When they go low, we go high…

I think the title quote from one of Michelle Obama’s speech will be my motto for this year.  She did a marvelous job in describing that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully you don’t stoop to their level… no, instead when they go low, we go high. Let it pertain to anyone who chooses the low road… even including those you care for.  Forgive them not because they apologized or will even acknowledge they hurt you. No, instead choose to do it for yourself.. to free yourself from that negativity and always continue to love.

Have a great Saturday!

After several attempts to get a scene and picture completed I finally made it here. It’s just one of those days, so today I will leave you to peruse the credits for what I am showcasing.

I do want to apologize if anyone tried to use my landmark to The Crossroads with my previous post.  For some unbeknownst reason it didn’t take the event landmark and instead you landed on my empty work platform. I’ll have to make sure I pay more attention when I add the link.

Have a great one!

With today’s post I decided to do a little of the old with the new from Merak Furniture Co. that I am showcasing today. If you’re not familiar with the store Merak, it is an original mesh store that specializes in furniture and decor.

I’ve blogged a few of their items from events in previous posts, but I’m happy to be blogging for them now so I look forward to showcasing more of their stuff in the near future.  They just released a Cinderella Set that was inspired by “the intuitive empath personality of Cinderella.. compassionate, diligent, determined…”  The vintage set contains an armoire with a land impact of 7, with inner color options and animations and props. It also includes a basket at 2 land impact that has both a rezzable and hold version with a few poses. It’s really great for that role-play realism that you want at times.  Available now at The Crossroads Event.

Have a great rest of day/night!

I’m delighted to be showing one of the latest new releases by DaD Designs.  This Lilliput cabin is a simple one room building, but just gorgeous with all the windows, which you will see below credits the creators intention behind that idea.  The cabin is available in two versions — one with a deck that has single and couple cuddle animations and then one that can be placed on the ground.

The other item that I’m featuring is the window and bed frame clutter by ChiC buildings.  A bit of clutter can really make a home and adds a bit of realism, or makes for some great backdrop for photos. It’s available at The Draftsman Event, which is ongoing until February 17th.

Love, kisses & Valentine wishes

How many people feel about Valentines Day depends on whether they are single or in some type of relationship.  They either love or dread it and I’m sure there are a few out there that don’t pay it any attention at all.  Though if you’re one of those that loves and you’re looking for some decor to create that special moment then Dreamscapes Art Gallery will help get you ready with plenty of decor and gifts to make that day very special.

I’m also showing another pug by JIAN, which is the rare one in the Love Pugs gacha at The Gacha Garden.  While not shown the pug is sitting on a small stool.  The pink teddy bear is one of the many bears that Aphrodite Shops has to also help you surprise that special one.  The bowl of chocolate kisses is by Mesh India and it’s part of their Valentine gacha at Cosmopolitan.  The blooming flowers on the cabinet with pillows is by (luc) boutique and it’s part of their Vision of Hope gacha available at the main store.

Happy Saturday!

I don’t have so much time this morning as I’m on my way out for a few hours to get some personal things done, but I really wanted to post before I left.  I’ll be very brief and leave you with credits for now.

First, I’m really excited that I’m going to be blogging for Anhelo and look forward to showing some of their new releases in the future. I’ll give a little more of an introduction later in case you’re not familiar with them.  I’m also showing a new gacha of the love pugs by JIAN for The Gacha Garden.  I put the creators notes below credits for all the pugs and you can find the key here.  New thigh boots by Empire that can be found at Kustom9 and new hair style by eXxEsS at their main store. The dress is at Tres Chic by KC and rush because the event is about to end.

I hope in my rush I didn’t have any typos.. Thanks everyone!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Here are some helpful tips on how to use each pug in the Love Pugs set..

━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★ RARES★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━

All rares in this set texture change both the pup between the four coat colors and have accessory texture options as well!

━ 1. Free Kisses
This is a rezzed item with an animation for the pug and an avatar when it is sat on.
When not seated, the owner can also change the pug’s coat texture.

To get licked, right click and “sit” on the object.
Your AV will cycle through the animation and automatically be unseated.

━ 2. Sleepy Treater
This is a decorative rezzed mesh item.
Click on it to get a resize and texture change menu for the pug and blanket.
You can also turn on or off the pug’s animation cycle.

━ 3. Pug Wagon
This is a worn avatar accessory that will animate your avatar’s arm to hold it.
You can also click on the wagon to get texture menus for both pugs and the wagon, turn on or off the animations of the pugs and resize it.
━━━━━━━━━━ ◐ COMMONS ◑ ━━━━━━━━━━

━ Companion Pugs (8, 9, 10, 11)
These are worn animated avatar accessories.
Right click them in your inventory and choose “Add.”
If for some reason they get added to the wrong attachment point, you will want to right click on them and choose “Attach to” and then “Avatar Center”.
You will need to reposition them to match where your avatar’s feet touch the floor.
These will walk, run, and idle through various animations along with your avatar.

