Lounging around

Happy Thursday!  I know some of you are ecstatic as its only one day closer to the weekend.  I’ll be traveling over the weekend and gone for the week so I am hoping that I can work on doing some pictures today and tomorrow so that I can just focus on writing out credits and posting the pictures.

Today I am showcasing items from the newly opened round of Cosmopolitan and then a few sponsors and it’s all about summer things.

As always everything shown is listed below the pictures under credits. I wish you all a fabulous day and a good start to the weekend!

Sweet friendships always refreshes the soul

Morning and Happy Friday!! I hope your weekend is off to a good start and while I have somewhat of a busy one with things I have to get done I’m looking forward to mine.

Today’s post is a collaboration with fellow blogger and someone I now call friend, Jules, who has her own blog at Sunshine & Sparkles.  It’s an appropriate name for her, as her personality is all sunshine and sparkles and I really like that about her. Plus she shares my sun sign of Aries, with our birthdays just days apart, so we’re finding that we have a lot in common including our feisty nature.  I think she has more patience than me and might not be as stubborn as I can be at times.  I know that’s hard to believe, but alas it’s true as much as I hate to admit it.  I do try to reign it in, because it’s not really endearing qualities to have.

Anyways, check out credits below for the amazing stuff we’re showing and as soon as Jules posts I’ll link up her blog once again here.

Have a fabulous rest of the day!

We’ve all gone a little mad here

It’s early in the morning or really late as they both apply in this case, so I am not going to ramble at all.  I’m just going to point you to credits, to get all the info on the two items I’m showcasing.  The pretty greenhouse by N4RS and the Mad Hatter party gacha  by SPELL.

Have a great one!

Out in the country somewhere

I actually have one more for 6th Republic and it’s to show this sidecar motorcycle from Anhelo, which is just super awesome.  The set actually includes a few more pieces like a tent, cot and tree stump with some decor that are great for some role-play scene.  Though I think you’ll agree with me that this sidecar motorcycle is a beauty on its own and great for a trip into the country, which Elton and I did just that.

I’m also showcasing the decor pieces by Tentacio, which is part of their Stockholm Trip Gacha at 6th Republic as well.  The hair is by DeLa and will be at the upcoming round of Tres Chic.

Have a great one!

Grateful for the small things, big things and everything in between

Happy Saturday everyone!

It’s a rainy kind of day here as we’re having on and off thunderstorms throughout the day. It just called for a lazy day at home and quite perfect as I have to get some reading in.

It’s another mixture of fashion and home decor in today’s post with items from all over the grid as there’s just an overabundance of events going on. Some that are fairly new and others well known monthly ones.

Check everything out below.. and have a fabulous rest of the day!

It’s a short and sweet one this morning as I’m going out the door as soon as I get this posted. I’m showcasing the ‘Stay with me’ gacha by Ionic at The Chapter Four. It’s a lovely set starting with the industrial house, which is the rare and not all pieces are being shown.

Have a great one today!!

El sabor del café

I don’t consider myself a coffee drinker.  I rarely drink it and probably only when it’s really cold and someone is making it and some dessert accompanies it.  I never liked the aftertaste of coffee though the flavored coffee creamers has helped me drink it a lot easier.  I’m not really sure why I’m talking coffee, other than it became my title when I was writing credits and the one item was named coffee with milk and it stuck in my head.

The furniture that I’m using in this post is by [ETNIA] and it’s still currently at this round of Shiny Shabby that ends in a couple of days, so you still have time to grab it.  I love the old textures and the Caribbean feel to the whole set.  The hanging yellow flowers are by Mesh India and it’s one item in their gacha set at Cosmopolitan.  I’m also wearing hair by No.Match also at this event.

The summery top and bottom are by Cellar Door and are at this round of We ❤ Role-Play. The perfect outfit for spring weather.  The shoes also another great spring wardrobe item are by Empire and are at this round of Chapter Four.

I’m home now and trying to do a little catch-up in opening boxes and organizing so that I can get some more pictures ready for the coming days.

Have a great one!

Your teddy bear…

I’m not sure where I got the energy after a long day of travel to go to a local play where the story centered on middle aged people who all had a story. The main characters was a couple who met just after college and then their lives went in different directions.  He’s now a divorced man who was used to a certain way of life and bit bound in tradition.  He was overly polite too and lived life believing something would eventually happen to him, so that he really lived a rather lifeless life in the grips of depression. The woman was 4 times divorced, twice with the same man who had been abusive at least once.

They meet again after 30 years rediscovering themselves and each other as other characters are introduced throughout giving tidbits of practical insight and advice. It was a good play, though a bit confusing to know where it was going until the end where they both decide not to take the second chance they were given. She decides to return to her life of turmoil and he decides not to take the chance and go after her. That’s what I walked away with. It’s really up to you whether you can change or not. The next phase of your life is really in your hands. The possibilities that life holds are there if only you choose to pursue them.

I’ll leave you with that wisdom for a Monday, but make sure you check out all the wonderful things I’m showcasing today and peruse credits.
