If You're Homesick, Give Me Your Hand And I'll Hold It (LOTD 3/31/16)

Good Morning Lovelies!

I was in an exploring mood today and went to visit some of the sims in one of SLs Home and Garden Magazines. I believe it was from the Love To Decorate Magazine, or LTD. The magazine comes out about every couple months I believe and that is how I found some of these sims. If you were wondering that is!

This sim is called Greenhill Residential Community and I believe it is based off the California Rockies landscape. Now, I'm not looking for anywhere to live, I love my home sim way too much, but this is a nice place as well. I've visited it twice already, its nicely decorated and seems very quiet if your into that sort sort of thing.

Spring is here and I am so excited for it. It means summer is around the corner which, for a lot of people means vacation! That is why I wanted to show you all a little explorer/vacationy sort of outfit.

I bought this dress and sandals last summer. They're both fitted for maitreya which is awesome! The hair is from I believe last years hair fair. WHICH reminds me... summer also means hair fair! Which also means helping Wigs For Kids and tons of free hairs too!

If you've read practically any post in my blog, you all know I love REIGN. They have the best shoes in SL in my opinion of course. But did you know they make all sorts of other accessories? My backpack is from them and its resizer is a lifesaver. My avatar is very, very small, especially compared to others out there. It is just the way I prefer to be. So things that either fit to my body or have an easy way to resize by going into edit will make me a very happy girl!

Just Don't Let Me Disappear (LOTD 3/30/16)

Good Morning Lovelies!

I was feeling a little 70s in my outfit choice this morning which is interesting as I'm not much of a 70s fan myself. But... we aim to please! I got these jeans a while ago a fameshed and I could just never get them to fit. Ive had this problem before and I don't understand it. If you have any types of hips in SL, you know what I'm talking about! The pants just cut right into your hips. What the heck is up with that SL? People have hips... fix your standard mesh! Its not even like I have massive hips either! I got a little tiny butt and just a little bit of hip to look nice. 

Ugh! rant over!

I kinda forget where I was going with that. OH! YES! The pants! So, these pants still have that problem, but as they fit the theme I was going for so well I just said eff it. You can see a tiny tiny clip because I don't photoshop, but that's normal...for these pants.

Remember how yesterday I told you guys that sometimes Apple May has items for 25L? Well these tops were from one of those mini sales last summer. I love them!

My hair though... now this is new! This is the Daenerys Targaryen style from rezology. Its called Mhysa and of course when you hear that name your mind goes to the creepy as heck scene where shes in front of a crowd. They all start hissing and your like what the heck is going on here?! But then they all start cheering "Mhysa! Mhysa! Mhysa!" Oh, I LOVE Game Of Thrones! And I need to start a marathon because season 6 is coming in APRIL! So like two weeks I cant hold in my excitement much longer!

I think thats what i am going to do today, soI will see you Lovelies tomorrow!

Tale As Old As Time (LOTD 3/29/16)

Good morning Lovelies!

Have you ever woken up from a deep sleep all disorientated? I did this morning and it is so strange!

Anyways, today I felt like being fancy, so I put on a ball gown and was originally going to travel to one of those fancy schamncy family sim places that has an outside ball room that is pretty but then I remembered one of my friends gave me a landmark and was like "Hey! Check this sim out, its gorgeous!" And... OH MY GOD you guys!!! He was sooo right! I haven't even checked out everything this sim has to offer, but its my new favorite photo places. And now I know what to do today! Today I am exploring this beautiful place called TELRUNA.

My dress is from Apple May. Once in a while Apple May has one of their amazing items on sale for 25L. I'm not sure if its monthly or what but one time this dress was for that price and how could I let that go? It comes fitted for mesh bodies and even in a black and red set. For 25L, its a steal. Although I'm sure it is back to the normal price now. When I bought it, blogging was only a dream in my tiny little head!

Okay, as I'm still waking up, lets go to the credits!

Pray For Belgium

Good ... afternoon Lovelies. I am so sorry for the incredibly late post today. This will be a short one due to the content and the fact that I am not feeling well.

As we all know, something horrible happened in Belgium last week. My heart and soul go out to each of the families around the world and the survivors who have been affected by this. 

In SL, some stores have shown support by setting out free gifts with the Belgium flag, or in Belgium colors. Flippant made this necklace and you can get it at the mainstore to show your support as well.

That is all I wanted to say today. I'm sorry for the shortness and I promise to have a better and longer post tomorrow.

Also the reason I am not crediting anything is because this is not a post about 'things'. This is a post for the people affected by Belgium. 

XOXO

Elements (LOTD 3/25/16)

Good Morning Lovelies! I'm sorry if this is up late but I'm sleepy!

So yesterday I went shopping around with a couple of friends - my two best ones! And we went over to the kawaii fair. I LOVE cute things, you know that. But oh my gosh! SAKURA FLOWERS!

