Alright Fab Free’rs, I have to say I really am not in to the whole concept of a New Year resolution. I’ve made them in the past, and struggled to keep up with them, and ultimately ended up feeling guilty or disappointed in myself if my resolution didn’t work out. I think we tend to put too much pressure on ourselves to become the best brightest shiny new version of ourselves just because it’s the start of a new trip around the sun. I am all for self betterment, I just think it has to happen in my/your own time.
ZFG
For this post, this group gift hoodie top from ZFG (Zero F*cks Given) just really summed up the concept of a New Year resolution for me. Sarcasm is also my favorite kind of ‘casm, whatever that means. lol The ZFG group is free to join, and this snarky shirt is free with your ZFG group tag. Since I know my cell phone covers up part of the text it reads “My New Year’s resolution is to reign in my sarcasm. Like that is going to happen.”.
These glasses. Moons, stars, oversized lenses, these glasses from Zombie Suicide called out to me “Pru, you must take us home with you…”. Really, a must-have for me. They are the most recent group gift at Zombie Suicide, and the group has a 100 linden join fee. There are also past group gifts available. This gift has a color change hud as well that allows you to change the color of the frames, and the moon/stars so you can match these babies with everything.
Where did the weekend go? By this time Friday it will be Christmas Day! Can you believe it? I’m half in denial myself. lol Two things that seem to go hand in hand for better or worse are Christmas and shopping. I finally worked my way through the behemoth that is the Holiday Shop & Hop event and as overwhelming as it can be, I have to admit it was worth it. My inventory now flooded with gifts, I thought I’d share a few with you.
If you’ve never gone to one of the Shop & Hop events before, there are a few things you should know. First, there’s no group needed for the gifts, just click the gift box at each of the designer’s booths. Second, there are eight sims to wander through. Yes, I said eight. As you can imagine, that’s a lot of shopping and hopping. For this post I chose to share the freeHoliday Shop & Hop gifts by Eclectic Stars, Unicorn, and Infiniti. Enjoy, and happy shopping Fab Free’rs!
Eclectic Stars
When it comes down to it, one of the labels that could be used to describe me (and I think most of us in SL) is “gamer.” Eclectic Stars put out the perfect Christmas sweater for any gamer girl as their freeShop & Hop gift. It has a Christmas tree on it made entirely of Space Invader-style aliens. :O So cute!
As a photographer and a blogger, I’ve got an ever-growing collection of backdrops and photo props and I like it that way. The freeShop & Hop gift by Unicorn is this fun wintery holiday outdoor setting complete with a snowman, evergreen tree, and a festively decorated front porch. If you’re in need of a cute backdrop for some holiday photos, don’t skip this one.
Infiniti
Finally, this pose with the snowball and falling snow are part of the freeShop & Hop gift by Infiniti. The gift includes a set of 3 poses that include a snowball prop. The falling snow is a wearable add-on, and I have to say I love the detail of the pretty snowflakes. Almost like shoes, I’m a firm believer that there is no such thing as too many poses! For now I’m off to go see if I can’t sneak up on Blue with this snowball. Wish me luck! lol
Hello there Fab Free’rs. Thank you so much for being here. I cannot even handle how close to Christmas we are! I’m also finding myself both excited and overwhelmed by all the giftiness (yes I know that’s not a word) around the grid. There are so many events and advents and hunts, it’s a lot! For this post I picked up free gifts from Mister Razzor, BONDI, and IDTTY at Access, and a fun Marketplace find by The Bold Llama. Keep reading for all the details!
Mister Razzor
I think it goes without saying that Mister Razzor is a favorite tattoo shop of mine. At the current round of Access, Mister Razzor has the cutest holiday face tattoo for free. It has pretty little snowflakes near your eyes, and says “let it go.” This tattoo comes in a BOM tattoo layer only. It also comes in white as well as black. You’ll need to join the free-to-joinAccess event group to get this and the many other free gifts. Just look for the blue gift boxes at each vendor booth.
BONDI
These unisex wire-frame glasses are the freeAccess group gift by BONDI at the Access event. The glasses have resize scripts, and include a color change hud with 4 preset choices for the frames and 4 the metal parts of the frames. The same hud also allows you to adjust the opacity of the lenses.
IDTTY
Also at Access, is this lovely matte lip-color by IDTTY. This lipstick shade is one of 4 subtle matte shades in the free “Real Love Collection” gift by IDTTY. This lipstick giftset comes in appliers for Catwa, Genus, and Lelutka heads only.
The Bold Llama
Lastly, I couldn’t resist this cute holiday top by The Bold Llama that I stumbled across on the Marketplace. This cute tank-top is just 25 linden, and if “cheeky” doesn’t suit you, you’ll find quite a few other choices like “Queen” and “Lit.” Each of these fun festive tops comes in quite a few sizes, and has an alpha layer so it can be worn by classic avatars.
An awakening has occurred in the realm of mortal beings. Ancient heathen gods have found themselves in physical form for the first time since the early days of man.
These amazingly detailed male and female skins and full matching ensembles are a free gift from Fallen Gods. To claim this gift you’ll have to play the Fortune Teller and get a 100% compatibility score between you and another avatar. The gift includes both the male and the female complete looks. There’s no need to join the Fallen Gods group, though it is free to join. The Fortune Teller will be up and working from now through Nov. 7th.
Hello there Fab Free, I don’t know about you but I am so glad for the weekend. I could use the three R’s, rest, relaxation, and retail therapy! With the retail therapy part in mind, I did wander through The Gacha Life event. They are celebrating the season with free gifts. You may recall Aline’s post “Look for Magic” where she blogged two of the gifts. I picked up the shoes from ZFG as well, along with the t-shirt gift by Grumble, and a cute manicure by Sorry Charlie. Have fun, and happy weekend!
Grumble
The ultimate in comfortable attire, a simple tee. This one by Grumble is free at The Gacha Life event. It has a witch hat graphic and reads “Witch Please” across the front. To get this free gift at Gacha Life you’ll need to join the free event group before clicking the gift box.
Definitely pick up this nail polish applier by Sorry Charlie for free at Gacha Life also. At first glance it appears like a dusty blue polish with a black tip, which would be pretty. However it’s much cooler. The “blue” is actually a bunch of tiny little skulls, like glitter, but skulls!
Appliers Included: Slink, Maitreya, Omega

