Shop and Hop Gilded

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some wonderful Holiday Shop & Hop gifts to share, this time from the Gilded region. There are 18 regions with 360 total stores, all of which are offering discounted merchandise and a gift for all visitors. Since they are open until the 4th of January, you will be seeing more here again soon ;) I do show you the gifts one region at a time for organization's sake, and I also highly recommend the FabFree spreadsheet that they've worked so hard on. This can be sorted by the tabs at the bottom by region, type, or store name, so you can browse for what you most need and desire. I'm always grateful to the FabFree team, and of course to the talented designers who take part each round in the Shop & Hop events ♥. Just think, the next one will be Valentines so that'll be here before we know it!

For my first look, I'm wearing one of the gifts from ERSCH called Cirbie Suit -silver-. It has a really fun metallic texture and is gathered in several spots, making me think of space travel and roleplay :) The bodysuit, sleeves, and legs are separates in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies. One of my favorite features is the heart shaped cutout in front of the neckline :)

I did mention that first look was "one of" the gifts from ERSCH, since I can't resist sharing another one of theirs as well. That would be this Flassia Bodysuit pat -green gray straps- treat, probably a nod to St. Patrick's Day based on the name but certainly not limited to it. Our suit has a high collar style neck, linked front and back with a large metal ring, above teardrop openings from each view. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 10 metals for those rings I mentioned. The stripes are very flattering, and the legs have the same high cut as the other bodysuit to show off the hips and some booty.

How fantastic is this dress? Our .:FlowerDreams:. Nana dress gift is both gorgeous and versatile, thanks to a HUD with 8 patterns to choose from. The dress is included in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We get a playful glimpse of cleavage through the keyhole opening, and the collar means no necklace is needed to complete the look. If anything, I would probably add some earrings or a bracelet to go with whichever pattern I choose :)

QUEENZ is one of those brands who lives up to their name, because their fashions will have us all feeling and looking like royalty :) They have 2 gifts waiting for us, so I'm starting with the .Q. Riveting -FATPACK- treat. It's got some intriguing straps and open back and sides, with a knee-length pencil skirt that has a walking slit in the back. There are Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Muneca, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes provided, along with a HUD that lets us select from 11 textures. Those are mostly solids but there are 2 lovely patterns like the one on the right above, so we have plenty of possibilities.

My final look of the night is a striking gown called .Q. Forever -FATPACK-, probably so named because you'll want to enjoy it forever ;) It is designed for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 13 sweet textures. The gold glittery one on the right is absolutely dreamy for New Year's Eve, and makes me feel like an Oscar statue, LOL! Yes, that is a good thing, at least in SL where everything fits perfectly and doesn't need layers of shapewear beneath to smooth us out. I always associate gold with NYE, silver too but pretty much anything sparkly or metallic will do. Heck, even the region this gift is on is Gilded, so gold really felt right.

My day had a bit of a surprise, as my Hello Kitty gaming friend had to switch nights to this evening for our multiplayer and chat :) That was fun as always, and we helped her husband find the last of a collectible in the game that he just needed 2 more (anniversary cards). She'd found all hers a while ago, but he tends to be more laid back and less 'urgent completionist' about tasks in games. He's got a few characters stuck somewhere waiting for him to decide to finish their quest, LOL, and realizes and laughs about it every week. They are waiting in a specific area, not stuck as in midair or under a rock or somewhere weird. There is more content coming next month that will include a whole new Sanrio character named Moppu, a sweet little bear who wears a blanket like a cloak. We play on Switch which is the last platform to get any new updates though, so I expect we'll be complaining about the delays soon ;) Otherwise I'm planning on going out tomorrow to a new Aldi's that opened nearby, I forget when but it is a good reason to get out of the house and among other humans. I'll grab some cheese and beverages, and I'm sure some snacks like crackers will mysteriously appear in my cart too...funny how food does that sometimes, eh? I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Halloween Shop & Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to head over to the Halloween Shop & Hop 2025, and I couldn't be happier :) There are 18 spooktacular regions with 20 designers each, so 360 stores with discounts, new releases, and gifts for us to enjoy. I always enjoy the hard work that goes into decorating the regions, then of course the talent and creativity brought to each individual storefront as the designers show us their best. Tonight I'm featuring several gifts from the Aurelian region, as my habit is to share one region at a time to keep things somewhat organized. As always, I recommend taking a peek at the FabFree spreadsheet and sort the gifts by the bottom tabs as needed. Thanks so much to them for this!

