In Your Shoes Fair in support of the Mexican Diabetes Association

In your Shoes Poster

It is estimated that 300 million people around the world between the ages of 20 and 79 suffer from diabetes mellitus. Most of them do not become aware of it early enough to receive appropriate treatment.

If diabetes mellitus goes untreated and is not under control, it can cause serious health problems and even death. One of them is “diabetic foot,” which occurs by uncontrolled glucose levels and other factors that come into play in people with hypertension and diabetes, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. These cause damage to the vessels and nerves, and the person will develop health complications sooner or later.

In your Shoes is an exclusive shoe fair, 30% of the proceeds from the show will be donated to the Mexican Diabetes Association in support with Virtual Miss Latin America organization, we can make this possible.

The fair will last for a week from August 14 to August 21, 2016.

~En Español~

Alrededor de 300 millones de personas en el mundo entre las edades de 20 a 79 sufren de diabetes mellitus. Lamentablemente, la mayoría no es diagnosticada a tiempo, por lo que no recibe el tratamiento adecuado.

La diabetes mellitus es una enfermedad de sumo cuidado; si no se controla o trata a tiempo, puede ocasionar problemas muy graves e incluso la muerte. Uno de estos problemas es el pie diábético, que aparece cuando existen niveles inadecuados de glucosa en sangre y otros factores que concurren con frecuencia en personas con diabetes −como hipertensión arterial e hipercolesterolemia− que provocan daño en los vasos y nervios que pueden producir complicaciones a mediano y largo plazo.

En sus zapatos es una feria exclusiva de zapatos, 30% de las ganancias de la feria seran donadas a la Asociación Mexicana de diabetes, en apoyo con la organización Miss Virtual Latinoamérica , podemos hacer esto posible.

La feria tendra duración de una semana del 14 de Agosto al 21 de Agosto de 2016.

Why Grey? Because my ideas are colorful

Tomorrow the newest round of On9 begins and besides fashion there is always a few home and garden stuff at this event.  I’m showing a couple items today that you can find. The first is the industrial tray by Decor Junction, it has a magazine, vase and two steaming cups of coffee to get your morning started or to finish off your evening.

The other item is the white apothecary cabinet by New Church.  It’s also available in 4 other wood colors and stands at about 2m tall.  It can be resized, though you’re cautioned that it may affect this item’s land impact.  If you do resize, you need to make sure doors are set as closed, as they will reset to accommodate the new dimensions as you resize it.  It also allows you to link items together with the cabinet, helpful instructions are provided if you do this.

Last item being shown is the Livingstone sofa by Dad Designs, available at The Crossroads. It’s got a land impact of 13 and is available in both a pg and adult version. Both have an abundance of single, couple and family animations.

Away from the city, the countryside beckons

Schultz 008ps2

Good Sunday everyone.  I hope it’s been a non-eventful one or even an eventful one of the better kind. Mine has been rather quiet other than I broke the screen of my phone, so it was a bit of a nuisance to deal with.

Today I am featuring items from [Schultz Bros.], a creator/builder that I will be blogging for. Their products are all original mesh creations, very high detailed and what more can you ask for then at a low prim cost.  They have some of the most fantastic historical and abandoned buildings.  If you are not familiar with them, you really ought to go check their store out.

I’m featuring their latest creations, which is the Gardens House Gacha set currently at The Chapter Four.  It has 2 rares and 14 commons that I’ve listed below by their number. I like doing that, because it can be somewhat frustrating to try to identify the items that go with a gacha, especially if not grouped together in a picture like this.  Plus it helps me identify it later if and when I want to use it again.  My flickr and blog have become my source for finding items in my inventory!

Below credits is some helpful information provided by the creator to help you make the best use of this set.  The miniature replica of the house is not another item in the set, but rather just a copy that I made and downsized it to be the dogs home. The idea came when I was trying to give the picture some balance and was thinking to put out another large building so I put another copy of the house. It would have worked except when I tried to rez the next thing I was short on prims, which meant I had to rethink my idea. It lead to minimizing the house down into a pets residence, which gave me a chuckle as I was recalling a recent experience that my niece was sharing during her hours of volunteering at one of these non-profit animal shelters.