Follow me. I can show you the way. The way to what you ask? Well freebies of course! hehe Thanks for being here Fab Free’rs! There are so many fun things with gifts and prizes happing right now that it is hard to keep up. For this post I’m featuring a few of the Pumpkin Hunt gifts at Swank and a new free gift from Izzie’s.
Now through the end of the month the Swank event is hosting a Pumpkin Hunt. Most if not all of the participating shops have a Swank logo pumpkin at their booth with a gift ranging in price from 0 linden to 1 linden. I chose the free hunt gifts from Guguvaga, and Firelight to share with you. The Pumpkin Hunt at Swank does require you to wear the free-to-joinSwank group tag.

Guguvaga
I love the delicate looking sparkly spiderwebs on this fitted black tee by Guguvaga. It is a freeSwank Pumpkin Hunt prize you can pick up at the event, just look for the Guguvaga booth. Don’t forget the Swank group tag.
Swank Group – secondlife:///app/group/35fc648a-c80a-bd06-7b1c-0385c52e0fc1/about
Firelight
While I might not normally be a redhead, I found this pumpkin colored hairstyle by Firelight too cute to not share. I also think that the vibrant orange-red color is quite pretty, even if it’s not my usual. That said this pretty ponytail is also free as part of the Swank Pumpkin Hunt. Find and click the Swank logo pumpkin at the Firelight booth. The hairstyle comes in the “pumpkin” color shown with 2 size options. Remember to wear the Swank group tag from the free-to-join group.

Izzie’s
Finally, I came across some gorgeous BOM and applier eyeshadows by Izzie’s on the Marketplace for free. The “Gloom Eyeshadows” are 0 linden on the Marketplace. With this gift you’ll get 5 smoky colors in 2 variations each.

