The open trail that leads to a new frontier

On November 9, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Hunts, LandscapingLeave a comment

I’m back to do a second post today to feature this outfit by {Reverie} that’s available at the current round of FaMESHed. There are several options available for you to choose from. It’s been a few days since the event opened so now is the perfect time to visit.

I’m also featuring another cute static pet decor from the PeeWee Puffs Gacha set by JIAN. It’s the blankey puffs rare in the set and available at the Gacha Garden event.

Happy Halloween

On October 30, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Gacha, Home, Hunts1 Comment

It’s like ten minutes before it strikes midnight and officially the next day and it’s Halloween. I wanted to get this post in earlier just in case you wanted some last minute party and decor goods, then I’m featuring some cake, drinks and cupcake goodies by Una. These are gacha items and available at Shiny Shabby.

The decor is by Dreamscapes Art Gallery. The chairs, picture and candelabra are items for the Black Widow 2 Hunt that started today. The boo ladder is this month’s group gift, which can be joined for a relatively small fee of $50. The dog is so cute, and it’s another common dog in the Hallow-Inu gacha set by JIAN at The Epiphany.

I’m also featuring items that I am wearing, starting with the skirt by Reverie, which is at Uber. The military/chic skirt comes in 8 colors, plus 2 bonus colors on the fatpack and 1 on the smaller packs. The boots that I am wearing are by Empire, and they are also at Uber’s. They are 100% original mesh, with 20 colors included and you can change parts individually. It’s fitted mesh for the Belleza Freya, Belleza Venus, Belleza Isis, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, Maitreya, The Mesh Project and also Slink Male.

The last item being featured is the pose that I am using. I’ve been a big fan of this store for a while as they make some cute poses for you and a little one. The set I am using this #18 poseis called Katya. I was able to fix it so that I could lean against the chair and only had to make a slight modification to raise my left knee/foot up. Go check out the store to find some awesome poses at some great prices.

If you are into doing the whole trick or treating, be safe!

The American Countryside

On August 27, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Hunts, LandscapingLeave a comment

There’s a bit of excitement in the air as the month draws to a close when the doors will open for the next round of the Arcade. The gallery is now up, but I’ve not really had a chance to sit and go through it just yet. Though what I’ve seen so far in the blogs and flickr it’s another great round of amazing stuff starting with another set that I’m showing today by Hive.

The American Countryside gacha is just fantastic. There are 17 commons and 2 rares, which are the barn and the shed and the reward for hitting the machine 25 times is the fence kit that has a secondary color option on touch. The two rares have a texture change option — for the barn: the bottom front panel and for the shed: the side displaying a faded american flag.

So many wonderful pieces to use as a single unit or as a complete set to decor your own homes.

Have a great Saturday!

Twisted happenings

On March 27, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, HuntsLeave a comment

The [Den.] has come out with a new skybox — the Room 341 out now at the newest round of Uber. The size is 24 x 22 x 6m and is 73 prims. One of the things to note about the builds from this creator is they are easily adaptable to fit whatever need you may have. For example this skybox can easily be used as a personal home or used for a business and modifiable to customize to your liking. The first two pictures top and bottom of the photo below show the bigger room in dark and light lighting. The other two pictures show the skybox as a double without doors, which makes it great for a store.

Featured as well is the decor wall clock by unKindness currently at the monthly Tres Chic event. It’s available in a few colors. The other items by the same creator is the table and ottoman that is below the television at the LTD Event.

To decorate the room above I used items from Finishing Touches. The yellow loungers, rugs, round table with vases and the column shelves with the accessories are the hunt gift by Finishing Touches for the Twisted Hunt. There is one other piece as part of this gift that is not pictured, which is the column shelves as stand alone.

It’s been three years since I last fully did this annual hunt. If I remember correctly you get no hints to find the twisted hunt object and there are dozens and dozens of the same object all over the store. Though the gifts for the hunt were always pretty good as evident by the prize that Finishing Touches has put together for it. There are other accompanying pieces to this set available in gacha at the store.

