The Lady in Red - Featuring Virtual Diva

Tomorrow is the last night of 2017 and I hope everyone has safe and fun plans in the mix! The boyfriend and I are going to use our Gift Certificate for Outback and enjoy a night out for the two of us. I know anyone with children knows how hard it can be to spend alone time together, even when the kids are 18 and 19, so we are going to take advantage of the time and relax together as the year comes to a close. This past year has had it's ups and downs but it has been nice to have each other to face things together, instead of apart, and that has made things a little bit easier. If you happen to have plans on Second Life for New Year's Eve, and you are still frantically looking for a gown, then do yourself and head over to Swank before they close their doors and grab this absolutely stunning new gown from Virtual Diva!

The Holy Couture Gown from Virtual Diva is an exclusive at Swank until the end of the month and then will be available in the store. The design is stunning and the open back and daring neckline make it a sensuous dress that you just have to see to believe, so do yourself a favor and pick yours up today. And while you are out shopping on the grid, stop by Nord Embyl'Lys and check out the last design of the year, you won't be disappointed! The Flocons de Neige collection has an amazing HUD that allows you to choose the colors of your gems and pearls as well as to resize the pieces, which include earrings, two necklaces and bracelets, giving you a stunning and complete collection perfect for the Winter! Happy Shopping!!!

Lady of the light gone mad with the night - Featuring Virtual Diva

So if any one was paying attention to my post at the end of last week, then you know I was looking forward to a week of getting organized for work and of doing a bit of catch up on my blogging. Well as we all know, as soon as you make plans, life happens. I have been putting on a bit of a brave face of late as I have had to ween myself off of my nerve medication, per physician instruction, since I have developed a life threatening allergy to it. If there was one medication I would tell people I couldn't live without, it would have been that one, so I have been getting to know that pain again and it has thrown me for a loop and kept me from being able to come into town to my computer. It has been years now since I have had to feel the fire of nerve pain through my body, but I am finding a new strength in looking for alternative treatments and empowering myself and once again calling pain my constant companion, my muse, but never my friend.

"The Poet and The Muse

There's an old tale wrought with the mystery of Tom
The poet and his muse
And the magic lake which gave a life
To the words the poet used

Now the muse she was his happiness
And he rhymed about her grace
And told her stories of treasures deep
Beneath the blackened waves

'Till in the stillness of one dawn
Still in its mystic crown
The muse she went down to the lake
And in the waves she drowned

And now to see your love set free
You will need the witch's cabin key
Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night
That's how you reshape destiny

Check out this stunning new dress from Virtual Diva, an in-store release for the new Winter Collection! The Nostalgic dress fits the curves perfectly, accentuating all the right places on the body, making it a wonderfully classic dress with vintage styled lacing along the front. If you are looking for an understated but classically beautiful new dress for the Holiday season then do yourself a favor and head on over to the store today, you won't be disappointed!

Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's trends in fashion and home decor work for you!

"Tell me will love be there" - Featuring Petit Chat, Powder Pack, MODISH and MORE!

Today officially marks the start of Winter break for my son and I think I am more excited than he is, because it gives me time to myself next week to get organized and blog a bit more than I have been, as long as the internet cooperates. The last few days we have been plagued by very high winds, blowing in a possible snow storm finally, and that has played havoc with the internet, for some reason. Our provider would tell you that high winds cannot effect the service, but it is only during these periods of sustained high winds that we lose internet for hours on end. So we just have to grin and bare it and hope for the best. Luckily it has cooperated long enough today for me to get two posts out, one for fashion and one for home decor, which truly makes me happy! Mainly because I think I am in need of some stress relief lately with all that has been going on, but with Christmas right around the corner I get a vacation here soon, which I am looking forward too more than you know. I can picture a glass of wine in hand as I sit in the hot tub with my man chatting about what we are going to do once the last one graduates from high school in June, as the sun sets over the desert. Romance, family, friends, food and love is what this holiday is all about this year for me, and I hope it is for you as well, because you cannot package that love is found when you are surrounded by those closest to your heart.

