A Laundry Day Discovery!

I'm having one of those days, the kind of days when your brain is so messed up, and you've forgotten that you've already blogged something but then you remember it's OK, it's laundry day anyway... I have so much laundry since I have yet to unpack from my trip home... Some things still smell like the laundry detergent that my parents use... I guess though it's time that I suck it up and do some laundry...

I did a lot of laundry at home when I was helping my dad with things for him and mum, but there's always some stuff that I have to wash... 
When I was playing with my clothes in Second Life, I discovered that there was a lot laundry to get done there too... I tend to wear outfits so often and then I never see them again after a week's wearing of them LOL... Perhaps I should wash them before I put them away... So I grabbed all of my dirty wash and headed on down to the Bubble Bliss Laundromat - a backdrop from K&S - and started sorting my clothes into the machines... 
It was then that I made the crazy discovery... A friend of my Dad's, the pigeon named Walter - a release from YOKAI for the Animal Party that can be found until July 10th at Kustom9 - happened to sneak into my luggage and he was only just found... Luckily it was me and not my cat that found him...

A Feast for the Festive Days

Well Ladies and Gents, that's it... We've made it to the most festive few days of the year... Christmas is upon us and people will be celebrating either tomorrow or Thursday, depending on where you are and what your traditions have always been... I'm going to be working tomorrow, and I get to work my butt off on Thursday to make a Christmas dinner for my hubby and monster-in-law, but it won't be long and before we know it, it will have passed us by once more... Enjoy it while we can... 

I spent a long time trying to work out what I wanted to do as my last post for the festive season and I'll be honest, there was a lot of things I really found it hard to do. I wasn't going to do something uber festive, I don't feel special enough at the moment but there is always one thing that will make me happy... FOOD... I'm a collector of the stuff when it comes to Second Life, and I love sitting around sharing foods with friends and family while we chat and spend time together... 
So I'm setting out a picky snacky feast, full of cheese, and other Christmassy nibbles... I've thrown together a few little decorations and there will be champagne to enjoy... 
Before I start to enjoy this delicious looking Christmas feast, I wanted to spend a moment to wish everyone a very festive holiday, and a very merry whatever you're having... Happy Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel and Fijne Feestdagen...

Tempestuous Tides for Mermonsters and Tentacled Beings

My mind is in turmoil, I am tired and distracted and keep doing things that cause myself harm... Nothing is super bad but I cut myself whilst making dinner tonight and I cried about it far too much... 
As is usual in times like this, when my brain is breaking I find myself disappearing into a prettier and happier part of my mind, somewhere a little more fantastical... The seas may be Tempestuous, but the rough seas should be the worst of my problems... 

The tempestuous nature of the seas are only exciting the tentacled beasts below the depths... They make Tentacle Hearts - like those from Krescendo - at the lovely merfolk that swim alongside them... 
This little mermonster knows that she's well protected by the tentacles from the deep, and her Alien Astral - which is actually the name of the head and skin from BeSpoke - aura will assist them in their hunt for pirates, and the protect her from the very pirates that want to steal her tears...

June has always marked the start of the Summer for me too... I'm not a fan of summer since it tends to get way too hot, but we'll do the best we can and get through this...

Dance Among The Stars

I need a little magic, I need a little rest and a lot of time to sleep... I need to find that magic to help myself rest up... I'm going to close my eyes and let my imagination soar, I want to be somewhere where the magic fizzes and sparkles and lights up the darkness... 

When I am at my lowest I tend to find the most sparkly of fae folk to bring me out of my slump and make things seem more effervescent... 
That is exactly what happened when I closed my eyes today and started to let my mind drift off to another world. I ended up drifting up and away, I ended up ascending to a demonic realm but one where I could dance among the stars and sparkle through the clouds... I love dancing and drifting off to a new place in my head...

A Delicious Easter Brunch

Yesterday was Easter Sunday and we saw a visit from Easter Bunny who filled my home with chocolates and yummy things, and today the Easter feeling continues as it is Easter Monday... 
For those that follow Christianity or Catholicism, this weekend has been one of spiritual importance, made a little sadder this year due to the death of the current Pope. For people like me it's more about the adorable Easter Bunny and his delicious Easter treats...
Today, HellBone and I have finally had some time for a delicious Easter brunchfast... 

