but at least I feel like I’m doing something about it!

Rawr!

The latest group gift at Belle Epoque has just made it’s appearance, and it’s put me in an excellent mood.  It comes in two parts, so they can be worn separately and mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe.  Some of the other textures in the HUD are just absolutely adorable too, like foxes, watermelons and floral patterns – a must have.  To get yours, join the Belle Epoque group for 10L, then click on the vendor – pick up the other awesome group gifts while you’re there too, they’re ah-mah-zing!

Make it Every Day

I’m about to go on a rant about how Valentine’s Day is every day.  Sure, it’s trite, people who avoid the holiday say those very words all the time to justify not buying into the commercial aspect of it all, but it is rather true.  It’s all about making time for that special someone!  You can cover that someone with kisses, Valentine’s Day or not!

One Hand in my Pocket

HolliPocket are having a bit of a clear-out sale right now – all their items are currently 40% off, and some of their older clothes are heading off to the retirement pile.  Along with all that goodness, there are two new group gifts:  this slinky little bralette top in two different versions  (one is a bit more transparent) in six different colours, and the kisses tattoo that meanders down my chest and back (with Omega and Maitreya appliers, as well as BOM system layers).  The even better news is that the group is temporarily free to join until March 12th.  Don’t wait!

Cacophony

It was a quiet Sunday morning.  All was peaceful, and a thin mist was hanging in the sunny hollows.  The birds were just beginning to wake, and a calm lay over the land….when suddenly the roofers appeared across the way and started making a godawful racket.  Their hammers rained blows upon the roof they were perched upon, and horror of horrors: they woke me up.  How could they possibly destroy the peace and tranquility I had so clearly earned?  Travesty, I say!

Back to Kustom9

The only way to get out of the funk caused by the uncaring roofers was clearly to get into some shopping therapy.  The best way to do that is always to shop but not spend any Lindens (and also listen to loud music and eat a cake pop…)!  I headed back to Kustom9, where they’re still celebrating their anniversary, and picked up a few of the gifts I missed out on on my first whirlwind visit.  It’s much quieter now, so you’ll actually be able to walk through at a semi-leisurely pace.  As mentioned before, the gifts from Kustom9 are all free to members of the free-to-join Kustom9 group!  Here’s what I’ve got on:

• FREE top by Luas sized for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite and Legacy Perky.  Comes with an HUD to change to 8 different colours and five different images on the front!
• FREE skirt by M.Birdie sized for Maitreya

Kustom9 is running until November 10th!

Intrepid Explorer

This is the perfect time to go for a hike and find some hidden places in SL.  You never know when you’ll find your new favourite hangout.  I found a gorgeous waterfall over at the It all Starts With a Smile sim, and I feel like exploring it is my new calling!

Dress it Up

As is my wont, I am doing my exploring in an outfit that I probably wouldn’t wear to explore RL locations.  The shortest skirts don’t always tend to be the best outside gear in the real world, but I’m so glad this new group gift from Luas won’t ride up!  To get this super cute look with a deeper message, just join the Luas group for 50L and then click on the vendor on their group gift wall.  The wall is pretty full of super adorable gifts, so totally worth the group join.

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Perky

But the Shoes Work!

For once I managed to get some sensible shoes for exploring, though, and they come courtesy of Equal!  I love the rainbows, as you all know, and you can get them for free by joining their free group.  How awesome are they?  They come with both male and female versions, and come sized for…

Renewal

There’s nothing quite as lovely as a field in Spring.  The magic of new beginnings and fresh air are just what the doctor ordered.  I’m soaking all the magic in over at Luane’s World, where you can freely bask in the glory of the renewal that Spring brings.

Bunny Hop

Since Easter is on the way, the Bunny Hop Hunt has got you covered for all sorts of fun.  With all the time we’ve got on our hands, the Bunny Hop Hunt will keep you happy for hours.  I searched high and low on the sim for all the eggs from QE Designs, and I’m happy to say I found them all!  At just 25L each, the goodies contained within sure are a bargain.  Not gonna lie though, this isn’t an easy hunt to do, my eyes were begging for relief after camming around for ages.  But, if you’re up for a challenge and you want to find some really cute stuff, then this is the hunt for you!  I got my top, skirt and boots there and I love the way the outfit looks, no matter how my eyes are feeling after all the searching!

A Bit of Fun

Hey Fab Free!  I’m taking some time for some good old fashioned fun today, because why not!  A girl deserves some fun now and then, right?

