A Backyard Office

Good evening, FabFree. I hope you are all having a pleasant night. I am just sitting under the lights in my backyard enjoying the spring break. Now that I am working from home again, it’s nice that the spring weather is here so I can work away outside in my backyard. This is a nice change of scenery from my stuffy office and I can finally get some fresh air after a long, grueling winter!

Petit Chat’s FREE Retiring Sale!

Petit Chat has a retiring sale on the Marketplace. For the sale, you can find a lot of items for free including shoes, hats and bags. These gorgeous beaded sandals are a free fatpack for the sale on the Marketplace. The cute little bracelet white I am wearing is another free gift on the sale, where you can buy here. 

I am not sure how long this free sale is going on for. From what I understand, this is a temporary sale because Petit Chat will be retiring these items for good. It’s always so sad when this happens, but also so kind of creators when they make their items available for such a low price! Go show Petit Chat some love by visiting their Marketplace store.

An Adorable Spring Set

I am sharing another free gift on the Evil Bunny Hunt 11 today. This adorable top and shorts set is the 1 L hunt prize from Ari-Pari. It has a lovely William Morris-esque floral pattern on the shorts and the set include 10 top and short colour options that can be changed via a hud. This is one of the “nice” bunny prizes on the hunt, and the hint to find the item is: “Shhh… there’s a kitteh sleeping nearby!”

Love, love, love. Love is all you need

Learn how to be you in time

It’s easy… so they say. However, there are times where self-doubt comes flooding in and nothing seems to go perfectly. On these days I throw the planner out the window and give the good ole “NYC Salute” to those feelings. Today is 100% a long soak in a hot tub, some wine, and loads of bubbles to pop to help alleviate my sorrow.

It’s not always easy to escape yourself and go back to being the bubble-tastic superwoman you were before. However, keeping yourself happy is one daily goal everyone should take, by taking at least 5 minutes a day to do something that makes YOU happy will shed a tiny light on every dark day.

What’s one thing you do for yourself every day?

FOXCITY was amazing for putting this item out for their August Group Gift, I would have been unable to showcase it if it was kept original. Now that I’ve shown you, you can alter the image on the wall… I wonder what love you will spread. This bento pose comes with a brush, paint can, and an image of a cuss that my momma said isn’t appropriate for the group, but its pretty epic. 😉 The price of the group is a little heavy (650L) but there are so many past gifts available for you to pick up it makes up for the cost 20 times over.

Candy Kitten has a cute outfit up at their shop for free, no group needed! Pop over and snag it because it is unclear on when this free gift will be gone! I didn’t wear all of the items inside the gift because I didn’t want to take away from the simplicity of this photo. However, the complete outfit is just as cute as a button and isn’t one you should ever miss out on! Hurry and get this generous free gift before it’s too late!

Cyberpunk’d

Ever have that feeling where you’re not sure if you’re awake or dreaming?
-Neo, The Matrix

Hey Fab Free! Stuck at home and need something to do this weekend? The Twisted Cyberpunk hunt will keep you busy and I am showing off more prizes from the hunt. If you are a fan of all things sci-fi, this is the hunt for you!

Twisted

The Twisted hunt has a reputation of being the hardest hunt on the grid, and I would have to agree with that stereotype. Twisted virgin hunters beware! For a list of the locations and side hunts please visited the Twisted Merchant List. The hunt itself is running until Tuesday the 31st so you have all weekend to find the main hunt prizes and conquer those side hunts. The legendary “End Game” (a hunt to do after you reach the last stop) will be open until April 8th! There are 18 prizes to collect at End Game. If you need some help make sure you join the Twisted hunt group, which you can join by copying this join code into your SL chat: secondlife:///app/group/73770da7-7d71-a54e-6e86-60a3e9281e07/about

As always, all of the twisted hunt prizes, side hunts and end game prizes are free (0 L). 

The Goods

I am showing off some of my favourite prizes that I’ve hunted so far. The outfit I am wearing- including the boots, top, skirt, and sleeves- are all prizes in the side hunt at QE Designs. Click the Twisted easels at each location for instructions on how to do the side hunts at each store!

I am also wearing this amazing collar from Neverwish. I just love it and it glows in the dark! This is their main hunt prize, but there are 6 additional collars to collect in total at Neverwish‘s side hunt in a variety of different colours. My hand cuffs also glow in the dark and are animated. These are one of the prizes at the first location of the hunt, Secrets of Gaia. 

On top of this free group gift skin from Ritual, Lyari, I am wearing the Binary Matrix Tattoo in Turquoise from Fallen Gods, another Twisted prize. It looks like a barcode and if very sci-fi-esque!