She talked of how each dog had its own dog house along with a pool and other comforts. Making us laugh as she is rather a very good storyteller. She’s like what pet wants to get adopted when they’re living in that kind of luxury? I sure wouldn’t! The homes were set up like a whole neighborhood and the dogs would be sitting on their front porches as if talking to each other. You can’t help and smile at the image.

The other item that I am showing today is the olive tree by Little Branch.  It’s available at this next round of The Liaison Collaborative.  It’s 4 seasons, so on a click you can pick the season you want. Go check it out!

Enjoy the rest of what’s left of your weekend!

and will be available in-world @ our new store location after the event ends.
Pull price is 60L.

Everything is hand made, 100% mesh.
All items are No Copy, Modify, Transfer.
All items, when sized bigger, will most likely increase the land impact… obviously 🙂
Please keep in mind, I don’t transfer items to Copy / Mod versions.

**All items not listed have no notes, or require no additional knowledge**

01. The Gardeners House RARE – Be aware that when changing wallpaper, you will not be able to get the previous wallpaper back. Also, changing the left wall will also change the right wallpaper with it. Same with front and back.  **I would suggest tinting the walls to a color (use light color), if you’d like to change the look & atmosphere of the interior of the house**

05. Mailbox – does not close.

08. Wheelbarrow – Features texture change. Touch to fill with dirt, touch again to remove.  If you plan on never having dirt, you may simply delete the script inside.

10. – 14. – All plants, please read. These were designed to be placed with the stems and small sign slightly in the ground. The most complex to place might be 14. Carrots. I’d suggest keeping the tops of the carrots slightly above the dirt. Also, linking 2 plants will keep them at 1 LI together. The exception is the Herb garden, as that one is 1 LI even.

15. Garden Path – The path comes wide, and is actually 2 PIECES. You can unlink them, (or edit linked parts for us lazy people lol), and move the other piece in front of the other to make very long path. The Land impact will remain 1 LI, just remember to link them back together 🙂

16. Tea Cup Bird Feeder – If you’d like to use the bird feeder without the stand,you will need to make the string & metal stand texture 100% transparent, then simply place it on whatever surface you desire 🙂

Thank you again & if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know!

Walking away from those things that no longer serve me

0033ps

The words seem to be stuck in my head this morning as I get to writing this post.  I had one of those nights where I slept like a log, but then woke up with a dream playing in my head and so I feel a little sluggish still even if half my day is almost gone.  I have racing thoughts going on of what I need to accomplish later today in between the two appointments I have this afternoon The list being checked off and yet you have this thought niggling in the back of your mind that you’re forgetting something.  In my case nothing new. I am quite forgetful already as it is.

Anyway, it’s Friday and hope some of you are off to a good start for the weekend ahead. Today I am showing another prop by Industry 7, the City Wall Set that is part of their Urban Studio gacha at The Epiphany.  I’m only showing a partial view of the wall, plus I put together two side by side for this scene.  The other item is trashcan prop with the catchy saying.

The other item that I am featuring today are the Triteleia heels by Empire. These over the knee lace up heels are just the kind of shoes a girl needs for a Friday night. Empire makes some of the hottest shoes in-world and if you like these then join the VIP Group for a minimal cost of only $499L to stay up to date on new releases and get some amazing group gifts like I’m wearing.  These are made to fit several bodies, the Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Physique, Venus and Maitreya, which I am using.  It includes a hud with 2o colors to choose from, so it’s really a great bargain.  I look forward to showing some more fabulous shoes from this creator in the near future.

The Tribeca Loft

“There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world.  It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher.” ~ Henry Van Dyke

Dad Jian 014ps

It’s been a while since I’ve decorated to this extent, but I was in the mood to do it with this newly released loft by DaD Design at the Monsieur Chic, a new men’s high fashion shopping event that will also have some furniture.  The Tribeca loft is a limited edition item and only 100 of these will be sold, so grab yours quickly.  More information on the loft is below the credits and I have also included a photo collage of the loft itself.

