I’ll Rise Up

Hello, beautiful people! I have been playing around with lights lately after watching this amazing tutorial from Daeberethwen. I do use projectors and lights in a lot of my photos anyway, but I primarily use Beev’s tutorial on soft/diffused lighting. If you’re someone who is wanting to make your photos better and you’re unsure how, just go to YouTube! We have so many amazing photographers who have made tutorials on how they do certain things to make their photos. I know I have learned so much from watching them. The best part, I feel, is that no one says “You have to do it this way.” You can learn from one person and learn from another and mix it all together to make something that works for you. It’s art!

Choose Redemption

Hello bunnies! So it’s my birthday today! As most people know, I can be a little extra about birthdays. I mean, one year I had three parties in a week just to celebrate! But I think everyone should be a little extra about their birthday. Not everyone gets another chance around the sun, you know? Plus it’s like having your very own personal New Year’s Day. Who doesn’t love that “fresh start” feeling, you know?

But speaking of fresh starts, a new round of Whimsical has opened up, so be sure to get out there and have some fun!

This Is A Story About A Girl Named Lucky

Hi bunnies! So I’ll admit it. I have been a horrible blogger this summer. I think there comes a time in every blogger’s life, especially for those of us who have been doing it for 10 years, where we just get in a huge creative rut. I have barely been in SL this summer because I have just felt burnt out. It happens. Hopefully, though, my intense love for SL will return. Until it does, I hope it’s okay that things in this blog are slower than usual. There are gorgeous things out there to buy, and you absolutely need them!

Fall Is In The Air

Happy Monday, bunnies! Yes, it’s my second pumpkin type picture in a row. I think we can all agree that it’ll probably happen a few more times this season. I’m not even ashamed. ♥ But what will shame you is if you don’t go to Shoetopia! It opens up today at 3pm SLT!! It’s SO good, you guys. SO good.

Happy shopping!

I Grind Til I Own It

Hey bunnies! Those of us who play gacha know the drill. We see an ad, we want the rares, and we play until we get them!

The Epiphany is coming! I know I’ve said it before, but each round of The Epiphany is better than the last! I am honestly thrilled that the event is coming because it really is one of my favorites. And trust. This round? Totally not to be missed!

I hope you all are ready for the 15th!

Making An Entrance!

Hey bunnies! So as I mentioned before, I can’t skate. Just can’t. Despite trying a lot, any time I stepped out onto the rink… Well. It was kinda like this.

Rewind is still going strong and you totally need to go! There are just so many adorably 80s items there! It does run until June 10th, so you do have some time, but you definitely don’t want to miss out!

My Land, Isn’t It Grand!

Hi bunnies! When I was younger, one of my favorite stories was Charlotte’s Web. Oh gosh, I LOVED that story so much! When I was putting together a look today, the moment I saw this outfit, naturally all my Charlotte’s Web love came rushing back!

The Epiphany starts on Sunday!! I absolutely fell in love with the The Winter Gacha set from Zenith! The outfit I’m wearing includes the piggy and balloon, so you’ll have to alpha out your arms and hands for it to work properly. But loooooook at it!! Just too adorable for words! Plus I’m wearing the Leather Bow platforms and socks from the set, and the headband with earmuffs that is Zenith!‘s Epiphany exclusive item. Remember that you can only buy the exclusive items with Epiphany points, so be sure if you have extra items that you don’t want to trade away, you can redeem them for points!

I’m also wearing the Mashell skin from Insol that you can get at The Epiphany. This is for Catwa heads only, so keep that in mind if you play for it. It’s just so cute!

I hope you all are ready for The Epiphany, because whew! It’s going to be a great one!

Be A Part Of The Scene

Hello bunnies! So little known fact about me is that I cannot skate! Roller skating or ice skating…nope! I have always dreamed about being a figure skater, though. To be graceful and gliding and jumping on the ice would be like heaven to me! Who knows, maybe one day I’ll strap on some skates again and try. But until that brave day comes, I’m more than happy to live out my ice princess dreams in Second Life!

Dead Dollz has the prettiest gacha set out at N21! The Avatars On Ice set is wonderful! I’m wearing the rare Axel dress from the set, plus the Loop gloves. These are fit for the Maitreya body and hands only, so keep that in mind when you play the machine! There are also other dresses and items in the set, so get playing so you can get to skating!

Happy skating and shopping!

And Like The Second Hand, She Never Stops

Hello bunnies! I hope you are all having a great week so far! I feel like I seriously need to work out this week. All the eating from Thanksgiving and all the Netflix binge watching I’ve been doing has made me feel like a total sloth!

If you haven’t been out to N21 yet, you definitely need to goooo! That is where I got these awesome Open sweat pants by Sabotage, and the Retro bra by Pseudo! If I had exercise clothes this cute in RL, I might just work out a little more often!

Happy shopping!

Pay No Attention To The Lies They Try To Feed You

Hey bunnies! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! Or, you know, just a great weekend if you aren’t in the US. If you haven’t been out to The Liaison Collaborative yet, you need to go go go!! It ends on the 30th!

If you’re looking for a dress to wear to one of your upcoming fancy holiday parties, you have to stop by TLC to pick up the Celeste gown from GizzA! The skirt is fit for several mesh bodies and the top is an applier. I know we run from flexi a lot of the time, but honestly, the fur on the shoulders just *needed* be flexi! I can’t imagine another way they could have done it. But don’t worry, it’s not super crazy swishy flexi, it just kind of moves like fur. I love it!

The Liaison Collaborative ends on the 30th so you better get over there!