If you love to accessorize as much as I do then you really need to stop by The Chapter Four and pick up the brand new, 100% original mesh design by Trinity Yazimoto for Petit Chat. The Clair de Lune bracelets can be customized in every way possible with the incredible HUD and the fact each piece is also MOD. As always the textures are amazing and the piece can be worn alone or in combination with others for a bolder look, so stop by today, I promise you won't be disappointed. And if you haven't made it by this round of FaMESHed, and you are looking for accessories or hair, then hurry because this gorgeous new set of curls from Wasabi Pills is a MUST have addition to your collection, as are the adorable rings from Empyrean Forge, perfect for this holiday season. Happy Shopping!!!!

Life happens while you are making plans - Featuring Ashmoot

In the last twenty four hours our entire lives have changed as the youngest, who graduated in June, decided to leave home all of the sudden and move down to Phoenix. Most parents have a bit of notice and some time to get used to the idea of their children going to college or moving out and we are still reeling from the news while he has woken up in a new home this morning with the whole world before him. He has some health issues, so his father and I are biting our nails hoping he is mature enough to handle all the things he has to, and to take care of himself. Which I know is the worry of all parents, but when you add in needed medications, it becomes a greater stressor. But in the end this is his chance to prove something to himself, not just to us. So while we were making plans for the future of the family, life happened and now we have to regroup and see how things go before we continue with our plans. Though I am a bit fearful, at the same time I am SO excited for him! To be out in the world for the first time at 18 is a challenging and yet amazing time, especially when you are living with a friend and finding your way for the very first time. For Christmas this year the greatest gift we could get is a happy, healthy, well adjusted young man out on his own, living his dream!

For the first time I think in forever, the above part of my post has nothing to do with the photo, which just shows I write off the top of my head! This outfit has me feeling fierce, fabulous, and yes, a bit like revenge, though I'm not sure why! I have been looking for a reason to use this chair from SEUL for months now, and today was the day! I love the poses and since it came from a gacha, there are lots of colors to pick up, so go check it out, but before you do, you must stop by Ashmoot and grab this sexy, stunning, fun new ensemble! From the top of your head to the tip of your toes you will be decked out in perfect crocheted pieces and layers in stunning fabrics! The ensemble is complete with appliers for mesh bodies, which includes a gorgeous crochet bikini under the pieces seen in this post. Since I wanted to use the chair I draped the fur vest over the chair, and tossed my purse on the floor, settling in to relax for a few minutes after the emotional roller coaster the last twenty four hours has been. Ugh, I can't even describe how fantastic this outfit is, so go pick it up for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!

Fashion is worth doing well - Featuring Virtual Diva, Modish, No.Match and Nord Embel'Lys

Happy Monday everyone! I hope those of you in the States have had a wonderfully long Holiday weekend, full of food and family, and for the rest of you around the world, I hope you are greeting this Monday with enthusiasm! Sometimes, that's all it takes when faced with negative things, a fake it until you make it attitude. I am living in that state at the moment as a sudden and intense flare-up of things has thrown a wrench in my plans lately, but one thing I noticed that is never effected by my mood or my health, is my sense of style and fashion. We had a relaxing and casual Thanksgiving with my family and people gave me a hard time for "dressing up" for the occasion, and I realized that it doesn't matter what the event is, I am always accused of that. I guess because I spend so much time at home and out of the public view that when I get a chance to go out, I often dress up a bit. It isn't for others, it's for me, it helps elevate my mood which can take the edge off of the pain, and after all, fashion is always worth doing well!

“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.” — Vivienne Westwood

Speaking of doing fashion well, look no further than Virtual Diva and the amazing designs created there, along with this fantastic new dress, an exclusive for the current round of Swank. The classic lines are perfect for any event, and you can wear the dress with or without the add-on, giving you two totally different looks. The new Winter collection has been released at the event and in the store so do yourself a favor and stop by the store and event today to check them out! And while out and about on the grid, take a little detour and head by Nord Embel'Lys and let your eyes be dazzled by the beautiful jewelry, including the set I have on today! The Tresor Astral set is incredibly well made with a magnificent attention to detail, making it a stop you just have to make if you haven't yet, to add well priced, gorgeous jewelry to your collection.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple. - Oscar Wilde