Happy shopping and hunting!

Last Christmas

On December 19, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, Hunts2 Comments

As I was going through the poses on this chair, which are a few for activities and sleep I settled on this one as it sort of fit my contemplative mood. Gazing at the beautiful tree I thought of how different my last Christmas is to this year. I don’t bemoan material things as those have never been that important to me. No, I grieve the loss of people that were in my life then who no longer are.

For some reason I think this could be my last Christmas in Second Life. I don’t know what the future brings obviously, it’s just more or less a thought that funneled through my mind right now. On January 8th, I will have been in Second Life for 5 years, which in my book is a pretty long time.

That day is also very significant. It was the same date of January 8th two years ago, that I also met someone who came to be a very important part of my life. I miss that period in my life, where everyday was more carefree and not as heavy. I miss him too. My Christmas wish for him is always that he find peace, happiness and joy.

I’m thankful for many things, but today I’m just thankful for even the cool weather that has me shivering from cold.

I’ll be home with bells on

On December 5, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, HuntsLeave a comment

I think the bell on the wreath made me think of the song “I’ll Be Home With Bells On” when I looked at the picture this morning. It’s a holiday classic that still brings a smile and makes you want to stomp your feet. I am listening to it as I’m sitting here writing and starting to get energized.

I absolutely love the feel of a cabin as it conjures up an image of a large fireplace roaring with a warm fire and the idea of sipping hot chocolate all the while in long johns and fuzzy socks. Chuckles.

The complete Christmas living room set is by HJM Designs and is currently available at the Perfect 10 Event at the Cookie Jar. It comes with a rez system so it’s fairly easy to set up or you can just rez and move items about. It’s discounted at the event for half price at only $199L.

Hope you have a fabulous Saturday!

Every day is a new beginning

“Being happy sometimes means letting go of what’s gone, being grateful for what remains and looking forward to what is coming.”

Ever been in such a bad mood that you get tired of yourself for feeling that way? I know that I do and I’ve been in such a bad mood lately. Then I was sitting there last night thinking you make it hard on yourself. I think most often we know what we have to do, it’s taking the courage to do it.

If you need to do some deep thinking… get yourself a country setting like this from Shutter Field and settle down and relax. Guaranteed to help you find an attitude adjustment.

Thanks for listening!

Room 144

On November 15, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, HuntsLeave a comment

This residence might look familiar to you as I’ve posted a similar one in the past, except this is the super sized version for those of us who need more space. Room 144 is by The [Den.], and is released at the 6th Republic. It’s pretty roomy as you can see. The size is 27x 33 x7m and has a land impact of 83, and is materials ready so best experienced under the advanced lighting.

If you would still like to enjoy a little of the Fall decor before jumping into the Christmas season or at least until Thanksgiving is over. Then here are a few items from ongoing November hunts that you might enjoy that end November 3oth.

Even the dog got a treat!

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater

On October 30, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, Hunts, ToddleeDoo2 Comments

Featuring a few things today. The first are these assortment of pumpkins by Dysfunctional Designs, which are available at their store. I think they’re absolutely great and like all the odd shapes and colors. Someone gave us a large pumpkin the other day so I’ve been searching for recipes and found a few for pumpkin bread and one for pumpkin french toast. I’m wondering how the latter is going to taste.

Little me is wearing some cute shoes by Buglets, which are texture change using a HUD. They are called skelly as they have a little skeleton adornment. You get six colors and their free gift is this sign. They are available at the annual Trunk or Treat event for kids and will run until November 18th. Most of the stores participating also have a free gift along with their item, so make sure to check it out.

The fruit trees in the background are the latest releases by Aphrodite Shops. There are several fruit versions of trees and they come with a texture changing menu for the leaves and have falling autumn leaves and even come with the wind system giving you a bit of realism.

There are a few events gifts that I am showing as well, so check out the credits below.
