Pumpkin Carving on a Sugar High

Halloween is coming and it's getting closer and closer, there is no stopping the snowball effect of th arrival of the Spooky Season... I LOVE this time of year, it's been fun to decorate, it's been fun to get into costumes and I have 22 more days of Halloween looks still to come...
Today I've decided to prep some of the decorations for my home, I wanted to start carving pumpkins to make my house feel more festive... Carving pumpkins can be a little messy, and since it's Halloween I get messy with candy too, but since it's so much fun, when the big people leave the room, the little spirits come out to play... 

Once the big people have gone, and the spirits come out to play in the pumpkins... The adorable little Cute Spooky pumpkin ghost - from YOKAI - was dancing around his favourite veggies, while the Little Crows - also from YOKAI but available at Satan Inc until November 1st - get silly and search for their own fab little Halloween costumes... If you look closely, you will also spot a cheeky little Pumpkin Fae fluttering through the pumpkins, laughing at the carved faces and indulging on the sweet treats, like the Pumpkin Candy Latte - from Junk Food - and the delicious donuts that were left by the Big People. She got such a fit of the giggles, the sugar instantly making her high, and she couldn't help but  sprinkle some of her fairy dust to go for a little "Pumpkin Ride" - an awesome vehicle from Ananas, available until October 22nd at Salem.

The Month of Love - Second Life Calendar 2017

It's early February and as the days begin to get lighter for longer I am hoping that this year will be more successful than the last. So far things aren't looking so bright, but you never know there is plenty of time for it to all change right?
You may remember last month, I started a challenge called Second Life Calendar (Challenge) and so today I bring to you my February instalment of my Second Life Calendar!

February is a month that is dedicated to LOVE - although I personally feel love should be celebrated all year by anyone and everyone. Valentines hearts and romance seem to dominate the month, with Anti-Valentines being sent and shared too, and you're always left guessing will I or will I not be someone's sweetheart!
So let's have a few non-Valentine's facts about February, shall we? 
As the shortest month of the year, February in the Welsh language is often called "y mis bach", which translates to little month, although the Saxons referred to it as "Solmonath"- the month of mud or wet sand, which seems fairly appropriate - whilst in the 8th century it was referred to as the "month of cakes" due to all the sweet treats being offered to the Gods. The month of cakes sounds so much better than the more realistic Solmonath name I feel?! With an amethyst birthstone and the flower of the month being the violet, this purple month is the only one that could pass without a full moon!!! 
Now let's talk about this month's calendar picture, I've decided to share a larger version of the picture that I used so you can see things a bit more clearly!

The outfit is made up of older bits and pieces, things that I've had stashed away including this adorable Faux Fur Stole and Dress set from Foxes, which seemed to work perfectly with the simply gorgeous Anais Necklace from Kunglers, and seemed to be a great look for exploring the Winter Moon location. 
I just hope that it doesn't snow anymore, and hope that I can keep myself from getting too excited about March... March is one of the best months of the year!!! 

What is she wearing
Hair: Truth - Miriam in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Shawl: Foxes - Faux Fur Stole in Autumn Hues 
Necklace: (Kunglers) - Anais Necklace in Moss 
Dress: Foxes - Sweater Dress in Autumn Hues 
Pose: Signature Pose - Sensation, Pose Set 23 

Taking a walk at Neverfar

How did it get so hot so fast?! For the last few days I've felt like I've been melting and today is shaping up to be more of the same! I've never really been a fan of hot weather, I'm much more of an Autumn and Winter kind of girl. I mean OK when you go on Vacation, you want sunny weather but then you aren't stuck at home doing the chores and working the jobs and you can just kick back, relax and enjoy!
Still I guess being stuck to my computer due to working so much does have it's perks... I can spend more time in SL taking pictures than normal LOL... I'm exploring, shopping and taking some pretty pictures all at the same time, so I guess it's a little like a holiday?! Perhaps?! 

It's exactly the case of what happened here... I'd been wearing a gorgeous new dress from Petite Mort - the Henna Slip Dress in a teal colour which is available at the current round of Tres Chic just in case you were wondering - and decided to take my new little buddy that I adopted recently on a walk somewhere different and new... 
The location is a place called Neverfar, and it's got a serene but also haunting feel to it... It's definitely worth checking out. 
If you're thinking about adopting a puppy like I did I should let you know that my new little friend is an adorable Countryside Collie from Jian. To adopt one is very simple, just head to their special adoptions location at The Epiphany and you too could walk away with your own adorable little friend... 
OH while I'm rambling, there is one last thing that really does deserve a new noteworthy mention... My new favourite Hair! I seem to be wearing this all the time at the moment, and not only does it look cute, I donated to a great cause when I bought it! This is a Hair Fair release from the store Blues. I am kinda ashamed to admit it, but I've never really paid much attention to Blues hair until very recently... Maybe it's time I did a little more Blues shopping?! 
OK OK I am done rambling... Time to enjoy my walk before the sun gets too hot...

Hair: Blues -  Heather in Colours 2 (Available until July 31st in Backlot Central at the Hair Fair)
