Bright Spot

March’s weather confuses me! First it’s windy, then it’s hot, then it’s cold and windy, and so on and so on. When I realized Pose Fair 2016 opened today, that totally brightened my day! If you don’t know, I love poses. And when I say love, I mean totally obsessed with poses. Poses give SL’ers life, ya know?

Pose props are also awesome!  Luanes World “Don’t Wait” is a single pose prop that comes with an attachable Siamese cat. If you love animals, it’s a must have. Pose
Fair 2016 started today and ends March 26th. Want a lift? Click “Don’t Wait” and you will be on your way!

“And Somehow That Was Everything”

Have you ever woken up and thought that today was the day you had to make a serious change? I do all the time, and I usually go through my day as I normally do and think about changing tomorrow. This time, I woke up and did a little soul declutter.

She Lost Him

I’ve been carrying around an awful lot of doom and gloom lately. Frankly, I don’t know what brought on this turn, but I can’t say grumpy moods aren’t abnormal for me.

But Found Herself

If you want to declutter your soul, you treat it as though you’re decluttering your house, bedroom, office, closet, or anywhere you tend to toss in non-essential items. I spent the day simply enjoying the day by sitting outside in the sun with my two pups.

And Somehow That Was Everything

I didn’t think about work, school, or the laundry I needed to do. Suffice it to say, I ended up doing my laundry, but I felt insanely refreshed by forgetting the past, ignoring the future, and living in the moment.

As for my delicous SL wear, you can find Glitter’s Ocean Queen at Swank‘s February event “Fifty Shades of Red.”

Chasing Weiland: “It’s what made you who you were.”

Scott Weiland’s death devastated me. I grew up listening to Stone Temple Pilots. They were my first concert. In many ways, their music shaped the way I hear new music today, and, so often, a song builds my blogs.

I heard “Plush” while driving to work today, and it brought back so many memories. There is the innocent interpretation of “Plush,” and that is merely how the lyrics compel me to sing along. Have you ever heard this song while observing Karaoke? My husband sang it at my work’s holiday bash and it was a favorite!

Where ya going with that mask I found STP

Was it the lyrics that made my co-workers, and myself, sing along? “Where

“Where ya going with that mask I found?”

so much depends on the weatherPerhaps, it is the connotation of trying to hide one’s true self, or one’s actions and motives, that makes others relate? This is me trying to figure myself out. It’s also an ode to my appreciation of Scott Weiland. He shall rest in peace, and I will call it a night and see what tomorrow brings.

I’m wearing loads of stuff from Designer Showcase‘s January Collection (January’s round ends on January 31). Designer Showcase will be on a winter hiatus and close shop for February. So if there is anything you want to grab, do it before 1-31! When Designer Showcase is back up in March, expect a brand new location and feel!

Las Vegas Winters (What? No Snow?)

I swear my outfits go through this every winter. I’m a southwestern girl by heart, so my move from Albuquerque to Las Vegas kept me in warm winter weather. The only snow I really see is in Second Life!

Tis the Season

I’m back home! We celebrate Thanksgiving early because it’s easier to travel in the middle of November rather than the actual day. Family affairs are rough, so it’s good to be home.

Don’t get me wrong. I miss my family but once you hit a certain age, or maybe once you live on your own, staying at mom and dad’s can be difficult.

Tis the Season

Tomorrow marks the end of Designer Showcase’s November round. It officially ends at midnight, so it’s your last chance to pick up designer goodies at promotional prices. Lots of fun cocktail dresses. Tis the season for dressing up!

Road Trip

I’m hitting the road! tomorrow! Now, road trips are so much fun in theory, but the drive to Albuquerque isn’t the best. It’ll be good to see my family though, and luckily my husband will drive out. I just have to take care of our two rats (small Chihuahuas). That’s a fair trade. 😀

Road Trip

Speaking of travel, NANTRA’s “Seattle Bound” is available at Designer Showcase’s November round. Six poses and suitcases and totes to boot!

How to pack for cold weather

I wish I could take this much luggage. I always change my mind about what I want to wear once I get to my destination. Be sure to check out Designer Showcase’s November round. It’s in a new location and better than ever! Tons of exclusives such as my thigh high boots by Lindy.

Wake me up, when October ends

Actually, I love October because of Halloween, but today did mark one end.

Waking up drowning

Designer Showcase’s October round is done for the month, but it will be back in November! If you recall, Designer Showcase is a monthly fashion event that offers exclusives, group gifts, and a variety of goodies at discounted prices. Plus, November brings a new location. Stay tuned for more.

Until then, happy Second Life living!
