Another Gift Head from Akeruka!

I have another full bento head gift to share with you, Fab Free. This is the new Advanced head from Akeruka and it is a limited-time gift. I will also be showing you how to get the free stay at home necklace gift I am currently wearing, and some poses available as a gift for members of the Lybra VIP group!

Stay at Home Gift Head

Akeruka is known for giving out free mesh heads and their new 1L gift is gorgeous. It is an “Advanced” BOM head. Simply join the Akeruka group for 150 Linden to get this gift. The head then will cost you 1 L. The total cost: 151 L for a bento mesh head that normally costs 5, 000 L. What a steal! This new model of the Advanced Akeruka Head has new features such as full BOM, and in includes detailed options of adding pores, oily skin, or wrinkles to your skin. It also has a “wet” feature to make it look like you have water droplets on your face, to make it look as if you are in the rain or just came out of the shower. These are just some of the cool advanced options with their new head! This offer is only available for a limited time, so go grab it while you still can.

Hopeful

I know it is a sad time in our world right now, but let’s try to be hopeful and pray for a better future during these difficult times.  This beautiful necklace by Secrets says “Hope” on it and that’s a great message for them to send out right now. This is a free Stay at Home Club gift.

300 Lybra Poses

If you happen to be a Lybra VIP, you can get a new set of 300 poses as a group gift. I used one of the poses in the pack to create this shot. This is a very generous gift. The Lybra VIP group costs 500 L to join.

Thank you for reading, Fab Free!

First off, I wanted to let you all know about the gorgeous and cute Tia Skirt from Mooh! It is a current freebie for all. To get it simply walk over to the 50% off sales section at Mooh!, and left click the little skirt vendor next to the Haley top sale item. Left click the vendor and pay it 1 L and it will refund you back or click the menu and then “deliver”. It should send for free, no group needed to get this gorgeous skirt. It comes with a colour change HUD. I decided to buy the Haley top too which is the matching top to Tia, which is currently 50% off.

Kate Pose Set

I have yet another freebie to share from the Pose Fair’s 10th Anniversary Round. I am using a pose from the Kate set from Indigo, and the poses are great for relaxed standing poses for photos. You can get it at the pose fair by joining their free group and heading over to Indigo’s vendor for the duration of the event.

Lashes!

Although you can’t see them really clearly here, I am wearing the 1 L “Delicate Eyelashes” applier from POUT!, which is a new dollarbie on their marketplace store. These are gorgeous and several styles of lashes are included! Get this one in your shopping cart- it’s a steal!

The Coconuts, Are THIS Big!

Happy Friday Fabulous Readers!

Today, I decided to grab a few more Women’s Only Hunt prizes, and they do not disappoint! All of the gifts I have found so far in this hunt are absolutely free and disguised as a coconut. The hunt doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow, August 4th, but why not get started a little early?

Black Swan has a little lingerie dress hidden strategically in the main store location. If you love lace and silk, this freebie is right up your alley! The berry tint used on the body of the dress, really helps draw out the detail in the lace on the top and at the bottom of the dress. If you want to meet your significant other at the door with something sexy on to get the night started, this should do the trick!

Black Swan- Remember Me Sizing:

• Maitreya
• Belleza- Freya, Isis & Venus
• Slink- Physique & Hourglass
• TMP

While searching through some of the free prizes I found today, I saw this pose that I just had to share! XTC poses has joined the Women’s Only Hunt, and the pose stashed away at their main store is definitely giggle worthy!

Drama, Drama, Drama!

Drama!

Drama, drama, drama! That’s what these amazing backdrops from Kraftwork make me think of! I got them as a group gift by stopping by the store. There are currently two set out and each has a hud to change it to three different colors. One includes this chair and a posing stand! They even have the lights that filter through.

These are great if you are a second life photographer or just want to snap some photos. The Kraftwork group is a mere 25L to join and you can pick up these great backdrops yourself!

A little love…

I have a little love left over from February! I stopped by Elegance Boutique and discovered that they had out a lovely lingerie set for free with your free group join. It’s two pieces with the undies and the top and has cute details like the heart pasties. It comes in several mesh body sizes. I’m showing off the Maitreya size.

