Preserving the Beauty

I always seem to start my blog posts complaining about working and being tired... I'm sorry about that but it's my permanent state of being at the moment... Today was one of those weird ass days when I've not had to work because I'm shift swapping so my boss can be off for mother's day tomorrow... 
I've had time on my hands, I've been trying to relax and find myself a with some time on my hands to do something new... 

I've never been into the thought of stuffed animals, unless they are the plushie kind, or taxidermy of any kind be it big game or the tiniest little instects. I LOVE seeing them in the wild, I LOVE the butterfly house at the zoo and I'm not averse to eating the animals but they should be treated with respect and raised fairly... It seems like the kind of decor that Rudh might go for in SL though, it would be perfect decor for her little cottage core life whie the butterflies flit in and out of the windows on the breeze...

It's King's Day 2025!

Today is King's Day in the Netherlands. Normally it's held on April 27th, which is the actual day of King Willem-Alexander's Birthday, but since it's a Sunday and he doesn't wanna work we're all celebrating today... I joke I think it's a religious thing, but that does mean I get today off as the shop I work in is shut and I'm not complaining about it LOL... What is King's Day? What happens on King's Day? For those of you that have no idea, now I'm about to fill you in on the fun... 

King's Day, or Koningsdag to use it's real name, is a celebration every year for King Willem-Alexander's birthday... It can be lots of different things for different people, but most consider the day a party. Where I live in Zaandam, we have a Fair full of rides, snacks and amusement arcade games, and there is a free market where people are able to just set up in the park and sell their unwanted stuff... 
Hubby and I went over for a walk and I found a few treasures to make myself happy, and we picked upsome Olibolen which are like doughnut balls covered in powered sugar, and are DELICIOUS when hot and fresh... 
Along with the lesson I felt it was only right to share a few Dutch Snacks like some hot Snert or Pea Soup, a few Bitterballen and Gouda Bites and even some Hollandse Maatjes, that's Herring to those who don't speak Dutch, washed down with a shot of Jenever, as a picnic by the windmills in a tulip field...
Happy Kings Day everyone...

Lunch with Mum!

There have been two things about today that need to be paying a lot of attention to. First of them would be the fact that the hour has changed to summertime setting and therefore when we woke up, we had lost an hour of sleep so that it would be lighter for an hour longer each day... 
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, today is Mother's Day in the UK and so I'm spending some time thinking of my mum, missing her a bit and smiling about her a lot... I count mysef as a lucky one, my mum has always been my bestie and I love her even though I don't get to see her enough now I'm living in the NL... So this one is for Mummy...  

I don't get to see her often, like I said, I feel very lucky for the relationship with my mum. I'm also lucky in that I've still got her with me, and it's very nearly a big birthday for her... Mum turns 70 in the week... 
So since I can't be with there in person I'm going to make her a very special SL lunch... A hot steaming bow of the most delicious Paella - from Lucas Lameth - with a lovely green Fresh Salad - from Junk Food - that she can have with some of her favourite ranch dressing and some fresh crusty bread - from Nutmeg... I'll even grab the things I need to make some bubbly tropical mimosas - part of the Gokotta line from Dahlia - and set the table with her favourite spring flowers, a bunch of sunny daffodils... 
Happy Mum's Day Mum!!!

Making a Charcu-tree!

Some of you may know, others may not but I work in retail... To be exact I work in a family business Cheese Shop. The company is Henri Willig, and they ship internationally if you're interested to find out more, but mostly that's just background information for what I want to share with you today... 
Due to my experience in the shop, I am a MASTER at making a cheese board, or a fancy Charcuterie if you prefer the term, and spend all day giving advice for interesting parings that will impress any cheese - or even the odd non-cheese - lover... 

I LOVE to make a charcuterie and have to say I'm not too bad at it... Pretty good in fact, and I enjoy sharing my secrets with people while I'm talking about the great cheese I sell at work... 
So today I got home from work, armed with some delicious cheese and decided to put together a little something special for the Holidays. Today as I got inspired I had to create a Christmas Charcuterie Tree - like the one from Junk Food - or perhaps that should be a Charcutree?! With fresh honey glazed ham, sausage, olives, tomatoes and of course LOTS of different cheese... It's the perfect food for a party...

Early Halloween Lunchings

Weekends are normally busy affairs, and I tend to find myself working either Saturday or Sunday. This weekend though because I have been off sick and because there is a local marathon taking place I cant leave my house, so I'm happy at home and planning on making a happy weekend of it for myself...
I'm going to take a few pictures, read some more of the extremely dark smut that I just started and make sure I get something delicious to eat... 

I decided to take the time to test out some interestingly seasonal food recipes... Since we are nearing the Halloween season, and there are so many delicious ideas starting something simple... Spooky Grilled Cheese and a mug of Tomato soup - from Junk Food - is an easy yet delicious way to start off... I might even have a side dish of some pickled eyeballs. I've been pickling them in a refurbished gumball machine, turning it into a Spooky Eyeball Machine - a creation from MadPea at the current round of Equal10 until October 5th - for ease of serving... I've also been told that to make the witches brews of Halloween taste better, it's a good idea to make sure I'm used to the poisons and other ingredients before the big day comes... I've heard adding them to tomato soup can hide the taste...

