Striving for a Rosy Outlook

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Striving for a Rosy Outlook

Sometimes it’s hard to keep a rosy outlook when life starts having different ideas. I’m not talking about the big things, but all those little and middling things that add up to just make things, well, not so rosy.  The thing I’ve learned is just to hang on, keep swinging, cuddle a cat (or a dog or what have you), and things will start to look rosier… especially if you put on something new, and make yourself look GREAT!  How can the day not follow suit?  😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Moonstar – Rosy Glow Dress, Accessories & Boots.  This relatively simple little dress packs a whole lot of surprises that add up to one big wow.  First, it just fits amazingly well; something about the cut perhaps, but personally, I thought it looked more amazing than in the ad picture.  Second it has awesome straps… the little cross-chest one adds interest, & then the back is lo-cut with several criss-crossed straps for a whole ton of sex appeal. Includes a 6-color HUD for the dress alone (see the ad below); accessories are the rose circlet, choker, bracelet, & a brief red modesty butterfly.  Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, eBody, & Altamura.  Available for 50% OFF — just $90L! — at TheEvent for March, so only a few days! 
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – MissPlaced has taken her place in my private collection of “personal skins”, those that I love above & beyond the norm & will continue to pull out & wear long after they’re a featured product.  She has such a unique look, with bright red lipstick, eye liner, & beauty marks that is sometimes the perfect complement to an outfit (like this one).  I’m wearing her in Butter Browless, but there’s a full selection of dark & light tones available in fatpacks at the Whore Couture Fair 9 by Flair for Events until March 31st.
  • Head: Tonic – Coco is one of the two new bento heads from Tonic (I’ve been bouncing back & forth between them, depending on the look I want).  Coco has a somewhat exotic look with slightly slanted eyes, & is fully mod & Omega-ready so you can easily customize her to make her truly unique.  If you missed her debut at the Skin Fair, don’t despair! She’s now at the main store. Demo available so you can experiment away!
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Hair:  no.match – NO_NOTHING
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Jewelry:  Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band

The scene:

  • Cara’s Poses– Swing into Spring Pose Set is another awesome joint project between & Cara’s Poses & ELLAs Designs.  In addition to the leaf-entwined wood swing, it includes 6 different bento poses with mirrors (see the ad below). Available at the Boardwalk Event, March 15th – April 15th.
  • LOVE Homes and Garden – Fairy Ferns (Natural), includes 12 different options of ferns, some with Orb Emitter options (I’m using two simultaneously, one dark & one light) plus optional Little Lights in 4 different tints. Available at the Boardwalk Event, March 15th – April 15th.

Sun, sand, & sea… IRRESISTIBLE

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Sun, sand & sea... IRRESISTIBLE

As someone born and bred in the big city who in RL currently lives in the ‘burbs, I’ve always wanted to live in the woodlands and/or on the ocean. I’ve had a home (or should I say “homes” since I move a lot lol) in the woodlands here in SL for years; but I’ve still longed for the ocean and the ability to go boating on open water. When my premium membership just renewed, I realized that I had a 512 allotment of free tier that I wasn’t taking advantage of (I have a Linden home for a family member that uses the other 512) and I decided to do something about it.  Bottom line, if you’re willing to put in the time and effort — and I’m talking HOURS of time, going through listings and teleporting around and checking out listings — it’s possible to find some really good deals out there for not a ton of lindens.  So as a special gift to myself for taking a job in real life, I spent the equivalent of what I felt was a very reasonable $8 to get a teeny spot in the ocean with only 175 prims but absolutely NO ADDED TIER.  Frankly, I could have done even better… the lot next to mine was 500L less but no objects (mine included all objects, which supposedly included a boat but it didn’t transfer ownership)… I returned or tossed everything, but having never done this before, I found them a useful guide for building an island with space for a boat. To me, that was worth $2!!!  I just found the entire thing totally irresistible!!! Sun, sand, & sea WITH NO ADDED TIER?  A no-brainer.  I spent part of the weekend setting up, and I’m all settled in to my little hideaway… though I’ll admit to lusting after that little piece of ocean next to mine and what that extra space and extra prims would mean to an addictive landscaper/decorator like myself.  Next on the list is Boat Shopping, so don’t be surprised when you start seeing blogs with lots of boat shots!!!!   Now to rest, relax, and enjoy my little stretch of sand!!!!  😉

  • Outfit:  Wang – Suelen Skirt Denim & Top. Just because you’re lounging around in totally casual clothes doesn’t mean you can’t look awesome, which is exactly how you look in this adorably sexy little outfit. The sleeveless crop denim top is only closed by one button; the tiny denim skirt is, well, tiny.  Includes a 10-color HUD for the top; a 9-color HUD for the skirt. At the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Viscana Seahorse Anklet.  How cute is this when lounging on the beach or just dreaming about it? Includes a special HUD with 20 textures for the strings, 5 metal tones for the seahorse; in sizes for Belleza, Slink, & Maitreya. See ad below for a closeup of the dangling seahorse. Demo available.

