Well, that didn’t last long…

Goodness, I had to chuckle, every time I make post to say I’m back, I’m not really and then six months to a year goes by and I make my come back again. The thing is, I really want to be back. I miss my friends and I miss dressing up and I really miss blogging, but my life has changed so much over the past 15 years since the first time I logged in, that it is just not priority anymore.

So, I’m definitely not going to say that I’m back, because I’ll probably blog next year December again. Talking about my friends, not many are still around, and it is really hard to make new friends. I think 15 years ago, it was so much easier.

I do love logging in over Christmas time. We have a summer Christmas filled with beaches, sun, cold meats and salads, which I absolutely love, but there is nothing quite as magical to experience a white Christmas where all the Christmas carols actually makes sense! So, I’m lucky enough to experience the best of both worlds.

That is me for now. I’ll be back when I’m back! Best wishes!

Almost a year to the day

It is almost a year to the day that I last blogged. I can’t believe that I actually still have readers. Thank you for those that keeps coming back, even if there are no new content.

I feel inspired again because I finally got a new PC, the other one was 10 years old and I couldn’t really take pictures anymore. It feels so good to actually have a computer that can run SL again. As you can imagine there isn’t so many of my friends around anymore and that is perfectly fine, hell I never expected to be back ever. But that means I really don’t have that much to do and I never wanted to be a creator and you can only club that much. One thing that didn’t change is that there is basically no clubs open in my time zone.

So to that end I decided to go through my inventor – which is quite substantial and see if I can still style what I have. And if if I can’t style it, or don’t like it, I’ll get rid of it. So I can take pictures and have some styling fun!

With no further ado… here is my first attempt. Since my inventory is filed alphabetically according to creator names, Addams was up first. This is fun summer outfit:

Addams – Caroline Denim Shorts / Addams – Carolyne Flare Shirt

Wonder how many did it??

I joined premium membership today. I wonder how many did? I uhm’ed and ahm’ed about it. I had premium membership when I first started SL, but I never wanted to work. I work full time and don’t want to work in SL too. So eventually I didn’t really see the benefit and down graded.

Now, I normally pay rent for a house and just be on my merry way all the time. I log in when I want too, buy linden as I need and do what I want, but then RL gets busy and I don’t feel like logging in and then one day turns into the next and one week turns into the next and bam! I’m SL homeless. I log back in, search for a home, decorate, stay a few weeks and the cycle starts all over again.

Premium I think, will work well for me as I don’t have to log in to pay rent. I now have my own little oasis and it is not that expensive compared to what I spend it SL anyway. So for me, it did make sense and I sort of feel more committed again. How about you?

at my finest

This morning was one of those mornings. I woke up way too early and fell asleep just as I was about to get up. So when I did get up, I was in really still sleeping. So doing the things I had to do in the mornings I was surprised that I actually had time to eat breakfast and water the plant babies. Feeling very happy and relaxed when I know I should really be in a rush, but taking it cos you know… how often are you happy and relaxed in the morning. 

That was until I walked into the office. Not only did I forget to any put jewellery on, I’ve put mascara on only one eye. It also slipped my mind to prepare and bring my lunch (what!!??) and of course my phone was left at home too. On the bright side, I did not put two different shoes on… yup that has happened before. Not only did I put different shoes on the last time, but I was standing at the printer looking at my shoes and was wondering what was off… not even realising! Only much later, after I have been through the office a few times I sat on my chair, and it just hit me… not one of my finest days.

But lets get back to today, I can cope with most of my slip ups today, but my vain self refuse to let me go without mascara on my one eye… It is really noticeable since I have blonde eyelashes and I wear black mascara. I’m not going to do the Cruella look today! I had to slip out and buy myself a new mascara, even though I don’t need it, but I’ll keep this one in my drawer at work for days like these. I need to start covering my bases. This is happening way too often.

Now just to get through the day without my phone… that in itself, is a massive challenge.

The picture doesn’t have much to do with this theme, but hey that’s food I don’t have today. 

worked from a cafe today

I always wanted to be like the people in the movies, where they sit in their favorite cafe and work away on their laptops. Always thought that was pretty cool, but it can only happen if you are self employed or working from home, right? And I’m one of those 9-5’ers that slog away the day.

