Secret ingredient

Morning everyone.  I’m breaking my post every other day this week, because after some re-evaluating my still need to post blogging stuff.  I have more than a few items from sponsors that are at events that will end soon.  While I have a valid excuse for posting as late as this I really would love to give them a little more exposure than just a day or so before the event ends.

Without further talking on my end, check out the credits below for everything. Enjoy the rest of your week!

My mind is on a lot things and then on nothing at all.  I know I’ve been very quiet lately and I really have a good reason. I just rather not bore you now, but no worries I will later.

Unmasking the truth

Don’t we wish that a 3-card spread in a tarot card reading would answer every question we had about past, present or future. Or if it could totally unmask the truth about people and situations would you be tempted to get a reading?

Share what’s your take on a tarot reading.

Have a good argument with yourself

Not being so much of a fashionista I tend to have some difficulty in finding poses that will work to convey a story, thought or emotion. I have lots and lots of poses, but going through them all to find one is more of a hassle as I’m always ready to move on to the next thing.  I think the girls are arguing with each other, hence my title.

Anyways, I have a task that I must get to so I’l leave you all to peruse credits.

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!!

The girls of summer

Happy Saturday afternoon!!  I’m starting off my weekend with a headache, which is not a fun way to begin though I’m hoping by the next few hours it’s all gone. Today’s post is a collaboration with friend and fellow blogger Lotus Mastroianni. I give her all the credit for building the set even arranging all the items that I put down for us to use.

It’s all about summer in this post starting with this adorable short hair style by Iconic called Mae, which is a new release at Hair Fair.  I grew up with a short hair style practically until I was 20 and then I started to let it grow out so I sort of have a soft spot for short hairs.  I’ll be showing you some more great hair styles by Iconic at the Hair Fair in some of my upcoming posts.

The clothes I’m wearing is by Justice and it’s from their Liv gacha outfit at the newest summer round of The Gacha Guardians.  The bubble gum scoops ice cream that I’m enjoying is by RazzBerry Inc., also at gacha event. My cute summery shoes are by Empire and these come in the various sizes to fit most mesh feet, but what I love is that they come also in toddleedoo sizes and are available at the Toddleedoo Fair.

The decor I’m showcasing is by Velvet Whip, which is part of their pool party gacha at The Gacha Guardians.  The key to the set can be viewed here, with the cocktails tray of two drinks being the gift of the guardians.  Visit The Gacha Guardians website to learn more about the event and how to play to receives one of two gifts of the guardian.

Other decor is listed below, but all great summer finds at various events around the grid.  Please visit Lotus’ blog “Dressed like it-girls” to get the credits of what she is wearing and pose she is using.

Have a great one!

The Cranmore

0033ps

I mentioned in my blog post yesterday that today I would be featuring a new home. So today I bring you The Cranmore by creator Cain Maven. If you’ve been around Second Life for a while you’re probably already familiar with his homes under his brands Maven Homes and also Quantum Luxury Homes.

Both brands offer you high quality homes in various styles in a wide range of prices. Though having just recently toured one of the previous new releases, the “Roma” home, beautiful large luxury home is almost too simple to describe the beauty and magnificence in size and looks of that particular home.

0062ps

The Cranmore is way smaller in comparison, but it’s also not a small home either at a size of 32 m x 35 m.  It’s a bit of a mixed brick style build as you get a bit of a renovated barn with an industrial rustic feel with a touch of modernness. What I especially liked immediately upon entering the home was the sense of not feeling like I was boxed in.  I think that’s attributed to the openness, large picture windows and the high ceilings, which is something you don’t find a lot these days.

015ps

The rooms in the house include a bedroom, bathroom, front room, a kitchen with a dining/living room space and attic. The kitchen and bathroom decor is removable. I had a little fun decorating the kitchen with old and new items.  The kitchen as mentioned is an open plan where you have the dining room and another living room space.  The picture below shows the other side of the kitchen as you enter it through the open barn doors.

018ps

You can see the attic space in the picture above that gives you another level to put in another bedroom, office or another sitting area.  Plus you can see what I mean about the openness and high ceilings.

022ps

Above is the bathroom and the next picture is the bedroom.  Just take a look at the realistic detail of the materials used.

021ps

In the second picture you saw the home from the back and you see the big window just behind the green loungers, which are another collaboration by Shutter Field and Decor Junction and are available currently at Tres Chic.

If you click the window or the wheel on the wall, you will see the wheel begin to spin as the window opens, giving you this wonderful view out or whatever view you may have once positioned.  You can see my hands there as I am taking a breather enjoying the night hours and the flock of birds.  Now most species of birds rest during the night as I came to read, though there are some birds like for instance some sparrows that fly at night during migration periods. I think it was one of those periods.

024ps2

If you read and saw all the pictures, thank you for taking the time as I know it’s a very long post.

Below credits I’ve also listed information the creator has provided. The house is set to be released this weekend, and while I’ve done best to show you the house from almost every angle, go check it out for yourself!
