Today is Cleaning Day!

It's been a day of cleaning and sorting for me today... Still so much to do before we have to move out of our house for 6 months. I'm stressing, and I'm wondering HOW we wil ever get things done... It's not just the packing and sorting, it's also the bloody basic chores that we have to do on a normal daily basis... It's just getting to be too much... I had to find a way to get through the drudgery...

For me there is only one way to get through the cleaning mundanity at the moment and that is some very loud cheesy music... I've been dancing around today listening to the old boyband classics... Take That, Boyzone, Five and many other of the original Brit boybands of the 90s and 00s... Take That will always be my true love, and if you've no idea who I'm talking about you're welcome to ask me any time. I'm going to see them again this summer with my mum, sister and cousin and I'm SUPER excited!!! I cannot wait... 
Still time to get on with the cleaning... I do that and have time to dance with my Dancing Kittiens - from MishMish at Kustom9 until February 10th - they seem to be enjoying the music as much as I am...

The Last Day of November

Well Hi!!! It feels like forever since I had a chance to sit down and talk to you here... I've been such a busy girl in RL that eveerything seemsneglected and then I add to that the way my brain is fully and hurting, and I'm just tired... SO TIRED... Yet here we are, at the end of Novemeber and it doesnt seem hard to think it but how in the holy hell did we get here?! Pft, I guess it's time to try and get into the spirit of the Christmas Season... 

As Brit comedian, Michael McIntyre once commented, once December comes everyone starts discussing the "emotion of Christmassy", the feeling that we get for this festive holiday and I'm looking forward to the moment I get to make my announcement that "today I felt Christmassy for the first time" but right now I'm more interested in being a hibernating bear than celebrating Christmas LOL... 
Still I am going to make an effort, I HAVE to for my own mental wellbeing, and maybe a little Christmas sparkle will make life just that little happier... I've been busy in RL sorting things for the big renovation next year but that meant I was able to get my Christmas decorations out of storage... Is it just me or do we put the same little trickets and decorations out every year?! I cannot bear to spend a Christmas without them, each one is like a little trip down memory lane... A reminder of happy times and the sparkles of days gone by...

Make New Friends

It's already nearing the end of November and that means before very long Christmas will start and things will go bonkers... I have so much to do, I want to get myself some new Christmas decorations and may even go out into nature and collect some wild winter foliage for decor... I'll head out into the wild and make a day of it... 

I'd made myself a little camp on the edge of the woods, just over the bridge in the Snowfall Crossing - a backdrop by Synnergy.Tavis - and after spending a few hours collecting foliage to use as decor, I curled up in a pile of blankets on rugs laid in the snow to hide away for a tea break... 
While I was making the tea, I must have passed out a little, when I woke up I had some new friends that had decided my camp looked like a nice warm plae for a nap... Fox Friends came for pets, and Lil Bear Cubs were making themselves at home - both of these sets of animals are from Aardvark, the bears are currently available at TMD and the foxes are at the current round of ACCESS - whilst the cute little bunnies took over my scarf...

Memories on the Screen

Our brain is such a powerful tool, it makes the world's super computers look like amateurs, and even the most useless of people are brilliantly clever if they really put their mind to it! They run our bodies and keep us alive, they keep skills held tight so they can be used any time they are needed, and they hold on to so many of our wonderful memories as well as those things that we wish to forget, our secrets, our hopes and our fears... We can call on them when we need them, some come to the front of our minds unbidden, and others are locked up tight... 
If we had a machine that could tap into our memories, I wonder what we'd discover... 

I think if we had a machine that could share our thoughts it could be either really great - a way to help us clear our minds of the bad things - or really terribly - if things are used against us... Imagine if someone got hold of our innermost secrets?!!! 
I'd hope that if someone has seen memories in my head, they will only find the happy things. Memories of my childhood days, reminders of my favourite toys. There are so many that spring to mind at times, things I'd forgotten, things that may no longer exist... 
Whilst I don't have a machine, I will admit that I DO have a lot of toys, lots of them to remind me of my youthful days. Once the machine has found the image, it could be printed out and everyone can take a closer look at all my lovely toys... Things like my AMAZING Rocking Horsey - from Ananas at the Fifty Linden Friday Birthday Bash - or my beautiful dolls, but you have to be careful, there is one that is a little more lively than the others... Watch out for the Pistachio Puppet - from tardfish at Enchantment - he's not as cute as he looks, he's very stabby... 
Now as the image on the screen of the picture in my mind is small, luckily the print outs are a little bigger and give you a proper close-up...

