S&P SL22B credit buy 2025_2025-07-18_195521_001

I’m one of those folks who collect all the credits and gift cards at Shop & Hop then forgets to use them. Sheesh! I was able to use a couple of them. Today, I saw a notice about the $250L store credit gifted to us at the SL22B Shop & Hop. The credit from Salt & Pepper will expire on July 31st. You know, there is always something sweet to buy there.

Off I went to the store. I was very happy to see this cute bikini for sale at a price of $100L. This is the Dorothy Bikini top and bottom and it didn’t cost me a cent! Love those kinds of deals. Anywho, there are 6 different textured variations of the set at that price. And I still have another $150L to spend. Man, I need to get busy.

Sizes

  • GenX
  • Squishy
  • Dainty
  • Dainty Squishy
  • LaraX
  • PetiteX
  • Maitreya
  • Maitreya Petite
  • Legacy
  • Perky
  • Reborn
  • Reborn Juicy

I have to confess that I’m not familiar with some of the newer body sizes. If you have them you know what these are. It is difficult keeping up with all of the newer mesh bodies and their variations.

Now, go forth and spend your credits!

E Valentine FLF & SL22B Ricelli_2025-07-18_124256_001

Weeee! It’s time for FLF! I was able to pick up this gorgeous print dress for only $50L this morning. And I paired it with a free pair of heels from SL22B (Better hurry, it ends on July 20th). Couldn’t make me happier about this look.

Beautiful Florals

There are many Fridays that I don’t see anything listed in the Fifty Linden Friday sales gallery. This morning I came across this dress at E. Valentina. This dress is so classy yet playful. The texture is just stunning! I do love the fit of the dress that hugs my body quite nicely while also providing lots of coverage. Two versions of the dress are on sale at $50 each. One is a solid navy color while the other is the floral version I’m wearing today.

Sizes

  • Lara
  • LaraX
  • Legacy
  • Petite
  • PetiteX

I want to give you a heads up on another $50L dress at E. Valentina. When you enter the store you’ll see two racks of dress labeled “New Releases”. The rack on the right shows the Lili dress. Find the teal hibiscus version towards the middle of the rack. It’s also set at $50. All other versions are priced much higher so this is a great deal. I don’t have a picture to show you and I don’t know if this is an error or a promo so grab it ASAP.

It Will Be Sad To See You Go

Yes, people, SL22B is winding down very soon. Like you have a little over 48 hours to get there if you haven’t been there yet. Today, I’m wearing yet another gift from the celebration. The Aline high heels’ free gift from Diesel Deluxe are the very nice sandals I’m wearing. They’re versatile because of the hud that includes 12 colors for four parts of the shoes.

Sizes

  • LaraX
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Kupra
  • Erika
  • Reborn
  • GenX Classic
  • GenX Curvy

One more thing! Loel has a new free group gift – the Summer Hit fatpack of five poses. The group is free to join. You’ll find the current gift and a “Pose Bomb” of older gifts on the reception desk.

That’s it for now folks.

Peace Out,

Love Me Not

Love Me Not

Can’t stop, won’t stop blogging all these amazing gifts from SL22B Shop&Hop! This event is so huge and the gifts are so great. It would be a shame if you missed it, but you only have a few days left.

Strappy

Everything I’m wearing today was a free gift at SL22B Shop&Hop. I know, most of you have probably finished all your gift gathering and shopping, but in case you haven’t, or haven’t spent your credits, I do love to show you what you can get.

  • Free Dress by Vague (Purchased with 300L credit, sized for: Kupra, Lara X, Legacy/Bombshell/Juicy, Reborn/Waifu)
  • Free Shoes by Essenz (sized for Maitreya, Legacy, Reborn)
  • Free Necklace by Miamai (with metal hud)
  • Free Poppy potion from *Tentacio*

I purchased my dress from the Vague mainstore after picking up my free credit from SL22B Shop&Hop. I don’t think it expires, as I found some credit on my account from a previous S&H but this round I’m trying hard to spend all my money, and thank these designers with my blog posts!  I didn’t list the sizes on this dress because each outfit in the store has different body sizes available, and you’re picking your own, so go demo!

The SL22B Shop&Hop ends after the 20th, and there’s 480 stores to visit. If you’ve already picked up those gifts, don’t forget to buy yourself something cute with your credits. Here’s our Fab Free SL22B Shop&Hop Spreadsheet to help.

Alrighty Aphrodite

Alrighty Aphrodite

Goddess of love, beauty and desire you say?  Why yes, of course 😉  Although to be fair, I only fit into the category today because of these lovely free gifts from SL22B Shop&Hop!

Pandemos

Sometimes Aphrodite Pandemos was referred to as the goddess of persuasion, so let me persuade you to pick up these generous gifts, shall I?  Please read my whole post, there’s some details you’ll need to know before you shop.

