Sweet Childhood of Mine

I love moments that I get to spend with the love of my life, Carter. They make my time in SL more enjoyable especially when we get to explore beautiful places like we did today. I was browsing locations for my next post when I came across a post by Ziki Questi featuring Mysterious Wave's newest art installation. It's called Childhood and is done as a way to see SL through the eyes of a child complete with a fun carousel as the centerpiece to this showcase.

I snapped some pics before Carter came on to show off some newness that is available at Sweet Leonard as well as this purty maxi dress that is available from Apple May Designs for only 25 L this week only in purple. I fell in love with these fun blocks and figured they'd be the perfect backdrop to my pictures. Of course, I had to take a closeup of this gorgeous floral crown I got from Sweet Leonard's gacha.

And since I love couples pics and finally have a someone special to take them with, I couldn't resist using this cute pose I got at Poser's Pavilion from WetCat to snap one of us while we were exploring. The sim allows you to rez on it! He liked the pinwheels the best but since I was the photographer, I put us back in front of the blocks. *Giggles*

Baby, You're A Firework

Hey all! Hope everyone is having a wonderful 4th of July weekend so far. Second Life designers love to get into the spirit of the holidays so of course, I've got some Independence Day goodies to show off to you. Blacklace has out this special edition of their previously released Jewel lingerie. This sexy set even comes complete with dangly star earrings and a necklace. I also decided to show off this cutesy flag tattoo that Blacklace Beauty has out to complete the outfit. This sinful little set is only 99L so hurry and pick it up to light off some fireworks in the bedroom this fourth.

Also if you're looking for some more fun accessories, Perfect Wardrobe has a 4th of July themed round going on right now and Rotten Defiance has out these adorable headbands for 90L.

Just Beyond The Sunset

Just beyond the sunset

Someone waits for me

Just beyond the sunset

Lies my destiny

Where the purple mountains

Lie in deep tranquillity

There I’ll find the treasure

Of love eternally 

Just beyond the sunset

Waits someone so fair

Just beyond the sunset

All alone they wait there

Their hair is golden

The colour of the sand

Their eyes sparkle in the night

Like diamonds in your hand

Just beyond the sunset

Lies a home for me

Where the world is peaceful

Like a paradise should be

Just beyond the sunset

Someday is where you’ll find me

Under Attack

While out exploring yesterday, I came across this gorgeous deserted beach. It was so pristine and the sound of the waves crashing against the shoreline made me think that this could be the perfect hideaway for some calm and peaceful moments this summer. Although the sun was starting to hide behind some puffy clouds, I was feeling a little hot so I decided to dip my feet into the cool surf. I closed my eyes for a second enjoying the serenity of this secret spot when all of a sudden, I felt a jolt of pain shoot up my body. I glanced down to see I was being attacked by a horde of angry crabs! While bending over to free my captured toes from their hungry grasp, more of these little suckers pinched their angry claws onto me. Ahh! The pain was so bad but I managed to shake myself free and move along.

With my fingers and toes still throbbing, I started to wander down the beach when I heard the hostile screech of some seagulls. I turned around to find I was being ganged up on by a flock of vicious birds. Running as fast as I could, I tried to get away from them before they decided to peck my eyes out. Finally realizing that perhaps there was a reason this beach was empty but for the local wildlife, my dream of tranquility was quickly diminished. I guess it's the city life for me from now on!

Caged & Devoted

Blacklace has sexy newness for us in the form of a mesh undercorset and some little lacy panties. This set comes in 9 fun colors perfect to fulfill your most wicked fantasies as well as optional pasties to conceal a bit if you're a little more shy. Be sure to stop by Blacklace and pick up this naughty number and surprise your someone special. I know I plan on doing so! *winks* 

The rest of my look is basically some more My Attic goodies. I love this Exile updo that is out for the event. It's got awesome volume and works well with sexier posts like this one. My pose prop is by Ploom and features 6 fabulous poses perfect for any look. Be sure to visit My Attic too if you're looking for some fantastic bargains because everything is only 95L.

Nieve's Musical Meme

Browsing Plurk this afternoon, I came across Nieve Thor's Musical Meme and since music is a huge part of my life, I decided to give it a go. If you'd like to participate, you can copy the questions below and then toss your own link on Nieve's blog. I thought this one was a pretty good one and I bet you will too. Yay for memes!

