Hiya everyone! It has been a busy morning already, zipping around the grid claiming so many terrific Advent gifts. I have a special folder for all the landmarks and I marked the ones that I need to change to the group tag to collect their gift, trying to stay organized. I love seeing the decorations at each place, and I hope all of you enjoy any places you're visiting along with the generous gifts :)
First we have a very sexy lingerie set from Emerald Couture, called O My Chel in Hot Pink and Black. It includes the system layers for bra and panties, plus appliers for Belleza, Omega and Maitreya, along with the mesh lacy robe and matching Slink high shoes. Look at that cute heart in the base of the shoes! My tattoo is also an Advent calendar gift, this one from Kamiri, and is their Vines Flower tattoo with the system layer shown and a TMP installer plus a MEGA HUD with plenty of applier options. For Kamiri's Advent calendar you will need that free group tag.
This beauty is today's Advent calendar gift from Purple Candy, their Louper in Blue dress. No group needed, just find the right number decorating the tree inside the main building. You will receive this dress in standard mesh sizes, along with a second outfit that will be a surprise to you since it's not shown :)
This sexy number is today's gift from *SOIR* and is called Se'Var White. It is a bit different than most mesh clothing, as there is no alpha included and it just comes in a few specific sizes: basic body as shown, Maitreya, Slink, and TMP versions. The snowflake layers on each shoulder are so pretty, and I love the delicate frosted pattern.
Loordes of London has a wonderful treat for us today, as there were a couple of days the owner was unable to get online so now we can claim 3 gifts at once. They are counting backwards, so today it is #20, 19 and 18, and you do need to join the group but it is currently free. The dress from #20 is called Tunikamekko, such a lovely deep color and the attached belt is delightful too. Standard mesh sizes are provided. Gift #18 is the Helix earrings, couldn't resist showing you a closer look of the beautifully crafted gemstone beads and the fun style. Gift #19, not shown, is a pretty mesh skirt, so don't hesitate! You need these gifts!
One last look for the day, this is the female gift from the Bees Heaven Advent calendar board and is called "Kitties" because of the seasonal trio on the sweater. This is actually a single mesh piece, which can certainly make things easier, in several sizes so you can find the best fit. No group is needed for this lovely gift.
Today we have a nail note along with skin and eyes...the nails are day 7 from Hello Dave, a daily gift for their group members which is free to join. My skin is actually a gift from WoW Skins for the KittyCatS calendar, and is their new skin design for 2016 in their updated shade of tan. It is darker than the previous tan I usually wear, and I noticed subtle differences in the face and body shadowing as well. The gift includes a version with or without cleavage, and I used the Omega appliers from their group gift for the month (NOT free to join) as none are included with the Advent version. My eyes are yet another terrific Advent calendar gift from Inkheart, this set being their Spring Eyes in Goldish. These charmers, as with their other gifts so far, come in system and mesh versions in 3 sizes each.
It is time for this happy but tired blogger to get some rest, I know Mondays aren't always the easiest but I try to look at it as the beginning of a brand new week full of possibilities. Embrace the good, it's there somewhere :) Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I have definitely been enjoying my mornings of hopping around from sim to sim, finding lots of Advent calendar goodies to share with you. It is remarkable how many generous designers out there are willing to undertake such a task, offering 12 or 24 different free gifts to either their group members or simply anyone who visits! Here is just a small assortment of the many treasures available today.
This is a terrific color for auburn haired ladies such as myself, but honestly it would flatter just about all of us. This is today's gift from Bee's Heaven, it is named Britt and comes in the usual mesh sizes. They were having a glitch yesterday morning and their board wasn't' clickable, so I was extra excited to see that it was back up and running AND giving us this beauty. There is a men's gift in there also, so that is more good news too. No group needed, just visit and click.
This is another great option for when you're feeling like being a bit more dressed up during all the fun and festivities of the season. This gift from {Acios} is extra special because they are part of a trio of stores who have set up a winter wonderland skybox where they have each hidden a gift for each day, so today you will find a Day 3 from Acios, a Day 3 gift from Sweet Revolutions, and a Day 3 gift from Independent Objects. You will need a free group tag, but surely three gifts a day are well worth a single group slot :) This dress by the way appears to be a previous hunt gift based on the name, and comes with a HUD for 4 texture changes, all nearly black like above.
Another dress and some additional goodies, we start with the Emerald Couture gift of their Emerald Elegance Gown. There are system layers for the top and bottom, along with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega, along with the mesh skirt panel in several sizes. The pretty matching shoes are even included! The wall decor next to me is an Advent Calendar gift from Mariposa, called Peaceful Starry Night, and the three largest stars twinkle between white and yellow. You do need a group tag for this, and it is free to join. In the insets you can see the eyes and nails I am wearing in all these photos today, the nails being the Day 3 gift from Hello Dave (free group tag required) and the eyes are from *Inkheart* and called Hope Eyes in Intense Blue. I wholeheartedly agree with the name choice :) Inkheart also needs a free group tag to claim their daily gifts.
For a sexy lil something to get the attention of whomever you'd like to meet under some mistletoe, I highly recommend heading to *SOIR* and claiming today's gift. Their mesh corset dress comes with a HUD to change the trim color, they're labeled 1 and 2 but as you can see they are a matching red or a contrasting white. No group needed, just visit and click the right day.