Under the cloak of darkness, among the wisps and fireflies such a moment exists when love conquers all, even for fearsome Drow. The realm of the Dark Elves has taken over the Twisted Hunt this fall. Will you be able to brave this difficult journey and seek the hunt prizes through decoys and without hints to their location?
The fall Twisted Hunt with the Drow theme will end September 30th, with the End Game lasting through October 17th. Don’t wait to embark on this quest for free Dark Elf inspired gifts and prizes. Blue and I both took on the Twisted Hunt, though I admittedly did not complete the full hunt. Thanks to quite a few of the free Twisted hunt prizes, he and I were able to create these striking Dark Elf characters.
My beautiful green gown and Blue’s matching tunic and pants are free Twisted Hunt gifts at The Dreaming Thicket. These gifts are packaged separately, so you’ll have two prizes to find at this stop.
The free Twisted Hunt Prize at 7 Deadly Skins is this beautiful pale grey dark elf inspired skin. Her name is “Cruel” which is perfect for a drowess. In the box you find system layer/BOM skins with or without brows, and an Omega applier.
Jeanette’s Joint
Blue’s deep grey drow skin is the Twisted Hunt prize at Jeanette’s Joint. It comes in female and male versions. These free skins come in BOM (bakes on mesh) layers only.
Germinal
The tattoos running down Blue’s arms are the free Twisted Hunt prize from Germinal. The tattoo comes in BOM (bakes on mesh) layers. It also has a black version, and a tint-able white version.
Venge
My jeweled head adornment is the Twisted Hunt gift at Venge. It is free like all the Twisted Hunt prizes, and includes a color change hud for the metal parts and the jewel.
Secrets of Gia
Blue’s elven crown is a free Twisted Hunt prize at Secrets of Gia. This one is a unisex gift.
Kumiho
Lastly my silvery face tattoos are the free Twisted Hunt gift at Kumiho. It comes in a single BOM layer only.
On days like this one, I need a coffee IV to start my morning without being grumpy. With my tiny human going to kindergarten tomorrow I’m scrambling to get everything together on her back-to-school list. Seriously not my fault! With the virus, everything is up in the air, and trying to get out and snag things is harder than normal.
[WellMade] has a new freegroup gift, their Caffeine Queen Shirt is available to the group members, don’t worry this group is free! Which makes this caffeine addiction so much sweeter! I swear the creator of the shop knows the world runs on Caffeine and she is super sweet to give this free gift to us! When you land at [WellMade] you’ll get a pop-up to join the group ^^ join and snag this newest gift!

Hello hello and happy weekend Fab Free’rs. I hope you’ve been enjoying yours. As for me, it’s been a productive sort of quiet weekend and I’m not at all mad about it. Even more, I’m excited to share with you some pretty summery finds from Dead Doll and Sweet Evil. On a side note, bonus points if you’re familiar with the movie from which I got my blog title, and the relation to the seals.
Dead Doll
This pretty sarong-like tropical print skirt is a free group gift at Dead Doll. It has a color change hud with several color choices and you can color the skirt and the tie separately. Right now the Dead Doll group has a one-time join fee of 250 linden. I think this cute summer skirt is perfect for dressing up and wearing out or even on it’s own at the beach with a bikini.
Size Included: Maitreya Lara
Sweet Evil has a dollarbie gift card worth 250 linden for current group members. The Sweet Evil group is free to join. I have no idea how long this gift card will be available, so definite do not wait to pick it up. With my gift card I picked out this cute halter style top and after using my 250 linden gift card only paid 50 linden for the top. I think it went well with the skirt, and it has a tinting hud so you can tint the shirt to match just about anything with the choice of tinting the main part of the shirt and the straps separately. There are lots of things to choose from at Sweet Evil, including BOM items. Just a note of caution, if you’re at all bothered by bare breasts, you might skip this one. Many of the tops sold at Sweet Evil have breasts playfully exposed.

Hello hello Fab Free’ers! I’m going to make this short and sweet because one of the finds I am about to share with you is for this weekend only. This gorgeous leather jacket is a Happy Weekend special at LeiMotiv priced at just 60 linden for this weekend only. It comes in several sizes, and has a color change hud that allows you to change the main portion of the jacket, the pockets on the sleeves, and the metal parts.
Adorning my new jacket are several pins from the two free pin sets at Star Sugar. I’ve been eyeing these for a little while now, waiting for just the right thing to wear them with. Pin set 1 includes 16 pins and is free for SLF&O group members. That group is free to join. Pin set 2 has 9 pins and is free for everyone, no group needed. These pins are intended (I believe) for a backpack also sold at Star Sugar, however I was able to wear them with my jacket by attaching them to my chest attachment spot and moving them to the place I wanted by editing them. I’ve included the vendor photos for each of the two sets below so you can get a look at these cute as heck pins.