I honestly have no idea where the last couple of months went, and I can't believe Thanksgiving is literally right around the corner. Our house is still in shambles but we had an incredibly productive weekend and the days after Thanksgiving will be spent putting in the new floor, which I am terribly excited about! Thirteen months after the leak was discovered we are getting the house together and in a few months it will be ready to be put up for sale, unless we decide to stay in Flagstaff for some odd reason. But all of this means we won't be having Thanksgiving at our house and the rest of the family doesn't cook, so a turkey dinner with all the fixings is not on the agenda this year, and I am a tad bit disappointed. I love the whole production like atmosphere of Thanksgiving, and its the only time of the year I get to make certain dishes I love, so I have a feeling we will be having our own turkey dinner at some point this month, since Christmas will be spent with the entire family, where I will be cooking lots of different things except a turkey! The truth is, I love the traditions, and the time with the family and I hate when things change, which means I am a bit out of sorts now after finalizing the plans for next week, and a quote from Oscar Wilde has danced through my head this morning more than once, after realizing what he meant. "The truth is rarely pure and never simple," but a photo is simple and it speaks the truth you wish to see!

On Friday I actually had time to head out onto the grid from my land and check out a few events, including Collabor88, FaMESHed and Fifty Linden Fridays and I am STILL trying to unpack all my goodies! Not to mention I got my De(c)ocrate and Powder Pack releases as well on Friday, since I had been away for most of the week, and all my other blogger boxes, so I had TONS of stuff to check out and I haven't gotten to them all just yet! But the first thing I had to unpack were my goodies from Collabor88 because I absolutely LOVE this new jumpsuit from Scandalize. The Anashara jumpsuit comes with several options including jacket, chains, and two versions, pearl and plain, and in a wide variety of colors as well as an ombre in every set. The jumpsuit is well designed and all the little details make it well worth the trip to Collabor88, which is also where you will find this GORGEOUS new hair from Tram, which you just have to see in person to truly appreciate, and if you are looking for a simple, yet stylish new necklace and bracelet collection then make sure you head over to The Chapter Four and see the Seeds of Metal set, by Petit Chat, for yourself, it will be well worth the trip! Each bracelet comes with a HUD offering 6 metal choices, making it incredibly versatile, as well as two length options, so it can be worn with even your most cleavage revealing ensembles!

Happy shopping and have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day!

Be the Light - Featuring Virtual Diva

You've got to be one that, wherever you are, like a flower, you've got to blossom where you're planted. You cannot eliminate darkness. You cannot banish it by cursing darkness. The only way to get rid of darkness is light and to be the light yourself.
Cory Booker

Halloween is tomorrow night, which means the end of October is upon us, and with that comes the Holiday season in just a few weeks. If you are like me then you love the formal parties that can come your way, from now until the 1st of the year, so get a head start on the rest of the crowd and pick up this amazing new creation from Virtual Diva, and be the light this Holiday season!

Remember to just breathe - Featuring IT!, DeeTaleZ, Juna Artistic Tattoo, and Arcane SpellcasterAK - Creations

If my friends and family were asked to write down quotes from me, I have a feeling every one of them would write, "just breathe," since it happens to be my mantra. For many years I performed on stage with terrible stage fright, that at times made me almost immobile, and someone I used to know said that to me once and I realized that in the pause that comes with taking a deep breath, the nerves calm and the brain works a tad bit better than it did before. With everything going on in my personal life at the moment, I keep reminding those around me to just breathe, more for me than for them I'm sure, but either way it works! Even though I am not missing anyone and my relationship is going fabulously, I still find myself drawn to a certain song by Melissa Etheridge, simply because it reminds me to breathe and that everything will be fine in the end. So join with me for a little while in remembering to slow down, take a pause and JUST BREATHE and of course check out this amazing new releases from IT!, *Arcane Spellcaster*AK-Creations, and Juna Artistic Tattoos!