I'm showing off lots of newness from around the grid plus some stuff that's been out for a bit that I'm just getting around to blogging. I absolutely love this Kat hair from My Attic and I'm thrilled one of my favorite pose stores, Label Motion, is back and gifted all of her subscriber members with these adorable ice cream poses. Be sure to keep reading after the jump for LM's to some of these fabulous stores.

1. What is the last musical video clip you watched? (either tv or youtube): Safe and Sound by Capital Cities

2. What is the last song you hear on your radio/ipod? (non-video): I don't remember! Don't hate me! It was on my way home from work last night at 6AM!

3. What is the last song you sing along on top of your lung?: Longview by Green Day...I sing everything I love that comes on the radio but I kind of had a drum solo with this one too yesterday...*looks embarrassed* while stuck in traffic on the expressway.

4. What is the one song you must listen everyday?: I don't have any I have to listen to everyday. I have favorites but I don't die from lack of listening.

5. What is/are the main song(s) that make you want to skip the playlist or change the station?: When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars, As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber, Beautiful by Mariah Carey, Mirrors by Justin Timberlake, oh God there are so many!

6. Song that reflects your life: Don't Let Me Get Me by Pink

7.  Song that stuck in you head (doesn’t matter you love or hate): Heart Attack by Demi Lovato because it's my daughter's current favorite song. 

8. Song that you wish someone special (especially the singers themselves) serenaded only you with: Rhythm In My Soul by Jonny Craig because it's me and Carter's song and honestly if I was getting serenaded by the singer, Carter'd have to be there so he could fanboy Jonny.

9. Song that makes you wish it is written for you: :D I've had songs written for me. I'm a lucky girl. 

10. Song that always make you cry: Angel by Sarah McLachlan. They play it for the abused animals commercial here and it makes me bawl every time I hear it. Another one that makes me cry always is The Christmas Shoes by Newsong. Just listen to the lyrics and if you don't cry, you're a heartless person! Also, My Wish by Rascal Flatts is special to me and makes me tear up because it makes me think of my daughter.

Weird Question Meme

Hi all! It's time for another little meme brought to you by Berry. This time she's got us answering weird questions about ourselves. Since I like to talk, I just had to participate. If you'd like to participate, you can copy the questions below and answer them on your own and if you want to check out any of Berry's other fun memes, you can do so here.

I'm also using this blog post to show off some items from Summerfest. I fell in love with this playable ukulele that Balaclava has out for the event. It has three songs on it and you can also play duets with other ukulele owners. Summerfest has loads of goodies so be sure to check it out. Now on with the questions and answers!

1. Which was the last sim you visited? (Other than your home) Baja Norte to take this pic

2. Does your avatar look like the real you? Nope but I wish she did! I try to maintain some curves with Kis though because I'm not thin in RL and I feel awkward being so in SL. 

3. Do you wear underwear/panties underneath your clothing when out and about on the grid? Nope, I usually forget and I've been told about it dozens of times! *sticks my tongue out at my besties*

4. If you won a million linden dollars, what would be the first thing you buy inworld? Hmm, probably presents for all my besties. I like giving presents! I'd then pay my land for a year and cash the rest out.

5. Have you ever bought something in SL and then realized afterwards that you had already owned it from before? Nope. I know what I like and have a pretty decent memory so I am able to keep track of what I've purchased.

6. Have you ever done anything in Second Life that would be considered illegal in real life? Yep. I've done everything from escort to breaking and entering to being a public menace to shooting people during urban RP. 

7. If you could go out on a date with any other avatar, who would it be? My heart, Carter. 

8. Who, in your opinion, was the greatest avatar to ever slive?  Myself! Just kidding!! Everyone has an amazing avatar and it's wonderful to see the many ways people in SL represent themselves. 

9. What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done inworld? Hmm sooo many, responded in the wrong window, pasted chat convos to the wrong person, tp'd somewhere naked, logged in on my ex and the girl he was playing at the same time as me cuddling on his couch. SL is full of  embarrassing moments. You just learn to laugh about them. 

10. If your avatar had a mind of its own, what do you think it would say to you? Be happy. SL is supposed to be fun!

Piggy Island

As all of you know, The Arcade is in full swing right now with all of its gacha goodness to be had but did you also know there is a The Arcade photo contest happening too? This contest guarantees the first place winner and one friend early access to the next round plus tons of other fabulous prizes from your favorite Arcade stores. It's like a dream come true for some lucky photographer so I figured I'd take my chances and enter this time. I have a slight obsession with pigs in RL. I think they are super adorable so when I saw that Ohmai has made teacup piglets for their gacha, I just had to get me a few and then a little bit of boredom at work led to this scene. I call it Piggy Island in my head. They look like they're having fun, don't they?