The Bungenie in the Lamp

For some reason I found myself being a little more random than usual this morning when I sat down and took a look into my cavernous inventory to decide what I needed and wanted to blog today... There are so many options, I needed to focus and find something that got my mental cogs working... 
It needed to be somehing different, it needed to be something mystical, but then I let my mind drift and it ended up in a meditative state and somehow there were bunnies involved... 

Inside my Dreamy Genie Bottle - a super old skybox from Trompe Loeil, that I'm not even sure they sell anymore, but you may be lucky - I sat on a very comfy cushion that will allow me to Meditate Anywhere - a cushion you can float around on from Ananas at ACCESS until June 8th, I'm not sure what happened, but before long I felt strange, the cushion was floating... Was it the magic of the meditation, or did I start floating because of the two HUGEEEEEE Bunny Fans - from Krescendo - that blew me up into the air??
It was like magic as I floated into the air, and while one of my littee bunny friends, who had sat in my cleavage as ir's easier to talk to me and tell me how much he loves carrots - and is from Tardfish - and then th magic spread, it sparkles and the Kaori Flowers - from Emotional Circus - swirled the room...

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas

 It's Christmas Eve... December 24th, and that means in a short while Santa will be at our door - we don't have a chimney so we'd have to leave him a key under the plant pot outside - I'm tracking him on the Norad Santa Tracker like I do every year... For now though, I'm showered, full of delicious dinner and curled up on a blanket with a cup of tea in my hand... 
Now it's time to phone though to the family, since I'm going to be without them... I hope I can keep it together and not shed a tear or two... 

Although we have a lot of gifts around the tree, most of those are from me for HellBone, but I'm hoping that Santa will bring something special for me... 
I know I've been pretty naughty on and off this year, but I hope tha leaving some delicious milk and cookies for Santa, and some fresh carrots for the hard-working reindeer - thanks to a set from Junk Food, maybe they will help me get into his good books... 
Anyway, for now, I will be curling up to wait for the big man in red, and I want to send a message to everyone no matter who you are, or how you are celebrating, I hope that you have the perfect Christmas this year...

The Old Christmas Decorations!

Since it's so early in December, things are slowly starting to get a little festive, and I'm slowly getting myself into decorating... Today I pulled things out of storage and blew th dust off the boxes containing my decorations. Every year I always buy new things and still end up using the pretty old things I've had over the years... There are a lot of boxes, and phew getting them all out of storage is hard work... 

Grabbing myself a delicious, Sloppy Tomago Sando - from Cat-Noodle - that I'd had waiting in the fridge, I sat down with my kittens to get my grub on... I was about to take a bite of the delicious egg sammich, I noticed that one of my kittens - a cat from Jian - had discovered a bag of catnip stashed in with the decorations in boxes and was going coo-coo for coco puffs... I almost had my eggs poached by my other little friend!

Marshmallows at the Camp Fire

Today was a day off for me, I was able to lay back and take things a little easy... I did a little shopping in SL, and found some time to sort some of my hugely messy inventory, then I parked my butt in front of a roaring campfire and decided that the garden was the perfect place to go 'glamping'... It's closer to my own toilet than camping anywhere else would be, and I do so prefer to use my own loo... 

Of course, because Rudh is a diva, she doesn't do regular camping... I've also been campling just the once in RL and I'd never do that again, I hated every moment of it lol... So when she decided to go camping it had to be done in a less camping and more glamping kinda way! A full-sized bed in a Backcountry Tent - from Trompe Loeil - and some comfy Campin Chairs - from Junk Food - close to the fire as she both watched in awe and dodged the fireflies that were freed from the Fairy Jars to make the light twinkle!
While we're on the subject of Junk Food though, have you tried their delicious Marshmallows? They are perfect for toasting around the campfire...

Time for a Wild Pool Party!

 Guess who is back?! That's right it's ME... I'm bak after the much needed break to visit my family in the UK... It;s recharged my batteries and I am ready to start working my little butt off again... 
Though as I'm back I think that it might be a little fun to welcome myself back to RL with a little party. I'll warn you now though, it could get  little wild...

Before any other guests could arrive, my little animal buddies had made themselves very comfortable! The tiger cubs - from JIAN - and the adorable pygmy hippos - from Foxwood - had a great time exploring the pool in our garden while I was setting things up for the arrival of my other guests... I think they seemed to like the awesome Safari Sprinklers - from Krescendo at Man Cave - maybe it reminded them of their natural wild habitats hehe... 
The place was ready... I had a tub of Summer Sodas, ready and chilling from Junk Food, and everything was set for a water fight of epic proportions. The Let's Play! Water Balloon Fight - from peaches -  and I've even pre-filled a couple of buckets of squirt guns - from Junk Food at The Warehouse Sale.

