Gloss

And here we are…it’s 2019 and three days into a new diet…and it’s failed already! I can only laugh at myself and shake my head (as I scoff some after eight mints). I have enjoyed my Christmas break so much the calories are determined to follow my hips into the New Year. Not to worry though, while in rl I’ll drag my sorry ass to the gym tomorrow, tonight I can play with sliders inworld and never worry about pixel calories.

Chainti

Ok, I won’t lie. When I first started typing the title I very nearly typed CHIANTI. I clearly have something on the brain and it’s red and very full bodied. No, not Santa you dirty birdies! A very large glass of wine beckons me and I will probably (very likely) succumb to it’s siren’s call. As I have a precious evening alone at home tonight I shall use it well…a Tom Hardy movie, courtesy of my BFF and a little chocolate 😀

Love Don’t Pay the Bills

As shoppers we are spoiled in SL. There are a plethora of events, gacha, new releases and sales we can choose from on a weekly basis. In addition, store owners are amazing for the sheer range and volume of gifts they create for us as well. Whether it’s a group gift, a lucky board item, a fishing prize or marketplace dollarbie, we are spoiled for choice. I wanted to show you some of the items I picked up just this week and this is only a selection of what I found! Have fun hunting for your own little bargains and on a personal note, thanks to the Designers for continuing to provide these gifts to us.

A woman scorned

Well, a woman scored is a terrible thing indeed. But I think we knew that already 😉

There are so many amazing hunts and free Halloween gifts inworld at the moment, I wanted to share a few of them with you in this post. With Halloween literally around the corner, we are spoilt with the amount of free gifts on offer. So, here is my whistlestop tour!

Firstly, the Spookzilla Hunt is on until the end of the month! All info can be found HERE on their Facebook page. All hunt prizes are between 0-30L and there are over 600 prizes available. Each little ghosty is colour coded and you can get previews of the store prizes, so my advice is take a look and identify what you really like….then start hunting!

Next, the Once Upon a Nightmare Hunt is in full swing until the end of the month too. This is a free hunt and all hints/slurls are HERE  on their website. This is hosted by BEPSL….so the likes of The Epiphany etc. Trust me when I say the quality of the hunt prizes are insane. Don’t miss out on this bad boy!

The Hocus Pocus Hunt is on for a little longer (until 8th November) and has a slightly different twist to the above hunts. Pick up a Preview/TP Hud from Marketplace HERE and use this to teleport to each store participating. You then have ONE CHANCE a day to say “hocus pocus” in front of the purple cauldron for a chance to win the prize on offer. So you get one chance daily until the 8th November to win the prize……OR….you can buy the prize for 50L. I always like to play until closer to the deadline, then I panic buy lol. But that’s just me 🙂

Finally, we have a bunch of new group gifts available including my gorgeous dress from Apple May Designs. It’s available in the VIP group only lucky board and you get both a red and black version to wear. Good luck!

Kismet

Having recently acquired this lovely dress from Just Because, I looked up the definition of ‘kismet’. Kismet means “fate” or “destiny” and it rings true for me today. Perhaps it’s fate to be working with someone again that I haven’t for a while. It’s helped me appreciate that I’m in a good place already and that I should take time to appreciate what I already have, rather than looking to the future, the next project, the next thing all the time. Perhaps it was kismet I chose to wear this dress because without wearing it, I would have never looked up the definition or taken the time to appreciate the good in my life. Kismet, indeed 🙂

Let them eat cake!

Princess Wynn had the right idea (or so she thought). If the people couldn’t afford bread, why not eat cake instead? However, clearly some important History lessons had been forgotten. Marie Antoinette had espoused the same opinion a few hundred years previously….and that didn’t go down too well with the people.

Being Human

Being human isn’t about material accoutrements, status or power. It isn’t about who you know or what you know. It’s peeling back the layers to expose your fragility to someone and knowing they’ll protect this element of you. It isn’t about strength, it’s allowing yourself to become weak and being all the stronger for it.
