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 can’t believe that another year has gone by. And covid is still as prevalent as it was when it started. Ugh. I hope 2022 will be the year we all say enough already and do whatever has to be done to take our lives back from this virus!
I know things will never be the same as they were pre-covid, but maybe it has brought some positive into our lives too. Like appreciating day to day things we took for granted, friends, family, hugs, shopping! Even appreciating just getting up in the morning and feeling *good*. Perhaps it came to teach us to shift our perspective and be grateful for all the little wonderful things, as simple as waking up to a new day (some people don’t, and one day, you won’t either).
It makes me think of one of my favorite movies Dead Poets Society. Mr. Keating (Robin Williams) tells his class to seize the day, make your life extraordinary while you can. The powerful play goes on and YOU get to contribute a verse. What will your verse be? Let 2022 be the year we all live in state of gratitude, seizing the day with those we love and contributing our powerful verse. What legacy do you hope your life will create?
Where was I?
I got a bit sidetracked there. The turning of a new year always makes my thoughts get deeper than they normally are (and that’s saying something!!!).
I’m getting ready for the new year and I’m doing it in style! This sexy little number is the latest free group gift from Pink Cream Pie. It has several colors to choose from and also a sheer option. The group is 314 to join and there is an entire wall of group gifts for your shopping pleasure. This one fits:
Legacy
Maitreya & Petite
Reborn
My hair, which you have seen all over the Fab Free Blog by now, thanks to Aline & Jacx. Now you get to see it in my signature blonde, this is of course the new free group gift from Truth. Their VIP group is 350L to join and the hair is in the recent notices.
A New Year Right Around the Corner
I’ve also got some fun New Year’s Deco for you. My 2022 numbers are the final Advent Day from Simply Shelby. In fact the final advent day gives you an entire New Year’s Eve Prep Kit that I think is pretty darn nifty! Even though the advent is past, you can still grab them all for only 10L. As of this posting they are all still available.
I also headed over to the Okinawa Holiday Event where they are lots of free gifts to grab, with no group needed. I found this adorable hair flower Free by Ayame and I absolutely love having my own New Year’s Ball which is 75L at Ever Green. Really it is made that you wear it and you can walk around on it, which is lots of fun, but for the photo I needed to stand still, so. But I love it for decor, it turns and it changes all sorts of beautiful iridescent-y colors! Really gorgeous!
Have a Hap-Hap-Happy New Year! (Rudolph’s Shiny New Year Song)

I have two more gifts from the New Year, New You! Hunt. The first one is the Home For The Holidays Outfit from Lyrieals. The sweater and jeans combo also includes boots.
The hunt gift from De La SOUL is the Swagger Pants & Pushed Up Shirt. This unisex outfit has a fireworks theme and does include pant cuffs.
Here are three great looks from the New Year, New You! Hunt to spruce up your closet . Follow the male path of the hunt to find some great gifts. Bound & Bitten is where you find the Crimson Leather Goth Casual Suit to bring out the bad boy in you.
CAMILLA’S hunt prize is the Henry Outfit. This good boy look even includes shoes.
And if you want to look dramatic, find the hunt gift at Avatar Bizarre. The Blue/Gold Baudwin Suit will catch everyone’s eye with the gold jacket and knee-high boots.
Want a new you or just a new wardrobe for the new year? Follow the male path on the New Year, New You! Hunt and Sales Event. You can find some great hunt items like the NYNY Outfit from LashWare or shop the specials board at each hunt location for some low-priced items like LashWare’sRed Leather Race Outfit for just $15L.
The hunt starts at Eclectic Firefly, where the hunt gift is a fatpack of Star Tees. As I said before, this hunt has both male and female paths, so no wading through the girly stuff to find some great gifts. And make sure you check the NYNY! specials boards and support the designers that make these hunts possible.
The Standard Calendar behind me is a free gift from Time Zone. Just don’t try to enlarge it like I did…. oops!
