Hiya everyone! As you can tell by now from my past several posts, the Spring Freshness part of my title refers to the current round of the Wash Cart Sale, which wraps up on the 30th so you have a few days yet to visit if you haven't done so yet. As for the steamy part, well that is because I am showing a couple of free prizes from the Steam XI Hunt, a gridwide hunt with the theme Realms of the Deep. It does end in a few days, end of the month like the cart sale, so you will want to hurry if you are interested. Lots of fun nautical steampunk items can be found, mostly home decor.
I definitely look like I was caught twirling around in this lovely dress from Loordes of London, one of their terrific Cart Sale options. This is The Victorian Standard #20 and I am delighting in the details like the rich colors and that shiny attached belt. It reminds me of a kilt, and at $10L is quite a deal. You can visit their main store by clicking here, but for the cart sale items you'll want to visit the link in the credits at the end.
We now head to ancient Greece, by way of the Anachron cart at the Cart Sale. This stunning chiton is the Women's Homeward Star Chiton and can be found there in several variations for just $10L each. On the left you can see it in Virgo, and on the left is Pegasus. This actually made me realize that my avi's rezday would make her zodiac sign Virgo, so it is extra appropriate for me to choose that one :) Be sure to visit their cart and pick your favorite color combinations. Their main store link is here, cart location in credits at the end.
Another don't-miss cart is DemotiK, with several bargains available including the Beaded Sateen Mini Dress in 4 different colors. Above you can see the Copper on the left, and the Teal on the right. The style is sexy and a bit edgy with those spikes around the high waist, and at only $10L a piece you can pick up all the colors without hurting your SL wallet :) To visit the DemotiK main store click here, but for the cart sale deals you'll want the link in the credits at the end.
And now for some steamy goodness, we have prize #021 from Steam XI courtesy of Inara's Fantasy Couture. Their delightful Inara's Steampunk Cutie immediately made me smile, with the fun details and earthy colors. Find their aqua colored cog and you will receive this in standard mesh sizes.
My final look of the evening is another Steam XI prize, this time from Sparrow by Design who are #040 in the hunt path. This is their cute Mrs Kraken Dress, with another appealing use of suspenders and skirt. This has the delicate bow tie attached and some great button work, and comes in standard sizes.
My post tomorrow may be late and/or much shorter than usual, as my day will involve an earlier start than normal and a bit of travel to get to see my family. This usually wears me out (car rides and I do not get along) but I will still try my best :) Meanwhile I hope you're all having a magnificent weekend, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I have a few more fantastic Twisted Hunt prizes to share with you tonight, and am eagerly anticipating the next week or two when I'll be alternating through a few hunts and the Wash Cart Sale in my posts :) Plenty of ways to celebrate the arrival of spring, and we can explore them together.
My first intriguing look of the night is a combination of tradition and sensuality, courtesy of #55 Demotik. This is their main gift for the ladies, top and pants each in standard mesh sizes, and there is a matching male gift too. It looks so serious from behind, but the cutouts in the front are a fun twist :)
Demotik also has some extras in the form of tiny glowing hidden crystals, a total of 3, which contain 2 ladies' gifts and a mens' gift. One of the ladies' gifts is this wonderful skirt set, with the cropped sweater and high waisted skirt each in standard sizes plus a fitmesh version. There is something classy-casual about this that I just love!
Next we have a sassy complete outfit from #70, Steel&Ink. This is their ladies' gift and includes the halter crop top and high waist skinny leggings in a lucky 13 sizes each: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya. Let's not forget the strappy shoes for Slink High, an excellent touch. This can easily become a favorite of mine for days when I want to find everything in one folder and am feeling saucy.
For my final pose of the night, I am enjoying a comfy pajamas set on a luxurious couch gift. The pajamas are from #77 Deadly Angel, and are called Tentacles (F) which does mean that there is a male version in there as well :) They are a single mesh piece in standard sizes, with a great pattern to them. The furniture is from Roawenwood, #7 in the hunt, and is the Chryses Stone Couch with 8 built in poses including eating (shown) that rezzes food in front of you, and drinking which offers you a wine goblet to hold. Their prize also includes (not shown) a black wolf fur rug and a fern planter.
My nail note of the night is the same as yesterday, Dark Passions - Koffin Nails and their Fat Pack of Greek Deco. There are 9 designs to choose from, and the fat pack consists of HUDs for Omega, Slink, and Maitreya.