The Easter Bunny did us a MASSIVE delicious brunchfast, with all the lovely things he brought... 
There were some amazing Hot Cross Buns - from vespertine - which are a staple for me for Easter Breakfasts from when I was growing up in the UK and they are something I dearly miss now that I don't live there. The bunny wanted us to have them with chocolate and ice cream, which seemed weird but I'm willing to give everything a go... There were dippy eggs to eat with toast and croissants, and MASSES of chocolate in the form of chocolate bunnies, my favourite tiny chocolate eggs and some of the delicious Junk Food Primbury Eggs - HellBone is addicted to the real Cadbury's Creme Eggs and these are the closest I've found in SL...

Rainbows, Sparkles and Happiness

It's one of those lovely lazy days when I have the day off between being stuck at work for the next couple of days... I'm busy getting things packed and ready for my trip home soon, and I'm super excited although I'll be away from my hubs for a couple of weeks. I AM GOING HOME FOR A REAL REST... Can you tell I'm excited and happy?!

I haven't felt this happy and excited about a trip home since last April when I had the concert of Take That and the most amazing seats we've ever been in for one of their shows... This time there is nothing much planned, besides a trip to see my Grandparents, and the chance to have the attention of my parents all to myself... It's a GOOD excitement... 
I feel like everything is sparkly, I'll miss Valentines but meh that holiday is a yuck one, and my hubby knows I love him anyway... He'll get a million Cream Eggs as a sign of love when I get home... For now though I'm counting down the days and enjoying that sparkly feeling I have... Rainbows and Sparkles and a boatload of happiness...

A Mermaid's Garden

I went out on our annual work team outing last night and I'm a little tired today, but it was funny... The one thing I found myself coming up with one idea, and one idea only that wouldn't budge was something a little fishy... 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... 

A monstermer deserves a little time in the limelight too, they aren't al Ariel wannabes down there under the sea, but that doesn't make them any less gorgeous... 
Within the Lost Atlantis - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy by the way - Garden, you may come across it's caretaker the Keppel Deep Sea Siren - a head and skin set from BeSpoke - in her Magic Clam accessories - from Faunus - that protects the fishies and tends to the flowers...

Fluffies and Sparklies

I go through days of randomness where I want to do silly things, I want to do dark and deadly things, I want to do futuristic cyborg type things and then there are days like today when I want to be a sparkly fantasy being that's living in a world of brilliance and colours... I love each and every mode of my brain, but for some reason days like this, I feel bright and effervescent... I LOVE taking a walk through the stars... 

I know that I have a random style, you never know what my pictures will be like on any given day and that's why I feel like my blog is a definite form of therapy for me... Doesn't matter what my mood is when I start, doesn't matter what the picture looks like in the outcome, I'll always be feeling a little lighter, a lote more relaxed and will definitely be smiling... 
Today the smiles are bright and colourful, cute and fluffy, magically angellic with a hint of "awww look at that thing"... An angel walking on and through the clouds, talking to the Fuzz Balls - from Sakura - and the Magical Bears - from Tardfish for the current round of Kawaii Secrets - stretching her Ethereal Wings - by Doe, who is at the moment making simply amazing wings that I admit I'm totally addicted to - and letting the light dance under the Fairytale Umbrella - a gorgeous creation from YOKAI...

A Little Green Magic!

What is a girl to do with herself when that vacation feeling hits... Some people like to travel, others like to do crafts, I personally love to get lost in a good book more than usual, but there are others that LOVE to garden... I'm never going to be a good gardener, I've not got greenfingers or thumbs and even though it seems to be something all my family are good at, I'm not even able to keep a cactus alive... 
I'll stick to gardening in Second Life, it seems a little easier and if my fingers and thumbs don't work then there is penty of magic to aid my desire to grow... 

