Tropical paradise getaway

On By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Gacha, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

Happy Thursday and one day closer to the weekend! Unfortunately, I can’t get into the mode of relaxing just yet, because I have somewhat of a busy weekend ahead. These days I seem to be always rushing off somewhere as I will be shortly once I post this, so I’ll get right into it. Today’s post is all about fashion and home decor.  The new hair is by Wasabi Pills, a sleek rigged mesh hair called Dahlia that’s pulled back. Great hair for headpieces, which I enjoy using from time to time. You can find it at Uber.

The top and skirt are by Blanco Originals and come in various colors, and perfect for taking a stroll out on the beach with the two slits on the side.  These pieces along with the Cubana necklace by Shanghai that comes in three color options set in gold are at Tres Chic.

Then last I’m showcasing a new gacha set by Serenity Style, which is a new sponsor that I added to my roster of home and garden decor. If you’re not familiar with their stuff, then hopefully you will come to know it as I’ll be showing a lot more. The Counting Waves gacha is made up of the bungalow, and all the furniture around it not including the modular dock and plants.  As you can see perfect for creating that tropical paradise.

Last I’m also using a pose by :LW: Poses at Tres Chic.  I am using only the female pose from the couples pose titled, “You have a choice,” which you can see I made a choice to go at it alone.

Have a great Thursday!

Hello everyone!  I’m here later than usual due to a change in my normal routine. While I’m not set to any specific time when it comes to blogging my thoughts are that it is worthwhile to adhere to a schedule as it gives us a bit of discipline and for me it’s also been a good tool to stay focused and not fall behind.

I won’t be long winded. I promise. It just means you will have to peruse credits to find everything that my picture is showing.  The items being showcased are at the Relay for Life Home & Garden Expo, which ends on June 4th.  I hope you’ve had a chance to go and support the worthy cause behind this annual event. Funds are raised for Relay for Life of Second Life, that ultimately goes to support the efforts of the American Cancer Society through it’s signature event Relay for Life.

Have a great one!

Summer Camp awaits

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, General, Home, Landscaping5 Comments

Morning everyone!  Today I am super excited as I’m doing my first post as one of the official bloggers for the Arcade.  This is just one of a few previews that I will be doing to show you what’s going to be available at the Arcade once it opens on June 1st.  Yes, its just a couple of days away and I hope you’re all revved up and ready to go, because there are some fabulous goodies coming our way.

The majority of items here are from Hive, who has the “Summer Camp” gacha that has 3 rares and 14 commons plus the reward prize for playing the machine 25 times.  It’s an amazing set as you can see, but take a look at the key here to see all the pieces to the set.  This machine is L$50 per play.

Then Mutresse is back giving us the “Mr FixIt” gacha, which is absolutely hilarious as I’m sure we all have men in our lives who know how to fix it all or not.  As in my case I have the Mr FixIt asleep.  Slacker.  The gacha set includes 3 rares and 11 commons at L$50 per play.  You can find the gacha key here to find your Mr FixIt.

The bike is part of the “Beach Cruiser” gacha set by Brocante. This set has 12 commons and 3 rares at L$50 per play.  Bikes are attachable, to view the complete set view the key here.

The last items being featured are these cute doggies, which are one of two sets by JIAN.  The “Playful Pibbles” gacha is a 19 piece set made up of 3 rares and 16 commons at L$50 per play plus the additional reward price for the 25 pull play. See the key here to get all the details on this gacha.

Plus visit the official Arcade website for all the news and to see the guide under the shop tab so you can begin to plan your visit.

Have a great one!

**Landmark will be provided once the Arcade opens**

There is purpose in your season of waiting

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day for us here in America. Normally it’s a relaxing day for us and usually we do a cookout, though not this year. My siblings are further away now with making moves to other states, so getting together isn’t as easy.  That aside.. today is a day of remembrance for those who served in our armed services protecting our country. In this day and age and from what we see all over the world it’s never been more important to feel blessed for those men and woman who served and those who serve now.

