What do you get when a demon and a goddess walk into an evening garden party? Who knows, but I can tell you that my good friend RJ and I had an excellent time dancing, eating and casting spells. Isn’t that what everyone does at mystical night garden parties?
MIIX it up
The MIIX event is back with another round this month, and there’s another fun freehunt! If you join the Hype events group for free, you can hunt down all the little ancient Egyptian urns because they contain freegifts for both guys and gals! I got my dress (sized for Maitreya, Belleza and Slink), necklace and sandals there (though there are also tattoos and bracelets…) and RJ got his shirt, tank top (sized for Gianni, Geralt, Jake and Slink) and sandals there too! You’ll have a blast searching out the gifts, because I know I sure did!
Head on over to the MIIX event before July 20th when it all goes poof!

I don’t know about anyone else, but my Second Life summer is shaping up extremely nicely. As everyone knows by now I’ve been hitting the beach every chance I get. Thanks to Paper.Sparrow’s new Dog Days Hunt, I get to look extra cute while keeping my toes in the sand.
The Dog Days Hunt is an in-store hunt at Paper.Sparrow. There are 18 total hunt prizes at 25 lindens each. The hunt prizes include several tops, skirts, shorts, a dress, swimwear, shoes, and sunglasses. I paired together the top to the grey floral bikini with the blue floral Jesse shorts, and the tropical sunglasses v1. The Dog Days Hunt at Paper.Sparrow will last from now through the end of July. Happy Hunting!
Anyone want to join me for some ice cream? Summer calls for the most decadent of treats, I say. I think banana splits may be on the top of that list for me though! And speaking of decadent treats…let’s grab a delicious bikini without spending too much!
Back to the Beach!
The Beached Bunny hunt is in full effect, and you’ll find this really lovely bathing suit over at MOoH! I couldn’t say no to the amazing textures that come with this cute swimwear, and best of all it will only set you back 1 little Linden and a bit of hunting time! Your hunt hint is “Look behind the tuliphead”.
In a quest to enjoy some sunshine and get some Vitamin D, Blue and I have taken to exploring bright beachy locations. These little excursions have led us to some pretty cool places. Not to mention that the promise of adventure is also probably the best way to get me out of my beloved pajamas. lol
Speaking of not being in pajamas, my colorful t-shirt dress is a free gift by UNA at Second Life’s 17th Birthday shopping event. It comes in rainbow, black, and white. My cute chunky heart earrings are a freeSL17B gift by NeverWish. I thought they were perfect with the rainbow “Road Trip” dress by UNA. I’m kind of digging the whole ’80s vibe this look gives. Blue picked up a few freebies at the SL17B Shop & Hop event also. His flip-flops are the freeSL17B gift from Native Urban, while the cool ring he’s wearing is the free mens gift at SL17B by Lapointe & BastChild. There’s a ladies version of the ring as well. Blue’s shirt and shorts are both hunt prizes on the AllStuff hunt. His cool floral sleeveless hoodie is a dollarbie hunt prize at Waffles, while his casual linen shorts are a free hunt gift at UnderDog. The AllStuff Hunt ends June 30th, so don’t wait and miss these!
Waffles Hunt Hint – Find me at the landing point.

I’d been dreaming of a seaside escape for weeks and Blue and I finally took a moment away from all the hustle and bustle of the real world and spent an entire day enjoying the sun, surf, and sand. For some extra fun, surf lessons. Blue took to the waves like a duck to water, while I was a little less certain! Either way, we still had an amazing time out at Kanaloa Surf Beach.
Before heading to the beach we picked up some new swimwear from MishMash Fusion. They have a set of his and hers swimsuits as their Surf into Summer Hunt prize. We also grabbed this surfboard with the tandem pose from Something New. It’s one of 2 the two poses included in the Surf into Summer Hunt prize at Something New. The Surf into Summer Hunt is running now through June 21st, and the prizes are just 2 lindens. Mahalo everyone for being here, and happy hunting!
Swimsuit sizes Included:
His – Adam, Aesthetic, Belleza, Signature Gianni, Slink, TMP, Standard Mesh (xs – XL) + Alpha Layer
Hello Fab Free and hello summer! The Women Only Hunt 6 started yesterday and while I haven’t picked up all the gifts quite yet, I did pick up all the WOH6 gifts at Crystal Store. Yes, I said all the gifts. Crystal Store has 6 total hunt gifts that are 10 lindens each. For this hunt you’ll be searching for a bright yellow sun with a smiley face on it. The Women Only Hunt lasts from now until June 30th. I’ve added a copy of the hunt prize key from Crystal Store so you can get a better look at each of the prizes.
There’s nothing quite like crisp white fabric in summer, and I love this cute head-to-toe look from Crystal Store. The full set includes the top, skirt with belt, shoes, sunglasses, headphones, and ice cream cone (not shown in my photo). The sunglasses, and headphones can be sized via touch menu, and the ice cream has a bento hold pose. The skirt, top, and shoes are sized for Maitreya and Belleza bodies only. Happy Hunting!