I am very excited about my upcoming posts and I hope you are too :) The Wash Cart Sale has been a favorite of mine for ages, and the hunts I've got to blog are a mixture of favorites and new finds. Have a great night, magical magpie hugs to all of you!!

Hiya everyone! That's right, I do have plenty more terrific prizes to share from the Black or White 2 Hunt. I am really impressed with the quality of these gifts, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I am.
First we have the black path prize from B Barbie Style, who are #10 in the hunt and the designers responsible for our nails from the past couple of nights (and tonight) along the white path. The dress includes a flexi lace skirt, system layer top and bottom, and appliers for Slink Physique, TMP, and a multi-HUD for Omega, Belleza, Maitreya, Lolas and more.
This cute look is the Reach For The Stars Outfit from Mishmash Fusion, #12 in the black path. It includes the jacket/top, and the pants, each in 5 mesh sizes with playful stars on each. I really like this outfit, as I tend to gravitate towards casual looks when hunting or fishing around the grid.
Get Frocked (#13) has two great gifts for us in this hunt, this being their dress from the black path. Standard mesh sizes, a subtle dark pattern, ruffles, and peek-a-boo slits on the sleeves, this is full of fun details.
The white path prize from Get Frocked is this charming layered shirt which also comes in several mesh sizes. I really enjoy the layered look, and I promise that I wear pants with this when I'm out and about ;)
Finally we wrap up tonight's post with two different gifts that each happen to be from the black path. DemotiK is #14 in the hunt and their ladies' prize is the plaid ruffled short jacket and the belted tennis skirt, each in standard sizes. My necklace and bracelet are from Redrose Jewellry, #07 in the hunt, their Pink Stone Black Pearl set. The pop of bright pink really shines, and can bring a welcome splash of color to any outfit.
Nail note of the night is the same as the last 2 nights, prize #10 from B Barbie Style white path. You get Slink and Omega HUDs with 4 variations of white nails to choose from. You may be wondering about my new hair, well it is a gacha prize from Truth Hair at the Epiphany Event, $50L a pull and I won their brown set so I figured why not? The included HUD has a nice variety of shades, and this one happens to have a bit of auburn at the ends so I couldn't resist. I do love Truth Hair and always appreciate a good updo for blogging needs.
Well I hope you've all had a decent Monday, I know they aren't always fun but they can lead to bigger and better things :) Magical magpie hugs to all of you!!

Hiya everyone! A new month means new hunts, and tonight I'd like to share some prizes from the Newify Your Body Hunt. This is the latest from Apply Your Body Hunts, whose gridwide last month was the Jolify Your Body hunt so they are doing another holiday type theme for us in January. This time you are looking for a flat prim image of a New Year's hat, black with glittery writing on it. We all deserve new goodies to bring us into the fresh new year, and here are some of my favorites.
This is several gifts at once so let's start from the top and work our way down :) This shirt is from Holli Pocket, their Lick Me Up Sweater in Peppermint Aqua. It is prize #3 in the hunt, and is provided in standard mesh sizes along with a Tango applier. My pants are from Demotik, prize #5 Sassy Highwaisted Leggings and come in system layers (you'll need a top and a bottom to make these work) plus an Omega HUD for mesh bodies. They are high waisted but the hips have dramatic cutouts, so these are creatively sexy. Down to my toes, hehe, we have Slink high Dash Stilettos from Euphoria Couture (#7) in black/grey. The stitches around the edge do look like dashes, very cute!
Same pants and shoes, definitely different top...this gave me quite a chuckle :) Take a gander at the Grab Meh Tee from {B-DaZZled} who are #6 in the hunt, this is the system layer but it also comes with an Omega HUD so you can get a helping hand with those mesh breasts too. They look even more suggestive when on a larger bustline, judging from the photo enclosed with the gift. Oh Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey! *whistles innocently*
Grumble has a terrific dress and matching shoes waiting for us in their hidden hat, which is #15 in the hunt. Their fitmesh cami slip dress comes in 5 sizes, and they have generously provided matching Slink high t-strap geometric heels. I know they're calling it pink but it looks almost purple to me, fortunately those happen to be my two favorite colors so I love it no matter which! I am also enjoying the subtle pattern on the dress, works so well with the bolder design of the shoes.