One last treat for the day, my avatar is definitely ready to obey this shirt because you just never know what danger the Doctor could get you into otherwise! This is today's Advent gift from Eclectic Stars, their mesh Comfy Shirt - Run. Standard sizes included, so you can get the perfect fit for your next Doctor Who party or just spending time with friends.
If I had unlimited time I could show you countless more, clothing and holiday decorations and accessories and just anything imaginable. My best suggestion is to check blogs like FabFree who were kind enough to compile a list of all the Advent calendars they know about and are updating it regularly. Meanwhile I will continue to share as many as I can, but I also have a few hunts that just started so I will have goodies from those to show you as well. Things are certainly hectic here, but I am doing my best to keep things fun and interesting for all of you to enjoy. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! I am making a change in my blogging schedule to give everyone more time to visit everywhere for Advent calendars before they change at night. I hope it works out well :) I have always enjoyed popping around the grid and claiming all the exciting, generous gifts everyday. Some stores offer a full calendar from December 1st to the 24th, while others do a traditional 12 days of Christmas from the 13th to the 24th. Since some started at Midnight SLT, I do have some goodies to share so let's get to it!
This first photo has several different Advent gifts, so let's start with the dress. This is "Amira" from Bees Heaven, and comes in standard mesh sizes with a very long slit down each side. No group needed, just visit and click the correct day. Next in the inset, we have a look at Hello Dave's first gift from their first Advent calendar, free with the group tag. They will be offering a different design each day instead of doing the weekly HUDs, so fun! You might notice I look a bit more flushed than usual, well my bright rosy cheeks are an Advent gift from Dulce Secrets (no group needed), their system layer Cherry Cute Blush. It goes well with the beautiful eyes from Inkheart. They are called Hades Eyes in Breeze, and come in system layers or mesh each in three sizes. For this one you will need to join their free group. Advent is why I finally went Premium, LOL, knew I'd need all these extra group slots for blogging :)
Not only am I giving you a closer look at the Inkheart eyes from the previous photo, I have another Advent gift to share too. The bottom half of this image, I am wearing Amacci mesh eyes in Stargazer, Blue on the left eye and Green on the right eye. These are also in system versions, but in order to show different colors I am wearing the mesh, and they even included a short hair that fades from black to platinum in male and female sizes. This gift is from the KittyCatS Advent Calendar, a wonderful tradition that will provide gifts from a large variety of designers throughout SL and usually culminates in a pet version (no food required) of their precious cats. Note I was wearing the blush from the previous photo in the top half but not the bottom here, quite a difference!
Yay, nails!! Ahem...okay I'll try to compose myself but I do love manicures and these seasonal ones are lovely. This is our Advent gift from Entice, and while it is Day 1 the name of the HUD itself is Christmas Nails Set 2. This HUD is so versatile, 3 designs in each color red and green, and a row for each Maitreya, Slink, Omega and Belleza. You will need to be a member of their free group, and pay $1L that is immediately reimbursed to claim this terrific gift.
I am wrapping up (no Christmas pun intended but if it works...) this post with another nail HUD, this time from Perfect Seduction. This is their PS! Two Tone Nails, and comes in Slink and Omega HUDs. No group needed, just a quick click.
I am still trying to find out about as many Advent calendars as possible, and a good resourse is this site that will be updated as they receive more information. Even if you aren't particularly in a holiday spirit just yet, think how cheerful you will feel visiting some stores and seeing some really impressive decorations in many of them, and receiving so many thoughtful gifts :) I hope you all have a great day, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! I hope your Monday was a decent one, and that you are ready to take a virtual vacation through the wilds of the African Summer Hunt :) I have some amazing prizes to share with you, so let's get to it!
Every great outfit deserves great accessories, so I have paired up two different prizes here with terrific results. The skirt and top are our prize from #11 Kitty Shape Wears, and each come in standard mesh sizes. The skirt has some fantastic details like the belt and chains. The necklace and sunglasses are both part of the prize from Never Ever, who have generously provided both sunglasses and necklace each for men and women with different styling for each.
The prize from Kitties Petite Dreams is a classic style dress with system layers and flexi skirt, but while I was putting it on I couldn't help but notice even though they don't reference it at all, that the outfit without the skirt actually makes a very cute bathing suit! So I decided to show you both possibilities. This is prize #21 in the hunt.
I love this fun and cheerful tunic from #17 Bees Heaven, with its pretty layered look and the cute giraffes image on it. Also in their prize is a matching v-neck tee for the men, since they certainly deserve gifts too. I added the prize from Redrose Jewellry #08, which includes the necklace, earrings, and bracelet you see here. There is also a men's necklace, not shown, so the guys can enjoy this one as well.
Our last look of the evening is this vibrant dress from Get Frocked, who are #19 in this hunt. The colors are so striking, and then to turn around and see that fun cutout in the back really made me smile! The mesh is very shapely, and comes in standard sizes. I definitely look ready to ride off into the sunset to a fun party.
Nail note of the night: I am showing again one of the two prize HUDs from the $1L Around The Grid Hunt from La Boheme, this one being called [LB TigerTips]. That single linden gets you these pretty nails in various French manicure base shades with the tiger print at the tips, along with the [LB RegalPeacock] design in 10 colors which I've blogged before as well. The subtle animal print of this one seems to work well with all the outfits tonight :)
Well, time to give yourself an "I survived Monday!" pat on the back, and find yourself a treat in SL to make yourself smile, whether it's a free treasure or a bit of a splurge. You deserve it! Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
