Shopping is the Best Therapy

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Shopping is the Best Therapyhttp://Another Portrait Shot

It’s true that except for groceries and other everyday necessities, I rarely shop brick-and-mortar stores any more… instead, I’m a confirmed online shopper.  But back in the day, I clearly remember days of “shop till you drop”, just going store to store, looking and trying on seemingly thousands of things, sometimes buying a lot, other times not buying a thing. Sometimes I wonder what changed… was it the shopping experience itself? was it me? was it the combination of both? I guess I’ll never know, but I DO know that there are times when a bit of retail shopping therapy is still exactly what’s called for to get out of a slump, or to chase those blues away.  There’s nothing quite like that feeling of walking out of a store, package in hand, knowing that you found exactly what it took to put that light back in your eyes and the smile on your face!  Not quite the same as shopping on MarketPlace lol!!!! 😉

  • Outfit:   [Sexy Princess] – Summer Tale Outfit, includes top, skirt & handbag. You’ll definitely be able to write your own story in this!

Island Dreaming

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Island Dreaming

So I’ll admit it… I’m suffering a bit from some good old-fashioned jealousy.  It’s probably not where your mind immediately goes lol… The fact is that my BFF is off on vacay in Hawaii — HAWAII!!!!! — and the green-eyed monster definitely has been paying me a visit.  I love tropical vacations, but I’ve only been to Hawaii once, and that was many many MANY years ago; at the time, we vowed we’d be back, but it’s never happened for one very simple reason… I live on the east coast. Do the math. Bottom line… I’m freakin’ jealous lol!!! So here I am instead, in my virtual tropical paradise, lusting after the real thing, dreaming of the magic of the Hawaiian islands, how it would feel to be there, wondering if they still hand out leis to all arrivals at the airport, how it would look, how it would smell, how the food would taste, the whole experience… on the other hand, this is a whole lot cheaper and there’s no jet lag.  At least that’s what I keep telling myself!!!  But wait, is that Tiny Bubbles I hear on the breeze????? Aloha oe!!!! 😉

  • Dress:  Pacifica – Flavie Spring Dress.  A definite step up from a sundress, Flavie is looks great, feels great, & offers an opportunity to really play with your dress so you can vary the look depending on your mood.  The HUD lets you change the texture of the front, the back, the flap, & the straps individually between any of 6 textures, so you can mix colors, prints, & tones however you want.

  • Shoes:  [Sheba] Creations – Bibi Mules.  This might be the perfect summer shoe. It’s so light, it’s barely there, & it includes a 50-texture HUD that lets you set a main color for the base of the shoe/heel & another for the middle strap, so it can go with just about anything, making it the perfect accompaniment to Flavie since it can easily adapt to whatever changes you make to the dress.

http://Barbie Does Donuts

Well, if my last post was a little bit retro, now I’ve fallen all the way down the retro rabbit hole!  And in “those” days, being a girl meant going pink, and since I rarely do anything halfway, I went for it full force!!!  Pink EVERYWHERE!!!!  But sadly, this girl’s no Betty Homemaker… I may be in the kitchen, but my donuts aren’t homemade, they’re store-bought, and just delish. Of course, if I keep doing the donuts, I won’t fit into my barbie clothes quite so well, but in the meantime, I’m having a pink lady (gotta stay in theme lol!)… what can I offer you? 😉

I Wanna Sea Cruise

Posted on by admin

http://I Wanna Sea Cruise

Many years ago, I lived on a huge series of interconnected sims with lots of open sailable water.  In addition to having wonderful views of beautifully landscaped islands across the way, one of my greatest joys was to hop in a boat after a stressful day at work in RL, and cruise the waterways… looking at what other people had done with their property, marveling at the creativity (or on occasion, the lack thereof), imagining the breeze in our hair, and the feel of the spray on our skin. Then the sim owner split the sims into a checkerboard “for greater privacy”, boating was lost, and ever since it’s been one of those things we’ve talked about finding a way to do, but just never have. Until now.  As I said a few posts back, I recently purchased a tiny oasis connected to a sailable sea, and have been busy boat shopping whenever I can. It’s a lot harder than you think, especially when you’re dealing with very limited prims and space (some of these boats have more land impact than my lot can hold with nothing else on it lol!).  And because they’re SOOOO expensive, I do want to be sure that we get the best one for our needs… which means it not only looks good and is fun to drive, but is loaded with anims that make me look good too! We’ve narrowed it down to 4 choices, and I’m really pressing to make a decision.  Maybe it’s this one? Or this?  Or wait…  I think THIS is the one!!!!  😉

