Strange you never knew

Posted on August 15, 2015 by laylahlecker

One of my co-workers said she was always bummed out on sunny days. It threw me for a loop because I’m the exact opposite. Consequently, I tried to find the beauty in a gray sky day. I fell asleep several times, but I think that’s due to me laying in bed watching true crime TV. What did I learn?

Perhaps I have conditioned myself to believe the sun inspires positivity. Because honestly, I’ve had plenty of lazy sunny days.

Fun fact. Halloween is the eve before All Saints’ Day. After All Saints’ Day, we have All Souls’ Day. I love that idea.

I thought PurpleMoon’s group gift was a timely reminder to love those we lost by celebrating their lives. We cannot get them back, but hold onto the love.

Yes, it has been one of those days. That is all. 🙂

I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

Posted on September 4, 2014 by laylahlecker

Okay, I can’t really trade my first or second life for fortune and fame (both combined are not worth that much), but there are some aspects of both that I would love to give away. As for Second Life, I don’t like mass teleports or intrusive hellos from male avatars. Is that super mean?

As for real life, I could totally give away my mood swings. I would have to give that away because it would be an awful trade!

Second Life is a sanctuary to me, and not necessarily in the religious or spiritual sense. It’s my time to get away from real life and dress up my virtual Barbie doll.

The last time I wore a gown in real life was my senior prom, so I’ve led myself to believe I’m a jeans and flip flop girl, but I never really had the opportunity to dress up. If I did (and I was at least 5 inches taller), I would totally wear a dress like PurpleMoon’s Miss Scarlett. Miss Scarlett is available in 8 colors, and I’m in love with this shade of blue.

Incidentally, the sale ends today, but Miss Scarlett in Gold is half off! Regardless of what color you choose, Lazuri’s Marzia complements Miss Scarlett perfectly. The combination reminds me of old Hollywood glamour. I was never there in body, but certainly in spirit. Hollywood is the ultimate in fame and fortune right?

Although I can be moody, I’m actually an optimist. If something doesn’t go my way, I think it’s meant to be or a sign from above. I feel so Zen today. I spent some time at Baja Norte. Have you gone yet? If you’re a beach lover, you’ll love it. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Whenever I blog, I like to explore new places. It’s honestly the only time I leave my teeny parcel.

I wanted something beachy to go along with PurpleMoon Creations‘ newest dress Leia. It’s the type of dress that you can dress up or down, which I can appreciate because I tend to veer more towards the casual side of life.

PurpleMoon Creations’ Leia comes in 10 different colors with a contrasting ribbon trim. It’s super pretty! Click PurpleMoon for a lift.

Think Pink

Pink Shirt Day started on February 26. Have you raised your voice? I don’t know about you, but I was semi bullied by my next door neighbor when I was 7-12 years old. Luckily, she didn’t torment me as maliciously as some kids do nowadays, but she was definitely intimidating because she would walk behind me, with her friend, and make all kinds of remarks.

Picture this. In real life, I’m super short, and I’ve worn glasses since I was five year old. I was like a walking cliche of the perfect kid to pick on. Luckily, and it’s a strange lucky, my family didn’t have a home computer until I was in high school. Because now social media allows teens to target and bully from afar, and with that convenience comes double the impact to cause harm.

If you want to show your support against bullying, stop by PurpleMoon and make a donation in exchange for a shirt.

Net proceeds from Pink Shirt Day activities and t-shirt sales benefit the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of Boys & Girls Clubs Anti-Bullying programs. All transactions will be published at http://purplemooncreations.blogspot.com/p/pink-shirt-day-2014.html.

A minimum donation of 10L is required, but higher amounts are definitely appreciated.

Want to help in other ways? PurpleMoon Creations suggest:

Spread the word sharing pictures of yourself wearing the pink shirt at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/pinkshirtdaysl/ or tag it on your Facebook as #pinkshirtday
Follow the organization on Facebook (www.facebook.com/pinkshirtday) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/pinkshirtday)
Make a donation: https://www.cknworphansfund.com/donate/?campaign=2450
Challenge your friends and co-workers to commit to a bully-free lifestyle and wear pink

15 shades of boho chic

Posted on May 8, 2013 by laylahlecker

PurpleMoon’s Meadow Maxi dress is stylish, boho chic, and versatile all rolled into one. If you love to wear a certain silhouette, but you yearn for color or pattern changes, Meadow Maxi allows you to do that with just one click.

All you do is wear the hud (and the dress at the same time of course!), and click on the pattern you want to wear that day. Boom! It’s an instant outfit change.

It’s very cool. I love it when outfits come with a hud such as this because it doesn’t take up as much space in our inventories. Yay for SL technology!

Don’t forget that you must buy the initial dress in order for this to work. While the hud I’m showing has all the patterns available, you can also choose specific huds if you only fancied the striped, floral, or circle print. Click here for your lift to PurpleMoon and happy shopping!