Standing in the Stones

In the middle of a working week, when I spend less time in SL than I would have before, I am finding myself re-watching the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies... I have loved the movies since they first came out, and have loved the books for even longer, but they make amazing places to drift off to - a fantasy realm away from the drudgery of RL at the moment. 
Now while I'm thinking about it, and have the Tolkein world in my mind, I remembered I'd gotten my hands on some of the pretties that came from Enchantment and well, even though it's Viking Saga themed this round, these things seemed to go hand in hand. I was swept away to a world of Viking Dwarven magic... 

By all means, this is a little different from the kind of pictures I've been playing with of late, but it's inspired by my RL movie watching and love of things that are both Viking and Tolkein. People may not know this but I'm actually an Archaeologist by degree and had a specialisation in Vikings as my historical period of choice. 
The Viking warrior woman made her journey to the sacred standing stones - part of the new collection released by LOVE at Enchantment - and set up her camp. Resting her axe and shield against the stones, he etched her initials onto one of the scattered stones and waited. The magic did not take long before it started, swirling around in the air.

A Necrotic Horror Show is on it's way...

Two things that I LOVE very much are coming, they are getting closer and closer, and although the thought of things coming is giving me MASSIVE amounts of anxiety right now - as we still have MASSES of stuff to do for the Gators MC Maze - but aside from that Halloween is on it's way, AND, NECROSIS IS COMING!!! 
So I decided to get a jump on it and share one or two little things as a teaser... Get you excited by the Necrosis and it's Necrotic Horror Show... 

So while I'm setting up something a little Halloween feeling on my home space, to give myself a little bit of Halloween that I can hide in away from the craziness of the Gator Maze, I discovered that Infernal Alchemy have made some amazing goodies for the upcoming round of Necrosis such as the Antoinette's Demise Boudoir Set featuring this AMAZING Guillotine Lounger! It's the perfect bed for a little monster like me! It went so well with some of my older - but favourite - Halloween Decor from FAPPLE!
While on the subject of Necrosis though, LOOK AT THIS AMAZING TATTOO from GERMINAL that's also coming soon to the Necrosis event... It's the Highgate Tattoo and I LOVE the details of each part... The tops of the legs have the cemetery and the neck looks like the roots of a tree, and there is BATS all over hehe... It's a gorgeous tattoo!!
My little pet Snake seems happy with the new decor I'm setting out, and I'm happy with my new outfit too!!! I LOVE this Selina Outfit from 1313 Mockingbird Lane that is still available until September 30th at Whore Couture...

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...

Cacti Pricks in the Heat!

It's getting hotter here... For the past few days it's been far warmer than I like, and because it's Holland it's like living in a sweat box... The humidity makes it so much worse than it would be if it was just hot! I wouldn't mind dry heat, but this stickiness is just yuck and the Summer has only just started!!! BLEH I hate Summer LOL... Although I'm not sure I'd be any good somewhere it's hot and dry either... 

Life in the desert with the Cacti is also something that's definitely not made for me! I HATE hot weather lol... I do like Cacti however, they have proven to be very adept adversaries in the battle to see who will survive in my RL home LOL... Other plants die but Cacti seem to withstand the Rudh, the cat and even the fact I forget they are there LOL... So when I saw this amazing gacha collection from [Since1975] called Cactus Land was released, and it included the best sofa I've seen in a while I HAD to have one hehe... It's perfect for the pricks in your life, they will feel right at home... 

It was the fault of this set, that I had to decorate and make things feel a little prickly in my new desert home! Something a few more cacti and these gorgeous Solstice Chairs - from Trompe Loeil - were just perfect to fix...

A New Home with a Native Spirit

HellBone and I have been considering moving in RL... It is something that is being discussed but not something that's anywhere near set in stone, and the feeling is already making me very nervous. Why can't it just be more simple like it is in SL to contemplate a move? Some people change their house every week, and I LOVE moving into a new SL house when I can... 

There's less stress involved I suppose, less packing and unpacking is involved and a heck of a lot less chaos... I mean if you want to move in SL it's easy right? 
I will admit though that I LOVE moving into a new house in SL. Finding the perfect new dream home, or even just a temporary place until you get everything unpacked and looking pretty and then move on. 
I've thrown some of my new Native Spirit furniture - from the gacha collection by Petite Mort at Imaginarium - into my new summer guest house - from Trompe Loeil - and am slowly settling in. Even the cat seems to like it here! 
I just wonder how long it will last before I get cabin fever and need to move again hehe...

