Ironies

On June 30, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, ToddleeDoo4 Comments

Laundry Schedule: Sort today, wash later, fold eventually and iron… ha ha

It’s the last day of the month and that means starting tomorrow a whole new round of events begin. One of these events is “All The Little Things,” a monthly event for the little ones centered around a monthly theme. This new round is all about “Saturday Morning” and will begin on July 5th. Here are just a few things you can find.

The cute jumper that has cats all over it worn by lil me is from Cottontail. Two other gender neutral colors can also be found at the event. The retro television by Little Llama does remind me of my Saturday mornings growing up watching cartoons on a television almost just like that one. The screen is texture change to other kid friendly pictures or you can just add your own as well. The pillow is also by Little Llama and I textured the plain pillow, but you can find three other patterned pillows that come with 5 sitting animations at the event.

So does anyone iron these days?

Days of yesterday

On June 21, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping, ToddleeDoo1 Comment

It’s definitely summer here in my real world living in Florida. The temperature is registering at 94^°F even though it feels more like beyond 100^°F, especially with humidity being at about 44% and relatively no wind to help. If you’re experiencing the same summer heat here in Second Life, then BoOgErS is here to help with these cute playful summer stuff for the kids out now at Summerfest ’15. The pool has some cute animations like the two shown here, of floating and doing the happy dance.

I remember these pools when I was a kid and we used a regular yawn sprinkler with the water hose to have the most amazing fun. Those were some good ole days. BoOgErS has also just introduced their first outfit, which part of it is the drawstring shorts in black with stars. The rest of the outfit is a hoodie and you can find these in a couple of variations at Shiny Shabby.

Cat snooping

I think one of my sissy’s cats escaped again and look she’s taught it some skills. I think she’s checking out the 21Shoe website to take a peek at all the shoes in the next round that starts on June 21st. In any case I am showing the Sesa Denim heels from ChicChica that are made to fit the Slink and Maitreya high feet. I love pointy shoes, so these are just excellent for me.

I am also showing a new decor item by Aphrodite Shops. The mesh animated fountain has real water sound and movement and also comes with animated butterflies flying around. This one is in the beige marble, though you can also find this in white.

These scrumptious delights are one of Jian’s latest creations for The Challenge, with a special pricing of 195L that can only be had if you get there by the end of tomorrow. There are six pieces to the sushi and sashimi set and only 1 land impact each, plus you also get seven color options for the dining wear.

I love Japanese food. Though there really isn’t much foods outside of fresh tomato and asparagus that I can think off the top of my head that I don’t like to eat.

In the next day or so I will be showing some more delicious foods that can be found at ongoing events. The best thing of all you is that you can eat until you’re stuffed and won’t gain an ounce.

Two-for-one shoes.

On November 16, 2014 By AlexaIn General, HomeLeave a comment

Coming soon is the new round of the 21Shoe, a monthly event that happens on the 21st of each month that gives us shoe lovers a two-for-one bargain on new and exclusive shoes. I’m showing off the shoes that HopScotch will have for this November round. The red/gold shoes I’m wearing are called Capture and are designed to fit the SLink medium feet. The second pair of shoes near the table are purple with an orange lining named Sidney, and also made to fit the medium mesh feet by SLink.

You can check out the 21Shoe website as the 21st approaches to take a look at the other shoes that will be available during this round. All the shoes can be found at the main stores and you can also grab the slurls from the website. The other thing about this event is that it only lasts 24 hours, from 12:01 am SLT on the 21st of each month.

You could say I’m doing a two-for-one post today. So this is what happens when you’re still half asleep. I’m wearing the two shoes from *YS&YS* that will be sold also on the 21st. The Tivoli a smooth crocodile black and the Latina open toe in beige. The shoes are made to be used with SLink high feet and you will get two versions of the shoes — one with “sock” in the name that are made to be used when you want to apply socks to your feet.

Remember the shoes are only available for 24-hours from 12:01 am SLT on the 21st of November.

Lesson 50

On June 6, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Home6 Comments

“We derive our vitality from our store of madness” ~Emile M. Cioran

Lesson 50: Simplify

Take a moment to check in with yourself: Are you as vital and energetic as you’d like to be? Is your thinking clear and focused, or at times dull or confused? Are you feeling light and eager, or burdened and lethargic?

Heaviness in body, mind, or emotions is often a sign of too much input. Too much work, too many appointments, and even too much recreation can dull our enthusiasm and deplete our vitality.
This week, look to see what modifications you could make in your daily routine to simplify your life and streamline your schedule.

Your Self-Love Assignment

Look at your schedule for the next 30 days. Notice how many activities and commitments on your calendar fall under the category of “shoulds,” “obligations,” or “have to’s.”

Now see what one activity you could take out of your schedule that would give you some relief and simplify your life.

Your self-love assignment for this week is to streamline your schedule by letting go of something non-essential. Take the extra time to do something nice for yourself.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 50 points for every non-essential item you take off your schedule.

D is for…

On April 4, 2014 By AlexaIn Challenges, Home3 Comments

“Glamour is what makes a man ask for your telephone number. But it also is what makes a woman ask for the name of your dressmaker.” ~ Lilly Dache

Today’s letter is D and I choose to go with this fabric shop set from Dysfunctional Designs, because I absolutely love it. I really meant to blog this way back when it came out, a few weeks ago at a “We ❤ Role Play” event (crosses fingers I’m right on this). Then time just gets away. In my case, it’s also that things really get buried in my inventory and I loose track easily what I purchase from week to week.

This fabric shop set just made me think of an era I have only read in books. When dresses were made specifically for you at dress maker shops and you were fitted to be able to get the perfect dress made.