━ Wanderer Pugs (12, 13, 14, 15)
These pugs are meant to be rezzed to let run around!
Drop them out on the ground and click them to begin. You will get options for radius, wander and sound.
Sound turns your pug’s barking on or off.
Radius sets the distance in which you pup can wander from the point where you turn it ‘on’.
Wander turns your animals ‘on’ and lets it run around!
Turning off wander on your animals should return it to its original starting position.

━ Held Pug (16, 17, 18, 19)
These are worn animated avatar accessories that will override your arm animation.
They default to your right arm, but if you attach them to your left fore arm they will automatically swap to animate that arm instead and vice versa. You may need to reposition your pug in your arm if you swap arms.
You can click on your pug to get a menu for textures for the flower, resizing and to turn animations on or off.

 

Lazy weekend ahead

Being just a day away from an actual lazy weekend it seems THOR had the grandest idea first with this “Lazy Weekend Gacha & Skybox” Set at Cosmopolitan.  It’s rich dark colors are inviting enough for me — makes me want to cuddle up and take a nap already.  There are 18 pieces to the gacha set and that does not include the skybox, which can be purchased on its own. I have provided all the details that were given by the creator just below credits on land impact and some of the features that you will find with some of the decor.

I’m also featuring a leather sofa and chair by Shutter Field in collaboration with Decor Junction for The Crossroads, for the new round that starts tomorrow. This set was created for the “homme” section, a set for men and therefore includes a lot of male sits, plus female as well as male couple cuddles.  There are additional versions that include adult at the event.

Have a great one!

This gacha set is composed by 18 items (for the complete setup), all modifiable and all transferable.
– Lamps with script that allows turning on and off the light. They have a menu for features: hold the click on for 5 seconds for have it, or just change the note-card inside for have a different setup about light/glow/color etc by default.

– The sofa and the stool have animations poses (twice for the sofa, single for the stool)
– The stove and the trunk have a menu for open/close them.
– The turntable have a tri-touch system, so: touching the plexiglas it open and close, touching the long play it start to turn on or off, touching the lil arm it have an animation so it go on the long play.

At last, touching the wood part, you can listen an entire song. It is modifiable, so you can add your music too, just looking inside as any split of music is called (before the name-after the series number-at last the exact timing). It will recognize the song directly and will put in the menu, giving the choice to listen to it (even many songs).

 

Pueblo Maravilla

Most of you know who have been following me for a while now might know from my ramblings that I have a Mexican heritage.  My mother was from Mexico, but she’s been here since she was a child and married my father born in this country as well as my siblings and me.  We have a bit of a laugh each time we think about it as each of us were born in different parts of the country.  From the far west coast in the state of Washington to the southern part of Texas and the eastern coast of the Carolinas and that’s just three of us!  I think the only place they left untouched was the north eastern part.

I wholeheartedly embrace both cultures and read and speak both languages and write only minimal Spanish.  The part that often takes people by surprise and only makes my family poke fun at me is that I don’t eat a lot of Mexican food. I am not talking about the more commercialized foods like tacos and enchiladas  — it’s more like ‘fideo con pollo‘ or ‘frijoles a la charra‘ that while I can eat it my taste buds would prefer not to.  It’s like anything else some things you like others you don’t.

So when I saw this Pueblo Viejo gacha set by unKindness for the Epiphany I was really looking forward to putting together a scene as it felt like there was an affinity to it.  It made me remember some of my trips into Mexico through the border towns of Tijuana from trips to San Diego and Reynosa from a trip to Texas. While those places didn’t look so much like this it had remnants of this.

I hope you enjoy my little set and all the pieces have varying land impact from 1 to 34 for the rare church.

Enjoy!

Happy Monday!! Or lets hope it is — the day is young or at least it is here.  I’m back again today with some more great stuff from the Draftsman Event.  It’s ongoing until February 17th, so you have time to go check it out if you haven’t already been.

I’m showing the Victorian outbuilding by Galland Homes, a creator of high quality prefab homes and furnishings since 2007.  The outbuilding is 100% original mesh that has a land impact of 28.  It is materials ready, copy-able and modifiable.  Great for your landscaping decor.

007ps

I’m also featuring the piano and stool by Kei’s that is available in both a pg and adult version. It’s available in a vintage finish and a wood, with a land impact of 8 for the piano and 1 for the stool.

Until later!
