Lovin' Love

Left to Right

Love: Blush(Gacha), Love: Hustle(Hair Fair Gift), Love: Forget Me Not(Hair Fair Gift)

The great thing about hair fair, is no matter how long you have been in sl, there is always some new to you store that pops up. It's like a magical journey, with new treasures to discover at every turn.

This year my new find was the store Love. It's a relatively new store, but they already have some impressive events they have participated in on their belt.

When doing the gift roundup, Love hadn't had their gift out yet, so I decided to do this little feature, to let you know about their Hair Fair gift. There is 3 separate hairs in the pack, each with it's own hud, so you can sort of test some of what the store has to offer, texture wise. I am only showing 2 of the styles, the 3rd didn't really suit my avatar very well, I have a super huge head, so I find sometimes styles that are rigged closer to the scalp just does not work well for me.

Love has 3 charity hairs at Hair Fair too, I this the one with the mini buns is super cute.

I also checked out the mainstore, which is undergoing some changes right now. In the front of the shop you will find a few gachas. The Blush hairstyle is from one of those. I LOVE big hair, so was really happy to see this style. I know I am going to come up with all sorts of interesting outfits for it.

You can visit the Love Hair Fair Booth HERE and the Love Mainstore HERE.

Happy Belated Birthday Seraphim - New Inworld Seraphim Hud

.

Seraphim just marked it's 5th Anniversary, yesterday, and with that, it is a dawn of a new era in Event Coverage. Seraphim has create an inworld hud, which brings the experience of the useful site that much closer to your finger tips.

Seraphim Official Site - Not sure what Seraphim is? Check it out!

Seraphim Hud - FAQ

.

So how will this little hud change your life? Well if you are into the event hopping, this is a good way to start. Seraphim does not cover everything that happens in sl, but it does cover a good number of it. You might learn about new events, or missed ones, with this hud, as it is much quicker to scroll a little list. I already found a few I forgot about, and I am on the Seraphim site often.

I am not going to go into every detail of this, there are all the informational pages linked above, it also comes with inworld instructions. There is even a video created to help you get on your way to using the hud, which you can find HERE and see Strawberry's Review and Video HERE.

What I will say is that I look forward to using some of the features of this hud. I am forever forgetting when events open, so having a super quick source for that, as a blogger, will be lovely. I like the idea of the favorites feature. The Auto Tper, while I do own one, will be handy, cause I always forget what the one I own is called. I will probably use it to check things I have missed, I miss a lot, as some weeks I have a lot going on with my own store.

.

Seraphim also had a big celebration, with all sorts of DJs and designers gifts. Some of the Designers are being generous, and have placed the gifts out at their mainstores. You can view the offerings HERE, keep in mind, I have no clue who is opting to put things out, so some things might not be available.

Nova Blaster

 Another spring season of the Twisted Hunt has started, with lots of goodies for you ladies, guys and Petites out there.

The theme this time around is The Odyssey, and the items are as interesting as always.

This dress is the gift you will find at Enchantment. Those cubes can be tricky, so keep a good eye out to get your hunt prize!

The awesome blaster you will find at Multiverse. It's made by Kitty's Claws, and is a gacha item. There are all sorts to collect, and it is super fun watching the laser beams fly all over the place.

I love the Alien Goo one!

Atomic has this skin at the current round of The Arcade. I was so happy to find out that there was a default skin gacha in this round. As much fun as my mesh heads are, I still like my own face, I have been staring at it for too many years, being a creator and a blogger.

Struggle

Under the waves,

so smooth and calm,

a savage struggle remains,

of things below.

Not everything behaves,

pent up like a time bomb.

Throw off your chains,

face the foe .

I do enjoy me some underwater adventuring. I miss the times when there was a big sl mermaid community on Ning. I use to post something on there daily, it was probably the most active community I was ever in, in second life. I wasn't even a mermaid all that often, haha. When Ning decided to make their forums features paid for, the SL Mermaid Ning sadly died.

I still collect items, and dress up as a mercreature from time to time. They have to be one of my favorite collections of legendary creatures. Not the pretty fluffy ones either, but the ones that will more than likely start eating you, before you even finish drowning.

So I bring you a bit of fantasy this friday, come, play under the waves!

JoJ and MENstuff Hunts - Part 3

February is a wonderful month for the guys. There is not only one, but two hunts with many items for the men of the grid to enjoy.

.

Jack or Jill hunt is a hunt with split paths, one path with a series of designers dedicating items to the women, and one path with the same, but for the men.

.

MENstuff Hunt is a Guy only hunt, tho many ladies do do it as well, to nab accessories and hairs.

Both are on until the end of the month.

Poisoned Hunger

ZOMG I have my blogging files back! I am still waiting on most of my data(mostly store related stuff that doesn't impact you at all), but was able to get these. I feel at home again.

I'm also hella cute today.

Sn@tch is having a wee bit of a pre-valentines sale. The store is 50-70% off(not including new releases). There are also additional items, with special tags, that are even more of a discount. I grabbed these mesh capris for only L$50 for the fatpack, which are what inspired the whole outfit today.

Plastik is always in all the things, I swear. While not free, they have made these super cute purses and clutches. I am not one to normally wear this sort of thing, simply for the fact I normally tread more on the dark fantasy side of fashion, but I really enjoyed playing with mine today. I think the reason I have been enjoying the label so much over the past year, is because of the huds that come with most items. I am a colour whore, I like having ALL THE COLOURS. So being able to play with all the bits and bobs really tickles my fancy.