Another item that is being featured today is the cream and brown armchairs by DaD Design as well.  They come in pg and adult versions and are just so inviting with some very nice sit, cuddle animations in the pg versions shown here and can fit both an indoor or an outdoor setting.  These are available now at the Monsieur Chic event as well.

The last items being featured are the curious cats by Jian.  Now you must understand that I am not a cat person in either world, so it’s kind of hard to call them adorable.  Though Jian does a great job in creating some cute animals for us to enjoy the experience of having pets in-world.  Apart from stationary cats there are wandering ones that walk freely and then clinging cats for those who want to carry them around.  These curious cats are available for the new round of The Gacha Garden.  I’m showcasing a couple of common ones, a few rares and also the seed of inspiration gift that is received after a player does 20 pulls on a single machine.  I’ve put the event website below the credits, if you want more information and want to learn how to play.

The rest of the items used are from past events and a considerable amount of them are gachas.

Thank you everyone for blessing and enriching me with your comments in some of my blog posts.  It’s always very nice to read what you have to say, even it’s a simple hello sometimes.  It’s encouraging to me as I continue to explore this world of blogging.

While I like to see picture blogs too…  personally, I love to read stories shared from both worlds, as they offer a glimpse of you, the writer, your personality, the real person that sits behind the screen who shares their joys, sorrows or what inspires them in their pictures and every day life.

Today I am not blogging for anyone specifically, as the last days have been rather busy for me that I didn’t have much time to do any photos for the weekend. This picture has been in the making for a while now.  I was shopping one day when I spotted this dress for little me, which is quite authentic to my Mexican heritage. I couldn’t resist buying and knew that I wanted us to take a picture together.  I hadn’t really looked since then, which is probably now a good few weeks, and not seen anything until now when I found this top I’m wearing at a recent event.

After a few crashes for dual logging here is the final result.

Enjoy what’s left of your Sunday!

The day is still young

Industry 042

My grandmother turned 83 today and we will be surprising her for dinner.  She thinks she’s going out to dinner with just my uncle and his wife and their son. Instead she will be greeted with several of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and maybe even a great great one.

My grandmother is a gutsy woman who has a lot of energy and has a memory that stretches wide and yonder.  A woman after my own heart. I wonder what she would say if I showed her some of these pictures of me in tattoos.  Chuckles.

Speaking of which I am wearing a tattoo by Endless Pain, a version 2 of their Moth tattoo.  I’m also wearing Alyssum heels by Empire and an add-on piece to the thigh, which are available at the gacha event Epiphany.

Unkindness 2 July 2016

The background in the first picture is from Industry7, all gacha items also to be found at the Epiphany.  The Urban Studio is a great collection of props that are fantastic for photos.

The bottom photo was a submission to unKindness, which was selected as their feature photo on the LTD Magazine for July/August.  The magazine is out now and can be found here.  I add these awards and/or recognition’s to my feature tab on top in both of my blogs to share, but also as a way to recall these little accomplishments along the way.  I had three group covers during this month along with this magazine coverage as well as several of my photos selected with my permission to be used on market place.

Thank you all for continuing to support my blogging endeavors.

Cottage BonneTerre

M&M 002

From the same creators that brought you the BeauRoche, that I blogged back in April, M&M Creations now bring you Cottage BonneTerre, which means “Good Soil”.  The creator writes… “We all know those cute little creatures with big flat feet who have great adventures all over the fantasy world. They live in even so cute homes with round doors and a lot of wood from the forest.

Personally, I thought of the movie Shrek and his little home that he had to bend down to get into.  M&M Creations has now made this cottage for big creatures. No need for bending.  The home is dug into a grassy hill with flowers and to help visualize the concept I did some landscaping using the Sassafras and Aspen trees by Little Branch, available now at ongoing events.  Both trees are seasonal trees that on touch change to the season you want. I also used a backyard swamp by TLC, modding the grass parts of it the same as the cottage so that they blended together and then used wild grass from Skye.

The whole process for the cottage took three month from inspiration to modeling to completion.  Below the credits I have included some additional details from the creator on the cottage.