My first look this evening is our ERSCH - Taytum Dress -violet- which is one of two gifts they are offering. The dress has bold puffy sleeves gathered twice, and is tattered at the hem so be careful about that opening ;) Our gift includes the dress and separate chain (draped over right shoulder) each in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD that offers 30 colors for the sleeves/collar, 40 for the deco (attached to front and back of chain), and 10 metals for the chain. Isn't the iridescence of the blouse beautiful?

I did mention two gifts of theirs, so of course I've got to show off the ERSCH - Ashley Suit -Halloween SPECIAL- as well! The top and skirt will fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies, with an amazing HUD offering 130 textures for the deco (this time that means straps and pockets) and 30 colors for the buttons. That is not a typo, there are a hundred and thirty choices there!! As a matter of fact, I was so busy counting those buttons a few times that I forgot to switch from the blue set to the pink set, so that version is not shown, sorry. 

Suddenly I'm feeling a bit Wicked in our MONOMANIA - Witch Me gift ;) We receive the jaunty hat and flirty dress, which comes in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Pushup, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The hat is unrigged so you can adjust it. I'm sure you can tell there's also a HUD included, and that offers 12 colors each for the hat, hat trim, dress, and dress trim. The trim in both cases is really straps and buckles, hauntingly attractive if I do say so myself. If the hat really isn't your thing, you can certainly still wear the dress without it and enjoy the great texture and style.

Next I was really impressed by the 'Amikko' 2025 S&H Gift which is wonderfully detailed and ready for the season. There is just one mesh size included, as well as an alpha layer to help hide any stray bits that feel like poking through. The neck and cuffs are trimmed with soft fur, and the skirt's autumn leaf texture is a dreamy nod to the beauty of fall. Did you notice the pumpkin on the front of the neckline? Okay to be fair it is a jack o'lantern since it's carved, but I can never quite recall how to type that out correctly and the spellcheck in here hates it. 

My final look of the night is our ::ALTER:: Akasha Bodysuit ~ Red Pattern gift, another fantastic treat that can serve as a costume. The bodysuit and tail are separate pieces, and will both fit Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu. The provided ears are unrigged so we can edit and adjust them, to get just the right position for your head size and hairstyle. I do love a good animal print, and it's so fun to have it in a fantasy color so something you don't actually see in the wild.

Are you all ready for the weekend? I'm planning on going to my favorite farmers market in the morning, and there's preseason hockey to watch at 12:30 or as I call it, noon-thirty. I have lots of things to do in RL this weekend, but of course there are exciting things to explore in SL also :) I hope you're all having a blissful day/evening/weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Halloween Shop & Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm delighted to invite you to the Halloween Shop & Hop, which has 20 regions filled with a total of 400 designers offering sales, discounts, and free gifts for all visitors. I've visited over half so far and am still in the process of hopping and shopping ;) Since I keep them sorted by region name, all of tonight's treats are from the Dahlia region to make it a little easier for you to find them all. There is a great guide by FabFree that I think you will find helpful too, goodness knows I sure do. The variety is always so impressive here, a little something to tempt just about everyone with fashions, accessories, home decor, and many with a seasonal flair but not all. So even if this season is not a top priority for you (Halloween is surprisingly divisive sometimes!) I still have confidence that you'll be able to find something to buy or gifts to claim.

My first look is the lovely .:{SA}:. Annona Dress Animal Green gift from Starlight Apparel. There are sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies provided, all for free :) I particularly like the soft collar and matching white ruffled trim, plus the pattern reminds me of camouflage designed by Mother Nature for her sleek felines. 

Next I combined two gifts for one sexy look :) The top is our ERSCH - ChaCha Top fem -orange- gift, something like the sleeves of a fun puffer jacket with bold studs on the neck and arm cuffs. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 3 metals for the studs. I needed to cover up the girls, lol, and fortunately was able to pick up a beautiful bra called Mossu - Nevaeh Bra - GIFT for free. It has a scalloped lace band, so pretty! The gift includes Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 35 colors each for the bra and accessories, and 4 metals. I so appreciate all that versatility too :)

MONOMANIA is offering their wonderful Samhain Tied Blouse as the gift at their display, and I'm in love! The sleeveless shirt has a few buttons in the front as well as on the pocket flaps on the upper bodice, and the collar is a very flattering detail. Pick up this treat and you'll receive sizing for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya, Senra Jamie, and TMP mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 5 texture options. I randomly picked the black cats on purple background and the dancing rainbow of skeletons :) For this and the previous look I am also wearing the black pair of jeans from my favorite Marketplace gift, the fatpack from Delizio.