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!!

Giant Sandwiches & Scooby Doo Fantasies!

Every night when it comes to food I have to force myself to plan and cook something for dinner. When the hubby is out working, it's even more difficult to plan something for dinner since I can't find the mojo to plan then cook and eventually clean up all by my self... I don't mind the eating part in the middle, but it's the other stuff that makes it all seem more trying than anything else... 
Some days all I want is a sandwich... 

Sandwiches are both easy to make and delicious, PLUS there is a world of endless possibilities when it comes to sandwich fillings... When I was a teen I LOVED Corned Beef and Pickled Onion, when I was a student I LOVED Fish Finger Sanwiches with lots of HP sauce, and now that I work in a cheese shop I have a bit of an addiction to a Smoked Jalapeno Gouda Cheese with Chorizo and Salad... Honestly I could eat sandwiches for every meal, and lots of sandwiches per sitting...
I used to get jealous of Scooby Doo in the way that he could eat sandwiches, and now thanks to the Junk Food Giant Sandwich I can try to live my Scooby fantasies... I was making some delicious sandwiches, delicious Bologna Sandwiches - also from Junk Food - full of lovely fresh ingredients but once I had a plateful I got a little inspired... Scooby Doo Fantasy, here I come!!

Tonight just happens to be the end of the 31 days of Halloween costume challenge I set for myself, and I'm ashamed to admit that I failed, I've only managed to get through 27 looks - today included - and therefore missed 4 days...

Tomorrow is also an important day, as Tuesday November 1st, is the day that this years Dark Adventure will be coming to a close. The monsters will be allowed to rest and drift back into their peaceful slumbers...

Making Unboxing Videos!

Yesterday I suffered through a TERRIBLE migraine, and when I wasn't laying in the dark, trying to avoid any form of light or noise, I found moments where things eased and I ended up watching random videos, by some of my favourite ladies, on my phone... There are so many that I'm now addicted to, Celina Spookyboo and her sleepwalking antics, Charlotte Dobre and her diss videos, Emmymade and her cookery videos are all winners! Yet the one that's been getting my attention most over the past few days is GraveyardGirl and her awesome unboxing videos...

Who'd have thought that in 2022 we'd be finding pleasure in watching people open packages?! People always said that there would be flying cars in 2020, LOL HOW WRONG WERE THEY? Since 2020, we've been teaching people how to wash their hands and making videos of people on social media unpacking boxes of things they've bought a popular thing. 
Readying myself to take a leap into the unboxing video game, I made sure I had my camera set up and on my recycled, Old Bar - from Krescendo - tables were ready hold all of the amazing packages that I wanted to unpack - all of the boxes are supplied by Atelier Burgundy. I've set up my theme, and yes today's unboxing video will be rainbows and Pride! I'm going to start ripping open these boxes!

Pretty Clutter on the Shelf!

Keeping the house tidy... It's something that we're all expected to do unless we're able to have someone to do it for you. I will fully admit that I HATE cleaning, and the worst of the worst is dusting... I HATE dusting. The only problem wih that is that I have so many itty, bitty things, and that the city I live in is terrible for creating dust, so therefore if I don't do it often enough, it could easily become a scene in any horror film...

I love that about Second Life though, I can have all kinds of pretty things decorating each an every surface in my house without any need to clean them up. I have gadgets and gizmos a plenty, hoozits and whatsits galore, there are trinkets on every surface...
Beautiful lamps - like the one from Lucas Lameth - sit alongside potion bottles - from Short Leash, at My Bloody Valentine - books balance precariously alongside beautiful potted plants, and the most interesting of pictures are balanced on the shelves... This pictures in particular is a special one, it's a Bell'angelo, a Living Masterpiece - from Short Leash at Abnormality - filled with the prettiest of rose demons... Roses are beautiful but the thorns are definitely the playthings of the rose demon...

Being a little Punk

 LAZY WEEKEND!!! The weather here is yucky, so I'm doing the smart thing and staying indoors, but I'm also finding myself wondering how it can feel more like February than May weather right now... I'm also more than a little sleepy and I cannot work out why... It's a lot of wondering what is going on LOL... Rudh decided that while I was mulling all of that over she'd pop out and have a peaceful smoke break in the hallway... Anything to get away from my mind! 

She's looking like a little bit of a punk today... I LOVE this look though I have to admit, it's one that I've been enjoying playing around in since I put it on... 
It started all because of a pair of different but totally awesome looking jeans from Psycho Barbie and once I'd fallen in love with them, I spent the next hour trying to dig through my hoard to find the perfect look and somehow they just happened to be Punk! Union Jacks and lots of accessories, I felt awesome! I love these pants LOL...

The Hike lead me to a Crystal Lake...

