It’s A Hot Chocolate Day

Hello, lovely people! I hope you all are staying warm! I know so many of you are just buried under the snow right now! It has been the perfect weather for curling up on the couch with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate! (Or tea. Or coffee. Hey, I don’t know your life.)

Now I’m going to admit, I am not 100% sure I like this photo. I actually took this a couple of days ago and I wasn’t sure if I’d post it. It’s not that I don’t love every single item I used for it. Trust me, I absolutely do! But the photo itself…I just don’t know. But sometimes that just happens. I try not to stress myself out about things like this these days. You can still see the awesome items, and if you have any doubts about them, well hey. Go shopping and check them out for yourself!

We Don’t Make Mistakes, Just Happy Little Accidents

In my offline life, I’m not much of an artist. I cannot draw and the only painting I do is if I go to one of those “drink & paint” classes. But I do admire those who can pick up a brush or a pencil and just make something out of basically nothing. I mean, I can make something out of nothing, too, but it’s usually just anxiety. *laughs* In SL, I feel like we are living in art all of the time. We wear it, we sit on it, we play with it. It’s wonderful.

Uber is still going strong, so be sure to go so you can pick up all the beautiful things to make your own works of art.

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!

You Just Might Get It All

Hey bunnies, happy Monday! You know, one of my goals is to have a beautiful dining room one day in my offline world. The dining area in my house is actually where I have my computer! Who knows. Maybe one day I will put my foot down and get all the furniture in here moved around I’ll finally get the dining room I really want. But until that day comes… there’s always Second Life!

If It’s For You, It Can’t Be Any Old Thing

Hey bunnies! Someone mentioned to me the other day that I’ve been doing more decor posts than clothing posts lately. I actually have a reason. I have been having such a hard time finding cute things that are my style and that are more end of winter/pre-spring! I like to dress in SL the way my RL weather is, and right now it’s not always cold, but it’s definitely not warm, and almost everything I’ve seen lately is either for icy cold weather, or it has me almost naked. You can see the problem. 🙂 BUT! I’ve also been thrilleddd lately with the decor that people are doing! So it’s much much easier to play with all the wonderful decor than it is to try to dress myself. I’ve been really wanting to get better at doing home and garden photos, too, so really…it’s just win win all the way around, I think. ❤

Boy, Don’t Even Try To Touch This

Hello bunnies! I always say that I’m not really much of a gamer. But when I was younger, I was ALL about the games! The moment I got a Nintendo as a kid, I was hooked! If anyone tried to touch my controller… Nope! Not happening! I really want to find an old school Nintendo one day, but until then, I guess PC games are just going to have to do.

While’s There Life, There’s Hope

Hello bunnies! Guess what happens on the 15th? A new round of The Epiphany starts!! Oh my heavens, I am so excited! Now there have been some teeny changes, but I think you all will like it. You’ll still be able to redeem for points, but this time, the items are NOT double boxed! That is such great news because I know sometimes unpacking twice is just maddening when all you want to do is get your item! But because this is a new system, all your rollover points have been erased. Don’t worry a bit, though, because you know they won’t leave you hanging. On your first purchase at The Epiphany, you’ll be rewarded with 100 points! Since only 100 points ever carried over anyway, you are not losing anything at all. And if you didn’t have any extra points to begin with – hey, you’re coming out ahead! Remember that those points can be used for exclusive items, so even if you just buy one little thing, you’re going to be able to get probably 4 exclusives. Yee!

The Epiphany starts on January 15th, so get ready to shop!

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!

She Needs That Quiet Hour

Hey bunnies! I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m really don’t much of a morning person. When I wake up, I require at least one hour of uninterrupted time. Usually, my habit is to wake up and NOT do anything computer related for at least an hour. I don’t always make it, because sometimes I decide to catch up on news on my phone or Kindle, but still. I need that quiet hour.

Uber is still going strong! I combined two sets for my picture today. The table, chairs, rug, and lights are all from the Roxanne set by The Loft. The hourglass, wooden balls, chest, clock, and industrial lamp are from the Military set by Ariskea and The Den. So much love for these sets!

You also need to head out to FaMESHed for the Kendall hair from Wasabi Pills! Now you all know I’m not usually a fan of hairs with straight cut bangs, but either the length or the slight bit of texture on these bangs makes this hair a total win for me! But just as a disclaimer, the hair is not actually streaked like in this photo. My windlight made it look like this and I didn’t notice until after I took the picture. Oops. 🙂

Happy shopping!

Accentuate The Positive

Hi bunnies! Guess what day it is? It’s UBER day! The theme for this round is “Military.” I am loving it! So many cool, military inspired items!

I’m wearing the Military Coat and the Halterneck Bodysuit by COCO that you can get at Uber for this round. The coat is awesome and comes with the garrison cap. It also has optional medals and an armband.

N-Core‘s Survivor boots are wonderful! No one is going to mess with me in these babies! Especially since I have my gun, grenades, AND a knife easily accessible on my boots!

There is SO much more to see at Uber, so stop reading and go shop!
