Happy Valentine's Day!

Some people hate Valentine's Day but I like it because 1.I like pink and red 2.I like those chalky heart candy things and 3.It gives me an excuse to tell my friends I love them without sounding like a creeper.  I put together this outfit with some fun free, cheap and not free things for you today.  My tights, skin and hair are not free but they are from the Back to Black event which is really important to me.  The event is to promote awareness of mental health issues and you can find facts posted all over the venue as well as inside of purchased items.  My dress is from Cupcakes and is one of many lucky chair prizes.  Love this color!  My stockings are from Sleeping Koala and come in a version with fishnet in the open panels as well.

 I want to show a close-up of the contents of the cute little Valentine's gift from Deviant Girls.  Normally I don't like anything with a brand name on it but "Deviant Girls" is such a cool name I like this anyway. My lipstick kiss is a subscriber gift from Izzie's.  It comes in a few shades of pink and red to match your look.  My little mouth heart candy is from RezIpsa Loc and is only 5L per try in the gacha at the Love is in the Air event at the Cupcakes sim.  My hair is from Mina at Back to Black and comes with the matching hair bases as well.

My boots are not free or from Back to Black, lol, but they are a new release from A-Bomb and I adore this store so you get to see them anyway. :P

Finally, I want to say happy Valentine's day to everyone.  I firmly believe we have some of the best people as our readers and I adore you all!  We should all celebrate Valentine's day by spoiling ourselves with yummy treats in RL as well as SL!  Om nom nom.  You can grab this berries and cream set (with rez and wear options as well as a cute cookie I haven't shown) on the lucky board at Circa.  Live it up!

Join the Adam n Eve Sachi Vixen Update Group for only 10 L and get this stunning skin as a group gift.  The skin WAS sent to current subscriber members but it is not redeliverable.  If you missed it or are trying anew, the 10 L fee is a pittance for something this lovely.  I've seen a lot of heart-lippy skins and I can hands-down say this is the best I've seen and I am very fussy.  The hair is a group gift from Red Mint and I've barely taken it off since I got it.  I had to join the Blacklace group for 99 L and get the sexy pink dress because it was just so matchy!

On a serious note, Chic Management is returning to it's roots with the Back to Black event that begins Saturday, February 11th through February 29th.  The event focuses on Mental Health awareness and you can find information regarding participating brands and location at the Chic Mgt site.  Mental illness and other neurological disorders affect millions yet stigma continues to cause tremendous damage, not only through shame and silence, but keeps people from seeking or continuing treatment as well as face discrimination.  I'm not ready to come out on all feeds about my own personal and professional experiences with mental illness but the impact is real.  Good medicine includes awareness.
