Pool Time Fun!

It's getting hot again!! The temperature is rising just as I've got to start cleaning my house to make sure everything is ready to go home... WHY DO THE GODS HATE ME?!
All I want to to do is find a way to cool down, I want to shower every five minutes and swim somewhere cool and preferably shady... I wish I had a pool!!!

I'm not sure if Rudh is chilling in her rubber ring, or if she's making a terrible cannonball bomb into the pool and is about to get herself stuck in a rubber ring she's landing on... 
You can see that her fishy buddies are experiencing her arrival with different reactions... The Bubble Buddies, such cute little fishies - from Krescendo - are watching on with a little concern, but it's the Chompy Sharks - from Snuggle&Co, still available until July 13th at Summerfest - that seem to be enjoying it... Their pearly whites are definitely on show like they are smiling anyway...

Summer Beach Work

I work in retail in RL, I'm sure you may have seen me say that once or twice... I'm currently watching a British TV series called "Death in Paradise" and I think that at the moment these things are coming together in my mind so that I ended up on a paradise beach selling fruits... It sounds like a perfect place to be right now... 

Death in Paradise is set in the Caribbean, filmed in Guadaloupe although the island in the stories is imaginary... 
Now if I was relaxed enough to be chilling on the beach, playing or perhaps just making noise on my Ukulele - a release from Junk Food, available until July 17th at Anthology - I don't think I'd be looking as comfortable as I am... Sitting around at my Seabreeze Fruit Shack - a release from Dust Bunny for this year's Summerfest event - I think I'm likely to be more than a little sunburnt!!!

Balance or Get Wet!

I dont really know what I'm doing today. Things have been slow, boring and I've had way too much time on my hands though for some reason I've not been able to focus and so my mind felt like I was walking on a balance beam... What the heck am I doing with myself? Why can't I enjoy a relaxing day off? 
I NEED to find something to distract myself...

I want colours, I want Summery - although I am definitely not an advocate for Summer - and I really don't know what more I want. I was putting things on, playing with colours, going through the things I'd gotten my hands on and suddenly I found the balancing I was doing on the beam shift to balancing on the cutest Skully Float - from Krescendo at Summerfest now...
I'm not good at balancing, the floatie kept moving under me... I am bound to slip off the floatie soon, and into the cool water of the pool...

Deserted Beach Party

Had a day off today, and for some reason I decided to get myself into something random... I was out and about where it got far too hot, I NEEDED to find a way to cool down and there was nothing that I could do to make it any cooler.. I guess that's what I get for taking a day out to explore the desert in the summer... Luckily I'm like Mary Poppins when it comes to packing my bags, they contain everything... 

My Mary Poppins style bag manages to contain everything, so that when I'm stuck in places like the middle of the Desert - which in this case happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - I can reach into my bag and pull out everything I need for me and my pretty puppies to turn the sands of the desert into a beachy playground... 
A cute little radio - which happens to be the Cheeuh Radio's Summer Edition from Aardvark - starts the party as my pool is magically filled with water, and the Pocket Surf Set - a Summerfest creation from the mind behind everfaery - kicks into gear and the wave machine starts so I can even get my surf on... Luckily for me I had put my Furiosa Bikini - a set from Normandy - on under my clothes today... Was very much necessary...

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 -

Do Not Disturb!

It finally happened, I dodged it for most of the Pandemic and even though I went out to work every day as normal, rode the public transport as normal and even found myself in the odd crowded place, I didn't catch the dreaded Covid until NOW! Today I tested positive and that means I am now stuck under quarantine for the next 5 freaking days... I've only just started to go back to normal life, and now I'm stuck at home AGAIN!!! 
Looks like I'm going to be taking a little break, a little rest, and since I'm going to be stuck at home in RL, I'll be living through Rudh, who will be taking a holiday on a beach somewhere warm and sunny... 

I found an island oasis - a backdrop from FOXCITY - that is just perfect, white sand beach with a few palm trees and the odd starfish. It's going to be a perfect place to rest... I've brought myself a good book, I'll build a sandcastle, and use the leaves of the palm trees for shade and as a blanket to lay out and enjoy the peace on... Posing like a model in a fancy fashion magazine - thanks to an adorable pose set from Secret Poses, which you can grab at the Summerfest. As a final touch though, I'll have to make sure that I have a hat close by, need something to protect myself from the sun's rays, and it will be esecially handy when I decide to take a nap - thanks to the amazing CHEERNO Tropical Hat!

