Some days are just meant for grilling

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

I knew soon we would be seeing the fall colors start to make their way into Second Life.  This is one of my favorite seasons to photograph so I’m really looking forward to seeing some great home and garden decor for the season.

Today I am featuring items by Ionic at The Chapter Four round.  The Summer Island Gacha has 13 commons and 3 rares to the set.  To see the full set you can visit Ionic’s Flick here and here to see the complete gacha.  I’m also showing items at The Liaison Collaborative.  The country love sign is by [Merak], the copper and weathered lamps are by Plastik and the three pairs of decor rubber boots are by [ kunst ].

Everything used in the picture as always is included in credits.

Have a great one!

Morning everyone!  It’s all about home decor today with this post as I’m showing the latest gacha release by Haikei, the “Change Your Mind” at Kustom9.  Now Haikei didn’t identify the items in their description so find the key here. There are 8 commons and 1 rare being the building that I’m showcasing all the decor in.  The table with chairs, plant in corner, frames against the wall, books on side table and hanging lamp are all part of the gacha as well as the pillows on the floor.

The guacamole y la cerveza decor on the table is by Ionic and part of the “La Hacienda” gacha set at The Chapter Four. The hanging headboard and bed are a collaboration by Shutter Field & Decor Junction at the Home Show.

The latest release by JIAN is the Pupper Parlor Gacha at The Epiphany.  I’m showing only two yorkies of the 14 commons and 3 rares in the set, which you can find the key here.  Two other items from the Home Show include the tulip floor lamp by The Half Moon Market and the 50s record player by FIN *Relive The Fifties*.   Both of which can be found in other colors.  The last items being featured today are by Zen Creations, which are the shelf decor with the vase with flowers, tea candles and frame and then the candle on the table there. You can find both these items at the main store, not new releases but fairly recent.

Have a wonderful day!!

A quick post this morning as I try to get a jump start on my day to beat the afternoon rainstorm.  I love rain, just prefer not to be driving when it’s pouring. Anyways, showcasing some more summer type items mostly from this round of The Liaison Collaborative and sporting shoes and hair from the Arcade.

Have a fantastic Saturday!

Happy Saturday! I hope it’s a good day for those who have already been up and and about for a while.  I’ve been up a while too and had a traditional Mexican soup for breakfast.  I’ve spoken of this soup called menudo before as it’s a favorite of many family members that it has become a tradition to eat it on Christmas morning. Though it can be eaten at anytime and you can usually find all the ingredients at most grocery stores today or at these Latin stores where they sell Mexican products and fresh food, in which you can also find it already made to serve.  Though when you have a great cook like my mom our experience of tasting the food at places like this has been it’s pretty watered down. Though, don’t let that be a discouragement as it’s still pretty decent and it can be made super hot depending on how much red child peppers is put in it.

Anyways, my breakfast meal was definitely not what I set out to talk about this morning.  It’s all about the arcade right now with some other decor I’m showcasing in this picture.  I won’t go into complete details about everything shown, but will give some small insight.  22769 has brought us another beautiful set with their Lake House gacha at the Arcade. You can find the key to the gacha here.  It gives you a little detail on the whole set as well.  I particularly like the openness of the rare house and the whole wraparound feel to it, but all the pieces in the set are fantastically done and go well in almost any decor setting.

Soy is another creator at the Arcade and they bring us the Dream Aquarium gacha. The fish tank is one of the rares of two in the set that also includes eighteen commons.  The fabulous feature to this gacha is that the fishes have a realistic swimming system that works with the rare fish tank that also has some built in feature with lighting and sound to give you that realistic feel.

Then last I am showcasing items by Serenity Style that are at the main store and also at an event. The antique dolls are from the Emma Antique Doll Collection and are now at the main store. I really like these dolls as they bring up happy memories of dolls my grandmother used to collect and had around her home.  Check out the gacha key here, but definitely visit the store to check the rest of her awesome work.