Excavations in the Desert

I let my mind wander away to far away places today... Drifting back to thoughts of the course that I studied during my days at University, the days when I had aspirations of becoming a world renowned archaeologist. Running excavations in far flung places and finding the most amazing reminders of the past... My mind wandered, and I ended up in a beautiful desert location, with an excavation to find the fossils of an unknown dinosaur... 

I know that Archaeology is human, and Paleontology is Dinosaur - but I've been rewatching the old episodes of Friends so blame Ross - but I fell in love with the way that my excavation site started to come to life... Like something out of the old photographs of when Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon excavated for Tutankhamun!
The site was actually a combination of things to give it that amazingly - almost Moroccan - feeling... After the Trompe Loeil Teigen Glamping Tent was set up, I threw so many items from the Petite Mort Zingara Collection around to make it feel soft and cosy, whilst remaining cool and shaded! Lastly, and well because it wouldn't be a good excavation without a few tools, I added some of the Fossil Hunter collection from Consignment and it felt perfect... Ready! 
All it needed was a cute and light outfit and I was ready... Thank you Belle Epoque - for the Anne dress -  and Lassitude & Ennui - for these awesome boots!!!

Maybe I Should Clean Better?

So while working on a little magic to carve my pumpkin yesterday, I think I must have left the cauldron cooking just a little too long... There may have even been a little love potion magic in the bottom as it was cooking... 
I say this because I had a moment of "OOPS!" while cleaning the cabin today... So as I was sweeping the floors, talking to my little kitties, I felt a strange presence behind me... I think my cauldron is trying to tell me something... 

The unstable Cauldron - one of the many things available and on show from Trick or Treat Lane by the way - decided to show me a little love, I knew that there was a little love potion in the bottom of that cauldron! He wanted to give me a big kiss, and I guess I learnt that I need to clean things a little better. 
Just a little close up to go with the picture, to show off the adorable spider rings from Ama and a cute little Spooktacular Jar Light from SynCo...

Books on Sundays

Sundays are my favourite days for being lazy... Weekends are great that they come in days of 2, one for getting stuff done and having some fun, and a second for being a lazybutt before the perils of work the next day. I don't like doing anything on a Sunday, no chores, no crazy busy stuff, just relaxing... Breakfast on a tray, a good book, and well... that sounds like a perfect Lazy Sunday to me! 

The book I'm reading at the moment - one called The Finisher by David Baldacci - is captivating my attention, meaning it's taking me far too long to write anything that makes sense today. Though I need to find just a few minutes to show you my gorgeous new furniture collection. The set is soon to be released, you have to wait until August 1st I'm afraid, so I'm just giving you a little taster of what's to come. It's a new release from Petite Mort for the upcoming round of The Gacha Garden called Modern Bungalow. It feels like the perfect set for a modern yet cosy country style home. Everything in the photo is included in the gacha collection besides the tray and the book, which are dust bunny releases, and the house, which is from Trompe Loeil, but they add just a little extra to my feeling of a lazy Sunday!
Now if you'll excuse me, my book is calling my name...

Hair: #Foxy - Vixen Hair in Reds

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!

My Mom's a Queen, I must be a Princess!

My SL Mom - Louisa Zorric - is always sharing pictures on her facebook page that boost confidence and tell us girls - guys too - to live like Queens - although Kings can be used as a more appropriate term for some of the guys out there hehe! She talks of empowerment, and confidence, and supporting others rather than tearing them down, and since I have known her she's been all of those things to me! My SL Mommas are both Queens, and I guess that would make me a Princess?! I never feel strong or confident enough to be a Queen, but with royal mommas that can only mean one thing! I've finally reached my goal of becoming a Disney Princess - only with a little less Disney and a lot more Fiesty, Sarcastic, Brattishness!

Since the realization that I can officially call myself a Princess, I will be taking up residence in a luxurious palace and wearing jewels for the vast majority of my time now! 
I'll decorate my abode with the finest Lux Items - a gacha collection from Oubliette is perfect, if you are lucky to win the pieces at the current round of Gachaland that runs until July 31st - just look at all of those opulent textures and royal colours. Melora - of Oubliette - has outdone herself with this set, the textures and designs are ab-so-fucking-lutely gorgeous, and for someone who normally avoids purple like the plague I was drawn to it today all because of this furniture!! 
Due to the colour of the room, I chose to wear my somewhat matching collection of Royal Jewels - collection from Ama at LootBox Gacha. Such beauty, fit for a Princess that may one day grow up to be a queen like her Moms!