I was delighted to see the addition of a new tattoo store to the line up of fantastic designers for We Love to Blog so I just had to show off this wonderful new design from Juna Artistic Tattoo, which happens to be a 10L gift at the TWE12VE Event. The unisex design is very well done and would be a perfect addition to your ink collection, as well as the other two brand new releases at the event, so make sure to check them out as well when you stop by TWE12VE this week, before the doors are locked and the sidewalks swept up. As Halloween approaches lots of the creations on the grid are designed with that in mind, with some you will simply store away until next year, but the Crescent Moon set is one you can wear year round, not just during the Moon's time of year! The earrings and necklace are incredibly well made with great detailing and come in a wide variety of color combinations via an amazing HUD. I am a huge fan of IT! and will continue to love just about everything they release, but this is a set that will be moving into my daily wear folder because it's just PERFECT!!!! The true bohemian in me has also fallen in love with this flirty new release from *Arcane Spellcaster*AK-Creations that comes in a few different colors and goes well with your high waisted jeans or maxi skirts, an excellent combination for these Autumn days, so stroll on by the store and check out the newest releases and find a way to fit them into your wardrobe today, you won't be disappointed!

Even a sinner stops to pray from time to time - Featuring Petit Chat, Moondance Boutique and more!

Earlier this week I went for my mammogram and once again they scheduled the 3D mammogram for today, and discussions between the Radiologist and the surgeon have already started, which of course has me a little pensive. Whenever that happens a certain song starts to roll through my head; so since I don't have much to say at the moment I thought I would share it with you, because as I have come to know, even a sinner stops to pray from time to time.

The perfect Autumn ensemble - Featuring Ashmoot, and Desmonia

If you have ever spent any time in the mountains of Arizona in the Fall, then you know how amazingly beautiful it can be, and how temperamental the weather is as well. The skies are crystal blue, with gorgeous white, fluffy clouds and the temperatures rise into the 70's during the day, while the evenings are dotted with campfires and bonfires, the smell of smoke in the air, sweaters and temps that dive into the 30's. As you can guess, getting dressed in the morning for the rest of the day can be a bit tricky, and I have come to understand the true meaning of layering, and I find myself wishing I could get away with some of the Autumn fashions I see donning the cover of the latest fashion magazines. But thanks to Second Life, I get to do just that, and this new ensemble from Ashmoot looks like it just came out of the pages of the October issue of Vogue magazine!

From head to toe this entire outfit is incredibly well designed, textured, and the attention to detail is absolutely amazing! The oversized sweater goes perfectly over the flirty, skater styled skirt, the jewelry and glasses are expertly designed to add the perfect details, and check out this magnificent purse that comes in two styles with and without poses. I just had to take more than one photo so I could show off all the details, including the gorgeous new nails and lips from Alaskametro and the fantastic shoes and stockings, also from Ashmoot, that complete this ensemble.

All the items from Ashmoot are currently available at Designer Circle, which opened on the 15th and will run through the 28th, which means you have a little bit of time to head over and grab this ensemble for yourself. In case you needed any more incentive let me give you some more details! The shoes come in 3 different colors, so you can choose to spice up this outfit even more, as well as 2 choices for the purse, and there is also a Ghost version of the sweater, a perfect choice for a casual Halloween party or to just get into the spirit of the season a little bit.

And while you are out and about on the grid, stop by the Cosmetics Fair and check out these gorgeous new Tangerine lipsticks from Alaskametro. They come in 10 different shades with Classic avatar tattoos, as well as applier sets for OMEGA, LeLutka and Catwa mesh heads. The Cosmetics Fair began on the 15th and will run through the end of the month, so stop by and check out all the amazing new releases from your favorite cosmetics creators. Happy shopping and I hope you enjoy all the goodies you pick up while out and about!

The Black Swan’s Song – Featuring Virtual Diva, Petit Chat, Truth, Uber, Swank, Dead Dollz, Project Se7en

Due to circumstances beyond my control with my health lately, I have been unable to post as much as I would have liked. As I sit here tonight with time on my hands for the first time in a bit I can't seem to come up with a witty story or anecdote. Two and a half years ago I had the scariest 29 days of my life, and it seems my body has decided to do a repeat performance of that moment in time. And though I am not as afraid as I was the first time possible Breast Cancer was mentioned, I am also finding it harder to stay positive. For the last year it has been one thing right after the other in regards to my health and I am just ready for this roller coaster to stop. So instead of trying to eek out something meaningless I am simply going to talk to you about how I fell in love with this Black Swan creature I put together, and I hope you do too!