The other gacha set by this same creator is the Home Stuffs gacha set at Shiny Shabby currently.  I’m only showing the pitcher, pile of dishes and basket of pillows from the set, so take a look at the key here so you know what else you can get if you play the machine.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!!

Summer Camp awaits

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, General, Home, Landscaping5 Comments

Morning everyone!  Today I am super excited as I’m doing my first post as one of the official bloggers for the Arcade.  This is just one of a few previews that I will be doing to show you what’s going to be available at the Arcade once it opens on June 1st.  Yes, its just a couple of days away and I hope you’re all revved up and ready to go, because there are some fabulous goodies coming our way.

The majority of items here are from Hive, who has the “Summer Camp” gacha that has 3 rares and 14 commons plus the reward prize for playing the machine 25 times.  It’s an amazing set as you can see, but take a look at the key here to see all the pieces to the set.  This machine is L$50 per play.

Then Mutresse is back giving us the “Mr FixIt” gacha, which is absolutely hilarious as I’m sure we all have men in our lives who know how to fix it all or not.  As in my case I have the Mr FixIt asleep.  Slacker.  The gacha set includes 3 rares and 11 commons at L$50 per play.  You can find the gacha key here to find your Mr FixIt.

The bike is part of the “Beach Cruiser” gacha set by Brocante. This set has 12 commons and 3 rares at L$50 per play.  Bikes are attachable, to view the complete set view the key here.

The last items being featured are these cute doggies, which are one of two sets by JIAN.  The “Playful Pibbles” gacha is a 19 piece set made up of 3 rares and 16 commons at L$50 per play plus the additional reward price for the 25 pull play. See the key here to get all the details on this gacha.

Plus visit the official Arcade website for all the news and to see the guide under the shop tab so you can begin to plan your visit.

Have a great one!

**Landmark will be provided once the Arcade opens**

There is purpose in your season of waiting

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day for us here in America. Normally it’s a relaxing day for us and usually we do a cookout, though not this year. My siblings are further away now with making moves to other states, so getting together isn’t as easy.  That aside.. today is a day of remembrance for those who served in our armed services protecting our country. In this day and age and from what we see all over the world it’s never been more important to feel blessed for those men and woman who served and those who serve now.

I wish everyone a fantastic and peaceful day wherever you are.  Today’s post is all about Cosmopolitan.  If you’re not familiar with this event, it’s one that takes place every two week bringing you an array of new releases in clothes, furniture, poses and everything that makes our lives here in Second Life a little more enjoyable. This round will end on June 4th, so you still have time to grab some fabulous goodies.

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

Club Trouble

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha4 Comments

I went clubbing with my friend Exis last night and I’m not so sure she really wanted to dance at first even though she asked me to change dances at one point, because the current dance reminded her of her dad dancing or something like that or she just wanted to play match maker.

I’m no shrinking violet so I took her dare to say hello to a total stranger and told him that my friend and I wondered why he was standing straight up almost nervously with the looks of needing to go to the men’s room and it was busy.  I told him in no uncertain terms that it was Exis’s impression not mine.  I’m the innocent one here.

He laughed and later apologized because he was lagging so badly. On a good tip I told him to derender everyone except me and that would help a lot. His response was to tell me he was lagging due to playing another game while in SL… hmm yeah. Wrong answer. Next.

Thanks Exis for a fun time!!

Sweet Haven Cottage

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping3 Comments

Happy Monday! It’s a brand new day and a brand new month and a fresh round of events to look forward to.  Today FaMESHed opens up and I’m showing the latest creation by DaD Design.

The Sweet Haven Cottage is a nice one floor beach house with a land impact of 56 that has a separate modular deck that you can add to it.  All the windows in the house can be opened and it’s available in adult or pg version because of the pillows that have single and couple poses.

I was going to go with typical white on the exterior, because by clicking the light switch near the front door in the interior you get the menu to change the exterior. I opted to go with another color for something different, but if yellow isn’t your thing there are plenty of other color choices.

Have a great one!