  • Outfit:  Wang – Kamily Skirt & Top, that looks almost like a dress.  The top is just a sexy little ruffle that’s waaaay-off-shoulder & then sheer netting; the skirt has some of the netting but adds lacing down the front. Includes 4 color options (see the ad below), so you can easily make this dressier or more casual & look awesome either way! Sized for Slink P/H, Belleza V/I/F, & Maitreya.  Just 99L at the Designer Circle 07/19 March 30th – April 13th. 
  • Shoes:  [Sheba] Creations – Helen Sandals, have that open summery look that can dress up or down, which makes them the perfect addition to every closet!  Includes a 50-texture HUD that lets you set a main color for the base of the shoe/heel & another for the “strips”; in sizes for Slink, Belleza, & Maitreya. Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Alexandria has a beautiful island feel, with very light freckles & moles (I, of course, add more!), beautiful shading around the eyes, & the barest dark pink gloss to the lips.  She’s so gorgeous & so indescribable, I included a pic below.  She’s based on the new Genus strong face (which frankly, I’m dying to have!), but since she’s an Omega skin, she looks simply glorious on LAQ & other mesh heads too.  She’s the EXCLUSIVE at the Designer Showcase that opens today, April 5th, with 14 skin tones available individually for just 175L each or 800L per fatpack of light/dark tones.  I’m wearing her in Cashew with the browless option.  Shape & demos also available. 
  • Body:  Slink – Physique Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
  • Head: LAQ – Athena (Bento)
  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1
  • Freckles & Moles:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Moles & Freckles; this Skin Fair exclusive of 28 options that apply as a face tattoo, sold singly or as a fatpack, is now available in store. I’m wearing my favorite (& what seems to be permanent mainstay) #5;  Izzie’s – Heart Mole (Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Hair: Lamb. – Sunshower
  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Jewelry: Maxi Gossamer – Parisienne Love Heart Necklace & Earrings; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band

Whatever, I’m Fabulous Anyway

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Whatever, I'm Fabulous Anyway

It’s been a bit of a tough week all in all, and it’s not even over yet. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I started a new job and although it sounds really whingy, I’m just not used to getting up early every day, getting dressed, packing a lunch, and going to work. Luckily it’s an extremely short commute (only 5 minutes!) and a very flexible schedule, but still, I’m just not used to having to be anywhere day after day.  On top of that, tax forms are due for my small business, which is stressful, some medical issues are rearing their ugly head, FlickR has been IMPOSSIBLE, and it just goes on and on. Here in Second Life, deadlines have crept up on me due to my new time constraints and my still learning how to cope with them.  Bottom line, I’m feeling kind of down on myself.  Even though my oufit is awesome and I absolutely adore my new head, when I look at myself I see beyond what the mirror sees.  I need to remind myself of the message on the wall:  Whatever, I’m fabulous anyway! 😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Graffitiwear– Love Affair, includes both a gorgeous 2-piece sequin dress & a separate fur cloak.  So luxuriously sexy, with just the right amount of sparkle!  8-color HUD for the dress; 10-textures for the fur.  Sized for Tonic, Slink P/H, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya, eBody, & Classic.  At the Designer Circle 8th Anniversary Round 05/19 March 3rd – 16th.  Demo available.  See the ad below for more details.
  • Head: Tonic – Coco is the new bento head from Tonic that I’ve previewed several times.  I adore Coco because she really does offer something completely different! She has a somewhat exotic look with slightly slanted eyes, & is fully mod & Omega-ready so you can customize her to make her truly unique.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair through March 24th where Coco is on sale for a special introductory price of 50% off.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – MissPlaced is truly a one-of-a-kind skin. Unlike most 7DS skins, she’s fully made up & ready to go out on the town with bright red lipstick, eye liner, & beauty marks.  Nothing innocent about this look!  I’m wearing her in Butter Browless, but there’s a full selection of dark & light tones available in fatpacks when she takes her turn at the Whore Couture Fair 9 by Flair for Events on March 15th through the 31st.
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Hex Mules Sequin.  Includes a special HUD with 10 sequin textures for the main body of the shoes, 10 solids for the base & heels, & 5 metal tones; in sizes for Tonic, Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, eBody, & Altamura. Demo available.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Hair: D!va – Aria (Group Gift 2018)

Dream On

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Dream On

We all have dreams. What we want to be, what we want to do, how we want to live, who we want to share our lives with. And as life goes on, with all its ups and downs, those dreams change.  After all, we all have dues to pay. But even in the harsh light of reality, dreams are a necessity… they are what keep us getting up each morning, and moving through each day.  We need to have dreams in our hearts and minds… big dreams, little dreams, realistic dreams, fanciful dreams, it doesn’t matter… they’re all important in their own way.  They fuel our lives, they are the energy behind everything we do.  So yes, you need to face reality, you can’t live with your head in a dream, but that doesn’t mean that you give up on your dreams.  After all, to quote Disney (and the pillow!!), “A dream is a wish your heart makes”… so let’s all DREAM ON!!!  😉

  • Outfit:  AvaGirl – Emma, mesh top & capri pants, with a 9-texture HUD for the top & 9-textures for the capris, all with this beautifully lustrous sheen. Love the open lacing on the top!!!

Fully copy/mod, you can use as is or unlink all the pieces & use as you wish.  EXCLUSIVE for the Swank Event March 7th – 31st, after which it will become available at the store. See ad for the adult version below for more details.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Toril, worn in Butter Browless. As I’ve blogged before, I adore Toril’s dimples & light freckling that make her truly unique, though I, of course, add some more freckles!  Although based on Genus, she’s an Omega skin & will fit most mesh heads (I’m wearing her on LAQ with my own shape). Originally introduced at the recent Dubai Event, fatpacks of 7 light or dark tones, demo & shape are now all available at the store.
  • Freckles:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Moles & Freckles, which are my favorite new item being launched at the Skin Fair as an EXCLUSIVE; as a freckle/mole gal, I’ve been experimenting with the various options!