  • Head: LAQ – Athena (Bento)
  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1

Working Girl

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Working Girl

Now that I’m a working girl in Real Life once again, it really feels like I have two jobs. It’s a good thing that I love blogging so much, because a blogger’s job is never done!  I’d also have to admit that this office set is MUCH neater than my own home office ever looks (I’m SOOOOOOOO much messier lol, with papers everywhere!!!), but I absolutely love that Ceja now has her own working space for doing her blogging… it just seems appropriate! I’ve added a few personal touches to the office — as every girl does to every office everywhere — but what I’m thinking it really needs is one of my cats, sleeping on the desk!  Maybe next time lol… Now, back to work!!!  😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Sweatshirt:  Ashmoot – Long Hoody, unzipped just perfectly to where it’s a lo-cut top that can be worn with nothing underneath.  With thick ribbing at the bottom edge, the length is perfect too, just under the butt, which gives lots of choices for how to wear — barelegged or with stockings, leggings, pants, a skirt, whatever.  I love the way the inside fabric shows in the hood & around the neck, & the way the sleeves are pushed up. The hanging pull strings are in also in fabulous detail. I’ve never worn Ashmoot before, & I have to say, I’m impressed! Three color options available, sized for Slink P/H, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya, & Werwolf.  (As a note to the Tonic Curvy gals, I’m wearing the Hourglass size, & it fits PERFECTLY!)  EXCLUSIVE item at the promo price of 99L at the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  Demo available.  
  • Boots:  Ashmoot – Stivaletti, also available in three color options, 129L each. Sized for Slink, Belleza, & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  Demo available.  
  • Glasses:  Ashmoot – Round Sunglasses, gold & black with side lenses too, which look really cool. Most notably, they can be worn regularly on your face or on top of your head, which is an option that I really love!; 129L.  At the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  
  • Hair:  Firelight!! – Candie, includes a multi-shade texture HUD where you choose to apply a Rich/Full Effect or a Wispy Effect, plus a Tinting Color Wheel for lots of individual color options. Perfect for hair nuts like me!  At the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  Demo available.
  • Head:  Tonic – Abbi (Bento)
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8

The scene:

  • Office Set:  Blossom Mesh Project [BMS] – OA Desk Set, available in green & orange, this absolutely perfect office set, which to me screams “home office” includes the L-shaped desk with CPU & monitor, chair, & then — as separate units so that you can position everything as you want — the keyboard, mouse, folder stand, two stacks of folders, & side cabinet.  The chair includes animations (which of course I’m using!), & the monitor turns on & off (which I didn’t realize until I accidentally clicked on it lol).  Available at the Boardwalk Event, March 15th – April 15th.

Come sail away

Posted on by cejalaval

http://The Sea Dreamhttp://Come Sail Away

Do you ever fantasize about just getting on a boat or a raft and sailing away from it all? I know I’ve blogged about that before, and this raft certainly isn’t built for a lifetime escape, but for a short respite from your troubles, it’s PERFECT!  Named the “Sea Dream”, to my mind she conjures up images of drifting and bobbing softly on the waves, while lounging comfortably on the pillows and blanket.  There’s a tray of goodies nearby, complete with drinks, cupcakes and a book (I ALWAYS have a book nearby), and even a string of fish hanging above.  But the Sea Dream is also built for romance… it’s drinks and cupcakes for two, and lots of couples animations, so even though I’m currently adrift by my lonesome, I definitely made sure I look my nautical best!!!  Which definitely leaves only one question… who wants to come sail away with me?  😉

  • Bikini:  MOZ Designs – “Le Cage” Fantasy Tankini is the star in my bathing suit wardrobe.  With a totally unique design,  this is not your standard thong bikini — it has a truly unique style. Available in a whole range of stunning patterns, in original Fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, Tonic, eBody & EVE.
  • Tattoo: Juna Artistic Tattoo – Rui Tattoo, turns you into a work of art from the back! Includes three shade options (dark, medium & light) with appliers for Altamura, Belleza, Eve, Maitreya, Omega & Classic. On sale for 140L — that’s 25% OFF! —  at the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.
  • Raft:   Tm Creation – “Sea Dream” Raft with Decors, Single & Couple animations is perfect for floating your cares away, alone or with a special someone.  Includes  blanket, pillow & decors — including a separate tray of such absolute necessities as drinks, cupcakes & a book! — all in 100% Original Mesh.  Includes a ton of animations & sequences (bento too!), & is available in both PG & Adult versions. Fully copy/mod, you can use as is or unlink all the pieces & use as you wish.  EXCLUSIVE for Tres Chic Event at a 10% discount March 17th – April 10th.

