Allergies Be Gone!

Allergies are one of the weirdest ailments that we seem to suffer from... It's always made me wonder about the amazingness of humans when some people are allergic to somethings and others are not. I know that we're all different but then you add something like that to the mix it's just another amazing thing, in a world full of amazing... There are so many things people are allergic too, and that can change any time. I'm just glad some of the worst ones aren't things I suffer with... 

I have a colleague that had a lactose intolerance and because she worked in the cheese shop and tasted small amounts every day she seemed to cure herself, whilst a friend of mine at university ate pasta and noodles for every meal and ended up with a gluten intolerance lol... It's amazing how these things can be affected by the way we live our lives... 
I don't think I have an allergy to anything, but I am MAJORLY against the heat... It's been boiling here for the past few days and while I LOVE the early morning sun and the cooler evenings, the height of the heat in the middle of the day can just bite me... 
SO aside from the rambling I want to say to those that do suffer I'm sorry... I'd love to aide in your healing, I want to welcome you to the Pollen Club - a collection from Junk Food, that contains tea, pills, tissues, and other things to clear the air - where we have tea and cake and lots of things that will help to make you feel better...

Trouble Under The Sea!

When I get a random idea for a blog post they tend to be the ones that make me smile the most. I will always admit that half the time when I start a picture I have NO idea where it will go or what the outcome will be but I have to say that these are the pictures that make me happiest. The entire reason that I blog is a chance to forget the world around me and find a little happiness, so the ones that make me laugh most are the best for me... 

Today was one of those days, and so while I was putting my ideas together I decided to go for a little swim and see where the ideas went... 
I was wearing a bathing suit - which is actually an amazing outfit from Psycho Barbie called Narkissa that ISN'T a bathing suit but looked perfect as a wetsuit, and I'm sorry to the Psycho Barbie team for misuse of their clothing lol - and splashing around in the water. I took a deeper dive down into the water and that was when the trouble went from barely there to TERRIBLE. I guess it may well be my own fault though as I have to stop myself reading so much of that monster smut LOL...

Asking for my Fortune

At the start of every year, people always seem to be asking me whether or not I've made any new years resolutions. Some years I try to, and others I tend not, but then this year I HAVE made one and it's a very loosely set one. It could be interpreted in lots of different ways, and I'm quite happy to keep it open and flexible... I'm going to put more faith in the fortune telling machines than any resolutions though... 

The Fortune Teller - a release from Krescendo for the still running round of The Fifty until January 20th - may not give me the yearly resolution that I could work towards but their fortunate suggestions are just ambiguous enough that maybe they will help me out, a little?!

Mardi Gras!

Today is Mardi Gras... Apparently... Honestly I had a bit of a shock the other day. I have in the past decided to look into holidays of other cultures to broaden my horizons and give me lots of information about things I didn't know... One thing I wasn't expecting when I decided to learn about Mardi Gras was that it is actually a day I know fairly well... Mardi Gras is the French celebration translated as Fat Tuesday, known to me with my Brit roots as Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday... 

So what is Mardi Gras and what random interesting things do I know about it... When I think of Mardi Gras I think of New Orleans, it's a party to celebrate the end of Carnival, and just like Shrove Tuesday in the UK, where it's common practice to stuff ourselves with pancakes, it's the last day of eating heavy, rich, fatty foods before the Christian Festival of Lent... 
I know the parties of Carnival can be crazy, they celebrate here in the Netherlands too, but one day I'd love to see how it's done in New Orleans whilst stuffing down some delicious pancakes LOL...

I went out on our annual work team outing last night and I'm a little tired today, but it was funny...

We had Sushi for dinner, so I had to get my Mermaid on, although this time, I went a little more monstermer than I ever have before...

There are Shoals of Fish, Starfish, Clams, and Crabs - all of which are available at MishMish - and even the rare little rainbow Flapjack Octopus and his friends - a release from Aardvark, available until August 8th at ACCESS by the way - have been brought out to play in the Mermaid Cove...

