Pineapples!

I don't very often get cravings for things, I tend to allow myself to always have a little of what I want because if I start craving something and eventually get my hands on things, then I will eat far too much and end up feeling yucky... On hot days like this, I am drinking so much water but I like to eat something salty so that it helps as I'm sweating. I don't tend to go for something sweet...
Fruit is delicious but I get picky and go through phases of what I want... There is a fruit on my mind at the moment... PINEAPPLE! 

I am not  HUGE pineapple fan, I have to say I don't love it, and it certainly doesn't belong on pizza, but when it's hot and summery, there is just something about Pineapple that makes me want lots of it... 
Rings, Sticks, Crushed into icy drinks or pulped into Ice Cream... Everything is going to be so delicious... The smell of the delicious pineapple is even luring in the little pineapple fae... Aren't they cute?!

Bathing Sunflowers

After a long hard day at work, I'm partial to a bath or a shower... Something where hot water soaks away the cares of the day so that I can unwind. I used to HATE a bath because I felt like I was stewing in my own dirty water but I miss having one now that I don't have the option... Showers are nice but standing for longer than I need to makes me feel like UGHHHHHH not AHHHHH...

There are lots and lots of different places in the world to have a bath, but the favourite place of the sunflower folk is the sunflower Funflower farm... You can relax in a warm bath, in the sun, while the bees do a buzzy dance to entertain...

Only Books have the Answers!

Today has been a busy but lovely day... I got to see my mum for a few hours when her cruise docked in Amsterdam - she said my tour was much nicer than the one offered by the cruise operators - and then after a very hectic morning, I came home to relax... I had a shower, got into something comfortable and promptly took a nap. I'd been planning to read, but I only managed a few pages before I passed out... 

Nothing like curling up with a good book, I LOVE reading under a blanket with a cuppa... I've been reading so much this year, and I realised the other day when I didn't get a chance to read before bed that I had trouble falling asleep... 
Like I said though, being in my jammies, with a good book, a cup of tea or coffee and my darling pussy cats - like the Bat-titude and Arachno Cats from Aardvark at the current round of ACCESS - can make everything better. In this case, I'm sat with a voodoo doll friend of mine whilst I look through the Necronomicon as the mess of my desk wasn't revealling the information I needed it too... Not even my Pendulum Prediction Board - from MadPea, available until November 10th at Kustom9 - wasn't able to find the answers...

A Fairy Bath in the Woods!

Sunday's have always been referred to as Bath Night in my house.. It goes back to when I was a kid and we had to get ready for school on Monday morning. It doesn't mean that I only bath once a week, as I've heard from some random idiot that I shared this story with in the past, because we in fact DO shower more than once a week in this part of Europe - he was convinced that we didn't wash lol - but it's kinda stuck that we always jokingly say it's bath night... 

In Rudh's little corner of the world it's also bathnight, but because she's always a little different and today she's in fae form and when the fae have a bath they have to do something a little different... 
There's not that many safe places for the fairies to have a bath because they are so little they can be washed away easily... Down by the Babbling Brooks - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - there is a little Fairy Glade - filled with ruins and candles from the Enchantment of Simply Shelby - where the big people have created the perfect bath space for a little fae... All the water is channelled through a Teapot Fountain - which is a current group gift from MadPea - it's warmed in the teapot through magic which then pours out the spout to make for the perfect fae bath...

Rudhbow Brite!

I am an 80's child, born in 1986 and raised through the 90's I look back on my childhood fondly. I've been thinking about having children of my own lately, and although I love kids I wonder what kind of Mum I'd make. I'm still too much of a kid mentally, I love doing things that are childish and I wonder would I be any good if I had to be the example... It's not something that I need to think about, it won't be happening for a while... 
I'll just use the time to look back on my childhood and one of my favourite characters... Rainbows are EVERYWHERE in SL at the moment, thanks to Pride, but there's always ONE Rainbow that sticks out...

