Sentimental reasons

On June 21, 2017 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

Happy Wednesday! Today I bring you some more decor from all over the grid. The first being the newest gacha release by Haikei called “Sentimental Reason” and it’s absolutely delightful. The rare is the actual building itself with some decor pieces that I put around the room so I’m going to link you over to the gacha key so you can identify them by the picture. I’ve also marked them below in credits at the end of the numbers.

I’m also showing the latest release by Anhelo for the new event “Man Cave” geared towards men. The decorated wood chest with the deer heads and lovely frame above the chair. I’m also showcasing a few various pieces from some of the designers that participated at the Arcade — Ariskea, Aria, Pixel Mode, Sari-Sari and [Commoner] as well as Plaaka.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and have a great one!!

Nothing says home like the smell of baking

On January 11, 2017 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Gacha, Home2 Comments

There was a time that I really enjoyed baking and did a lot of it as I always loved having some coffee dessert on hand for family and friends when they visited, even though I didn’t drink coffee myself. I still enjoy it even if I bake mostly for a holiday or a special occasion these days. When I moved it was an opportunity to go through the the collection of baking pans, measurement cup sets, gadgets and tools that I acquired over the years. I downsized considerably.

It’s no different here in Second Life, where I’ve collected a lot of kitchen ware over the years. I’m just not ready to downsize here just yet. It’s all this wonderful realistic pieces of home goods, baking ware and gadgets that makes our kitchens come to life. I’m not disappointed with the newest releases by Ionic and Serenity Style. I mixed both with some old gacha favorites to put this kitchen scene together. There’s just too many pieces to reference, but all items used are mentioned below.

I’m also featuring a new hair release by eXxEsS called Citron, which is a long hair style even if you can’t see the back. It includes the new “Breeze” technology that animates the hair and a texture HUD that has 56-single tone hair colors. The lovely dress with a lace pattern is from Noche and it’s available in several colors at The Liaison Collaborative. Make sure to go check out this event, it’s one of the best for home, garden, fashion and a whole lot more.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, night or whatever it is for you right now.

Someone has to clean up the mess

On October 13, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, ToddleeDooLeave a comment

I had such a hard time getting this picture done yesterday that I think my days of dual logging are about over. Normally, if I put my settings down to the minimum on both viewers I can get by just long enough to take the picture and log one of us off.

As much as I tried yesterday to get myself in the picture I kept crashing, hence asking one of my siblings to come over for a quick shot. Thanks Paris!

I am featuring a few more fall decor items today. The topiary’s with pumpkins are by [CIRCA]. Not pictured as part of this set is a bench with leaves that has sit animations. The texture on the planters can be changed by menu. The other item that [CIRCA] has available is the hanging bamboo chair that also comes with texture change options for the fabric and comes with single and couple sits.

Little me is also wearing a sweater and leggings by Little Ones Couture, that is available at this round of All The Little Things.

In honor of Mexican Independence Day…

On September 16, 2014 By AlexaIn Events1 Comment

Today is Mexican Independence Day and I couldn’t go without honoring this holiday in some way. While it is something thought of and often acknowledged on this day, it’s not typically a holiday that many American born Mexican families in the USA celebrate. That doesn’t mean we’re not proud of our heritage. Most of us have a great appreciation for our Mexican culture and the homeland of our ancestors. If anything we definitely enjoy our Mexican food.

Viva Mexico!!

I couldn’t resist doing this last picture and thanking my in-world English sister who stepped in to help.