For some Asian flavor, be sure to visit the #13Avenue display to grab their Chi Dress - FATPACK free gift. This beauty comes in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh body sizing, along with a HUD with 8 colors each for the dress, seams, and metal. The metal is actually the closures down the left side, intricate clasps that match the one at the throat above our squared neckline. 

My final look made me think of Beetlejuice and its new sequel, turned into flirty fashion. The -PULSE- Circe Dress / GIFT is striped on the bodice and sleeves, with a solid black corset and short fluttery skirt to match the attached collar. Quite a cheeky rear view, I must say ;) Our gift includes sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

Whew, it was really an up and down type of weekend here. I got some really good news, my cousin's wife had a healthy baby boy on Saturday ♥. His name is Noah, and everyone is doing well. She and I discussed baby names quite a while ago, and I do recall that being one that she liked so it was not surprising and I am pleased with their choice :) I know I know, it's not up to me lol, but it's nice when you can be sincere while complimenting a new parent's name choice. I've seen a few pictures and of course he's a cutie, made my heart happy to see. My therapy session earlier was a lot, like genuinely that's the best way to describe it...I shared some childhood trauma type stories that most likely contributed to my anxiety issues. Same homework for this week, going a couple of unfamiliar places and sitting out in the car on days I don't go out. I also have a medical appointment on Friday, which I'm already worrying about so I need to calm down ;) I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gilded Shop and Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some more SL21B Shop & Hop gifts to share, but unlike last night's these are on a non-adult region called Gilded. There are 20 moderate regions like this, and 4 adult ones, all of which have 20 displays apiece for a total of 480 amazing stores. All have discounted items and gifts, and I cannot recommend the FabFree guide enough for deciding where to go :) Their team worked so hard on it and are keeping it updated as needed. As for the event itself, the 21st birthday of SL's celebration is open until the 21st of July so we have time to visit everywhere and enjoy.

I'm starting the evening strong with the sexy [ADD] Valerie Dress - BlueL gift. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with a very handy HUD. That offers latex (left above) or silk (right) texturing, 7 metals and 5 glossiness settings, plus 10 colors and an on/off option for the built in panties. It looks fantastic from the back as well as the front, don't you think?

Another don't-miss gift is the ::ALTER:: Aruba Top & Skirt (Suit) ~ Gold seen above. They are actually linked together as one piece, which fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The top has a really fun collar connected by diagonal strap across the front, with lots of bands to help create this playful style.

When you visit the Grumble display, you'll find several free gifts there including this sassy Wrap Dress-Bear treat. The style has a peek-a-booty cutout on the back and low scooped arm openings, for flashes of skin in intriguing places :) We receive Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Prima Busty, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes.

Next we have a versatile gift from ERSCH called Reenis Dress -lilac- . The name doesn't even give you the full picture though, as it includes the dress, panties, and a separate top that will each fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu bodies. There is also a HUD with 50 different colors for the pearls and 10 for the metals, so we can really customize the appearance :) The top can be worn instead of the dress, with the panties, if you want the look of just seashells and pearls with no flowing skirt portion.

For my final look of the night, I'm feeling romantic in our .:(CW):. Nicole Sexy Dress SL Happy! gift from Celestina's Weddings. It is delightfully ruffly, and the soft creamy color will flatter many. The strapless high-low hem gown comes in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Bombshell, Lara X, Petite X, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. 

It was a decent day here, hot but no rain, and dinner with my parents was nice. Unfortunately my mom's oven has been acting up lately and running hotter than set for, so the stuffed shells were overcooked and wound up with a few crunchy spots. She was embarrassed but we didn't care and I even brought home a few leftovers :) I'm starting the new dose of one of my medications in the morning, and I don't expect to feel any differently because it is just a small increase, at least not for a while. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Winter Spirit Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings glimpses of some of the many gifts available at the Winter Spirit event by Flair For Events. There is no group tag necessary to claim these, just buy each gift box for $0L and the contents are all yours :) The boxes are a lovely shade of teal with a red ribbon, and most of the displays have one for us but a few are empty at this time. I actually didn't find out about this event until its final week, so we only have until the 6th to visit and complete our shopping. I apologize for the short notice and hope that you all have time to enjoy it!