Ice Cream Treats for Dessert!

After dinner, I don't always feel a need to have dessert but when I do I often reach for a delicious, sweet and icy cold... As they often say, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream"... Let's all scream for Ice Cream... 
Let's all head to the Ice Cream shop, where we can all have some delicious frozen treats... 

There is adorable little ice cream shop in town, it's bright and rainbowlicious, and decked out to look more than a little retro. Even the bar is created to be an adorable little van of Ice Cream Dreams - from MadPea - and there are so many delicious flavours and toppings and cups or cones... SO MUCH CHOICE! You could even do like my little pug friend, he's such a Sneaky Snacker - he's also available from Jian - and he stuffed his head into an industrial sized tub, he's my hero!
This place though, is even cooler than just the retro bar... The servers are dressed in the coolest, and yes the pun was intended, costumes ever! My server today was wearing a pretty Banana Ice Cream Delight - created by Ananas for the Summerfest Event - apparently her partners were decked out in the blueberry and cherry versions, I'll have to go find them somewhere!

Sweet Summery Sunday Crepes!

It's Sunday and a day of rest. I still have things that need to be done around the house, but I am taking things slow and easy and very restfully. I have a TERRIBLE cold that I am fighting like a crazy person and holding back from murdering my husband for sharing it with me. 
I'm going to be taking it easy when it comes to making food too, pancakes - although I might be calling it Crepes, just so it sounds more interesting... 

I whipped up a batch of pancake mix and made the delicious crepes on the griddle - from Second Spaces. I forgot how much fun it was to make pancakes. 
Then it came to toppings... There are so many different things that you can put on crepes, but today I decided to go with some Sweet Summery Crepes - from Cat-Noodle at Summerfest - with lots and lots of Ice cream - from vespertine - and even more oodles of cherries - from kotte. 
DELICIOUS!!!!

Watermelons for Summer!

I've talked about this before, but it was such a long time ago... 
In the past, in what feels like another life almost, I had a cute little nickname when I was part of a gang that hung out at Sanctuary Rock. I would be greeted with people calling me "Rudemellons" after a crazy game of what could my name be changed to be that was easier to say than Rudhmellowen. 
Since then I've been somewhat crazy for watermelon in SL... It's such a pretty colour, the designs are amazing and well, it tastes delicious!!! A perfect fruit on a hot summer day... 

Would be such a perfect time right now to find a beautiful place, like a Riviera Balcony - a backdrop from FOXCITY - on a Boardwalk beach - like the backdrop from Synnergy - somewhere warm and sunny. I'm not good in the heat, but sometimes being somewhere I can drop into a pool or the sea will be a much better option. Being able to drop into the sea would be lovely, especially if I can do it while wearing an adorable Decoy Natalia Swimsuit - that you can pick up in a varitey of different colours at Summerfest. 
Then to dry off I'll pose in the sun, while I dig into some delicious watermelon as a massive shout out and a "Hello Summer"!

Nights on a Neon Beach

What a hectic day today, honestly I've not seen my day job so busy as it was today in such a long time, that my entire body has a feeling of ouchies... I'm sore all over lol... 
I think that I need a day to just switch off - in truth I need a trip home to my parents - and relax, let my hair down and do something fun... I think I'd like to go back to the beach, but this time I'm going to head to a beach that's a little more day-glo than fun in the sun... 

I'm gonna head to a neon beach, dance on the dark shores and eat icy things... Lollies and Summer Snowcones.... Delicious and cold, perfect for a day on my neon beach, and luckily my adorable "Anchor's Away" bikini and skirt set - from 1313 Mockingbird Lane - was the perfect look to play on the neon beach in...

Sparkles of the Sun

 Yesterday I played on the beach in the sun, today I decided to let the sun goddess that was hiding inside truly come out to play, and she's not the sunbathing kind of sun goddess either... Today the sun is literally my persona... Don't get me all hot and bothered now, you don't want to see how fire can burn, instead let her sparkle and warm you gently... 

