Always take time to make a joyful mess

Yesterday, in organizing my photos for the week I realized that I got several showcasing items at Bloom. Now if you’re familiar with this event, then you know it’s a short event that lasts just a little over two weeks with doors closing at the end of the month. I had the pleasure of blogging the event and it’s always great to be a part of an event like this. The downside sometimes can be when you also have a lot of sponsors at the event and you try to squeeze everyone in.

Saying that I’ll be doing a second post again tomorrow. Today’s picture is showcasing a release by DRD for Bloom. The cake counter is messy and reminiscent of when I bake, because I like bringing everything out, the recipe book, the ingredients, the bowls and baking dish.

The counter is 9 land impact and comes with animated poses. You get to clean, whisk, beat and read the recipe book — great for role-play. The rest of the items used are listed below.

There are so many events it can be overwhelming at times. I try and wait until after the first week at least. It’s quieter and easier to get into and lets you enjoy the shopping experience a lot better. If you haven’t already made it over to Bloom, now is the time to go as this event will end at the end of the month. There are some amazing home and garden decor items to be found, like this umbrella and blanket by DaD -Virtual Living-. It’s available in both pg and adult and can be found in 3 colors. It’s a gorgeous piece to have in your spring garden or even for the coming summer months.

The rest of the decor is by Cheeky Pea, and its Faith gacha out now at the Epiphany. You really can’t go wrong with any of the pieces you get, as they can be used together or in other decor settings.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Nature in art

Good morning everyone! I’m off today, it’s a mental health day. It’s one of the pluses in the firm that I work for as it’s a tremendously busy office and when there is no holiday in that given month we get a Monday off for mental health. I may work well under pressure, but it’s sort of nice to be able to sleep in on a Monday. If I learned any lesson from my long tenure at my previous job that I am applying today, it is leave the job behind when you leave for the day and weekend.

It really helps keep the balance, especially if you’re just an employee and not the owner of the business or the one who signs the checks and hold the responsibility for the company. I was the latter, in a medium size company of about 35 employees with a budget over $10 million and ultimately responsible for every decision made. I don’t miss that part of the job.

I know you all didn’t come here to read about my personal life, so on to today’s picture showcase. It’s decor from sponsors participating at Collabor88, Uber and PocketGacha. I had a little fun with this one. If you’re a blogger, then you might know it can be quite a challenge sometimes to get as much as you can into a post, not only in a concentrated effort to show as much as you can. It’s also what we bloggers do to make sure we meet monthly obligations. This can be especially harder when decor is not at the same themed event. I took advantage of the angle of this lodge to showcase items today.

Enjoy!

The weather today was pretty great for being outdoors and I spent most of my morning running errands and doing some shopping. I like this time of year when it’s not unbearably hot or oppressive like it usually gets in the summer months. I did have a yummy cannolo siciliano gelato to keep me cool. That’s my version of staying hydrated! I do hope everyone is taking some time to enjoy the weekend.

Today’s scene is all about enjoying the good weather outdoors. Take a look below to find out where you can find all this wonderful stuff to make your own outdoors space to hang out.