Have fun this weekend doing the Cyberpunk Twisted hunt! Make sure you check out these past posts from Juli and Pru who blogged other prizes from the hunt too!

Happy Hunting,

xx

Feelin’ the Good Vibes

Hey, Fab Free!

Today I am showcasing two fabulous gifts you can get as group gifts for free through the Fabulously Free in SL group.

A Cozy Lounge Set

I added the cute lounge sofa and wall art “Good Vibes” by Partners in Crime in my living room. It is really cute and matched my light blue wall colour perfectly! I also love the print it comes with- it adds some good vibes to my house, which is my happy place here in SL.

Vintage Vibes

I decided to lounge around in this comfy outfit made by Sweet Willows, called Vintage set. The set includes an HUD with four colour options: green, yellow, and a red-purple. It has a bit of a boho and vintage feel to it at the same time, plus I love the botanical pattern of it.

Sizes Included

Belleza: Freya, Isis
Maitreya
Legacy
Slink: Physique, Hourglass

Feelin’ Flippin’ Fin-tastic

Hey FabFree!

I know the hype lately is Shark Week, because well sharks are awesome! Stay tuned for those of you who like sharks, hunts and FREEBIES, I have just the post for you. The Women’s Only Hunt has not officially started, but some creators have hid their coconuts around their main stores and of course, FabFree has to be on top of that! You can see the previous coverage by Love Trill [here].

Well, Vanilla Bae has a super freaking adorable top and shorts set with sharks on it. You just have to find the coconut icon hidden in the main store. If you aren’t familiar with Vanilla Bae and their products… giggles… you’re in for a naughty treat. This outfit comes equipped with a “strip-able” function, via a click-able menu. The outfit can be set to a “master” i.e your partner, so it can be kept private or it can be left public. The menu is accessible, by a simple click, each piece of clothing has their own menu with 4 different ways to strip. If someone does stumble across you and clicks your clothing, don’t fret, they still have to receive permission from you to access the menu! Becky is available in two colors white with sharks or a teal/sea green with sharks, it can be worn out and about in world, or for maybe some sexy little PJs.

The Women’s Only Hunt does not officially begin until August 4th, but don’t let that stop you for looking for some coconuts! These free beauties are sure worth the hunt, there is no group to join, just simply click the coconut once located and a folder will be delivered, with your prize! Just be sure to hit accept when prompted!

Your Own Underdark!

Your own Underdark…

It’s not often you get the chance to own your own Underdark, especially for the price of just 1L. Zyn is offering their Mini Underdark Skybox on the Marketplace for just that! 1L and it’s yours. It’s only 47 prim and it’s rather detailed, with multiple cavern rooms, a water pool, stalagmites and stalactites, mushrooms, lanterns, and more. The picture above is taken in part of one of the detailed caverns!

Ahhhh roleplay…

Roleplay is one of those fantastic past-times in Second Life and it’s always fabulous when you can come across some great gifts to add to your wardrobe. I stopped by the Menstuff lounge and there is a large assortment of menswear currently out that you can pick up for your one-time fee of 50L to the Menstuff group. Among the items was this “Morris” outfit. It’s really just a regular every day outfit, but since it doesn’t have any zippers and with the right accessories, I managed to turn it into a medieval one! It comes in a variety of mesh body sizes.

Outfit sizes available:

• Classic XS-XL + alpha
• Belleza
• Gianni
• Slink
• TMP
• Aesthetic

The details make the man

It’s the details that make this outfit work as a roleplay outfit. I stopped by Noble Creations and picked up some “details” to make this into a roleplay creation. The Noble Creations group is free to join and these gifts were free to pick up. I picked up the Prince in Leather neck piece to add over the top of the Morris shirt. I also picked up the Medici Pouch belt to add to my waist. Take note… this belt fit a little funny at first. I had to edit it to my shape, but it comes with a handy resizer that allows for resizing on all axises separately for a perfect fit!

The L’Homme Gift.

I think the L’Homme group gift from Noble Creations really makes this outfit. It’s a set of horned Bracers and Pauldrons that really stand out. You could add some weapons to this outfit to complete your look. Perhaps a shield and an axe or a sword and you’d be ready to go warrior! As always, the L’Homme group is free to join so this gift is free as well!

Happy roleplaying!

What’s in a cemetery?

“What could you possibly hope to find in a cemetery?” The women said. “The dead tell no secrets and the living seldom come to visit them.”
― Felix Alexander, The Last Valentine

Many of my characters have roleplayed in cemeteries for various reasons. There is mystery and intrigue there. There is always a story to be had in a cemetery! Or someone’s story at least. When I put this roleplay outfit together for you, I immediately though… cemetery! And went to take a picture. But enough of the roleplay memories and onto the gifts!