Part Deux

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Easy Rider, part Deuxhttp://Abbi, part Deux

Sometimes as good as you think Part One is, you need (or want) a remake.  Maybe it’s just a tweak here and there; or maybe it’s a complete do-over. Whichever end of the spectrum it is, or wherever it may fall inbetween, one of the many beauties of Second Life is that you always have the ability to easily remake yourself and your surroundings, or even your entire life.  As a blogger, I’m constantly changing my hair and my skin; I have two bodies and multiple heads (wow, sounds monstrous in a sentence lol). But generally speaking, once my shape is set for a head or a body, that’s it… a tiny tweak here or there, but an overhaul? Never… until now.  Admittedly my Abbi head was very new… I had just fallen in love with her and gotten her where I wanted her when I was swept off my feet by the next Tonic head… but now that I went back, I found that I wasn’t quite as happy as I had thought lol. So here she is, Abbi Part Deux… I’m re-smitten, ready to take on the world!  Maybe by motorcycle???  Who knows… anything is possible!  😉

  • Outfit:  S&B Fashion – Flirty Cowl Top w/ Jeans, includes the high heels too!  The jeans are skinny & cuffed, but what makes this outfit is the top… it just so different! The front is high & then the bottom kind of loops around to the back, up to a tie, leaving the sides & back open (I tried to show it in the picture since it’s so hard to describe)… so sexy without being too overt.  Sized for Tonic (top only), Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, TMP, & Classic. EXCLUSIVE available at the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.
  • Head: Tonic – Abbi is one of two new bento heads that Tonic has recently introduced. I just went back to Abbi & created a whole new shape for her, so I’m deep in the midst of an identity crisis lol! But I’m just loving this look… to me, she’s not what I consider a classic beauty.  If I had to put it into words, I’d say she’s more striking than beautiful, with a very unique & individual appearance, & I really REALLY like that in a world full of beautiful people.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Rory, worn in Cashew Browless, does I’m sure, have something to do with how much I’m loving Abbi right now.  I’m wearing Rory Browless TOTALLY CLEAN,  straight out of the box except for adding freckles (shown below) & my own brows, because I just feel naked without them lol.  Rory is the new EXCLUSIVE available at the Sense Event, March 15th – April 8th; fatpack, demos & shape are all available.  To see a range of browless skin tones AS IS (not even with my freckles!!!), see below.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Hair:  Navy & Copper – Sundae
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Jewelry:  EarthStones – Sentiments Necklace, Loved; Kunglers – Milena Earrings, Quartz; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band

A Breath of Fresh Air

Posted on by cejalaval

http://A Breath of Fresh Air

I love Second Life, which is a good thing, because I certainly spend enough time both inworld and in RL working on things related to it.  But sometimes it seems that certain things are just repeated, done over and over.  And yet, when something different comes along, it’s not always immediately welcome.  These pants are a perfect example… Because it seems like almost every pair of pants I own here in Second Life is lo-cut — sometimes to the extreme! — my initial reaction when I saw these high-waisted pants was admittedly one of hesitation.  But thankfully, I decided to try them on, and all I have to say is boy, was I ever wrong!  WOW!!! If I may so myself, these pants make my curves — especially my butt (which is already enhanced with Tonic’s booty control) — look absolutely AMAZING!!!  And although I’m sure they look equally good with a full-length top, I simply love the combination of the high waist with a short cropped sweater like this wonderful little off-shoulder find… What a refreshing difference!!!!  And yes, there’s been lots of exclamation points in this post lol… but I think it deserves every single one!  And to celebrate, even though it’s getting colder outside again after a 2-day reprieve, it’s definitely time to tiptoe through the SL tulips and welcome those initial signs of spring!!! 😉