EVERYWHERE! YAY! There were Sakura flower poses from Glamrus and sakura petals on the ground from +Half-Deer+ and I am just in love! So I wanted to show you a pretty little picture with them!

As you can see, I'm obviously inspired with this post. The petals, the wind, the unicorns. How can anyone not feel beautiful? I think that is the whole thing about second life, at least to me. Feeling beautiful. So many of us- and I'm not just talking about second life here- but so many of us have such deep rooted body issues. Whether we feel we are too fat, too thin, too freckly, not pretty enough, not good enough. And I honestly think along with our peers the media helps put these pre-conceived images in our head of what we should be. When is that last time you saw a movie where the lead character was a beautiful overweight woman who found love? And made it romantic? Sure there's a couple overweight woman in comedies. As if having a few extra pounds is funny. But since when has it become wrong for an overweight woman to be romanticized? If shes happy with her body, whats wrong with that? Is it not romantic?

*Siiiiiiiigh* anyways! I believe I've gone off topic again! What I meant to say was basically these pre-conceived notions start at such a young age. So stop! There is no reason to be ashamed of your body. Little girls all over the world are growing up ashamed of their bodies and its not right, Boys too. Love your body. After all, it's the only one you've got!

Okay, so this hair is an old gacha from the winter from ~Tableau Vivant~. I love it and have been wanting to show you all, I just needed windy stuff and now I have it! And the body suit is a gatcha from one or two summers ago from !APHORISM!. So, take a look at the credits and enjoy! I had so much fun making this picture!

Found something real that's out of touch
But if you'd searched the whole wide world

Don't give me up
Don't give... me up"

Showcase: Serendipty - Cry...

Good Morning Lovelies! I am back! First of all I just want to apologize. This month has been crazy with computer bugs and fixes and then physical health issues. Lets hope things start getting better!

Today I'm going to show you another set of great poses from Serendipity. She is amazing, let me just say that right off the bat! I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again because it is really true: Serendipity's poses are true quality. It really shows how much work she puts into them. I have bought poses from other places, expensive ones even that either still move or have legs going through arms or things like that. With Serendipity poses, every limb is set perfectly still and every angle is perfect. I'm not even saying this because I blog for her - it really is the truth!

The poses I will be showing you are a three pack for the Pose Lover Event. Check it out if you have time, the new round doesn't start until March 27th but it runs until April 10th. So, this pack is called 'Cry...' and I really got in the mood while taking the picture. Not to say I was crying, I wasn't! But I really felt the feels while making this photo and I hope you feel it too. 

Have you ever had someone that you need to let go of because they don't treat you right, but what you had was so perfect? Yeah... that's what I'm dealing with! That is the feeling I brought into these photos.

Once again I decided to go to one of my old haunts - Saint Pete City. It is so creepy and beautiful at the same time so I thought it was a good place! I hope you enjoy it!

All The Things That I Need (LOTD 3/22/16)

Good Morning Lovelies!

Spring! It's here! Yesterday there was snow on the ground and now its gone! At least where I live. Even the schools had snow days but by one o clock it was all melted. Soon you'll get to see all kinds of creatures coming out of their dens and winter hiding places with their cute little babies! I'm excited! Are you?

Because with cute little spring babies also comes adorable new breezy clothes! YAY! Light colors, light fabrics, pastels... OH! And rain, rain will come too and thunderstorms! I used to be terrified of thunderstorms. When I was a kid, I was in my bedroom which had bay windows. The curtains were all drawn and there was a thunderstorm and then BAM! Lightning stuck right between my house and the next door neighbors. Everything went white and I nearly cried! I may have screamed. It was so scary! I believe it was that year my mother got so tired of me being scared that when the school announced a science fair, she made me do my project on thunderstorms. It was actually really cool, we even made a little box that had lightning made from a camera flash. For some reason, someone who did a project on potatoes won... Because it wasn't rigged at all... The next science fair was at a new school, my friend and I did clouds. It was literally a piece of cardboard painted blue with cotton balls pulled apart to look like different clouds and somehow we won that! But anywaaaaaaaaaaays! I got way off track there!

So! Spring! Clothes! Spring clothes! Like my dress! This is another from =Zenith= and you know how I love love love =Zenith=! I can't remember if this was a gacha but it was from last spring. It is probably back in their store now. This adorable little bunny that I'm holding is another item from another of my favorite stores: Sweet Thing. I'm glad to say that they have been doing quite a lot of events lately. This bunny was from kustom9. All the little bunnies on the ground are from collabor88 and are made from in my opinion the best animal maker out there which is +Half-Deer+. I know its a little hard to see my hair but it is from this months gacha round and its is sooo cute! ~Tableau Vivant~ is the maker and its got two little pigtail sort of buns and awwww!

Also, finally another new thing that I am absolutely incredibly in love with is my new head and skin! Its the .: fiore :. Precious head with the Doll Applier that is at the Skin Fair and I LOVE it! I want to wear it all the time!

Now that I have written a book, lets get to the credits!

XOXO