  • Free Dress by Poison Rouge (rigged for: Lara X, Legacy, Reborn)
  • Free Floral crown by EXiA
  • Free Pose set by R.Bento (with hud, stand, and poses)

The Poison Rouge gift at SL22B is a pretty purple and white dress, BUT she also has free 350L credit at SL22B Shop&Hop for her group members (and that’s not listed on our spreadsheet!)  Poison Rouge has also made her group temporarily free during the Shop&Hop but it will go back up to 150L when it’s over.  You’ll need to collect the credit at SL22B Shop&Hop but you need to spend it in the mainstore.  I bought this gorgeous Amore dress which I’ve had my eye on for a while, and this round it’s available to purchase with credit.  It was 299L per color, fully covered by my free credit.  I think it expires on the 23rd, but I can’t say for sure.

Add in a gorgeous floral crown and a pose set named Aphrodite and you absolutely feel like a goddess.  Remember the SL22B Shop&Hop ends on the 20th so you’ve got to finish it fast if you haven’t already!  Here’s our Fab Free spreadsheet to help!

Christmas Every Day

Christmas Every Day

Well I did a Christmas in July post last year, so why not this year too?  I’m so inspired to do one because Inara Pey wrote an article in her blog about Green Story going Winter for the foreseeable future, and it just so happens that one of the items I bought with free credit at the Shop&Hop is actually named ‘Santa’s Wish Lingerie’.

Just elfing around

I was so stoked that {Red Blossom} was giving out credits as their free gift at SL22B Shop&Hop.  I had so much trouble deciding what to buy, I used some of my spreadsheet tips so I wouldn’t have to decide. Many thanks to those of you who have tipped! ♥  This adorable outfit I’m wearing today is the Santa’s Wish Lingerie and it’s fully covered by the 350L credit gift at SL22B Shop&Hop.  You can use the credit at the S&H location.  I bought the pink version, which comes with a color hud to change the trim and the pom poms.  It comes rigged for:

  • Lara X/Petite X
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Reborn/Waifu

I joined the {Red Blossom} group for free and brought home the matching Santa’s Wish Choker too.  She has it as a group gift at the SL22B Shop&Hop location so it’s a one stop shopping if you want 😉 (Although there are additional gifts at her mainstore).

Since I’m celebrating the winter, snow and everything cold, I brought some ice cream I bought with free 300L credit from Vizarte.  You can also use this credit in the SL22B Shop&Hop store.  This credit expires after 7/20 so you need to hurry and use it!  I bought this Bear a Bite Delight ice cream which allows me to change the color of the cup, spoon, ice cream, and sauce.  So adorable.

I’ve been trying to ensure I use as much of the credit as I can before SL22B ends, because I’m horrible at keeping track of expiration dates.  When a credit gift gives and exp. date in chat we add it to the Fab Free Spreadsheet, but sometimes there’s an expiration we’re not aware of.  Time for everyone to go shopping!

Peace ☮️

Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology

Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology

I’ll give Beachy credit for one thing, she sure knows her way around the wineries at Niagara-on-the-Lake. I’m not sure she can even count the number of wine tours she’s been on there in Canada, but that’s probably because of all the wine 😉

Bottle of red

Wine tours range from casual to fancy, depending on the wineries you visit, and I didn’t want to be under dressed. Not to mention, who could wear this suit anywhere other than Canada at this time of year? OK, let’s face it, it’s even cooking in Canada right now, but they do keep these wineries at the perfect temperature.

My nice new suit was free, of course, because that’s the purpose of this post after all. I recently found out that GGVG has clothing for men! The selection is smaller, but I quickly ran back to the SL22B Shop&Hop and picked up that generous 500L gift card GGVG has there as a free gift and went shopping in the mainstore.

My suit comes with 2 pair of pants (regular and slim), 2 shirts (with and without tie), a vest and the jacket, and the whole thing costs 299L, so completely free with room to spare. The giftcard can be found at SL22B Shop&Hop and must be used in the mainstore. There’s a teleporter at the mainstore that will take you up to the men’s department where you can pick what you like. This suit come rigged for:

  • Aesthetic
  • Jake
  • Slink
  • Legacy
  • Gianni
  • Geralt

You have until July 20th to pick up the giftcard, but it doesn’t expire. Just add it and it’ll be added to your store credit. You can use our Fab Free Shop&Hop spreadsheet to help you navigate.

What’s a wine tour without wine though, right? Starla, who used to blog for Fab Free has a new venture called Starlights Farm. She’s got various MyStory things for sale and also has a group and a group gift. The group is free to join, and you can bring home this wine bottle and glass of wine when you do. You’ll find it in the General Store on her farm. Thanks Starla! (and tell Vinny that Beachy says heeeeeeeeeey 😉 )

Peace Out ☮️
