Hear the Ocean

Spending my Saturdays in, on, or around the water has become my summer go-to. When it’s this hot and sunny out the waves are hard to resist, especially when Blue is able to join me for a day of splashing around in the waves and collecting shells. It’s also really hard to resist an opportunity to wear this cute as heck bikini. I’m also really digging the retro vibe Blue’s swim trunks have. Keep reading and I’ll tell you all about this swimwear, and how to get my bikini, his trunks, and this cute couples pose for next to nothing!

Sass

I would have never guess I’d encounter a sloth print bikini that is as adorable as this one, yet here we are! This sloth bikini is a free group gift at Sass. Right now the Sass group is just 10 linden to join, making this bikini one steal of a deal. It comes in sizes for several mesh bodies with the single sloth print shown.

Seaside Retreat

MMmmm smell that salty air and feel that ocean breeze. Nothing like getting out of the city and to the coast. Here in Second Life that is. I took Pru on a little seaside retreat to get outta the house. We needed a change of scenery and to be free of the fur babies for a while. As the sun came up, I let her sleep in. I took a walk down to the nearest coffee shop and got us both a refreshing cold brewed boba treat from Movement.

A ‘o ia!

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.

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!

College Survival 101

CCCCOOOOFFFEEEEEE! Is the only way for a college student to survive. It’s the pick me up, the all nighters best friend, hangover cure, and just what the Doctor ordered. Man did I need my morning pick me up after a long night of partying. I had to find something to wear of course, before I go out, and grab my morning cup of Joe. I pulled on my grey Hawker’s House shorts, they smell clean enough. Then ravaged through my drawers, looked under the bed, was left with the only clean shirt I had. My loud awesome go to Boyberry summer party shirt. Then I slipped on my Ellison Coastal sandals from Rebellion as I grabbed my Vespa keys and went out the door.

Rode to the best place to get coffee near campus. Then your left deciding what to order of course. Hmm…Double Double, French Vanilla Cappuccino, The Gretzky, Chocolate Timbits Iced Capp, Doubleshot on Ice, White Mocha Frappuccino, Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte, or perhaps the Espresso Frappuccino. I went with just the simple Double Double for now. MMmmm…man did I need that. Nothing like that warm caffeine coursing through your veins to get you ready for a long day of classes. BTW if you like my outfit, the entire thing is free.

All three piece are from the Allstuff Hunt going on right now. Who can pass up on this wild Summer Shirt from Boyberry? These denim Bernuda Shorts from Hawker’s House is only part of their gift. It also includes an Ombre tank. Along with another outfit and sandals in the box. These Ellison sandals are just what a guy needs for the upcoming summer months. There is a long list of Menstuff Hunt gifts for the guys. All of the items are priced $0L or $1L. Not to worry cause this hunt includes ALL the stuff groups. Which are Womenstuff, Menstuff, Homestuff, Posestuff, and Kidstuff. There is something in this hunt for what ever it is you fancy here in Second Life. Just remember to grab yourself a cup of coffee, you’ll need it for all the hunting your gonna do on this hunt. Cheers!

Fly Away

“I want to get away, I want to fly away.”  That’s so my mood today, I just wanna get away.  I’m so sick of being cooped up and want this whole ordeal to be over.  Life as we know won’t be the same for a while.  I suppose we need to get used to it.  Good thing for Second Life!  It lets me get away and even fly away, if I want.  I took to skateboarding in the virtual world.  In real life, I pulled out the table fan, set it to stationary, and put it on high.  To get that wind blowing through my hair feeling you get when you’re ripping up the street and flying through the air.

I tossed on some long board shorts and a tank top. Threw on my sneakers and grabbed the Long board.  Before you know it, I was thrashing and gleaming the cube. My outfit is assembled of freebies. The Dylan shorts are from MG Designs, and they come in several popular mesh sizes.  My blue tank top is from TwoSided.  Both of these are part of the Stay At Home Club’s long lists of gifts.  That even includes my Long board skateboard by Max Magic.  That long board has some great jump action in it.  That’s how I was able to snap this picture. If you haven’t checked out the Stay at Home Club web page, you really should.  They have freebies for both males and females, even some for the children of Second Life, as well as home and garden stuff.  Everything you need to either help you get started or to add to your Second Life.

Thanks, to The Stay at Home Club, and all the many wonderful designers who have come together in this dire time.  To bring us all a bit of comfort by giving us fantastic freebies.  Also, thank you for letting Fabulously Free in SL be part of your efforts to share and spread the word of all these amazing gifts.

Wednesday Night

Is it Friday yet? No…? I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed heading out of the house until we all got quarantined. I used to wait eagerly for Friday and the clubs or a nice dinner out or a bar for some live music. Now… every night is Wednesday night. Better times are coming and Fridays will be restored to their former glory.

Staying in

Since we are staying home we made as well enjoy it with the Stay at Home Club. I didn’t even have to leave the virtual house to pickup this new free outfit. This is “When the Party’s Over” by Alpha Male and it’s only on the Marketplace. Each piece is a separate so fitting is easy and it makes for a versatile addition to your closet. Plus, you get a very nice pair of dress shoes so it truly is a complete outfit.

Steam

Hey FabFree. Things are getting a bit steamy here this evening. All thanks to Wicca’s Originals. Let’s dive in before things get a little too steamy…

Unmasked

First up is Gabriel’s gorgeous Steampunk half mask from Wicca’s Originals. This is the Aki Mask and it the completely free gift for the fantastic Stay at Home Club. You can resize it as needed or reposition it to fit perfectly.

My more feminine mask is also from Wicca’s Originasl. This is the Adeline Mask and it’s the Group Gift this month. In the gift, you’ll get four colors – Berry, Copper, Gold and Storm.  The Wicca’s Originals Group does have a one time fee of 99L but with the quality of the gifts, I think it’s worth every penny.

Comforting Silence

At times silence can be comforting. It allows you to pause for a moment and clear your mind. Open a window, feel the breeze, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Letting your mind go blank for a few minutes, in this world of self isolation. There is no better way to be comforted then by wearing something that makes you feel that way.

Comforting Hoodie
The warm, softness of a fleece hoodie, gives you that feeling. Right now you can pick one up for free at the Neo Japan event. Gabriel has put out this black hoodie for both men and women. It is absolutely free, no need to join a group. Just click on it and it’ll be delivered to your inventory. It can be worn solo or with a black or white tank which is also provided in the folder for free. Hop on over to Neo Japan, grab this freebie before the event ends, on April 19th.

Rise Up

Good evening, FabFree. I, like most of you, am stuck at home while the virus takes over the real world. However, I refuse to let it scare me into hiding here on the Grid. And yet… I have joined the “Stay At Home Club”. Hopefully you have as well. There are some choice free gifts being offered and they haven’t forgotten the men.

Rise

Ascend, in particular has been very generous with their gifts. Blue showed us all this shirt for the SLF&O group earlier.  This is the Hideo Trench and trousers. If you don’t care for the colors I’ve chosen. you can change them up with the HUDs. Because you are getting the entire Fatpack for both the top coat, cardigan and shirt and the trousers. If you simply purchased this set it would cost you well over 2000L. Honestly, it’s worth the price when you consider the staggering amount of color combinations you can make with the HUDs and the extremely high quality build and design. But for now… it’s free. Be aware, you must pay the vender 1L and it pays you back also the top is it’s own Fatpack and the trousers are their own Fatpack. Each must be purchased separately.

If you have time… drop a thank you note to Ascend for their generosity and wonderful community spirit!