Stop by for a treat!

Bluemoon Enterprise has out a great free roleplay outfit for February. Be sure to pick it up before the month is out. You’ll need the free to join Bluemoon group tag to pick it up. This Celtic Breeze outfit includes the pants, a skirt, the bracers, the top and the hood. The hood has a feature that allows you to wear it either up or down (I choose to wear the hood down) and the outfit comes in a single fitmesh size that I had no trouble making fit my Maitreya body.

Bluemoon Enterprise is housed inside of The White Armory. When you arrive at the entrance, go inside and then head to the Bluemoon store inside the large main-store building of The White Armory. You’ll find the Celtic Breeze gift inside of the smaller Bluemoon Building.

Another YM Gift

I showed you a group gift from the YM Shop in my post [Here] but there were so many on the wall that I picked up more than one. Among the free gifts I picked up with my free group join were the Beka boots. I discovered that these boots, although certainly suitable for modern wear, had a definite roleplay feel, and paired with my roleplay outfit from Bluemoon just perfectly.

• These boots include a color change hud to change 4 different parts of the boots with 46 color options for each as well as 4 metal options for the rivets.
• Sizes include: Slink Physique, Slink Hourglass, Mesh XXS – L

I hope you enjoy these gifts and happy roleplaying!

Gun-Slinger

Annie Oakley

This isn’t the wild west but this outfit made me think of Annie Oakley who sort of paved the way for women to gain prowess with their own shooting skills. One of her more popular quotes (according to google) is: “There are always women who will take men on their own terms. If I were a man I wouldn’t bother to change while there are women like that around.” I had to stop and wonder a moment if she meant that they shouldn’t bother to change clothes… but maybe that is just me being silly 😛

Where to get the Digs

At any rate, you will find this great all-in-one outfit at SA Quartermaster, gun included, for many different mesh bodies. It comes in all one piece so nothing is detachable, and it does not include the boots. You do get a color change hud with four different colors of red, including a camouflage red color. This gift is completely free as part of the Cupid’s Conspiracy Hunt going on right now.

Mesh Size Compatibility:

• Classic Mesh XS – L
• TMP
• Maitreya
• Tonic – Fine & Curvy
• Slink – Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

New Year New Everything

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! It’s a new year, so why not make everything new?!  Recently I posted about new skins and even some lingerie. Today I’m having fun with some furry new friends, a cute new outfit, and a brand new space to call home. Keep reading to find out the how and where you can get each of these FREE or inexpensive items. First, let’s talk about these adorable fur babies!

Puppies!

The adorable little guy on the cushion is not only as cute as he can be, he’s also completely FREE. You can pick this little guy up at Japonica, he is a FREE gift from TLC Animated Animals. Part of what makes him (or her!) so adorable is that he is animated. This little puppy wags his tail and moves his head. There are also little particle feathers that come up out of the cushion where the little rascal tore it. To take him home all you need to do is purchase the box for zero linden from the TLC shop at Japonica.

The second equally adorable puppy in my arms is also at Japonica. There several variations of this furry friend by Who What, each wearing a pretty little kimono. These pups are a gacha item, the one I have is called “Friday” and is one of the common gacha prizes from the Who What gacha at Japonica. This sweet puppy has the hold animation shown (the ground sit is part of Pru’s AO) as well as a typing animation. When you type in local chat the pose will change so that you are holding your puppy and vertically instead of horizontally and cute hearts and butterfly particles are emitted. To get your sweet kimono wearing pup just play the Who What gacha for 48 linden per play.

MOoH!

If you haven’t checked out the more recent Fab Free group gift listing, you should. This sweater and leggings combo is the current Fabulously Free in SL group gift from MOoh. It’s the kind of outfit that can be perfect for a lazy casual day or be dressed up for a comfortable yet put together look. The outfit comes in several mesh sizes and includes a color change hud that lets you choose the color of the sweater. The Fab Free group is always FREE to join, if you’re not already a member.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kraftwork

Did you happen to notice the gorgeous textures in the room Pru’s sitting in? This photo is a narrow view of the studio apartment style skybox group gift at Kraftwork. This one room skybox is beautifully textured and comes in a “daylight” and a “moonlight” version. The shades and hues are slightly different depending on which version you use. I chose the daylight version, and the appearance of light through the windows is from the windlight settings I used. I love the added illusion of an exterior treeline through the windows. To get your copy of these pretty little skyboxes just join the Kraftwork group and click the group gift vendor near the landing point. The Kraftwork group is just 25 linden to join.