Well today I was working from home and decided to try it. Goodness, I really loved it! I felt the buzz around me and it was just all happening. Such a weird thing to be excited about, but I had recently had very mild Covid and couldn’t go out as I was in isolation. I worked from hom and have to say, I actually miss the interaction with my colleagues. It also felt like my life was standing still while the world seemed to be moving on. So today, working from home (not sick anymore), I did it! I wrote a 12 page report and did it in a few hours. When I’m doing it at home or work, it takes me days! To be fair normally I’m also interrupted a million times.

Weird what a little change in location and inspiration can do.

This is just an old picture I took in 2018, not new, but it fitted the theme, so why not?

deer river spring

I want to apologise for two things from the start… the photo spam and the moodiness of the photos. I visited Deer River Spring and could not get enough. As soon as I think, right I have all the picks I can do, I see more photos opportunities. So I took them all.

Be warned that the sim is so stunning, there are tons of people around so they may photo bomb. I’m sure I photo bombed so many – sorry! The benefit of that is though that people stand nice and still so you can take a pic of them too and make them part of the scene, like this one with the bike. Thank you Bug for posing… although I have no idea who you are!

The only thing that made it hard for my style of photography was that there are a lot of yellow flowers around and trying to take a more fun, sunny, springy pic was hard for me. The yellow just made it too bright, hence the more moody pictures. In saying that, it is only because of what I like, it might work perfectly for other photographers and I also looked back on all my previous photos, and they all seemed to be moody. So there is that. I would 100% recommend you to have a nosy.

And then lastly, the horses, they look amazing and a few people were around were riding them and it looks so good. I actually tried to catch one in action, but it just didn’t set the scene. I will try one the next time I’m there, because I will definitely be back.

late to the party

I know I’m really late to the party, but how good are those new Swallow ears? This is not a sponsored post by the way. I have been wearing Mandala ears for years, but recently I went to RichB to find the cross that I’m wearing on the side of my head and saw that you could buy accessories for Swallow ears. Another awesome thing about these ears is that you can buy (without cost) your skin to perfectly match what you are wearing. I totally recommend. It is super cute!

do you believe in the stars

As a Capricorn, I’m a solid earth sign but that doesn’t prevent me frequently looking up at the stars. I love the stars. They’ve given the most amazing guidance, and you cans end them any wish, believe in your wish and it can come true.

Have you ever looked at the stars and wondered if you hearts person, maybe on the other side of the world or just in one town over, look at them and wonder if you see the same stars?

Every night, winter or summer, I sit outside to relax before bed with a hot or cold drink and process my day. Most nights I just gaze up to the stars, thankful for the day and dream about the future. Sometimes I put it out to the universe what I need and most times I just enjoy how pretty the stars are, even if covered with clouds, I know they are still there.

I recently read this: ‘Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world’

lets talk about sex

I don’t venture out most days when I’m on SL. But some days I feel brave and go to a club with good music and park myself in a dance and sorta keep an eye on chat while I edit a picture or browse Facebook or Plurk.

My profile is a minimalist style. I enjoy reading profiles but it if there is so much info in there, I just close it up and move on. Who has time for that? Even if I have the time. My SL profile says “I am exactly who they say I am”. It is a bit tongue in the cheek really, because I’m nobody and no one says anything about me. But, it does make for very interesting conversation openers.

There was… “who do they say you are?” and “so you’re ARE a slut”. I just confirm that I am and see where it goes from there. I guess I bring it on myself, but is there anything else that guys talk about? Do people really just have sex with random people on SL? I had this guy say to me that he lost his mojo the past few weeks, but in his four years in SL, he had sex with 200 partners. It got him through lockdown and ” come on! Lets get it on”. I replied that he has definitely lost his mojo and needs to keep practicing.

That did make me wonder if is it true, not the 200 partners, but do people just have random virtual sex? Someone they have absolutely no connection with? I sort of get it when you are in a RL club, the vibe, the drinks and then hooking up with someone, but online? I’m not sure. May need to get out more.

Below is just me being thoughtful.
