I totally need an afternoon snack – something nutritious and full of vitamins! Plus, if you pair it with a cute dress, then it’s a total win!
A Pinch of Salt
This cute denim dress is the latest group gift from Salt! I love the sweetness of it in the rugged jean fabric. You can get yours by joining the Salt group for free, then clicking on the little vendor on the store’s main counter. Don’t forget to check out the lucky boards at the back of the shop while you’re there too!

I love picnics with an unending passion. Especially if someone else has packed them for me! There’s something romantic about foods all wrapped up nicely in a basket, lovingly packaged that makes me feel like Christmas on a hot day (Is this what it’s like for you, Southern hemisphere? jk….sorta). I’m having a flashback to one of my favourite movies –A Room with A View – when they head off to the Tuscan countryside for a bit of a ramble and a picnic on the hillside. Lovely, don’t you think?
Happy Rez Day!
Much excitement going down over at Poème! The very lovely Elysiane Sapphire is celebrating 11 years in Second Life with loads of fun to be had. She’s organized a fun hunt (called Bikini Fest – I dig it!) and there are loads of lovely prizes out to find. Just look for the little surfboards hidden around the shop, each prize costs just 11L. I picked up the Soft Summer Nights dress and I accessorized with the Summer Island Bracelets and sandals. The perfect look for an afternoon picnic! There are loads of other lovely prizes on the hunt as well, so make sure you take a look at the vendor photo below. You’ve got until August 15th to take part!

I have this thing that I often order the most ridiculous drink on the menu. I don’t mean that it’s a complicated drink, I just mean that it’s one of those things that people look at while you drink it and exclaim “what’s that?!” which eventually is followed by “is it good?”. And to that, I inevitably say “Venti strawberry açai refresher with light ice… and yes…it is!”
Feeling Sassy
Time for a new group gift from Sass! This cute perfect for the beach top and bottoms just screams sunny shores to me. You can wear the top and bottom separately, and I think the top would look super cute with a pair of jeans too. To get yours, join the Sass group for 10L then pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you. There’s a whole wall of monthly group gifts, so don’t miss out on those either!

I’m getting out of bed suuuuuper late today. The spirit wasn’t moving me to go and…do *things*. So, I hid under the blankets until the things went away…or I forgot what the things were in the first place. Either way, problem (sorta) solved!
Open Up
The Veles sim has just opened up to shoppers, with several of my favourite stores (and some new to me ones as well). The exciting thing is that they’ve got freegifts out for everyone who stops by for a visit. You’ll have to hurry though, these items are slated to be taken away tomorrow – July 3rd. No group join required, just click on the boxes. Here’s what I’ve got on:
FREEpyjama pants by Loki sized for Maitreya
FREEpose by Mirinae with 3 poses and their mirrors in the box
There are a few other goodies too, which you can see in the vendor photo below.
Right, off you go – go get the goodies!

It’s time to head for the hills, my dear FabFree peeps! I’m down for a bit of exploration, a side of adventure, and maybe even a bit of yodeling thrown in for good measure. I don’t know, it just seems freeing, you know?
Did You Say 500L?
SL18B rages on, and though I’m sure many of you have made the rounds, it’s always nice to get a reminder about the goodies that await on the sprawling 16 sims of madness! Addams are offering 500L of freestore credit – no group join required! Just click, and boom it will be added to your store credit account. With the 500L, I picked up this top and shorts which were just 250L each. Colour me pleased.
Don’t wait too long, SL1B is running a little longer – until July 6th.

The end of the month of June is a magical time, I think. The long days, the warm nights, the stars in the sky… it all kind of mixes together to make this enchanting heady mix of lovely weather and (if you’re lucky) relaxed living. I’m having a sip of all the season can bring, and it’s got me feeling like it’s alllllll good.
To Amias we Go
It’s time to celebrate Amias‘ 4th anniversary! The store is all on sale, and there’s a new group gift for members of their freeto join group. There’s even a version of this lovely cropped sweatshirt for the guys, so nobody is left out of the fun. There are plenty of other really nice gifts on the wall there too while you’re at it, so do check them out as well.

