The perfect place to unwind - Heart Homes

For the last year, as many of you know, I have been living without net at my new home, which means I have been having to commute to a friends to get any SL related work done.  For someone who doesn't work anymore, due to health issues, this has been hard to deal with since there are some days I just can't make it in to town to blog.  Along the way I have had to leave stores I loved as a blogger because I just couldn't live up to the expectations and requirements, and now, once again I am faced with the same decision, leaving stores so I don't let them down.  People have come to expect certain things from me as a blogger, and I no longer feel like I can do that for everyone, so I am cutting my sponsors down to a manageable number with realistic expectations for me at the moment.  Maybe some day in the near future I will be able to blog again from the comfort of my own home where I can rest if needed, or get up and clean things at home (which has SERIOUSLY been suffering) and work at the pace that keeps me healthy and productive.  I know some people may not understand how much of a big deal this is for me, but the idea that people are counting on me to help promote their creations is HUGE.  I hate letting people down, especially when it comes to business, as well as it isn't fair to the store or all the other bloggers out there looking for their chance to be seen, and I know how important that can be.  So I bid a fond farewell to those I can no longer blog for and send out a big universal thank you for letting me showcase your creations!

Since the stress lately has been overwhelming, I have found myself escaping to our tub for long stretches at a time.  The world just seems to slide away and I am reminded of the Calgon commercials from the 80's as I literally just get swept away by the gentle sounds of the water lulling me into a state of relaxation.  Lucky for me I don't just get to have that feeling at home, with this amazing new release from Heart Homes I can now slide into the tub in my virtual life and let the stress of the day wash right off of me.  So if you are looking for the perfect bathroom decoration or if you happen to be lacking a tub you can relax into in real life then head on over to Heart Homes and Aphrodite and get your hands on this incredibly well made antique claw foot tub, trust me, you will not be disappointed!

Psst....don't bother to look for me today, I am playing hookey! - Serenity Style, unKindness, Aphrodite and CIRCA

Do you ever have those days where you would much rather runaway with your friends than do work?  Today is one of those days for me and I am having the hardest time getting motivated to work!  I have been gone so long that I have missed months of my friends lives and all I want to do is invite everyone over to just sit down and chat for awhile around a fire, on my newly decorated land on SL.  I think my landlord was beginning to pray for my return so she could take down the blockade of wintry trees from in front of my land, since I was still stuck in Winter while the rest of the sim was in bloom.  Yesterday and today I remedied that situation and finally put down a new house and decorated for Spring.  I knew Aphrodite had sent me a wonderful package of flowering trees, released for Valentine's Day, that would work perfectly in this newly decorated space.  And since I happened to be in the decorating mood at that point I decided to remove myself from the equation and show off some wonderful new releases for your home from unKindness, Serenity Style, Aphrodite and CIRCA. 

The current round of The Liaison Collaborative is called "Romantic Metal" and I have been delighted with the releases from unKindness and Serenity Style.  "A Love Touch Collection" from Serenity Style has four pieces and they can be bought individually or as a Fatpack.  I love the vintage feel of this collection which always fits well into my life, so I can guarantee pieces will be finding their way into other rooms in my home.  So far this year signs have dominated the decor market and you will not be disappointed with the ones offered at the event from unKindness.  I am featuring three of the signs available at the event, but you will find flowers as well as words, and each comes in several different colors, so you are sure to find the perfect ones to accompany your decor.  

I happen to have a wood burning stove at home and I love it.  It isn't our only heat source, but the heater only comes on if we aren't home to make a fire.  When I saw this gorgeous piece at FaMESHed from Dutchie I just knew I had to have it in my home.  When I got home and realized there were poses and cuddles with it I got even more excited!  Everyone needs one of these so hurry to the event before it ends, you won't be disappointed, especially if you are still having very Wintry days and nights like we are in the mountains of Arizona.  

I am a little late for Valentine's Day, but if you follow my blog then you know any day of the year is Valentine's Day in the right relationship, which means these gorgeous new roses from Aphrodite need to be a part of your life.  The vases also come with accompanying hand held bouquets in each of the colors, and I promise you will be amazed at the life like quality of the flowers, I could almost smell their scent drifting through my home.

Now that I have let you all have a peek at some of the wonderful new goodies I have used to decorate my home I am off to chat with friends and catch up on the last three months I have been away.