I will say though that even in Second Life I have problems when I'm growing things... HellBone is in charge of our beautiful garden and although I pretend the vegetable plot is mine, we all know he's the one in charge of it. When I attempt to grow things, using a little magical touch to get things to sprout, there is always an issue or two.. Carnivorous plants, bulbous plants, plants that inspire magic and even the Honey Bees are a little bit Bunny-like - but they are such a gorgeous cute little pair from YOKAI at Collabor88 - can be found in the Greenhouse - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis...

An Enchanting Mermaid Dance

 My happy place always tends to be something fantastical. I'venever been very good at straight up, look-of-the-day kinda posts like some of my blogging buddies, and even though I ALWAYS love what I post, I know not all of them will please everyone. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too random and all over the place for most people, you never know what kind of picture you'll see escape my mind... 
Today it was something a little magical and aquatic... Enchantment has opened it's doors to the Mer Kingdom, and if you know me at all you should know that I love to create pretty Mermaids and let them swim through my mind as a happy place... 

Although many of my mermaids tend to look similar, they should as they are from the same family tree considering they all drop out of my mind... I still love to bring them to the surface and allow everyone to watch them dance under the waves, bubbles and fishies swirling along in the dance... 
She's dressed up for a party to dance, wearing her pearls and tiaras, but its the bigger that is the most special... The biggest of the tiara's was a special gift, a Mermaid Headpiece fit for a dancing queen - made by Boutique #187 exclusively at Enchantment until December 2nd - and it definitely enhances her mermaid vibes...

Skelly Chaos at the Spooky Spa

Sunday Night has always been a bath night in this house, and in the house since I was a little kid, because Monday morning was a school day and we had to be fresh and clean for school, I guess the habit has stuck with me all these years. I used to love taking long baths when I was a kid, but switched to long hot showers as I got older. I think that I started thinking more about soaking in the dirty water and decided to splish splash in the rain-like shower instead. 
This week though I am working on Sunday, and so I have to wait until Monday for my long showering pampering regime... In SL though, Rudh will be without me so she's booked herself into a little Witchy Spa for relaxation and peace... 

This spa is located within the old Royal Hall - a backdrop from FOXCITY - and the witchy sisters that run the place have set it up for pure luxury... They've turned huge old cauldrons into amazing Hexxed Hot Tubs - from Krescendo at FaMESHed - and decorated the private space with a lucious Ouija rug - also from Krescendo but at Kinky for just a couple more days - and a table with the set up needed to make the perfect cup of tea, including a set of Witchy Clutter - that's also from Krescendo at MadPea's Masquerade of Murder- and the coolest set of Crime Scene Tumblers - from Boutique #187 that you can hunt for at this year's SPOOKZILLA - as well as the most adorable of signs to show customers where they can get their fresh sheets, sorry I mean towels - a sign in a collection of hunt items from Junk Food for Spookzilla... 
They have promised me lots of peace and quiet, restful time to myself with a good book. Yet when I was taking a selfie to post on Facebook, I noticed that I wasn't alone... There were some adorable little Skeleton Animals - from Yokai - causing chaos, one reading through my book and two more splashing about in the hot tub... Looks like the peace and quiet won't be so peaceful...

Checking the Autumn Manual

As Autumn seems to have taken root more over the weekend, I am finding myself getting more into the cycle of reading a good book and snuggling up under a blanket in the evening, I've put off the idea of lighting candles and snuggling into the darkness... 
There's something so pretty about the change of the season, and even in SL there are so many pretty changes afoot... Must be strange for anyone that's not heading into the same seasons that the Northern Hemisphere is heading for, but there's just something so magical about this time of year, even without the Halloween magic... 

The forest folk are busy preparing the forests, so that the colour changes and greets people with that warm sense of happiness and Autumn Colours... All of the fae folk have been given a new manual on the changing of the reason and each of them is expected to read it cover to cover... 
We caught a little mushroom fae, decorated in a Mushy Hat - from Fayette at 13th Street until September 25th - and Toadstool Mushroom Skirt, but whilst she's been busy reading, it seems like some of those adorable baby deer have been messing around in her mushrooms...