I wish everyone a fantastic and peaceful day wherever you are.  Today’s post is all about Cosmopolitan.  If you’re not familiar with this event, it’s one that takes place every two week bringing you an array of new releases in clothes, furniture, poses and everything that makes our lives here in Second Life a little more enjoyable. This round will end on June 4th, so you still have time to grab some fabulous goodies.

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

Riverside Cottage

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

Morning everyone, even though it’s just on the cusp of it turning noon so good afternoon too.  Just a quick post today to show the newest home by DaD Design. The Riverside Cottage is available at the Ultra Event.  It’s got a footage of 24,5 x 16,3 with a land impact of 39 including the plants. It has simple lines with large windows and the entrance has two planters with a selection of bushes and includes the walking path.

The lights on the walkway are from Needful Prims Store and are the donation item at the RFL Home & Garden Expo, so all proceeds from this go to benefit Relay for Life. The trees in this post are by DaD Design and are older landscaping items by this creator and slightly higher in prim, but still awesome for your landscaping needs.

Have a great one!

Edited: I forgot to mention the arbour bench by [Merak]. which is available at the main store. It has a land impact of 8 and comes with animations for female, male and couples as well some activities animations.

Hi Honey, I’m home

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home7 Comments

Happy Friday everyone. I hope it’s a good one for you so far. Mine is a bit slow going, as I’m feeling sort of lazy and now that I’ve had a fairly large breakfast I’m even more sluggish.  Even though I have quite a few things I need to work on in both worlds I’m taking the liberty to just take it easy today.

Yesterday, was also the anniversary of my dad’s passing and normally as I’ve done the last few years I usually dedicate a post to him.  Except this year I decided to forego it and keep my thoughts and memories to myself. I needed to get through on my own this time. I think that’s also why I’m feeling a bit slow going today as yesterday was an emotionally charged day not to mention an exhausting kind of week physically that I need to recharge the next couple of days.

I won’t keep you long, but will mention the few items that I am featuring in today’s post starting with the items from the travel preparations set by [Merak] at Tres Chic.  They’re scattered through the room, but the set includes the world map on the wall and below it on the side is the globe sitting on the storage box that’s also part of the set. The last two items are the flower bouquet laying on the chair and the travel planning items just below the cot.  The sofa and chairs and the pallet table including the fish decor and frame next to the map are by Dreamscapes Art Gallery.  You can find these items at the RFL Home & Garden Expo.  It’s one of two sets that are available.

Last items are by Q-Essentials, which are the industrial reclaiming hanging shelf and the wood cart that can be found at the main store.  Originally they were going to be at Draftsman, but for now this event has closed down.

Have a fabulous day or what’s left of it and hope you enjoyed all the pictures.

Wash away every bit of negative thoughts

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, HomeLeave a comment

Happy Wednesday! My apologies for no description with my picture yesterday, as I would have wanted to write a little something on the items I was featuring. I just didn’t have the energy resources for doing more.  I won’t go into details, though I’m experiencing some reoccurring health issues that hopefully will be sorted out soon.

Today I’m featuring items by Shutter Field in collaboration with Decor Junction, [Tia] and Tukinowaguma.  I’ll start with the decor, the garden room is available at this round of Shiny Shabby by Shutter Field/Decor Junction and it’s in two versions, white as shown and a rustic.  The other item by these same creators is the whale towel holder, which is a new release at Home & Garden Expo. It seemed to go perfect with the rest of the items being featured.

The bathroom set, which is made up of the silver bathtub, plank rug, canopy, chair, flower vase, side table and water jugs is by [Tia] for this round of Shiny Shabby. It’s a delightful set with only a 23 land impact.  You also get a texture change menu for the chair, giving you 7 options on colors.  The last item is the hair worn, which is the swept up new hair release by Tukinowaguma at the new round of Tres Chic.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