I always love a hunt that gets a song stuck in my head. The thing is, I actually have a love-hate relationship with hunts. I love the fact that I get free or cheap stuff by looking around a sim or a store, and a lot of the stuff I get is super adorable! However, I find that my patience for well-hidden items seems to have dwindled in the last few months. I’m not sure what that says about me, but I did manage to get one hunt under my belt today!
Cruel Summer
It’s time for the Cruel Summer Hunt! From the organizers of Spookzilla etc, you’ll find a sim just bursting at the seams with cute items to hunt for. You’re looking around for a little rubix cube. Each one costs 25L or less. I found most of the goodies from Love, and I’m sure you’ll agree they’re super adorable. Here’s what I found:
25L Hair by Love in a full fatpack of colours
25L Panties by Love sized for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy & Maitreya
25L Pants by Love sized for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy & Maitreya
10L Pasties by Love with either clam shells or starfish in the box to choose from
The Cruel Summer Hunt has lots of designers participating – you can find all their hunt keys at the landing point. You don’t have too long to grab the stuff you like though, this hunt is only running until June 14th!
Good Luck!

Sometimes there’s no other way to describe a place except to say that it feels homey. I feel that way about this magical little setting I put together with a few of the Fantasy Forest Hunt prizes. The Fantasy Forest Hunt is running through the end of May, so there’s still a bit of time to get hunting. For my witchy woodland setting I picked up the gifts from The Artist Shed, Collect, and Tentacle Experiment. Each prize is just 5 lindens, and you’ll be hunting for a small grouping of mushrooms.
The Artist Shed
This detailed armchair with its decadent floral fabric is the Fantasy Forest Hunt prize at The Artist Shed. The chair is 6 land impact prims, and has a single unisex sit pose. It’s also copy, so you’ll be able to rez multiple chairs if you wish. This FFH gift is just 5 lindens.
Hunt Hint – If a branch falls in the forest, I mean store…does anyone remember?
Collect
The carved pillar and tree with hanging lanterns giving light to this setting is the 5 linden Fantasy Forest Hunt gift at Collect. It too has really nice details with only 8 land impact prims. After all, what witchy retreat would be complete with out a light to conjure by.
Hunt Hint – Fantasies and Daydreams are fuel for many a book.
Tentacle Experiment
Tying everything together is the Fantasy Forest Hunt prize at Tentacle Experiment. Also just 5 linden and 5 land impact prims, this FFH prize is full of witchy whimsy. It includes the trio of rocks, broom, books, and animated grass. The grass seems to be subtly waving in the wind, or perhaps it is the magic emanating from the books and broom that causes the grass to dance.
Hunt Hint – Eating mushrooms can give trippy effects.

Waiting is always hard, especially when I’m waiting for Blue to get home so I can attempt to beat him at air hockey. The last time we played, I am pretty sure he took it easy on me. lol This shiny new air hockey table, the cool wall hanging, and the matching rug are all gifts on the Retro Hunt from Tentacle Experiment. Each of the furniture and decor pieces in this set are copy so you can rez multiples. My tank-top is also a Retro Hunt prize you can find at The Bold Llama. I have to say, I am genuinely digging these bright colors. The Retro Hunt is a dollarbie hunt and it runs from now until the end of May.
After a foray to the RL grocery store, I find that nothing soothes my soul better than a bit of a chill in SL. I love the fact that I can come inworld and not worry about how much space is around me or whether I inadvertently walked through someone’s cloud of breath. Yes, I know I’m overreacting slightly (am I?) but that’s besides the point. SL is my home away from home, while still being at home. And I’m more grateful than ever for this little slice of virtual paradise!
Well Tressed
Pr!tty have their freegroup gift for May ready to go, and it’s this really pretty long hair. I always love the little details in Pr!tty hair, such as the errant strands and the myriad of colour choices. To get your very own, just join the Pr!tty group for freeand then pick up this lovely hair in their main store. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Ooh, Seasonal!
The Shady Sim Seasonal hunt is back, with a bunch of stores hiding a flower pot somewhere in their shop. I nipped over to Mug and found their hidden flower pot, which contained this pair of exceedingly short shorts (as with all Mug items, they come with different gender options in the HUD). To get them, I joined the free Shady Hunt group at the landing point, then found the pot which only cost me 20L. Check out the other offerings on the hunt below! The Shady Sim Seasonal Hunt runs until May 15th.
