Worth It

We’re going to keep this short and sweet today because it’s the weekend and I know we all want to just shop! But let me just say this – What the heck, Linden Lab? It’s 2018. WHY in the world do we not have proper mirror reflections yet? Why do we have to go through all kinds of ridiculousness just to try to make a photo of a mirror look presentable? Let’s get on that, k? Thanks!

Now everybody asks me why I’m smiling out from ear to ear.
They say love hurts.
But I know it’s gonna take a little work.
Nothing’s perfect,
But it’s worth it

I Can Give You What You Need

So I’ll admit it. I’m not great at the home and garden blogging. I love to decorate, but I definitely can’t do it as well as some bloggers do! I think it’s because I like a more minimal style and that doesn’t always translate well to photos. I like a room that you can walk around in, that you can invite people to come hang out in and they won’t worry about kicking the wrong thing. I love living rooms where it’s spacious enough to know that if suddenly I need to get up and go to the bedroom, it won’t take any time at all.

Listen long, long enough you can love me
I’ll be just yours, you can hold me
Even let you undress my mind
Save it, play it, watch it then press rewind
I can give you what you need

The Last Voice You Hear Tonight

So first things first, I want to thank those of you who nominated me for a Bloggies award!! I know it’s cliche to say it, but truly, I feel extremely honored to have been nominated for not just one, but two categories! I know I have been flying well under the radar this year, but this just motivates me to get back on the ball and get back to more frequent vlogs and blogs! Don’t forget to go vote for your faves before the end of the month!

Uber starts another amazing round tomorrow, and Hair Fair is going on now, and I’m just so happy for everything good going on right now. I hope all of you take the time to go do something wonderful for yourself today!

Now how about I’d be the last voice you hear tonight?
And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
Every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
‘Cause I know that’s a good place to start

Now I’m Shining, Too

It’s the first day of fall! Officially! I do love the changing of the seasons usually. It’s like a fresh start. I’m all about fresh starts these days. And fresh starts demand fresh clothes and other goodies, so go shop!

I think that possibly, maybe I’m falling for you.
Yes, there’s a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you.
I’ve seen the waters that make your eyes shine, now I’m shining, too.
Because, oh, because I’ve fallen quite hard over over you.

Today Is Where Your Book Begins

On Monday morning I did a live stream in SL for the first time in quite a while. I had forgotten how much I missed just chatting with people who are kind enough to come and hear me ramble about various things. It’s different than what I do on my Twitch channel. There, I play games and chat about what I’m doing in that moment. Somehow, live streaming on YouTube is different, and I can talk about any number of things. If you missed it, then I’m sorry, because I deleted the video immediately afterwards. Mostly because I did a playlist of current pop songs in the background and I didn’t need 37 copyright notices, but also because I wanted to chat about some personal things just to get them out there.

Someone in my chat mentioned that SL breaks are a good thing, because it means you can come back later and remember why you love this place. You can start again. It reminds me of a quote I really enjoy – “At any given moment, you have the power to say ‘This is not how my story will end.'”

No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten.

Fall Into Place

Happy fall, y’all! Well…okay, okay. I get that technically it’s not fall yet. I get that. But I don’t quite go by the real dates for things. For me, fall officially starts on September 1st, no matter what the weather is doing outside! And luckily my sister humors me, because she changed our sim to fall over the weekend.

I wanted to just thank some of you for the incredibly sweet IMs I’ve gotten as some of you have noticed me inching my way back into Second Life. Believe me when I say that I am more grateful than you could possibly know. I spent quite a bit of time in SL over the weekend and it felt really good. I want more of that.

Every time you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