I love the way that she sparkles in the darkness... Her twinkling most likely caused by the stars and planets caught up in her solar aura - yes as you can tell I LOVE combining aura sparkles, and the ones from LuluB and Cole's Corner go together SO WELL - radiating warmth and happiness like a gentle summer hug! Her outfit though offers a subtle reminder not to make her mad... It's WHITE HOT!!! Such a gorgeous dress for a sun goddess is the Mei Set from Psycho Barbie... 
The Sun is never alone however, and on her journey through the darkness of space she takes the moon and stars with her... Small in comparison to her epic scale, she wears them as the most delicate, yet regal, of gems... On a Celestial Headpiece - available for Evolve - and on a Devotion Choker, from Six Feet Under. I've added a close-up to show off these pieces a little more, but they are so lovely... You won't want to miss them...

Finding Beachy Treasures

On a day off, that's warm like this it's LOVELY to spend a day at the beach... In RL I'm NOT a fan of swimming in the sea though, I hate not knowing what's swimming in the water around me LOL, but in SL it's a different story... Our little beach is my slice of happiness right now, and to make me feel at home, we've gone with a bit of a stony beach, just like the beach close to my home in the UK... 
My doggy and I hit the cool water, looking for pretty pebbles and sea glass... 

I found some treasure that was even better... A Starfish... My Doggy -  a Splashy Spaniel from Jian - was far too excited as he splashed over desperate to see and soaking me in the process!! 
He's lucky that it wasn't too cold LOL...

Hunting and Toasting Marshmallows

If you go down to the woods today, you'd better make sure it's the Witchwood... There's lots of awesome things to see and tickets for a festival... In each of the tickets you'll find, goodies stashed from outta the mind, of the awesome designer behind Petite Mort and Oubliette! 

(BTW, I sang that to myself while I was writing it to the song about a Teddybears Picnic LOL, I'm so lame!) 

So as I so badly sang to myself like a weirdo, there is a few reasons to head on down to the joint home of Petite Mort and Oubliette - better known as Witchwood - two awesome big ones actually... There's a 50% off sale through both stores, AND an awesome Summer Festival Hunt, both these things are running until July 5th, and there are some amazing goodies in store... 

My hunt favourites included his Parka & Crop Top set, the little blue Denim Shorts and the Brown Leather Boots... 

The sim is so pretty too, I decided that I'd spend a while... Sat by the fire roasting marshmallows, and singing the Teddybears Picnic song which got stuck in my head LOL...

Bombs in the Pool

I think that finally my summer cold is shifting, I'm feeling much better and I think that it's finally time for me to think about having some fun again... In RL things have REALLY cooled down - which may be a reason that I picked up the cold in the first place - but in SL it's Summer all the time, and you don't need to worry about getting sunburn, or being too hot LOL! 
Since it's Summer and it's FRIDAY, I'm going to let my hair down and have some fun... Starting with a dip - or should that be a dive bomb - into the pool!!!

Just a few seconds after this photo was taken, the water splashed over the side of the pool soaking everything and creating a need for me to dive down into the water to collect things like my sunglasses! Wasn't a smart move on my part, but hey it was fun! 
I just had the pool installed in my backyard for the summer - it's a release from the Trompe Loeil Collection called "Eloa Rainforest Pool", which looks great in my mountain top garden even though there's not a rainforest in sight! 
Now the problem is I have to leave everything out to dry - oops - my brand new BUENO leather Saba Heels may never be the same again! I really hope that my Fetch "Audri" glasses can with stand the chlorine and won't start rusting! 
Just as an aside here I want to mention the pose! It's a pose from Secret Poses that comes as part of a couple pose with a prop. The Jetski Poses & Prop is a gift at the mainstore because Secret Poses just got 1000 Likes on Facebook!!! You're probably wondering, where the heck is the jetski?! WELL I will admit that I've been a little bit naughty and taken this male pose from the prop, just for this photo, BUT to show what you can really get as a special gift I'm gonna be good and add the ad poster here too!!! Hope it doesn't get me in too much trouble with Daniela and Trish!

The last of the Spring Magic...