Flower Petals and Leaves

A lovely day off today... It's been a peaceful day, and that was very much needed as I've been going crazy all over the place lately. 
I wanted to slip into a little fantasy place, somewhere that my mind could be restful and enjoy the warm sunshine that is drenching my gardens. The sunshine was making me feel magical, the sunshine made me feel like I could be a fairy in a ruined garden... That was when the magical me came to life... 

Being in the mystical gardens by the Swimming Hole - an older but still a good one from Synnergy.Tavis - the magical Swamp Gazebo - a release from Violetility at Wasteland - appears in the evening sunlight, made more magical today by the solar eclipse. 
There's a leafy imp, part fae, part demon that identifies as a Forest Demon - created using items from Forest Fantasy Store at We Love Roleplay - talking to her Living Leaf Minions - part of the Magic Collection by BROKEN ARROWS - and planning an event of lunar proportions...

Movie Night Tonight!

Today is a day that has to be celebrated... How often is it that a day so important to the dark and twisted, a Friday the 13th,  falls in October... Today is the perfect day for us to take a little trip into the woods and head to a camp site known to many as Camp Crystal Lake in search of our favourite friend, Mr Jason Voorhees... Other Horror Movie villains come and go, so more important and well liked than others, but for me and in our house, none is better than the king of slasher villains... We watch his movies every Friday the 13th, but this year is a special one right?! It could not be something we missed...  

I got home from work, to a delicious dinner of fried chicken served in a seasonally themed Trick or Chicken style - from Hangry at the new round of equal10 - and we sat to watch an old VHS tape with THE best of the scary movies - from a Scary Movie Set created by Junk Food - although I admit that any time we got to the scary bits I would find some interesting message pop up on my Cute Psycho Black Phone - available from Boutique #187 at the SL Shop & Hop...
I'm not entirely sure that my teddy bear pals are keen on me playing around on my phone though, the Scare Bears - that I've had for a few years from Sakura - decided to stop me playing with my phone and make me focus on the movie by going on the attack, one of them going a little too far by accidentally cutting into my throat so that the blood went everywhere and totally soaked my jammies... Doesn't surprise me though, I knew that if I was ever going to be part of a Horror Movie Brat Pack I'd end up being the First to Die as I seem to have been magically labelled on my chest - thanks to an amazing tattoo with various different designs in a pack from Adora-tions at the new round of #BIGGIRL...

Baddie of Mario Land

Sometimes I find myself getting a little random in my blogging... I guess that I live up to the name sake of my blog really. I start with an item, get confused, find another item that kinda looks cool with the first item and after a few minutes my mind whizzes off to the most random of places... 
For me today that random place my mind went to happened to be Mario Land because the idea that came bouncing into my mind was started by a hat and teamed with some gloves and tadaaaaaaa.... I was dressing myself Bowser Style... 

I can't help where my mind runs off to, I never knew that Mario Land would be so much fun especially when I went from being the good guy before to being on the bad team... 
I started with one of those amazing Neon Demon Hat - from Tardfish - and I know that Bowser doesn't wear horns but maybe I'll be like his crazed cousin Demser. I feel like I could get myself worked up, I want to beat things up so that they don't get in the way, I have a set of amazing Smash Hands - from Junk Food - and knock the bad stuff down... All I need to do is Level Up...

Sunnies Behaving Badly!

A Happy Sunny, Sunday, the first of July... WHAT THE HECK, HOW CAN IT ALREADY BE JULY?! This month will be brilliant, I have to get some more training to be able to run the store on my own for the whole of August, and at the end of the month HellBone and I will be taking a short vacation to go home and see my family in the UK - it's a break that is very much needed... 
I will always be the first to admit that I HATE Summer. It's the season I could live without, since I really dislike the heat. I will admit however that I love the brilliantly bright colours of Summer, the sunshine on the flowers and the fact that Ice Lollies are a must in this heat... 

