eBody Reborn Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're visiting the eBody Reborn event, which is celebrating an anniversary (I think it's their 4th?) with special discounted gifts for $0L - $50L in black and red tote bags at every display. Some of these are designed just for the eBody Reborn mesh body, but not all, and I personally don't even have that particular body yet so I'm sticking to gifts that are included in multiple sizes :) Don't take that the wrong way please, I completely understand why those folks chose to honor the event's primary body, so no shade at all. I'm just letting you know that it's still worth visiting if you don't own the Reborn body yet either :) We have until the 4th of November to visit, so around a week remaining to scoop up bargains and treats.

My first look of the evening is our [ADD] Andel Dress - Blue gift, yours for free with no group necessary. There are solid and netfish versions each in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD lets us turn transparency on and off, and pick from 10 colors each for the edging, lace, and built in panties which can also be turned on/off. We even have 6 metal options for even further customization! This is such a versatile gift, and undeniably alluring.

Speaking of alluring, our [Din] Justine Candy gift is also bursting with sex appeal :) It will fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies, including separate panties for each, and is crafted with an embroidered lace panel in the center with satin side panels. We can use the HUD to change colors, 8 choices apiece for the hems, belt, and panties, as well as adjusting the opacity and shine. I made it less opaque on the right so you could see the string of the panties. Those beautiful roses on the center panels really do look lovely in pink, don't they?

If you are tired of Halloween and ready to think ahead to Christmas, be sure to grab the free Buganvilla - Shalana Dress - C7 gift. Its red hue can start the festive feeling, but the three sets of Christmas lights belts (change, mix white, and mix black) really bring the ho-ho-ho ;) The dress and belts are all provided in Legacy and Reborn sizes, with a HUD for the dress offering 18 colors each for border, buttons, and thread (in the middle of the buttons) while the HUD for the lights labeled "change" lets you select from 2 cable colors and 12 for the lights. The black and white cabled lights twinkle just like the ones you'd decorate your tree with, so fun! If the lights aren't your thing, simply omit the belts from the outfit and just enjoy the mini dress with cute heart shaped buttons down each side. 

Next I slipped into the delightful [Glitzz] Milena Set - Rose gift, a lingerie pairing in black with pink and white flowers that match the pink ribbons laced through the openings on both. Our top and bottom both fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and come with a HUD with 3 metals. From certain angles and probably on different bodies/shapes, the nips are visible, but partly covered by the bows of the ribbons.

I did notice that several of the gifts were tattoos, so I randomly selected the Juna: Livia tattoo Woman treat to share and I'm so glad I did :) There are two fancy finned goldfish (koi I think) swimming face to face, almost replicating a yin yang symbol, with curves of text near each. It reads "Live by the sun" and "Love by the moon", with the matching celestial body sketched near each. I really like how inspiring the words feel, and the artwork is stunning. This gift includes BOM layers and an Omega applier, in ultra light, light, medium, and dark which is the one I am wearing here. 

It was an adventurous kind of day here since I went out to pick up dinner, further than I'd been able to comfortably go for a while :) The ride was okay, nothing I'd call easy but also not sheer torment either...it was nice fall weather, and I got a tasty meal (pork chop with apple brown butter glaze, roasted potatoes, roasted corn) that will work out to be like 3 separate servings for me. It was different than what I'd usually get there, so it was fun to try something outside my comfort zone. Tomorrow is a quiet day, then Thursday will be rainy but improved by heating repair and an evening spent playing Hello Kitty with a friend while chatting on the phone :) Her friendship really means so much to me. Well I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Shop and Hop Credits

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some Shop & Hop goodies to share, but rather than the actual gifts, I went with purchases I could make at the event with store credits or a gift card that is the store's S&H gift for us. So you'll want to go to each landmark, click to receive your credits/card, then peek around their stand to find the gift I've chosen to redeem them on. Of course I expect that you'll probably want to choose something else instead there, and I highly encourage that :) After all, the credits are intended to let us pick out things that speak to us, and I stuck to ones whose vendors at the event are set to allow us to use the credits, taking advantage of their discounted sales :) It's a good way to get more bang for our buck, and if you don't see anything here you can always head to their mainstores to apply those credits to whatever you prefer. Many of the gifts of store credit do expire when the event ends in early November, so this post can also serve as a good reminder to use them while you can! Also worth mentioning, the FabFree spreadsheet of gifts lets you sort by type (tabs at the bottom) so you can check specifically the stores offering credit which are in purple. Many thanks as always to the FabFree team for their dedication.

My first stop was Buganvilla, where there is a generous $300L store credit waiting for us. I chose their Noa dress - C9 for $196L with that credit, by right clicking and choosing menu, then buy, then store credit. This lovely minidress has PBR and non-PBR versions included in Legacy and Reborn mesh body sizes, and we also receive a HUD with 28 colors for the fluffy trim. I'm wearing the PBR version here, so my dress is responsive to light, and it was so fun to change the coloring of our furry cuffs and hem :) 

Kastle Rock is offering a $500L gift card as their treat for all visitors, and their sales items here at S&H are so affordable that you can pick up a few items on it :) This is their :K.R: Rue Dress - Blacks - Toxic, which is marked down to $140L at the event. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Petite, Pushup, Maitreya, Ecru, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs sizes for the dress, compatibly sized panties with a HUD for the panties with 16 colors. We also receive 3 sets of BOM pasties - striped, black, and white which are tintable. The neckline isn't low enough to really need them, but I did keep them on for my next look...