It's the weekend, well it's Friday at least, and although I don't have to work my SL job this weekend I'd agreed that I would cover a few hours working in the cheese shop tomorrow. I'm far too nice sometimes, I swear?! When will I learn to say no?! 
Still because it's Friday and I feel happy, it's a fairytale time! No I won't be launching into a made up fairytale today but I will be sharing with you the newest in my fairy family... This one is a flower fairy with a naughty little look that makes me smile! 

Don't faint, she's wearing pink, but she's a spring fae... Completing the last of her work before the Summer fae come in and take over at the Lost Unicorn! I also really loved the colours in this picture, so maybe pink is something I'm learning to love... Least it's not purple! 
I want to tell you all about this adorable outfit, it's going to be a look of the day again, kinda, but where to start! 
Let's start with the bodysuit, and work up from there hehe... The bodysuit is one I grabbed in a Saturday Sale gone by I think?! It's a Galaxias Cinched Bodysuit from CURELESS, and YES I chose to wear it in a neon pink colour even though it comes with a huge collection of different options. Moving up a little, I have some of the most gorgeous fairy wings that I've found in a long time in SL, these gorgeous Shimmer Fairy Wings from Lovely Alien, they give me that real pretty Fae touch. The addition of a cute pair of Daisy Glasses from Fetch, and a gorgeous Apis Pendant - from FIKA - complete with honey and a bee finished off the look so I could work my magic in the forest before the Summer Fairies took over. 
Now the necklace is adorable, but its kinda small in the main picture, so I'm being good and adding a close up just to show off those little details more clearly!

Mermaid's Swim in Safe Waters

So I promised two posts in a day, and well I've been on such a mermaid kick lately that I couldn't help myself taking the underwater route again today... What can I say, I love being a mermaid... Let's blame it on Ariel as she started it all, but why blame when we know that it's awesome to be a mermaid!! 

Some how though, when I end up as a mermaid I seem to go pink?! It's not my fault it just seems to be a natural thing but why pink?! 
All of my mermaid looks tend to be very similar though, except maybe this one is showing her adorable DreamyMermaid Ears - from Lovely Alien - but again maybe that's only to hold on her fabulous Audri - by Fetch - Sunglasses as she swims through Safe Waters?!
Now once again I know that certain things aren't clear... BUT I'm learning and have made a close-up to show them off too LOL! While you're looking at it, don't miss the piercing from Zombie Suicide, this adorable little Loopy Septum is SO PRETTY, with lots of colourful gemstones for your every colour whim!

Glamour on the Beach

It's HOT! I'm sure you've heard it before but I'm not really a lover of hot weather. Though if there is one place that's nice to be when it's hot it's the beach... I LOVE beaches in stormy cold weather, but I wouldn't mind being alone on a beach in this heat too... Course I'd need an umbrella, since I burn like crazy, but if only... 

I found the most perfect abandoned beach location at Trace Too - and went for a walk and a little dip in the sea... Under my umbrella - which is actually a prop from the Marilyn Poses by Image Essentials - I'm drying off after a dip in the sea. I seem to have picked up some new little MishMish Starry friends hehe...
I am so happy with my cute beach outfit, made up of a bikini from imbue, an adorably girly "Summer Breeze Moon" hat and some of the most gorgeous sandals I've gotten my grubby lil hands on in a LONG TIME... 
These sandals are the 1313 MockingBird Lane Leandra Gacha item from LootBox Gacha, and OK they aren't the commons so you won't see them on the ad pictures, but these are the super special Rare Lootbox items!!!

Washing it all Away

Hair Fair is now over... This year was a really great one and soon they will be able to tell everyone just how much money was raised on behalf of Wigs for Kids, but it's time to get ready for something new. A new week, a new day and the best way to start a Monday morning is to jump in the shower and sing your little heart out...
I know that the picture seems a little sad, I've been going through a lot lately and I'm sure that I will be able to find the strength to at least give a little insight soon, yet for now I'm going to wash all my troubles away - or as I'm singing "Wash it all away" it provides more meaning at the moment I guess - and start my week with a smile! 

