Preparation for the Easter Bunny

On March 13, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, ToddleeDooLeave a comment

The topic of Easter has come up in some of our family gatherings many of times as we talk about how certain holidays are treated in America. While most know that Easter is a day in which the resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated, in accordance with Christian belief, it is not what most people talk of.

It’s mostly about the Easter bunny, the chocolate eggs and the Easter basket full of treats for the kids. I am not implying that we forget what this holiday means or that it’s not celebrated in some way like going to a church service. It just means it’s not an in your face topic of discussion for the most part.

With 9 nephews and 4 nieces who are now well over 18 I’ve had my share of contributing to the Easter basket. Some of them have children now and well they’re on their own!

Aphrodite Shops has everything you need to help you prepare for the Easter holiday, especially with baskets for children and adults. I am showing several items from different baskets, which are detailed below. I’m also showing some furniture in Spring colors by [CIRCA] if you’re looking to redecorate for the season.

Happy Sunday!

It’s time to be happy

The song Summer Nights from the movie Grease seems to float to my mind when I do a summer post. It’s got some cute lyrics.. summer loving had me a blast, oh yeah.. summer loving happened so fast… met a boy cute as can be… summer days drifting away.. and so on. Chuckles. I think popcorn is awaiting me soon.

Showing another hair from the Hair Fair. This one is from Pr!tty and what really drew me to it was the long stresses of hair that go off to the side. It just felt and looked very natural to me that I couldn’t resist making it one of my first purchases. I was happy too as it wasn’t until recently that I found myself being able to wear this designer’s hair again. I must have a big forehead as most of the hairs didn’t fit and required that I make changes to it and my face is the one body part that I do not like to change when it comes to making small modifications to my shape.

I’m wearing one of the Canicule Collection bikinis by MoDANNA that is available at this new round of anyBODY, an event that is geared towards everything applier. It is an applier bikini and there are appliers for just about all the mesh bodies and more including clothing layers. I’m wearing the banana version though you can find many colors to even mix and match.

The other item I want to point out is this new summer cabana by Aphrodite. The “Summer Happy Place” is available at Swank, a new monthly event on the grid. It has well over 100 animations and has a land impact of 15 and comes with rezzable props.

All the right fixes for a summer loving of your own and maybe you’ll meet a cutie too.

Never wanted you, only I do

The doors have officially opened now for the Hair Fair and be prepared for all that comes with a popular event. The good news is there are so many great hairs and the selection is quite big for you to choose from. It took me a couple hours to just go through each of the demos and place all those I liked into a maybe folder. Then afterwards go back and pull the ones I definitely wanted to buy right now into a separate folder. It sounds like I’m terribly organized. I’m not, just gotten smarter. Laughs.

For me it was hard to choose between wanting a fun hair that maybe I’ll only use one or two times versus a more practical one I will use more often. I say do a little of both! It’s all for a worthy cause, as with every transaction a certain amount of proceeds goes to Wigs for Kids.

While I was fortunate enough to get in with early access I do recommend joining the demo group and try the hairs beforehand. Then you can avoid the lag monster and just run in to grab all those hairs you want. To make it even more easier for you the Hair Fair blog has done a wonderful job of listing all the stores and map guide that I am just going to direct you straight to it. You can just find the store and click to teleport you to that location where the store is located. This is where area search can come in handy too.

I’m wearing this cute hair from Vanity Fair and a style that I absolutely love in real life if I could get my hair to work with me. The other nice benefit of the hair fair is all the gifts that you can pick up from just about every store that is participating in the fair. The sunglasses I am wearing is the gift from LeLutka at the hair fair.

Have a great Saturday no matter what you do.

Roots to remind you where you’re from

Doing a quick post to show you this family tree decor item that Dysfunctional Designs has created for today’s Fifty Linden Friday. The top I’m wearing is also out for today’s special pricing of fifty lindens.

I’ve always been fascinated with our family history and always enjoy hearing the stories told by my grandmother or other older members of the family. It’s on my father’s side of the family where it gets a little sketchy as most of the older generation are long gone. I’ve been wanting to do that ancestry DNA testing to get a glimpse of the ethnic mix in our family and hopefully gather more details on our family history. Has anyone ever done this testing? I’d be curious to know.