Some Second Life Snow

“When you have a dream, you’ve got to grab it and never let it go.” Carol Burnett

I’ve been dreaming a lot about a white Christmas. Sure I can find plenty of snow in Second Life, but all I’ve had here where I live is the cold, cold, cold. No snow yet. I admit, I miss the flurries and white just a bit. Meanwhile, I’ll settle for the pretty white, of Second Life snow, until real life delivers!

PixelArt showed off some snow with a special free POE Hunt gift that is a 4 prim snow photo studio. The studio includes 10 different winter backdrops including the one I am showing off in the picture, two actual prim trees that you can just glimpse in my picture, and a set of very nice poses that you change by clicking on a snowflake at the top of the studio. It’s a beautiful free snowy gift!

Some Glam…

My glamourous dress is the free POE Hunt gift from Paisley Daisy and is perfect for winter glam parties, nights on the town, ballgowns and formal occasions, and those ever popular Christmas parties. This full length gown with the generous side split is luscious with its generous array of shimmering colors and comes in may sizes.

Available Dress Sizes:

• Fitmesh XS – L
• Maitreya
• Slink
• Belleza

Queen Bee

I’ve been out gathering the last blooms before fall really sets in. We’ve had a few warm days and some of the flowers still are blooming. The cold nights will soon be frosting over the last of the buds though.

Late Bloomer

This ruffled romper is perfect for picking late blooms with its pretty lacy textured design and soft color. And you can pick it up free at Ashmoot. It’s their exclusive FabFree gift to all of us! Just don your FabFree group tag and head over to the Ashmoot main-store to pick it up.

Available sizes:

• Standard sizes XXS – L
• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

Pose pretty!

My pretty pose is another 12L gift from the TWE12VE event! You can find this gift at the B’Style booth and the pose is called “Angel”. It is great for Second Life photographers! And for only 12L, I couldn’t pass it up!

Queen Bee

Since I’m picking all these flowers, I have decided that I’m queen bee for the day, as stated by my most excellent tattoo. This was another TWE12VE event gift. I picked this gift up for 12L at the Lush booth. Inside the box was the cute omega applier tattoo pictured above!

A special gift

NSP Florals and [MUSE] sent out their September gift via group notices with a special announcement that their main-store would be temporarily closed due to an SL glitch (it will reopen as soon as possible). In the meantime you can get the current group gift in the notices (but hurry, notices only stay active for two weeks and it’s already been a few days). That’s where I got my beautiful set of 50s swing jewelry that I paired with my outfit.

Note* If you’re not already in the group, copy and paste this: secondlife:///app/group/fc7863f9-aea1-e3d3-9705-b37dd4bcd531/about into local chat and use it to join the group!

Don’t worry, the NSP Florals satellite store is still open and you can go to it to do your regular shopping for now using this teleport by clicking here. And the main-store will be back up soon! In the meantime, pick up the group gift from the notices!

By the Sea

Sometimes I prefer to browse the Marketplace for goodies when I’m in that “stay at home” mood. I found a couple of nice Marketplace gifties that are sure to brighten your day. Once I was ready to explore, I finished off with a group gift from one of my favorite Steampunk stores!

The perfect outfit

In doing a little Marketplace hunting I ran across this ZHO outfit by Petry Shop. It includes a shirt and skirt as separate pieces with nice detailing and great geometric textures! For only 20L, I snapped it up and didn’t have to leave my linden home. 🙂

Outfit sizes included:

• Standard mesh sizes XS – L
• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique

Strike a pose

I also picked up a gift pose from a little Marketplace store called Naomi Shop. This pose, called Naomi Gift Pose, is perfect for photography, and is just 10 little linden. If you take pictures in Second Life, you’ll want to add it to your inventory!

By the sea

My pretty seahorse necklace is a free group gift by Pixel Box. You join the Pixel Box group free, don your new group tag, and pick up this pretty necklace. It includes a texture change hud, which I’ve included a picture of below so you can see the variety of choices you have!

