Have you checked out Global Domination yet? This gorgeous couch is one of the prizes.

I’ve been really in the mood for spring lately, probably because it’s been so cold here. I just want my sun back, it’s way too cold for me!

I’ve been trying to share raw shots of some of my pictures on my profile feed and I was wondering if you guys wanted me to continue to try and do that or it doesn’t really matter to you? I only do it if it’s convenient and if I remember but if you guys like to see the raw shots, then I’ll try and do it more often, so let me know!

Content Creator Ewan Mureaux of Conspiracy Theory requested some of us ladies on plurk to assist him with this creative new calendar he has released for the Zodiac event this month.

Zodiac Capricorn started yesterday. Capricorns are hard workers, practical, prudent, ambitious and disciplined. A calendar is a must have for each capricorn! This calendar will also make a lovely addition to your home as it comes with a nail attached at the top to hang on any wall in your house. I think it’ll be a wonderful decorative gift to your loved one for the holidays!

I’m Miss January, as you can see, and you will find 11 other lovely ladies throughout the calendar with a beautifully themed picture for each month. I also have to say, Mr. Mureaux is definitely in the giving holiday spirit because he put a split script in the calendar so everyone that created pictures for him to be used in this calendar is getting an even share of the proceeds. I had no idea he was going to do that, what a sweetheart! Thank you Ewan! <3

I'm pretty sure this is probably going to my last post till after I get back from vacation now in the new year so I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and a fun and exciting new year! <3

Take the slurl to Zodiac now to pick up the calendar.

First, please accept my apologies for this very picture heavy post, but I couldn’t resist. A friend told me to check out this amazing new home by creator Eliza Wierwight. Now usually, I am never interested in seeing or blogging homes or furniture because that’s not really what I do in SL. I don’t feel like I actually “live” in SL. I have never owned any land or any real home and I just kind of have some poseballs thrown all over an empty white platform. LOL And that’s pretty much the way I’ve always been most of my SLife. However, after seeing this home, I am getting an itch to actually get some land and move in. You can tell it’s really made with a lot of love and care. But you don’t have to take my word for it, you can visit it yourself inworld, it’s on the destination guide!

Other than the first image in this post, the rest of the last four images are RAW SHOTS and not processed in any way other than a little cropping and resizing. The home is full of gorgeous textures and the way it’s decorated really gives it such a calm, relaxing feel.

I love the little island behind the home as well, it’s almost like a little secret getaway.

But my most favorite room of all is the bathroom. I could seriously live in this bathroom, it’s that beautiful and peaceful.

When you land there, you’ll get passed a notecard with all of the information about the house and even the price and pretty much anything else you’d like to know. I was thinking of sharing the information that’s on the notecard in my post here, but I figured it’s better if you guys actually go check out the house yourself, because really, my pictures don’t do it justice.

Take the slurl and have fun exploring! <3

Chic has turned two and is having a fantastic birthday bash from June 3rd till the 24th. 150 designers are participating, each with their own exclusive item for this event. The skin I’m wearing is Mia by Glam Affair and is available at CHIC². The Serphim blog has done a great job of covering this Chic event, check it out at this link.

FaMESHed has also started again this month, this time with even more designers participating with their unique mesh items. The dress, jewels and chair you see in the pictures are all from FaMESHed. I love the adorable babydoll dress from Pixel Mode which is available in six different patterns and colors. Also a favorite is this chair from Mudhoney which comes with ten couples animations and 23 singles animations. I had a lot of fun playing around with the poses in this. Seraphim blog has covered FaMESHed as well.

Finally, the leggings I’m wearing are from {Zaara} and Zaara is currently having her annual sale, so everything in the {Zaara} store is 50% off till June 9th (which incidently is Ms. Zaara Kohime’s birthday). Zaara has also gone ahead and reduced the prices in her marketplace store as well to 50% off. So now you can shop to your heart’s content right from the comfort of your skybox. :P

After skimming through my out-of-control inventory earlier this morning, I realized that this is the first League skin I have ever owned. I am totally shocked about that myself. Not sure why I didn’t get my hermit self there before but I’m really glad I did this time because this Jen skin is just outstanding. I’m so in love with it. It’s very rare that a skin has everything that I’m looking for. I especially love this tone on me. Check out all the details to Jen on Nena Janus’ flickr.

I’m probably going to get yelled at by Zaara for blogging this new lingerie set already, but I just couldn’t help it. Ever since she sent it to me a few days ago, I just didn’t want to take it off. It’s not set to release for at least another week though, sorry about that. The color combinations are amazing, I can’t wait for you guys to see them. There will be 6 color combos and I’m wearing the oreo. The name of the lingerie is Aksaka which means “sensual” in sanskrit and suits this style perfectly. Join the Zaara inworld group or subscribe to the Zaara blog to be the first to know when she releases.

Finally, I thought I would share this site, PicMonkey.com, because I find it so useful as well. If you want to do a quick edit on a pic or if you don’t have Photoshop or another photo editing program, I think you’ll find PicMonkey to be very helpful. The frames you see on these images were placed there using that site, it literally took me 2 minutes to do both images. They have lots of editing options and neat things to play with, so definitely check it out and have a little fun with your pictures!
