Valentine is for me

It's almost the middle of February and love is in the air, but not for everyone.... still.... when you can love yourself, you are blessed already. Frankly, that is how it should start. Love yourself and love will come to you in return. Maybe not romantic love, but love is still love. So go be happy for yourself!

I realise I have not written anything on my blog for a while. But! I have been busy spending:)

I have started collecting 3D backgrounds from weekend sales and this is from Synnergy.Tavis Sweetie Bakery. Pups are from Fashiowl and the flower, tea and pose are from [lilp]. The pink heart leaves are free from Botanical at the Valentine Shop&Hop.

This is from Blaink.- VHS Rentals. The 3D people are from various stores.

This is from Synnergy.Tavis Ocean City Boardwalk and the pups are from *Hextraordinary* and Teeglepet. I cannot remember what pose I use. I have too many!

Same day picture with background from Blaink. -Records and that is one of my 3D sitting guy behind there. 

And recently on a cool, foggy morning, that's my Miss Bella Valentine. Heart on her nose and eyes! Only in SL:)

And finally, Moon and the furbabies as painted by AI. Dalmation pups are from Jian. Paint my strawberry kittycat has been turned into a ginger kitty which is just perfectly adorable! I love ginger cats and she looks so much like my rl cat too!!

To the dance

 

This is my interpretation of classy casual. Moon is wearing an old dress by Ison and last year's hair release by Truth. Then we were off to Calas for live music and dancing.

Last week I was planning on going to a formal live music event. This is gown from Pare I bought during the weekend sale. The hair is from Doux. The flamingos are from Simple Shelby.

Here is how Moon looks in modern Renaissance chatgpt prompt. Incredible picture!

And, here is Moon looking real with a parrot on her shoulder added by chatgpt. A pirate in secret! I love playing around with chatGpt images.

My favorites from Hair Fair 2014 part1

Yesterday I went on a hair spree at the Hair Fair. There were so many choices, it was really hard to keep a tight hold on my budget. I also had to remind myself that there is a bigger purpose to this event than just shopping.

Can't break what's already broken

The title has nothing to do with the post. It's just something I always think about.

For Moon's 5th rez day which is coming soon, I bought for her a set of Slink hand and feet. I had a difficult time matching the skin colour until it occured to me to get the Anais SLink Appliers. Duh! I know. Then I went and bought the 2 shoes I had been eyeing at last year's Shoetopia.
Then the feet sank! But I edited the hover slider in appearance up by 2 and all was good.

Moon is also wearing JJ's Engraved Ring with Gems(Slink addon) with metal and gems changing hud. I chose ruby red because that is my birthstone, circled with tiny black diamonds on gold ring.

Apple pie and cream puffs

It's been a long time since I've made a trip to Cafe Marche by Poche. I saw that they were participating in the Kawaii Mini hunt and I remembered how yummy-looking and scrumptious and colourful their food were so I went there today. The picture above is the yummious looking strawberry cream puff ever! Makes my mouth water and my tummy growl just to stare at it.

And then there are apple-pie and pancakes. Can you imagine the smell of apple and cinnamon and syrup?Are you guys drooling already?