The Black Swan's Song - Featuring Virtual Diva, Truth and Petit Chat

Just in time for that most Hallowed of seasons, Virtual Diva has created this stunning Black Swan ensemble, complete with feathers, crown, skirt and appliers, as well as this GORGEOUS eye makeup applier for LeLutka! I was looking for an updo hairstyle when I stumbled across this new release from Truth currently available at Uber, which is where I went to pick up Dead Dollz Ballet outfit so I could grab the perfect toe shoes and tights, bringing the entire ensemble together. And after that I literally scampered off to FOXCITY because I remembered they had a set of sexy ballet poses recently, but I got lost and stumbled into a bunch of purchases, and I couldn't be happier! From the stunning backgrounds, to props, to amazingly detailed poses, everything is a MUST have for anyone who takes photos, so head there if you haven't become addicted yet! And because this photo wasn't enough to show off the makeup or the new cuffs from Petit Chat, I just HAD to take a close up!

The Black Swan's Song - Featuring Petit Chat, Virtual Diva and Truth

I adore this skin from Essences that was in the September Powder Pack, and for some reason I have started leaning towards the paler skins, only if they have great shading and details like this one does, and I have planned a little trip by the store to pick up a few more appliers for my LeLutka head. Ok, now check out these fantastic new cuffs from Petit Chat, only available for a few more days at the Project Se7en event. The Atlas Cuffs are 100% Original Mesh and are HUD driven, offering 6 options for the Metal and Leather, as well as 4 selections for the dots. I have chosen to customize the set to make them black on black, which you can do this as well, as each piece can be modified, so make sure to check out the Notecards in your package for Customization Tricks. If you haven't checked out the wonderful items from Petit Chat, then do yourself a favor and grab these cuffs, customize until your heart is content and find out what the fuss is all about!

As usual, a song has been playing through my head all day, so I must share with all of you and then bid you goodnight!

Just a simple country girl at heart - Featuring Emberotic's Fashion Designs and Hudson's Clothing Company

Since Fall seems to have skipped over northern Arizona, my mind has been drifting back home to the southern Midwest, where I fell in love with Autumn. The sun filled days, with a bit of a soft breeze on the air that happens to have a bit more of a chill in it than August; the Oaks, Maples, and Sycamore trees in a color battle, creating a multi-hued landscape of yellows, oranges and crimson; the smell of the last Honeysuckle on the vines; bonfires at night, where sweatshirts and jeans are enough to keep out the crisp, Fall, evening air; and roasted peanuts to keep your fingers warm as you watch the Friday night football game. Though Flagstaff has become home, and I am finally living a bit like the country girl I truly am, I still miss the boondocks were I came from, and the slow Mississippi that made me.

When I unpacked this cute and flirty ensemble from Emberotic's Fashion Designs I was hit with a bit of nostalgia, and I was suddenly loading my "Missing Home" mix on Youtube and thinking about the Autumn's of my past. The Country Plaid Top and Teaser Denim Jean Shorts are brand new releases, and can be found at the store as well as the Marketplace, making it quite simple to pick these up for yourself. Whether doing a little country roleplay, staying true to yourself, or you just want a cute and sexy outfit for these Fall nights, these items are a great addition to any closet. The shirt has a HUD giving you several color options, as well as appliers for the bra, using the Omega system, the shorts are also HUD driven making them incredibly versatile, so hurry and make them yours today! And if you happen to love simple, yet attractive and versatile jewelry, then stop by Hudson's Clothing Company and grab this brand new necklace and earrings collection. The Tied Back Onyx set has two necklaces so you can mix and match them, making the look your own, and when you are in the store check out the new group gift as well, since it's this same jewelry collection but in Ruby, instead of Onyx. The pieces are incredibly well made, with fabulous textures, you just have to see to believe! If you are looking to spend a few Lindens, then I hope I have inspired you!