There’s a lovely spa in the city where I live. It’s hopelessly expensive and utterly chic. People walk around swathed in plush white bathrobes and matching slippers, shuffling between massages and hydrotherapy with a dazed look of bliss upon their visage. I don’t know about you guys, but spas have been decidedly off limits in my part of the world for quite a while now, so I’m trying to replicate the magic of the giant pool at the aforementioned spa here in SL. It’s not necessarily working as well as a dive into a cool pool followed by a calm down in the hot tub, but at least I can get the visuals!
This is the Life
The Gacha Life is in full swing right now, and as is their wont, there are a bunch of fun and freegifts for members of their free-to-join group. While I was there, I noted that their theme is “Pool Party” so I am totally getting into the hydrotherapy groove (I just really like saying hydrotherapy…can you tell?). I picked up the gifts from Sexy Style (which is my bikini on the left) but I was also quite taken with the more covered up bathing suit by BlondeQueen. If I read the notecard correctly, this round is only running until June 15th, so get in there asap!

Sometimes it takes a bit of doing to be proud of who you are. There are days where everything seems a bit off, and no amount of cheerful self-appreciation will shift that icky feeling. However, one must soldier on. Bit by bit, one gets to the point of loving one’s own quirks and foibles. I for one, am pleased with my penchant for collecting piles of stickers, for painting my toenails blue and for always skipping a step on my way up a stairwell. Sometimes it’s something deeper, like how we look, who we love or what we stand for – so dig deep and be proud of who you are, because you’re unique from the top of your head down to your blue toenails.
Miss Thang
One of my absolute faves, Miss Chelsea, is back with a new group gift for Pride. This cute tank top (love those added safety pins) comes with an HUD to change to two different textures (check out the vendor below) and looks just super cute. You can get yours by joining the Miss Chelsea group for 100L, then clicking the vendor on the front desk (sometimes things take a while to load at this location – a quick tp in and out usually sorts it for me). There are plenty of other gifts on the counter too, so totally worth it!

I picked up this jean skirt that goes perfectly with my new top over at the WIP Event. As I mentioned yesterday, you’ll find lots and lots of freegifts there in celebration of their 1st anniversary. You’ll find this jean skirt at the Beyond booth, and I’m sure you’ll be able to pair it with a great many different tops since it’s so versatile! The WIP Event runs until June 22nd.

It’s officially the weekend! I’m totally in need of a bit of rest and relaxation that involves me completely forgetting every single thing about RL for the foreseeable future. Ok, a bit extreme… fine, I’ll forget about RL for just a little bit while I whip up a cotton candy dream sequence filled with sugar and spice and all things nice. Bring on the silk and lace, I’m going all girly!
Pink Power
There’s a new group gift at Maai! I’m super excited about this one, because it’s three pieces that can each be worn separately, giving you all sorts of possibilities. The top, shorts and stockings are all super adorable and put me in the mood to be a frothy little powderpuff. To get your own, join the Maai group for free, then click on the vendor! Doesn’t get much easier than that!

I’m inspired today to head into the deserts of northern Africa. There’s something otherworldly about this landscape – the rolling dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see and the quiet emptiness of it all. I am happy that I’m not straying far from the oasis, because this girl does not do wilderness well. Keep the bugs, snakes and creepy crawlies far away! I don’t want to get too far from the drinks either!
Harambee
I nipped over to Harambee-Gwassi Kenya Charity shop and picked up their FabFree group gift. It totally put me in the mood for visiting new and daring landscapes. Harambee is always a great place to support since they donate all their earnings to charities to help out schools in Kenya. They’ve raised quite a bit of money from their work, so do help them out if you can! The Let’s Party dress comes with several different colour options, and it will keep you nice and cool in the heat. The FabFree group is always freeto join, so pop on your group tag and click on the vendor!