One of my favourite things come out of summer... Sunflowers are summer flowers and they match the season very well with their bright colour and smily sunshiney faces, and so of course I can never miss the opportunity to visit a Sunflower Farm... 
As with a lot of places in my world, there are fairies on this farm... These fairies are best friends with all of the Sunnys the Happy Flowers- the Sunny Happy Flowers that are both with and without the sungless are from Aardvark for this weekend's sales events - that live in the fields and are supposed to put on a good example for the new little sunflowers that are brought in by hand - from Junk Food - to join the family...

Bug Hunting in the Creek

I feel like I'm on a bit of a fantasy kick at the moment, but that's not entirely my fault as so many designers out there are making such wonderfully fairytale-ish things, AND it's definitely NOT a bad thing... I always say I feel happy when I'm in a dark, macabre state, but when I can let my inner fairy out to play I feel like awesome sauce... 
I normally let my mind wander and create an amazing story in my head around the fairy stylings, but that doesn't always need to be the case. Fairies can just be super cute little magical pretties as much as they need to be fairies of a specific thing, and so today we're going to play in the garden with one of those special little ladies... She's found down by the creek, where the creepy crawlies like to hide... 

The creek is located within the gorgeous Jungle Harmony - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and here you may find our little fairy flitting in and out of the grasses... She's playing with her little insect friends and roaming like a Summer Explorer - thanks to the Summerfest release from KitCat, available until July 9th - and she's decorated herself in leaves and daisies - thanks to a past Mug gacha collection - to lure in the bumblebees and the Monarch Butterflies - on a headband from Boutique #187 exclusively at Hair Fair 2023, where a portion of the sale price goes to helping Wigs for Kids, but I'll talk about that more later hehe -

Fairy Cakes for Dinner!

Keukenhof - the national tulip gardens in the Netherlands - has officially opened now, and there are SO MANY PEOPLE visiting the Netherlands, making work a busy, stressful, crazy place so that now I'm back home all I want to do is drift off into a fantasy place where I don't have to deal with people...

The Most Expensive Thing at the Museum!

Sometimes I get random ideas that start as one thing and end up in another, but as soon as I saw one of the items that was a special free gift for Valentines I couldn't resist the chance to do something silly with it... 
Valentine's is coming fast and furious, there is so much in the way of hearts and flowers and cute lovey dovey stuff, but buying Valentine's gifts can be trecherous and dangerous... For 2023, if you want something extremely special, something very expensive, and natural, maybe you need to look in the dairy aisle of the supermarket... 

2023's most expensive treasure, The Egg - a gift from Junk Food at Cupid Inc - would make a perfect "Engagement Egg"... 
Never know, in the future a specially preserved egg could end up in a glass case in the museum as the most valued posession of this year, alongside crown jewels and diamonds, and treasures throughout the ages.

Zoobydoo of the Berry Butts

I know I'm random sometimes, but I LOVE when I get more random than normal and do things that make even me do HUH?! 
Today I saw something new released that made me have an instant lapse into a jingle from a TV commercial from a few years ago in the UK. It was one that my mum was obsessed with, and she even set the music as her ringtone... I'm not sure if you've heard it, but the Ribena Advert from the UK has one of the catchiest soundtracks ever... I've decided to add it to the end of my post, so you get to enjoy it too, but today I found myself in the strangest of berry situations... 

I'd been in the middle of posing for an art class, I had slipped in amongst the prop fruits and flowers, set up all perfect for a still life, while I pretended to be a cute little strawberry - thanks to an older release from Ananas, that you can pick up at the mainstore as part of a set called Healthy Heads. 
While I was sitting there trying not to get a case of the giggles so that I'd mess up for the artists painting the scene, when there was a strange noise through the air, a strange song like noise "Zoobydoo Zoobydoo Zoobydoo"... A tiny little space ship, parked itself on a piece of fruit, and out of it popped the most adorable little "Fruit Butt" buddies - from Tardfish at the round of DollHolic that starts today - started dancing around singing the same tune that the space ship "Zoobydoo, Zoobydoo, Zoobydoo"...Such cute, happy little berries!