I don't want to settle for good not great. Featuring Hudson's, Desmonia, and Powder Pack

Making relationships last takes a lot of work on both parts. But it's that commitment to doing the work, I think, that is the foundation for a good relationship. Even when things get bad, and the stress levels are approaching overload; when you are struggling to like each other, the commitment to making it, together, is what makes you stronger, as a couple. But I think sometimes we lose sight of why we fell in love in the first place, and that we all need a little reminding from time to time.

Remind Me

We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you

Now we keep saying that we're OK
But I don't want to settle for good not great
I miss the way that it felt back then
I wanna feel that way again

Been so long that you'd forget
The way I used to kiss your neck
Remind me, remind me
So on fire, so in love
Way back when we couldn't get enough
Remind me, remind me

Remember the airport dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop
I felt bad cause you missed your flight
But that meant we had one more night

Do you remember how it used to be
We'd turn out the lights and didn't just sleep
Remind me baby remind me

Oh so on fire so in love
That look in your eyes that I miss so much
Remind me, baby remind me

I wanna feel that way
Yeah I wanna hold you close
Oh if you still love me
Don't just assume I know

Oh baby remind me, remind me

Do you remember the way it felt?
You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves
Remind me, yeah remind me

All those things that you used to do
That made me fall in love with you
Remind me, oh baby remind me

Yeah you'd wake up in my old t-shirt
All those mornings I was late for work
Remind me, oh baby remind me yeah
Oh baby remind me baby remind me

Locked up tight! Featuring Petit Chat, Powder Pack and Truth

The last 24 hours have proven to be the most stressful we have had in months, but at least this time it wasn't all negative stress! Since yesterday morning we have found out I need to have heart surgery before Christmas, my son's ultrasound was inexplicably moved up to today, my other half got a job interview for today, and by the end of the day yesterday, he also had a job offer just outside Seattle, WA and we are currently in Arizona. Needless to say our heads are spinning and I'm not sure if we can tell up from down at the moment. A bit ago I wrote a post about chasing after your dreams, and now the kids are looking to us to see if we are going to follow them or watch an opportunity pass us by. We were really thinking about how he was going to move there while I stayed here with the kids, for the last one to graduate, which would have meant 9 months apart. Good news came on that front today, when they told him they would hold the job for 6 months, which has made both of us breathe a bit easier, but it sure hasn't relieved the stress associated with this decision. So if I seem a bit scattered I apologize, and I hope you can all bare with me during this interesting time in my life!

As usual I ran away to Second Life to try and zone out for a bit and let the world fall away and it worked! For just a little while I was able to concentrate on something else and I think my blood pressure has settled back down and my heart is beating normally instead of like a junior high Jazz band on the first day of school, well that was until I started this post! (LOL) But beautiful things have a habit of making me relax and this whole ensemble of new releases did just that, at least for a few minutes! I don't even know where to start here with all these goodies, so I will start from the bottom up with this adorable new release from Petit Chat for The Darkness Monthly event that runs through the 30th. The Lock Me necklace is perfect for keeping those precious things locked up tight! This is a 100% original mesh creation from Petit Chat and it comes with an amazing HUD with 4 options for the metals on each piece, so if you want to keep your heart under lock and key then head on over to the event today and grab yours, you won't be disappointed! I know I am a bit late in opening my Powder Pack for September, but well, now you know why! When I started going through the newest releases I was blown away by the gorgeous Autumn color palettes most designers leaned towards in this release including the GORGEOUS makeup release from Arise for the September Powder Pack for LeLutka. The eyes and lips are complimentary to each other and the appliers are fantastic with no extra lip hanging over or misplaced lines on the eyes, making it a MUST have addition to your makeup case. And if you happen to be looking for new natural looking lashes and brows then you need to grab this release, even for the over 3K price, because I promise you won't be disappointed. After all, you can have the same skin in a hundred different photos and no one will know if you have tons of makeup options, which has become the way I save money on Second Life. I sign up early so I can pay less for the Powder Pack - LeLutka release, and then switch out the makeups for different photos so I'm not running around looking for new skins every other post! I hope I have inspired those of you who haven't invested in the Powder Pack's yet to head over and sign up and remember to check out The Darkness Monthly event for some darkly delicious finds!