When I see these Apply Your Body hunts, I do immediately think of my Slink nails and new stunning ways to polish them. I found 3 ways to do so in the prizes from Newify Your Body, and they are all gorgeous! On the top, you will see the prize from #11 D&s Designs, a single fun style for Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza with champagne glasses and silvery grey tips. The base color matches the dress pretty well, by the way. The middle section shows the prize from Hello Dave, #1 in our hunt, and their Slink/Omega HUD offers 6 glittery colors in the wedge at the base of the nail. At the bottom, we have a tiny sampling of the prize from #4 La Boheme, their LB Nirvana nails in Silver and Gold, 3 HUDs each (Maitreya, Slink/Omega Manicure, Slink/Omega Pedicure) and 10 base color shades on each. I'm showing 4 different bases, nice wide variety for lots of skin tones.
It has certainly been a heck of a day here, as Saturdays tend to be, and I hope your day was good to all of you. Holidays and long weekends can definitely bring a lot of opportunities, even if it just means extra time to relax and unwind. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! You have probably heard of the Twisted Hunt as the toughest hunt on the grid, and I assure you it does live up to that reputation. No hints, decoys galore, it can prove amazingly challenging even for a seasoned hunter, and this time around I decided to brave it for only the 3rd time or so in my whole hunting history. This is the 14th round (2 a year) and the theme is Twisted Qi, and the cubes you are searching for are black and white. The prizes are truly worth the extra effort involved, and I recommend joining the group so you can ask for hints if need be.
Prize #044 of 106 is this enthralling kimono by {Acios}, in a simple fitmesh size with a HUD for choosing black or white as the background color. The style is very eye-catching with the short skirt in the front and the long panel in the back. Like many of the stops, this store has some extra prizes available, and this one features 12 zodiac necklaces (that's 12 separate cubes to find) that I hope to show you in a different post.
Next we have a terrific outfit from Demotik, who are #050 in the hunt. This is called Bryleigh, and comes with the top, pants, and scarf in standard mesh sizes each. I decided to show it without the scarf too so you could see the top better, it can be worn quite well either way.
For a fantasy take on our Qi theme, be sure to visit Mishmash Fusion (stop #059) where you will find this stunning Ladies Ambush - Balance outfit in black and white (that's two separate gifts) along with prizes for the guys as well. Our ladies' outfits each include a mesh skirt (with attached belt), top (with attached wings) and boots (which I've worn right over my Slink high feet with no trouble, but can be worn without too) each in standard mesh sizes. I feel like I should be in a video game :)
I am always excited to show off new nail HUDs, and this is a closer look at what I've been wearing in all these photos so far. Our prize from #040 Vengeful Threads is this Qi Nail HUD for Slink Nails, with 10 designs to enjoy.
It's been an exciting and busy day, from an Oktoberfest celebration to an event that included a dog agility/obedience course and a puppy parade. Add in a family dinner and it was a truly outstanding day :) I hope this weekend is treating you all well, magical magpie hugs to each and every one of you!!

I'm back with some more goodies I've found in my wanderings around the grid, and a few things have definitely made me smile. In the Be Mine Hunt (runs until Feb. 15th), for just one little linden, I got a wonderful shirt with a HUD to change between a pink heart pattern or a red one, along with a pair of pants that says "be mine" on one leg. *edit to add- SLink Physique applier inlcuded* The pants go better with the red shirt in my opinion, so here it is...
I absolutely had to show you a closer view of this shirt, which gives me a Gothic almost Victorian type vibe. I feel that the bows add a sweet touch. Here is a shot of the HUD so you can see the pink pattern, which I can definitely imagine pairing with a slim skirt, something white perhaps...
Now another thing that I simply adore is the way the shoes match, I even grabbed a closer view for you to see. There are 8 lucky boards upstairs at DemotiK, and they have several different colors of a few different styles of shoes for Slink Mid heels. If you're like me and really enjoy the Mids but can't find as many shoes for them anymore, you need to stop here and visit upstairs! I do love lucky chairs/boards, great way to try a designer's products and fill up that inventory with a few more goodies. Here is that closer view for you to see...
So that's my post for the day, I decided that my pictures needed a background so I'm on the balcony of the house I rent. Wishing everyone joy and magic!