Another Kastle Rock outfit I treated myself to with the gift card is their :K.R: Kennedy Casual Set - Teal, on offer for just $88L :) The top is lower cut than I realized at first, LOL, so I'm wearing the black BOM pasties from the prior dress I shared. This sweet set includes the top and shorts in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Juicy Rolls, and Waifu body sizing, with a HUD that offers 14 colors each for the top's ties and the shorts' waistband. I love the way we combine sporty with flirty! Now my two purchases left me with over half of the card's credit, so I'll go back and pick up a couple more treats soon :) But there are other stops and other credits gifts to share so I'm moving on...

Next I claimed the $300L credit at SAGED, and chose their Membrane Dress which was $280L of that credit. I know it says dress, but with the built in panty and hip height hem, I'm thinking of it more as a bodysuit :) Either way, it's definitely a flirtatious outfit, in sizes for Legacy, Perky, V-Tech, Reborn, and Reborn V-Tech bodies. The style is so unique with the wavy seams and left side openings, and just wait until you see the versatile HUD! That lets us choose from 3 colors for the right side, all neutrals, and 36 textures for the left which is a nice mix of patterns and solids. The panty portion stays black, so that's another handy neutral that will work with anything else you select from the HUD. 

My final look is from -[ vagrant ]- and their $300L credit, which all went towards this fun Valerie Top - Patterns fatpack. The top is provided in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizing, and it includes a HUD with 14 choices. Each design for the front has a different color background, and I know it's hard to see but the left says "I'm QUEEN" and the right says "Sunshine" on the top and "Brave and Free" beneath the intricate sun. There are other designs that are summery, and a few animals, so it is a nice variety :) I am wearing my favorite Delizio jeans here, free on the marketplace, but there were some great jeans and denim shorts that were tempting from vagrant as well. The only thing that stopped me was trying to keep the post limited to what I could pick up with this event's credits gift only. To be honest, I had more credits because they don't seem to expire and I do forget to redeem them all sometimes, lol, but chose not to show you more than you could afford with this round's gift.

Whew, I am one tired magpie tonight! Everything I'd planned for today and tomorrow is all flipped around, so my brain is lagging worse than opening day of an SL event. I had a great time playing Hello Kitty earlier with my friend, and chatting with her and her husband who also plays. They are going to a haunted hayride and corn maze tomorrow, which sounds exciting, and *fingers crossed* I'm supposed to be doing an outing that will take me further than I've been in a few years. My nerves are really building up, but I am eager to accomplish the challenge. Well, I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hurry To Buganvilla

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a very limited time offer, and as soon as I found out about it I knew I had to share immediately. The Buganvilla store is offering $600L store credit to their group members, which is also currently free to join. The store credit offer is until the 20th, and I have no idea if the group normally has a fee to join but I would join quickly if you are interested. There are a few group gifts available in addition to the credit, so I am showing you some of those as well as two outfits I picked up with my free credit :) They were randomly selected, one from each floor of the store building, and added up to just under the $600L free credit so my budget is happy ;)

My first look of the evening is a group gift called Buganvilla Store - Yami Outfit - MEGAPACK. The top and skirt are packed separately inside, so let's start with the top which fits Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. It also has a HUD with 31 textures to choose from, for lots of great mixing and matching :) The skirt comes in Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes, and there's a HUD for it as well offering the same 31 textures as the top. I feel like this is a fun outfit for when you're feeling bold and flirty.

Another generous group gift can be seen here, the lovely Buganvilla - Colette Dress - FATPACK. It includes Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. As you can surely tell, there's also a HUD that has 10 color combos to choose from. The top of our strapless tube dress is always a playful leopard print, then there is a row of white lace before it skims our curves with solid clingy fabric. 

This alluring look is the BS - Tight Jumpsuit - Fatpack group gift. Wait till you see how versatile it is! It has bare shoulders, an eye-catching diamond shaped opening in the back, and some cutouts with with adjustable opacity, all in sizing for Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. The HUD has 9 colors for the jumpsuit, 4 alpha choices (opacity levels), 9 colors for 'parts' which are the sides of the bodice and the ankle bands, and 12 patterns for those same parts. I chose a spooky pattern on the left for the season, but there are also choices like donuts and faces :) Just have fun and play with the HUD like I always do, that's my best suggestion.

One of the two items I picked up with the store credits is this adorable Buganvilla - Hana Dress - C7. It is $300L and comes in Legacy and Reborn sizes, with lots of sweet details like ruffles and bows. There is also a HUD to customize those details, offering 28 colors apiece for the ruffle, waist, chest, line (beneath chest), and bows. I adjusted my camera a bit to not show off what the lowest ruffles are just barely covering, lol, so yes I would suggest panties to wear this one out and about :) If teal isn't your favorite color, there are several other choices for the same price so please pick out something that makes you happy.

My final look tonight shows that I am not ready to let go of summer just yet ;) The Buganvilla - Alana Set - C3 outfit is just $280L, and after using my store credit for this and the prior one I have $20L left to use in the next day or so. The t-shirt and overalls are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizes, and there is a HUD with 28 colors each for the t-shirt, suspenders, pocket, and bows, plus 10 metals. We can really customize this cutie, and just like the previous look it is also offered in other main colors so you can enjoy even if pink doesn't impress you much. By all means, please explore the whole store before selecting what to spend your credits on, and use those demos to help ensure they fit and include your size.

Today was a decent day here, with good weather and a nice dinner with my parents. She had a cauliflower crust pizza that she wanted us to try, living that gluten free life LOL, but I will say it was a better texture than I expected. I definitely get plenty of servings of veggies when I'm there :) I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