"As free as birds catching the wind." Featuring Empyrean Forge, !!smesh and Desmonia

The last year and a half of my life has been like a topsy turvy whirlwind of strange ups and downs, weird health issues and LOVE. After being single for a very long time, and handling things on my own, no matter how hard, I have come to realize that it doesn't matter what life throws at you, it becomes easier when you have someone with which to share it. I had become a bit resigned to being single for the rest of my life and had no intention of getting into a relationship, but to be honest, it was the best decision I never made! My wonderful man and I were on the same page, and we were enjoying having someone to help make dinner for the boys and hanging out as friends when suddenly the universe jumped up with other plans for us. So it wasn't a decision for us, it just happened, and though there have been struggles we couldn't have even imagined, I know neither of us would change a thing. The love of the family we have created together and our commitment to each other, makes life just a little bit easier. All of this was to lead into the fact that I am not a Miley Cyrus fan, at least with what she puts out on the radio, until the recent release of "Malibu", and when I heard it through my speakers through Spotify, I was hooked. In one moment the last year and a half of my life was summed up in a song, and though my toes may not be wiggling in the sands of Malibu, the feeling is the same.

I haven't showcased the We Love to Blog group and it's multitude of designers in a post in a while, so when I unboxed these goodies I JUST had to put them together along with this gorgeous new release from Empyrean Forge! I absolutely love this new hair from Desmonia, a new release in the store. It fits perfectly with mesh heads and if you haven't checked out the colors from Desmonia, then you really need to do yourself a favor and head by the store, and while there check out all the other new releases. It has been a bit since I have picked up anything from !!smesh, I hate to admit, so when I saw a release in the We Love to Blog group I got all excited, and this dress does not disappoint. The Knitted Dress is intricately detailed and fits perfectly on Maitreya, but comes with plenty of other sizes, so I am sure you will find the perfect fit! The dress comes in a variety of colors as well, with some showing a bit more of your naughty bits because of how they show up under the knit. And if you are looking for the perfect jewelry collection to accent any outfit, then head over to FaMESHed and grab the Sequoia Trio from Empyrean Forge. The necklaces are individual pieces and come with their own HUDS making it incredibly versatile, making it a must have addition to your jewelry box! Do yourself a favor and pick up a few of thee pieces and go sink your toes into the sand on your favorite beach sim and relax and unwind.

The start of a beautiful romance - Featuring IT! and Dafnis

Lately I have been absolutely appalled at the body shaming and self hate that I have seen all over my Facebook page and other social media sites and I have become to question almost everything. How far we have really come as a human race when HATE seems to be the prevailing emotion? Where did the love go? When did people start teaching their children to hate instead of LOVE? The media would make you believe that body shaming is something of the past and that the definition of "fit" has changed, but with so many men and women continuing to hate their own bodies you have to wonder how much has really changed? This body you live in every day is the ONLY one you get, and whether you are carrying too much weight, have scars, stretch marks, your lips are too big, or your ears stick out, you have to learn to LOVE it and to treat it right, it will notice. A long time ago I came across a famous quote by one of my favorite Authors and Playwrights, and it resonated so deeply that I have carried it with me for years now on plaques, posters and key chains, and I wish people would remember that their first love should be themselves!

To love oneself is the beginning of a life long romance.

This gorgeous set of bracelets are exclusive to the current round of The Avenue, where they are being offered for 35% off, so hurry up, you cannot beat these prices for this quality! The Farah bracelets by IT! come in several different styles with accompanying HUDS allowing you several different choices of metals and gems, making this collection incredibly versatile and just has to make it into your jewelry box! I promise you won't be disappointed in the quality of the design or textures because they are both incredibly well done with a great attention to detail. And as the Summer winds down, I know many of you are looking for the perfect classically styled bikini to wear to the last pool parties of the season, and this new release from Dafnis for the SPOTLIGHT event is exactly what you are looking for! I love the HUD and options as well as the color combinations, and the classic bikini style and you even can be a bit daring and make them sheer, just in case you were looking to have all eyes on you!