Getting Home, All Snowed In!

I'm back from my vacation, and it was a lovely trip home to spend some very much needed time with my parents and sister. I enjoyed all those things I loved doing at home, things like going to second-hand stores, reading plenty of books and generally lazing around doing not a lot of anything. It's been wonderfully restful... Now though it's back to reality, and on a slippery slope to a jolly holiday... 
Talking of slippery slopes... I looks like it's been more than a little snowy in many of the pretty places in Second Life... 

I got back from my little vacation, there has been lots and lots of changes. Snow has started to fall in the pretty parts of Second Life and there has been so much snow in my corner of the Second Life world that I've been Snowed In - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - so I dumped my case on the steps and after grabbing a shovel - that comes with the pose set also from Synnergy.Tavis - and deidd to get to work. While digging out the snow, and started talking to my new little robin friends, as I begin to dig through the snow...

Not So Innocent Forest Friends!

If ever I feel lost when it comes to the blogging, I tend to find myself heading into a fantasy world, the sparkles and the magic draw me in and seem to somehow make magic happen. When I start getting the creative bug with the pretty magical feeling, I find myself getting lost in the picture all day and then once the magic has coarsed through me, everything seems to become easier... 
I'm hiding in a magical forest glade right now, somewhere I can be alone and don't have to think about anything, but somewhere that may not be as innocent as it seems... 

The glade in the forest - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis, and a whole host of Fireflies from tarte and MishMish -seems so perfectly sparkly, so far away from the rest of the world. 
Though it's not all as sweet and innocent as it may appear, there is more to this pretty grove in the woods, there's more to the glade than meets the eye... If you look closely you'll notice that the log isn't wood, it's actually a soft comfy pillow - from Elm - that makes for a handy bed, but other things also point to a slightly naughty side, look closely at the set of the Forest Friends - from Krescendo, you'll see things more clearly!!!

The Flowers have Eyes

 It's been an eventful day for me, I went on a RL adventure to another location and it's always interesting as an adventure goes... Whenever I go on an adventure in RL, I find myself wanting to go on adventures in my SL as well... As it's almost Halloween, I can do just that, I can let my mind wander off to a magical place, where the flowers have a very dark almost Wonderland feel, and their caretaker is more than a little green fingered and unseelie... 

This garden has a lot of the wonder, a little of the magic and a lot more of the creepy... The Roses have eyes, the flowers have a spidery look, and even the trees are twisted and curly - thanks to LOVE - but still it's the eyes that are the strangest parts of this garden... The flowers communicate with the fae that her, half fae, half demon - a release from Forest Fantasy Store with additional greenery from GERMINAL in the After Dark Green Tattoo and Drow Sleeves - seems to be sprouting from her body. She's a Forest Fae - in an outfit from Decoy - with a touch of darkness in her wings - from Quills & Curiosities - but she's really a Shy Eyeris - thanks to the awesome flowers from Tardfish.

Fairies that Flicker in the Starlight

No matter how much I try to convince myself that if I was a fantasy creature it would be a mermaid, I seem to find myself revealing my inner fae time and time again... I can't help it, the Fairy in me loves to sparkle and shine, and just like my demonic self she's a bit of a show off... 
One day she's an elegant, serene dancing in a garden, the next she's a dark little magical imp, sparkling in the moonlight... Today, she's dancing through the darkness on a different planet amongst the stars... 

On planet Trig - a backdrop from Paparazzi - she's dancing amongst the Astara Planets, sparkling as she goes. 
The attire for this beautiful space fae, is one of the most beautifully magical catsuits that I've ever had the pleasure of slipping my little body into, Coming soon to Cyber Fair, and is from the creative mind of Fever Fae - the brilliant designer of Decoy - the sparkly chest piece as the stars move through the sky, so do they move through her body and soul...