  • Head: Tonic – Coco is the new bento head from Tonic that I’ve been blogging about for weeks.  I adore Coco because I finally have my slightly slanted eyes that I’ve wanted since day one, & being fully mod & Omega-ready I’ve been able to customize her to make her truly individual.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair through March 24th where Coco is on sale for a special introductory price of 50% off.  If you haven’t picked up your demo yet to see what kind of unique look you can create for yourself, you really are missing out.
  • Pants:  MOZ Designs – High Waist Flair Hem Pants, with a fit & style that is absolutely unbelievable. Whatever shape you’ve got, it looks incredible in these pants! Recently updated to include more mesh bodies, these pants are now Original Fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, Tonic, eBody & EVE, in this wonderful linen texture (this particular color has a subtle stripe in its weave, just gorgeous!). Available in a variety of single colors or a Superpack.
  • Top:  lovelysweet Boutique – Mia Sweater; this comfy-looking, subtly sexy off-shoulder crop sweater comes with a halter top that you can wear separately or in combination. Includes a 6-color HUD for the sweater, 5-colors for the halter. A WLTB Designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Cassidy, worn in Cashew Browless.  Based on LAQ, Cassidy is a brand-new stunner of an Omega skin.  She’s so stunning, all I’ve added are my freckles! Fatpacks of dark & light tones are available EXCLUSIVELY at eBento March 10th – 31st.  Demos & shape are also available.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Hair:  eXxEsS – Palma

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

Something

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Something

Sometimes it’s really hard to put a feeling, a thought, into words. It’s why the Beatles’ lyrics to Something In The Way are, to me at least, among the most beautiful and memorable ever written.  And it also applies in a completely different way to design… you know you love it, you find it irresistible, but you can’t necessarily put your finger quite on the reason why.  It’s just something, or maybe it’s just the way a lot of somethings add up together.  It doesn’t really matter, but THIS something is gorgeous, and makes me feel that way too… Grab a demo and see if it does the same for you! 😉

  • Outfit:  YOU by GeMyles – Theresa Lace & Boots. Now that I have my Slink body, YOU is rapidly becoming one of my favorite lines for sexy little dresses with incredible footwear. Admittedly, some of the fully sheer textures are a bit too revealing for me, but oh, when there’s an outfit like Theresa, I can’t wait to wear her! There’s just something in the total design… the slightly-revealing-but-not-too-much lace texture with the satin tie at the waist, the  matching little crotch pantie, the stiletto black boots with the matching laces, even the 32-color HUD that really made it hard to choose a color to wear!  Sized for Slink P/H, Belleza V/I/F, eBody Curvy, Maitreya & Classic.  At the Designer Circle 8th Anniversary Round 05/19 March 3rd – 16th.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Maaike is another flawless stunner from 7DS, with soft shading around the eyes & just the perfect amount of blush on the cheeks. She’s so fresh & beautiful, I added absolutely except freckles (see below), because I just feel naked without them!  Today I’m wearing her in Cashew Browless, but the full range of dark & light tones is available at the Skin Fair March 8th – 24th.
  • Freckles:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Moles & Freckles, which I’m blogging every day because I’m wearing them every day!  They definitely are my favorite new item being launched at the Skin Fair as an EXCLUSIVE! Sold per item & in a fatpack box, they apply as a face tattoo. I’m continuing to include the poster below so you can see the full range of what’s in the box. Today, I’m wearing Moles #5 (see the chart below) though I did add my old signature heart mole as well. The Skin Fair is open March 8th – 24th.  Also wearing:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Body:  Slink – Physique Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet

  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1
  • Hair:  Magika – Fool for Love

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!!! Sized for Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, TMP & Classic (S/M/L). Available for 50% OFF at TheEvent for March! 
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Lory Heels.  Includes a 40-texture HUD that lets you set a main color for the shoes & another for the trim; in sizes for Tonic, Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, eBody, & Altamura. Demo available.  Available for 50% OFF at TheEvent for March! 
  • Rug: Tm Creation – “A Dream” Area Rug with Decors, Single & Couple animations is perfect for use indoors or out.  Includes pillows, blanket, Kissing Cats, & floral groundcover in 100% Original Mesh.  Includes a ton of animations & sequences (bento too!), & is available in both PG & Adult versions. 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.

I started a new job this week. It’s part-time, EXACTLY what I was looking for (yay!), and just 5 minutes from my house.  It’s almost as if my job wish came true, it’s such a match to my checklist of what I wanted. This week I only did a fraction of what will be my normal hours, but after not working outside my home for several years, wow, the weekend feels wonderful! I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m living for the weekend (been there, done that, thank you very much!), but I will admit that today all I want to do is lie around and daydream.  Unfortunately, this girl this has lots of blogging to work on… not to mention taxes to prepare on my OTHER business… SOOOO happy we don’t have to prepare taxes in Second Life lol!!!!  Well, enough chatter… I’m just going back to daydreaming now, all about all the wonderful things in both lives!  😉