 Yesterday I had my first injection and I was away with the fairies and lost in the clouds, so today I took some time to just relax... I decided to take the tie out to have a bit of a walk in the woods, after all fresh air will do me some good...
The park was a beautiful place, the sun was hitting the nature just right so that the colours were sparkling... I came to a lake and it was beautiful, but the old fences on the opposite shore caught my eye and as I got closer a strange feeling took over me... A presence took over my own mind, I had work to do... 

As I noticed the fading, peeling sign - from floorplan - on the fence I stumbled over something... A rope, then a machete, finally an old hockey mask with the weirdest red markings... 
I don't know what it was, but there was something dark and foreboding about the place and the mask she carried in her hand.

Here Boy... Nice little Robo Woofer! Come to Rudhie!!

I feel like I've been trapped for so long, doing something that was causing me to downward spiral far too regularly as of late... Now that things have begun to calm down and there has been a massive shift in the way I'm thinking, I can see more clearly and the prison-like feeling has gone!! 
Well that was until Rudh said something evil and ended up being locked in the Joplino Prison in Backdrop City... 

Sitting on the floor of the cells in the Neon Cyber city, Rudh noticed that the Robo Woofers - from Hilted - had a hold of the key that might open the door to her cell... Since YES, even though it was a modern cyber neon city with robot dogs and neon in every colour possible, they still relied on the old fashioned lock and key system... 
Slipping her legs through the bars, an easy feat considering they were wrapped in some gorgeous Estries Boots - from Psycho.Byts - that slipped through the bars like a knife through butter, she decided to try and lure the puppy over. He seemed to be attracted to flashing lights, so maybe the light on her duckie house arrest band would help?!

The Concoction of Potion

It's Sunday, and that means one thing... The week is about to start and I am REALLY not ready for it. I don't really want to have to be a grown up anymore, I'd like to go back to the carefree days, when I could just hide out in my bedroom as a teenager... 
Rudh has decided to do just that... Find a dark cosy corner where she can sit with a coffee, and maybe something yum, and cast one or two little spells!

As she sat in the cosy comfortable loft space she was surrounded by a collection of her pretty Witchy Witchcraft things - a set that I was super lucky to win from LEMME at the new round of Equal10. The Tarot Cards, a Crystal Ball and some trinkets to help me prep these adorable little bottles of potion for those in need. Armed with a Donut and a Cinnamon Dulce Coldbrew Coffee - from Reign - and a smoke to get her started, she sits still, calm... That is until the little Moonlight Foxes discovered her hiding place and all hell broke loose! Still, if I can get them calm down a little, I have the "Forgotten Skull" - a Happy Weekend release from FIKA by the way - that I need to for a 'forget your ex' potion... All I need is time to make it up...

Summoning is just like making a Phone Call...

It's getting closer, so close the magic is deep and dark and scary... Halloween is coming and I cannot wait! Just a few more sleeps until Halloween! Now that the veil is lifting and we're closer to the otherside, Rudh is putting in a few calls to home, and chatting with her demonic friends and summoning them all to come for a visit over the holidays! 

Summoning takes a lot of effort though, I mean you have to set the scene, and depending on who you are contacting it will vary as to what you need... Her Witch Planning Book - from Tentacio - keeps notes of what is needed to contact everyone, and in this case she's using Scattered Crystals - from Lovely Alien - and a HUGE Blood Bucket - from Pink Unicorn - though I'm not sure if the person she's contacting is at home! 
Wait a minute though, the little demonic Rudh may be scaring her callers away... I mean look she's dressed like some kind of nun?! A Marianna Hairstyle - from Doe - and a cute uniform from the Witchcraft Academy - from Dead Dollz - the funny part is, it looks like it's not sitting well with her skin. She's got an outbreak of FIKA Trypophobia Freckles appeared on her cheeks, her face is slowly peeling apart! It's not that clear here, but take a look at the close up!!! Her face is rotting away!!

Spin the Bottle

I have a LOT of people that I feel lucky enough to call friends in my SL, but those that I am closest to I can count on my fingers. Recently, as in just before Christmas, I may have mentioned something about it back then, that the number of people shrunk dramatically. Some of it was friendly, people moving on to new things, while others were causes of great pain. So much drama for one little group as members of the Gators MC left all over the place... 
Yet from the ashes of what was left over a core group remains - Lilian, Max, Solde, HellBone, Chopper and myself - and although there are still others too, these little Gators are the ones that I keep fighting to keep the MC together for. 

Some nights with the MC can be hectic as all heck, we're a bunch of crazy silly idiots sometimes... Though I know I can count on these people. We've been through bad times, but we've come out of it together and we're stronger for it! 
We spend a lot of our SL days together, hanging out and doing random things. Sometimes we have a ride-out to behave on, but other times when we're at home we're being random... 
Yesterday was games night, we somehow ended up ordering Chinese take-out from Lost Junction and playing an impromptu game of Spin the Bottle - thanks to a new pose from Image Essentials at Truth or Dare Affair! Oh lord, did the boys cheer when I had to make out with Solde LOL...