This hair is one of my last Hair Fair releases that I want to share with you, now that the event is officially over I'm sure it will be brought to the store but I couldn't resist this adorable style from Argrace. I love the hair that Argrace makes for editorial use, you wouldn't necessarily want to wear this out on the street but in pictures like this it's PERFECT! Plus it was a 100% Donation item to the charity so I really couldn't resist... 
Now that the fair is over though I'm going to wash out my hair and let it dry before styling into some other random crazy do! I just wish I'd washed my make up off first, Mascara hurts when it gets into your eyes - Running Mascara by ARISE and Smeared Lipstick by Izzie's by the way - luckily the warm water is washing the sting away leaving glistening droplets on my skin - also courtesy of Izzie's.
For now though it's time that I dry myself off and make myself pretty, the world is calling and I need to go buy catfood LOL... 

What is she wearing;
Hair & Pose: Argrace - SHIMIZU in Reds

Banana Beach Bar

Its hot and overcast here in Holland. The sun seems to be trying to force it's way through the clouds, but there is a possibility that the clouds will say "No Not Today!" Sounds boring but I'm hoping it does come out, because well I have laundry to do LOL... I lead such a glamorous lifestyle, I swear. 
Luckily Rudh is up and out and already causing chaos... She found herself at a beach party and even though it's only 10AM here in Holland, she's already hitting the Pina Colada served in a Pineapple!!! 

Oh to live the life of of the SL glamorous huh?! Not sure I could take it all the time but ya know it might be fun just once LOL... 
Today she's been having a leisurely morning swim at the Banana Bay, before hitting the beach bar. Dressed in a somewhat cheeky bikini - a brand new Boho Suit Set from Nightmare which you can get your hands on in an array of colours at anyBody until July 15th - she pulled on a pair of sunglasses. Due to her just coming out of the sea they're now a little bit wet but it will dry soon enough - just an f.y.i, the sunglasses are a new release from Izzie's at Summerfest!! 
All she needed now was a drink, something fruity and summery and fun... Thanks to the bartender she got what she was looking for, a gorgeous drink served in true beachy style... A Pineapple Party Palm Drink - thank you Schadenfreude for making these! 
Now let's get this beach party started!!! WOOT WOOT!

Hair: Truth - Scout in Redhead

Summer Fun in the Sun!

Summer is here and it's getting a little too hot for me. I'm not ashamed to admit that behind the avatar is a big girl - I'm nothing like Rudh in RL aside from my personality being one and the same - but when it starts heating up, I find myself starting to wither and longing for the colder weather again. Crazy right? 
Still in SL I have no problems, and can run around like a headless chicken enjoying the summer 'heat'. I feel lucky in saying that it's awesome to be able to click a button and find yourself on some awesome fun beaches. 
Although poor Rudh forgot her sunscreen last time she went to the beach!! Ouch!!

This time she's at the beach she's been a smart girl, she picked up some new Sunblock that she's wearing like a necklace - available from Katat0nik at Summerfest until July 20th - so that she will never be without any! So now, that she's heading to a beach party - this time at the Frisky Beaver Beach Club - she's protected... The sunburn - an applier from Izzie's by the way - still looks a little ouchies though!! Still in her super cute bikini bottoms - that are part of a set called Jasmina from Rebel Hope - and adorable sunglasses - from Suicidal Unborn, she seems more than happy to ignore the sunburn sting and offer you some pineapple - thanks to a pose called Fruity from FOXCITY which is available at SaNaRae until July 18th! OH AND before I forget, isn't her hair SO CUTE!!! It's a style from Wasabi Pills that is currently available from Hair Fair 2017 until July 16th. The hair comes with or without the little braids, so when you buy it you get not just one but two slightly different wigs, AND you help to raise money for Hair Fair's chosen charity - Wigs for Kids. 
Right now it's time for some Summer Fun... Although actually while we're on the subject of raising money, and discussing summer fun, I am going to take a moment to say, if you LOVE photography and want the chance to win yourself some lindens, why not enter a summer fun picture into the Gators MC Photo Contest where you could win yourself lots of Lindens - currently around 2,000L$ - which to go back even further into my post would be a great amount to buy LOTS of new Hair and raise money for the charity?! If you want to enter, why not pop over to Gator Sim and take a look, or alternatively ask one of the Gators. You know how to find me in world by now hehe...