Ascend Into the Blue

So I just had the most amazing afternoon/evening on SL and now I've got a few goodies to show off to you. Sweet Leonard, my go to accessory store released the prettiest stone necklace. This earthy necklace comes in 2 versions, long and short, so you can wear it with almost anything your heart desires. I paired it with one of my many Tee*fy dresses and Glam Affair skins from The Arcade to bring you this post.

I've also got a look at these gorgeous Ascension eyes from Ikon that are available exclusively at Numberology until June 15th. These pretty peepers feature a reflection in them and come in over 30 different colors. I figured I'd show off a few of my favorites and I must say that I'm usually a green eyed lass on SL but for some reason, I can't take off this Quicksilver color. I think I'm going to stick with them for a bit for a change. Be sure to grab the LM below and go to the number 6 booth of Numberology for your own gorgeous eyes.

Floaties

Summer is approaching fast here in the Northern Hemisphere and my RL pool has been open for a few weeks so when I saw all the adorable summery items available at this round of The Arcade, I had to go a little wild. I love swimming so much that I decided to drop all my newly acquired floaties in the water and float away for a few hours. If you've not picked up any of these cutesy little floats, you need to hurry over and give these gachas a try because they make any pool party more fun!

Beachcombing

Hey all! OMG! I am super excited! You see, it's like this. When I saw the cutesy ur favorite one overalls at this round of Collabor88, I got this idea to do a beachcombing blog post complete with a bucket full of shells. I thought it would be a totally adorable idea to do as a blog post but I was super emo sad to see that there were no beachcomber pose props around so I started begging people to do a custom job for me. Lucky for me, Nikki Wildmist of Demise of Flight thought the idea sounded fun and whipped them up for me super quick. When I saw the completed project, I was soooo happy because they are just what I pictured in my head and she added a color hud for the pail plus she included a bonus pail that moves with your AO. I couldn't have asked for anything else with this little set so I just had to run right out and take the pic I've been dreaming of. If you want to do your own beachcomber post, be sure to run to Demise of Flight and pick these adorable little pose props up! I love her so much for making them for me that I just had to partner her for a few days. *Giggles*

Paint Me A Masterpiece

Hey all! I'm back with more goodies from Numberology as well as some newness around the grid. As you all know Numberology kicked off on June 1st. I showed you some sexy lingerie in my last post from there but this time, I wanted to do a fun post. Lucky for me, Elephante Poses has out this adorable easel pose prop complete with a palette and paintbrush for all your posing needs. This little set comes with six built in poses so you can show off your gorgeous paintings. Also, my new piano that doubles as a bookshelf can be found at Numberology. This piano comes in 2 wood finishes and 2 styles. You can have it with books for a more tame look or with a built in bar for a more adult vibe. I'm a huge fan of reading so I figured I'd show off the books. Now let's just hope they don't get ruined by being outdoors! Be sure to check out both these items only at Numberology!

My adorable sea inspired jewelry set is new from Sweet Leonard and features a pretty starfish necklace as well as two matching rings. If you're looking for some new summer accessories, check out Sweet Leonard.

Finally, my hair and skirt are from this round of Fameshed and I just had to have them because they are both adorable and come with so many options on their little huds. Now, I gotta finish this painting. As you can see, it's turning out to be a beautiful masterpiece!

A Numberology Sneak Peek

Ok, so everyone knows that Arcade and Fameshed opened this morning but did you know that another fantastic event also opens in less than an hour? It's called Numberology and it runs till June 15th. Featuring tons of SL's best designers, this event focuses the spiritual meaning of numbers with each designer creating an item inspired by the number they were assigned. I've got a sneak peek at this sexy lingerie by Blacklace that is available at the event as well as an adorable necklace by Mon Cheri.

As you can see, my boy bestie, Xplozive, was more than happy to help me show this naughty number off or possibly take it off. I'm not sure which yet! Be sure to check out the Covert Affairs website to grab an LM to this event and see which other stores are participating. I'm all limbered up now so I'm going to put myself in some flexible positions. *winks* Happy Shopping! XoXo!