Soaking in the Green

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Soaking in the Green

Maybe it’s because in Real Life I seem to have the kiss of death when it comes to indoors plants, but in Second Life I’m always surrounding myself with green growing things. In addition to being huge on landscaping, I bring a lot of greenery into the house as well, which is why I was just thrilled to find all these plants (and the ottomans and table too!) on sale for this week’s Syndicate Sunday! It’s just so soothing and replenishing to the soul to be surrounded by green growing things while winter is still having its wicked way outside the window… I only wish I could do the same here in Real Life, but the plants just aren’t as hardy as those in SL!!!  😉

Spirit of the Dragon

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Spirit of the Dragonhttp://Spirit of the Dragon at Rest

I’m honored to say that I’m a Guardian of the Spirit of the DragonRFL, a Relay for Life group that has already earned its SILVER SHIELD, even though we just had our opening day last weekend. RFL is such an important cause, both inworld and in RL, and I’m proud to be able to do my small little part to help the effort.  This post is just the beginning… I’ve used our sim (which was graciously donated to our team by Chateau d’Alliez) for this photo shoot… it’s an absolutely stunning sim, with so much to see and do, both to help and support cancer patients and caregivers as well as to just see and appreciate.  Our first big event is tomorrow, Sunday March 3rd, when we will be opening our sim at 12P SLT with a photography exhibit in the Reflection Gallery showcasing Dusty Pedroia with the vocal stylings of Djembe Dragonfire. The opening continues at 4P SLT with a “Bring Your Kiosk” multi team event. DJ Tiggy, DJ Striker and DJ Robobobby will be spinning the tunes for us! …   Wow, my brand-new dress from Moz Designs couldn’t have been launched at a better time! It’s the exclusive for the upcoming Curves Event, which ALSO opens on March 3rd.  Big day on the grid for curvy dragons like me! 😉

  • Head: Tonic – SNEAK PREVIEW #3!  Coco the new bento head from Tonic is still in pre-release, but the March Skin Fair is getting closer! I’m besotted by these slightly slanted eyes, which are so totally perfect for this look!!!!!  The demo is at the store… go pick her up, start playing, & see how fabulous your new look can be!
  • Dress:  MOZ Designs – NEW! “Sato” Oriental Dress completely took my breath away when I first put her on!  Whether or not you choose to go for the whole Oriental look or not, Sato gives you that little exotic thrill.  But beware — each & every texture is to die for! I, of course, had to go for my signature copper color, especially in this pattern that I call Iron Butterfly, but I’ll admit that one or two others almost tempted me away! An EXCLUSIVE design for the Curves Event opening on March 3rd, at which time the landmark will be available. Original Fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, Tonic, eBody & EVE. (You can’t see it, but I’m also wearing the MOZ Tangas Thong Satin, which has colors to match ALL the textures available in the dress!)
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – PREVIEW!  Drizzle, another skin that just made me go WOW! I’m wearing her in Dew Browless, but she’s available in the full range of dark & light tones, EXCLUSIVELY at the Curves Event opening on March 3rd, at which time the landmark will be available.
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Mizu Heels are not your ordinary high heel stilettos; they have this fascinating curved heel that adds a special design touch to your feet. Includes a 40-color HUD; in sizes for Tonic, Belleza, Slink & Maitreya.
  • Location:  Spirit of the DragonRFL Our Spirits Live Forever – Double Events on MARCH 3rd … see below for details… & if you’re part of an RFL team, bring your kiosks!!!

Peering thru the Ether

http://Peering thru the Ether

All of us in Second Life know how hard it is to explain to “outsiders” how important our SL lives and relationships are.  In point of fact, most of us learn to just keep quiet and share only the barest minimum (if anything at all) about our lives on the grid. And let’s face it… Real Life does need to come first because it’s, well, real. But when it steps in and causes a long separation in SL, it’s hard. It’s been almost 3 weeks since my long-term partner has been inworld, and I can’t help but peer through the ether and wonder and wait, and count the days, trying to keep faith and believe…

  • Outfit:  Pacifica Fashion (Marketplace Only)– Ines Blue Halter & Eve Blue Skirt; both sized for Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V & Maitreya.  6 awesome options available for the halter top, priced at 99L each, or if you’re like me & find it near impossible to choose, 499L for the fatpack. EXCLUSIVE at the Designer Circle 04/19 Feb 17th – March 2nd. Demo available.

  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Solstice is truly a thing of beauty!  Available in “plain” or freckled, she’s based on Lelutka, but as an Omega skin she works on all mesh heads (though the shape may not). I’m wearing her in Freckled Pineapple with the browless option on a LAQ head, & as you can see, she’s SPECTACULAR! Available at Sense Event Feb 15th – March 8th. Demos & shape also available.