Stealing the King's Trident

Whilst working on my blogging stuff and things today, I found my mind drifting off to another of it's many fantasy worlds and this time we drifte back under the waves, down deep into the sea where the sun shimmers on the water causing sparkles to dance on the sea bed... The mermaid in question today is not one of the ethereal princess types that floats into my blog from time to time, this one is a sneaky diva on a mission... 

There has been a coup in the royal palace of King Triton, and now in the Mermaid Cove the opposition have put some huge burly, Chubby Fish Guards - from Tardfish - have been placed on guard over the super important trident of the sea king...

The Magic of the Cards

 It was so quiet at work today that I left early. It was SO quiet that it was weirdly quiet, and yes we expect  quiet period at this time of year, but it was INSANE... Like a strange magic spell has been cast over everything, and since it's raining people are just away in hiding...
Rudh decided to get home and check the cards for their magic, letting the light sparkle from her to the cards, which could only be read after the spirits had shuffled them well... 

It's the simplest of magic, the kind that even the most novice of witches should be able to conjour up with ease.. Every witch has their own colour depending on the magic they practice and their personality, and Rudh's happens to be green as she's calm, friendly and down-to-earth... He boyfriend Frank, that she keeps as a headless Frank - thanks to a decor prop from Krescendo called Franky Faces at Satan Inc until November 1st - under a glass cloche when she's working her magic because he has a tendency to be a bit skeptical... Which is funny considering he's a head in a jar... 
Anyway, once her magic began to sparkle nothing else but the cards mattered, the Occult Cards - from Tardfish in a Necromancer design - in her hand started swirling through the air as they began to slowly give her the information that she required for the day ahead tomorrow...

A Dance with the Jellies

Trying to lift my mood from that feeling of being down in the dumps and to do that I'm going to drop myself back into my blogging. I have lots of things to do and lots of things that I need to play with. I'm actually looking forward to finding all different kinds of weird and wonderful fantasy worlds to get lost in... 
Today I took a little dive under the sea... I was swimming around and found myself the perfect place to let off some steam. I mean it's definitely a cold place where the steam will be dealt with. Deep under the sea, where the jellyfish gather to dance... 

Below the surface of the seas, in the rocks and corals there is a secluded space where the Jellyfish dance... Whilst I was visiting I dug through my massive wardrobe and found the perfect costume to join the dance in the form of a beautiful Fay Dress in a pale sky colour - thanks to a gorgeous dress released by Kiru. There was, however, something missing... I needed something that would pack a punch, I didn't have a sting but I did know a little eel that lived close by. I decided to replace that poisonous sting, since I'd more than likely have stung myself, with a little Voltaic Aura - from Quills & Curiosities, at the current round of The Warehouse Sale - to give those around me a little shock...

Asking the Cards for Guidance...

Tomorrow is my day off... I'm looking forward to having a day of relaxation, a chance to do a little photo taking and create a little magic, although these days I can never predict whether it will be able to happen... I've decided to seek the advice of someone that might be more likely to give me a better idea if it will work out the way I want it... I'm off to see someone who will consult the cards and give me some good news... 

The Cartomancer - a backdrop and pose set from piXit - sitting in her den is a mystic, reading the cards and seeing the images in her crystal ball... The magic is so powerful that the cards have risen in a flight of the tarot, swirling around her head as she plucks the World Card from the display... 
I hope that she has some good news for me...

The Magic of a Library

I had planned to work on this post two days ago now, and when it didnt work on the last day of January I thought I'd get to it yesterday. My body defied that plan... I had the worst migraine of my life, and almost wished that I was dead just to stop the pain. I didn't want to think, I didn't want to do anything and I couldn't even if I had tried... 
Today though I feel so much better, my brain is alive and have finally got a clear head. I feel so much better now that allowing my brain to slip into a fantasy world while I read a good book is possible now that my head is free and not pulsing with neon auras that make everything spin... I am ready to jump into the fantasy head first... 

On days like today, when I decided that I needed to get myself into the books I had to find the perfect thing to read... I had to head to the Midnight Order's Library - an amazing backdrop released by Dirty Rat for the Midnight Order event that runs until February 20th - to find the perfect book. Once I entered the chamber though, things looked more than a little magical. As I walked further into the floor, the floorboards seemed to be disappearing, books were swirling around being dragged into the most magical of rainbow vortexes... Sparkles luring me in, making me want to dive on in to the stories that were flowing from the pages of these amazing books...