Dance among the Bubbles

When I have days off it's the time that I find myself able to get creatively happy, and sometimes a new product is released that makes me scream and I cannot get my hands on it fast enough... 
Then it was on a journey under the waves, where the mermaid in me met her fairy match and the mixing became one of the prettiest beings I think we'll ever get to meet... Deep below the surface, the Merfae sparkles and dances in the bubbles...  

Under the sea, where the Merfae dances amongst the bubbles, she's greeted and welcomed into the cove by the adorable floraray Manta Rays - from Yokai - who taught her the dance of the magical sea folk...

Moths love the Lamplight!

It's been a while since I've had a craving to take a chance to do something a little magical. For some reason, I've been finding it hard to focus on blogging lately and have not been able to get in the zone and dip my toes into the fantastical world... 
Today though, as the lights started going down and lamps were lit, the magic of the night starts to come to life.. As beautiful as their daytime counterparts, the moths are the silent dancers of the night's sky... Guardians of the Night Fae, and the messengers of the Eagles, and serenly ghost-like...

Everyone knows that Moths are drawn to the light, they dance from the darkness and seek out any source... The Lanterns in the garden providing the softest of glows, the twinkling into the darkness and as the song goes, my lamp light brings all the "moths to the yard"...

Muu-velous Picnics of Deviled Eggs & Tulips

It's been a long day, and I've had some crazy people to deal with but now that I'm home I feel like making something delicious for dinner and finding a chance to let my mind drift into somewhere fun and fantastical to allow me to relax after this long day... If it wasn't customers being obnoxious, it was the company head office causing issues starting new systems without any heads up... 
I think I'd like to drive out into the countryside and watch the stars, maybe with a picnic, a blanket and someone cute to enjoy the peace of my evening... 

Under the backdrop of the Starry Night - which happens to be a gorgeous backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis by the way - during an early evening that has been scented by the earliest of 'Spring Bloom' Tulips - from what next, which are actually in planters but I cheekily buried them in the ground - I parked up the truck and set out my picnic - from a Picnic Basket set up by Junk Food - to see what treats I had for dinner... 
Only problem is, my darling little Muu buddies - from YOKAI - decided that their lil cow momma, that I had to dress up as to make sure they all felt safe and happy with me, decided that devilled eggs and chips weren't for them. They fancied the look of the farmers tulips instead...

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.

In the Flock...

The heat has left just a little today. It has dropped from in the high 30s to a still warm, but not as hot, 26 degrees. I still want to cool off, and would love to find somewhere to swim. I'd hide from the world and float away into the cool blue... Maybe while I'm there I might make myself some new friends. Less blue, more pink, perhaps? 

Everybody has their favourites of things... If you ask anyone they would tell you their favourite colour, toy, animal or bird. I will always admit that one of my favourite birdies has to be the pretty, pink, flamingos. I love flamingos SO much, they are such weird but pretty looking birds. 
I've decided to take a trip to the Blue Lagoon - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - which is home to a pretty flock of crazy, cute flamingos - from YOKAI. I simply couldn't resist getting myself dressed up in a bikini to head down to join them in the cool water. 
I needed a way to blend in, then I remembered my Birdy Head Hat - from Ananas, that comes in 6 different designs including penguins and angry birds, which you can get at Kustom9 until August 10th - which would help me become one with the birds...

Bathing with the Duckies

Sunday night, bath night... The most soapy bubbly day of the week. Honestly, it's the most relaxing time of the week for me, after a very busy day at work. The first of the longest days that I've had since I was in the hospital, as it was my first full day back at work. I had a great day, but then now I'm home I'm feeling all the soreness in my muscles. I definitely need a bath... 

I filled my hottub for a Moment - a tub from Violetility - it was time for a slow time - a pose from FOXCITY - but that wasn't the same idea of my new little friends... 
I had a sudden bath time invasion of a gaggle of Rubber Ducks - a brand new release from MishMish at Kustom9 - which lead to oodles of chaos, and a Bubble Bath Wig - from katat0nik!
