The Broil is ALIVE!

I've had a pretty shit day today with appointments for the eye doctors and the hygiënist, so I feel like my eyes are sore and I've been punched in the teeth. 
I'm hungry and feel like I need some food, but my face hurts... What do I want to eat? What would make me happy? What do I fancy for my dinner?

There are so many different foods out there... Every culture has their own cuisine, and some have different versions of their own cuisines from other countries. It's common knowledge that a Chicken Tikka Masala is the new national dish of England, and we think of it as an Indian Curry, when it is in fact an Englishized version and definitely not the sort of thing you'd get yourself in India...
I love to explore different sorts of food, and have recently become totally obsessed with Sushi... There is one type of food that I want to get myself a dinner of. I would LOVE to try Seafood Broil - like the one made by dust bunny - as they always look SO delicious when you see the videos online. 
Unfortunately today when I got myself a delicious portion of Seafood Broil, it seemed like some of the crab was not properly cooked... There's a few of those Crabby McStabby - cute little crabs from Aardvark - wild crabs on the warpath as I had broiled their cousins... I was so startled and moved so fast my soda got spilled and now I need to find something else for dinner...

Bobbing in the Fall

Since the Autumn season seems to be very much upon us in this part of the world, and since people are going a little pumpkin obsessed in SL too, I'm starting to get into the spirit of the season and I LOVE this time of year... There are so many things going on and so much fun to be had, but one of those things that I may need a little more practice in for during the Halloween Season is apple bobbing... 

I love all things Halloween but I have NEVER been very good at Bobbing for Apples. Do people even still do that anymore? Has it all stopped since Covid ruined things? What the heck, this year I will be good and ready, I'm gonna get some practice in before October comes... I've rigged up a game for myself, a full Apple Bobbing Bucket - thanks to MadPea at the current round of ACCESS until October 8th - filled with some delicious red apples.. It's a chill day, I've wrapped up warm in a cute Isla outfit from miss chelsea, and made sure my friendly Autumn Bears were wrapped up Cozy too...

The Fight of Angels

A day off, a chance to relax and let myself drift off into a fantasy word, where the monsters no longer hide in the shadows and the light in me feels strong enough to force itself to fight for it's happiness... I've been deaing with a lot of stress, wishing that things would improve in my family life, my work life and with my health... I'm fighting to get through the pain at the moment and hoping my grandmother keeps fighting... 

Angels fighting the chains that bind them... Chains that control my health - my pain level is high at the moment and I'm suffering due to being  girl! My grandmother has been in the hopsital over a month, she was moved to a recovery center and promptly moved back because she keeps fainting, so the angels are fighting to guide her through this. I've got to deal with issues of problem coleagues at work, and I am desperate to go home for Christmas... May the angels break free frrom these changes and kick some problematic butt... All while looking ethereal and dangerous...

Apples in Autumn

September is technically the start of Autumn, and today it feels like the weather has finally gotten that memo. It's supposed to be cooling down, although the colours of nature are starting to heat up as green changes to orange and red... I love that the air is getting crisper, that the raindrops mix with the falling leaves... I am refusing to think about pumpkins for a few weeks, but I did decide to help out with another amazing Autumn activity... It's harvest time... 

I LOVE a crunchy apple, something red and juicy, or green and crisp, caramelled or dried or pricked straight from the tree...
I'll pick a few apples in the gardens of Second Life - like the backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis... I'll turn some to candy apples, some to scrumpy cider and maybe even use a few to make a pie... Now I'm getting hungry lol... 
It's also the perfect time to start dressing in the warm, snuggly knit wear of Autumn. A large Baggy Sweater, over some figure hugging leather pants - like the Wren Set by miss chelsea, available until September 30th at Anthem - accessorised with a sun hat - like the one that comes with the Lamb hair - and some larger than life Oversized Specs - the one's I've chosen to wear from the new French Touch event, and the designs of Boutique #187 - to keep off the cool, and the sun from my eyes... I love this time of the year, I CANNOT wait to enjoy all that comes with Autumn for the next few months...

Fluffies and Sparklies

I go through days of randomness where I want to do silly things, I want to do dark and deadly things, I want to do futuristic cyborg type things and then there are days like today when I want to be a sparkly fantasy being that's living in a world of brilliance and colours... I love each and every mode of my brain, but for some reason days like this, I feel bright and effervescent... I LOVE taking a walk through the stars... 

I know that I have a random style, you never know what my pictures will be like on any given day and that's why I feel like my blog is a definite form of therapy for me... Doesn't matter what my mood is when I start, doesn't matter what the picture looks like in the outcome, I'll always be feeling a little lighter, a lote more relaxed and will definitely be smiling... 
Today the smiles are bright and colourful, cute and fluffy, magically angellic with a hint of "awww look at that thing"... An angel walking on and through the clouds, talking to the Fuzz Balls - from Sakura - and the Magical Bears - from Tardfish for the current round of Kawaii Secrets - stretching her Ethereal Wings - by Doe, who is at the moment making simply amazing wings that I admit I'm totally addicted to - and letting the light dance under the Fairytale Umbrella - a gorgeous creation from YOKAI...

I Wish I Could Bake Cakes!

I have been working on bettering myself this year...
I've been exercising more and have lost around 25kilos. I'm reading more so that I spend less time looking at a screen, which is helping me with a reduction in headaches and a better feeling about myself, as a way to relaxing and taking my mind off to places that aren't my normal. I'm trying to work on my photography skills, improving my pictures and taking time to try taking pictures of other things, broadening my horizons if you will. Everything is getting better, everything is making me feel better in myself and I'm proud of the changes that I've been making... Now what do I want to do to improve myself?

I'm good with reading, I'm good with taking pictures - and I'm not one of the best but what I do makes me happy anyway - and I LOVE crocheting so much that my blanket is ALMOST ready. I love cooking and make a mean curry, but there is one skill that I am really wanting to improve on is learning how to bake... My mum makes the most amazing fruit cakes, my sister is a champion cookie maker, if I so much as attempt at baking a cake with boxed ingredients I could burn the house down. I LOVE CAKE. I wish I could bake cakes. It would save me so much money if I could bake rather than buy cakes! 
Once I've gotten better skills, I think I could start a business... Baking cakes for willing victims, I mean, customers... A Spooky Cake, boed and ready to be collected - from Junk Food - and a Cheeky Cake with a sexy suggestion that will hopefully get someone lucky - like the cakes from Krescendo, available until September 10th at FaMESHedX - there should be cakes for everyone!!

Wrong Turn!

Having fun at the beach is always fun. I LOVE being on the beach in a storm, I love collecting seashells and sea glass, I love gazing into the distance and watching the waves... My mother could spend HOURS floating around in the sea, I don't like to swim in the sea though because I'm a little on edge about the fishies lol... Some people LOVE being sporty on the beach with running or some extreme watersports. I've even seen places where you can zorb on the water...

While I sat on the beach buried in a book, Rudh decided to try her hand at zorbing, slipping into the Giant Ball - created by MadPea, and available until September 8th at ACCESS - and running around on the waves... 
After a little while all that running made her start to feel tired. She fell in the ball and within minutes she was caught up on the tied, swept away on an adventure, taking a wrong turn on the current she ended up floating further away than anyone would have ever realised... 
Dressed for the beach and not for the snow, it's hard to get the penguins - an older release from Jian that could come in handy soon since the winter is coming fast - to take her seriously... Anyone know how to ask for directions home in penguin?!