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!

Born in the 80s!

Doing some New Year Spring Cleaning... Starting with my RL house, and maybe little by little my SL inventory MAY get an overhaul, bear in mind though I said MAYBE and that's never a huge possibility. Whilst I'm sorting somethings out, doing a little organising, I've found some AMAZING things, that will help with distraction... 
First it was the 80s toys that I'd had from my very early years of life, then one of the cheesiest work-out videos and even my old walkman with some of the best classic rock tapes, BUT the best discovery was the brick that was one of the first cellphones... 

There are so many cool old toys, like the funkiest of toy trolls - from imbue - and the dancing Cool Can  - from NOMAD - but I think that the most excited thing happened to be the adorable little Gremlay who instantly decided to get crazy and join in the cheesy 80s workout that I'd managed to get working from a VHS tape on an old TV - from Junk Food at this month's round of Anthem until January 30th... 
Gotta love the cheesiness of the 80s, I was born in the 80s, but I'm really a child of the 90s since that's when I can actually remember things... Yet, I LOVE the reminders of my youth...

Time to get Wrapping...

Christmas is a week away now, and there is SO MUCH left to do...

Choices, Choices, which door do I choose?

Halloween has finally left the building, although I don't think it will ever fully be gone from my corner of the world. Though there is lots of magic still swirling around in the air, and I know that since Rudh is always into the magical arts, that there will ALWAYS be plenty of magic and monsters and darkness... Yet right now, as the Halloween magic fades away Rudh has a choice, is she going to be playing more on the darkside of the magic, or will she be able to follow to the light?

Standing before the doors in the Library of Portals - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - she has to make her decision before the doors are able to close and block the magic for a while. The dark side is hoping to lure her in with it's beautiful collection of skulls and devious little monsters, but the good side is offering up sparkles and magic tricks and everythig that's cute and adorable! 
Which door should I take? Which is the right path for me... You know it's such a hard choice to make!!!

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.

Becoming Queen Bee

I have been on a rather random, weird fantasy world lately and I can't say that I'm not enjoying it. I've always had a passion for creating the weird and wonderful characters, my blogging world is full of them, each one unique and random and different, but very occasionally I let my mind create one that will surprise even me... 
This very situation happened today, I was out walking through the glorious countryside, and I spotted the beehives in the corner of the field. I gave them a wide birth, fearing being stung by any of the bees, I guess though my caution was worthless... I got stung, and it was the sting that caused the magic to happen... 

In the fields where the Sunset Rising happens - thanks to a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - I meandered towards the Bee Hives - a beautiful set from Apple Fall if you're interested - and felt the bees - which in this case are adorable and from LODE - begin to dance, welcoming their new leader... I didn't notice the changes at first, but when I caught a glimpse of myself in a honey jar, the image was amazing... I'd gone full on Honey Bee - thanks to a new release from Fantasy Forest Store - I was going to be the new queen, I was crowned with a beautiful Heartsong Crown - from Six Feet Under that you can see more clearly in the ad that I'm sharing below - and I was to help make sure the hive would survive and thrive... I was ready to do my part... I just hope that there might be bigger boy bees than the ones flying around, I need someone much bigger to procreate with hehe...

Tropical Fruit Juices

It's been a very hot day, and actually it's going to be hotter over the weekend so right now I'm trying to do anything to cool myself off... 
Frankly I'd like to be somewhere cool and relaxing, a tropical beach perhaps where the sounds of the rolling waves and the breeze in the palm trees is the loudest of noises. It would be nice to sit on a beach in the shade of a palm tree with a nice, cool, glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice! 

This gorgeous little beach bar set out tables laiden with fresh tropical fruits - thanks to the amazing Tropical Fruit Selection from vespertine - and fruity Ice Lollies, that can be ground fresh by the blender - from Disorderly - that is available for use on the table. I made myself a delicious Summer Drink of Berry and Ananas - it's actually an awesome VEHICLE, yes vehicle, from Ananas, available until July 20th at The Fifty. It makes for a delicious juice, but also an awesome chilled place for a little dip...