As an extra special touch, the necklace is mesh body sized, and includes sizes to fit the following mesh body types: TMP, eBody, Maitreya, Eve (Slim & Pulpy), Belleza (Freya, Isis, & Venus), Slink (Hourglass & Physique), and Tonic.

RUFFLES!

I think Friday is my new lucky day! I hopped onto SL this morning and my inbox was full of notices of all kinds of new group gifts and a 50 Linden Friday special that I knew I had to have! I was so excited to put this look together for you that I could hardly wait to post it!

New pants!

Pure Poison usually puts out shoes as their group gifts, but this time around they set out a free gorgeous pair of black ruffle front shorts! As always, the group is free to join. I fell in love with these at first sight and actually made the rest of my outfit around this signature piece! When you open your gift package, you’ll find that the Haley shorts come in the following sizes:

• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

Some browsing…

I did some browsing for the perfect shirt to go with my new shorts, and was in luck when I came across this beautiful Summer Color ruffled top by Toxic Bish. It is a free group gift and the group is free to join. I am showing it off in black in the picture above, but it comes with a texture hud that includes 11 colors and sizes to fit all the popular mesh body types.

Colors you get with this top:

• White
• Mauve
• Brown
• Hot Pink
• Salmon
• Red
• Yellow
• Orange
• Blue
• Mint
• Black (shown)

50 Linden Friday!

It’s Friday! Yay! The start of the weekend and special shopping deals! I stopped by Exile and picked up this beautiful hairstyle called “Run the World” in a pack of naturals (they also have out a separate pack of pastels for 50L too). It’s really pretty and I love the bangs! It’s a great and versatile hairstyle, perfect for many occasions.

Strike a pose!

I noticed oOo Studio Poses on my 50 Linden Friday list and decided to stop by there for a look. While I didn’t end up using the 50L pose for my picture today, I discovered that there were two free to all gifts sitting on the counter. You can buy the “My Life” pose used in this picture for just 0L, no group needed. It’s great for those of you into Second Life photography. The second pose out on the counter was a reclining pose, and was just as nice!

Beeeeeeeee Happy!

Mmmmm… a slice of watermelon in the middle of summer is just the thing! Pair it up with a cute free dress, and a great pair of sunglasses and the day can’t be beat! I put my hair up out of the way to make sure it didn’t get sticky. Let me tell you all about my look today!

This great pose!

I went to check out the Honey I Shrunk the Cart Sale and Hunt and went around and picked up as many of the hidden 2L Honey Drops as I could find. I’m showing off several of my 2L finds to you in this post! One of my favorite 2L gifts was this Watermelon Patch pose prop! It comes in two sizes. One for adults (shown) and one for kids! You’re sure to enjoy taking pictures with this terrific hunt prize!

Too cool for summer!

I love this cute butter colored dress. This cute minidress is by Crazy Pastry Designs and comes in lots of sizes.

Sizes available:

• Fitmesh XS – XL
• TMP
• Ebody
• Maitreya – Lara
• Tonic – Curvy & Fine
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

I paired the dress with a great pair of blue “Zipper” sunglasses by Closet Full of Pancake. You can get a close-up of what these look like by clicking on the Flickr picture. One of the lenses has a “zipper” in it for a unique look!

Another Hair Fair visit.

I also couldn’t resist another visit to the Hair Fair. I knew I needed an updo to keep my hair out of the sticky yummy mess of my watermelon eating. Cheveux happily provided with their free gift! This hair gift is a mesh fatpack of colors and is cute as can be. I cam-shopped from the same spot I’ve been cam shopping from the last couple of times (I’m still finding lots of goodies there) and it was an easy to find booth. Remember to use this tip for selecting objects that are far away:

((Quick hint: to get maximum shopping benefit, if you are in firestorm viewer, go to preferences, firestorm tab [along the left side] then Build 2 [along the top tabs] and uncheck “limit select distance” and then click ok. This will allow you to select items from any distance as long as you can see it with your draw distance!))

Happy Hunting and Hair Fair shopping!