K9

So my favourite event on the grid is for sure Kustom 9.  There’s always something fun that I can’t resist there, especially some great gachas.  This month, I found a super awesome one from M.Birdie that I just had to try my luck at.  In just a few pulls I got my top, jeans and shoes (sized for Maitreya), and stuck them all together to make a fun look.  At only 75L a pull, that’s a pretty sweet deal!  (And if you haven’t yet, grab the gifts that we told you about earlier this month by joining their free group!)

Helloooo, Kitty!

I’m sure you’ve heard about the huge Hello Kitty 45th anniversary that’s taking place in SL right now, so I won’t natter on about all the details!  Suffice it to say there are a few prizes to be won, and if you don’t fancy playing games for them, then by all means head over there to collect this fun balloon made by Astralia.  It’s completely free and is lots of fun to carry around with you.

To the Moon

And last, but definitely not least, I’ve got some Moon news for you!  They have updated their midnight mania boards with all sorts of hair goodies.  I got this pretty style by joining the group for 99L then slapping the board.  Only 250 people are needed to reach the goal, and the hair style changes daily, so you never know what you’re going to get!  Head over to Moon and get slapping!

Lots of love,

All the Feels

You know that whole “love at first sight” thing?  Well I’m serving straight up falling in love in high school when you see the new guy walk by for the first time right now.  I’ve got all sorts of hotness going on, and I think I may be inching toward some Valentine’s day feels right now!  Come get it!

Toxic Bish in Love

In my meanderings I found my way to Toxic Bish where I stalked the lucky boards for a while.  If you join their free group you will find loads of rotating prizes in the lucky boards, and I’m sure something there will strike your fancy.  I got the top I’m wearing from one of the boards, and the skirt is actually a group gift that I picked up from the sizable wall of free gifts that are waiting for you there!  Cute right?  You totally need to visit!

Sizes

• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Slink
• Belleza
• XS – XL with an Alpha Layer

Heart Eyes for You

Since I’m obviously in luuuuurve, I’ve got all these swirling hearts of sweetness floating about my head.  They swirl and flash happily, denoting the fact that I’m totally twitter-pated.  I got this fun accessory over at SaNaRae as a free gift by Spartin Parx, no group join required!

Can YOU feel the love tonight?

You’ve Got a Friend in Me

Happy Sunday, Fabulouses!  Ripley and I spent a lovely afternoon on the NorderNey sim, and even made a few new friends along the way.  They graciously agreed to pose for my picture with me.  Aren’t they just adorable?

Say Yes to the Dress

My gorgeous, antique white frock is a free gift from Lomomo.   With plenty of ruffles and a bow, this dress features frothy lace over a solid sheath underneath.  A belted high waistline draws the eye upward, while the skirt cascades down in a beautifully textured layer.  I love the way the over skirt forms the shape of an inverted “V” trimmed with ribbon.  Best of all, the Lomomo group is completely free to join, so this charming dress won’t cost you a single Linden dollar!

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Maitreya
• Slink Physique

Here’s another view so you can get a glimpse of the front side of my new lace dress:

Treat yourself

I am totally giddy over all the FREE gifts at Shiny Shabby!

Also this table full of ice cream, it may still be winter outside but ice cream is a sweet treat anytime.

Its Shiny Shabby’s 1st anniversary and also every shop is giving a FREE gift no group to join. Love has already shown a few of them and we both still have more coming. The gifts are all top notch from clothes, accessories and home items. Treat yourself and head over for some gifts, you have til March 10th.

My whole outfit today is FREE from Shiny Shabby. My cute mesh 1 piece top and skirt is from M.Birdy. I love the layered look of it and the mention of ice cream sent me running to get some. The fact its all 1 piece makes it an easy to grab and go full outfit gotta love that. My sweet Sarah Janes are from fri.friday. The are for Slink and Maitreya feet. Also included are a pair of socks I am not showing. These only work on Slink mesh bodies vs just the feet as there is no alpha and Maitreya. Last but not least is my wind blown hair from DUE. It includes a nice brown hair color hud. I do want to mention make a copy of this hair before you use the color hud. Here is why the hair when you 1st put it on is a lovely blonde shade but this shade isn’t on the hud so if you change it is gone and you can’t get it back. But if you make a copy you get to keep the blonde shade yay!

I was so eager to eat this ice cream before it melts I almost forgot my pose today is also a FREE gift from Shiny Shabby. An Lar is giving this cute set of 2 poses plus the mirror versions as their gift.