Let's start with the HER - HAVANA SET gift, which is a charming pairing of solid color sweatshirt and plaid miniskirt. Each piece fits Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and there is a HUD with 5 color choices for each. Plaids do make for lots of mixing possibilities, and this outfit works so well for winter :) 

That plaid miniskirt is doing double duty since I'm wearing again here, this time as the bottom for the nope. alaska gothmas se gift. You may remember that nope's former brand name was ZFG, and I'm always happy to see them at any event I visit. This soft looking shirt has a delicate hood, and a slight heathered knit texture in your choice of 5 colors via HUD. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh bodies provided in this sweet gift.

Another store whose booth you don't want to miss is [Ari-Pari], and be sure to claim your free Pastel Knit Sweater Dress while you're there :) This beauty has a cozy cowl neck and fantastic knit textures, and I'd happily wear it as a tunic top with pants/leggings/jeans beneath if it was just too chilly for a dress. We receive sizes for Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh bodies, as well as a 7 texture HUD to change the colors. The hearts in the pattern certainly caught my eye, so if we have a snowy Valentines Day I'm keeping this in mind!

Next we have a more year-round style from Witch In A Box, their sexy Aliza Torn Dress gift. It does have several tears both front and back, while still covering all essentials :) This gift includes sizing for eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a 6 color HUD to change the appearance if you desire. 

My final look this evening is a wonderfully textured treat called ERSCH - Mevis Suit -blue-. Its top, sleeves, and skirt are 3 separate pieces, each in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing. There's also a metals HUD with 4 choices for the waist chain on the skirt. I appreciate the ability to wear this look with or without the sleeves, and the color makes me smile :)

It felt like a long day for some reason, although mostly I think my sense of timing is all off from having my therapy sessions switched to Sundays. It isn't a problem or anything, just feels unusual and I suppose I don't adjust easily to changes in routine. All in all it wasn't a bad day, and I am almost caught up on the new Percy Jackson series since I watched the third one this morning. The 4th apparently aired while I was watching a frustrating hockey game tonight. I'd read the books but have forgotten many details, so it is fun watching and remembering. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Shop and Hop at Chickory

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we return to the SL20B Shop & Hop, this time the Chickory region which is one of 24 regions included with 20 designers' displays in each. All of them are offering terrific new releases with some discounted, and a special gift from every one of them. There is such a wide range among the stores and their selections, so you're bound to find something new :) I'm also thrilled by the 20th birthday celebrations since Second Life means more to me than words can express, and I'm honored to be a part of this amazing community. Here's to another two decades and beyond!

First up, we see the cozy MONOMANIA - Your Colors gift for SL20B. This outfit includes the sleeveless top and shorts in Freya, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, as well as a HUD with 7 colors for each piece. The top always has the same adorable image on it with a cat wrapped in a rainbow flag saying "Wear your colors". Those huge eyes just melt me, and I have a fondness for black cats so I am a huge fan of this gift.

Next I changed into the sexy gift from Aitne. called Mariel Dress - Cow. It has a daringly low square neckline and diagonal ruffled hem, and the name suits the print of the fabric perfectly. There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies included in our thoughtful gift.

ERSCH is offering multiple gifts this Shop & Hop, including this flirty Dutchi bodysuit -blue-. It is sheer with the exception of solid cups, and has shapely seams to really flatter any body. We receive Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Mounds, and Juicy body sizes, all in that lovely shade of turquoise blue that reminds me of a tropical ocean. 

For my final look this evening, I changed into another sexy gift, this time the Mossu - Gift Dress - SLBD20. It starts with the dress in eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, then continues with a fantastic HUD. It offers 6 transparencies (one of which has solid bra cups but sheer otherwise) and 12 colors for sparkles plus on/off options, as well as 41 colors for the built in panties and an on/off option for that too. So much versatility! The sparkles are much easier to see in person, but I think you can see them fairly well on the right above.

Quick hair note of the night - yes it is another Truth Hair release, and another Saturday Sale special, so for a very limited time it is discounted. The name is Sunny and it is a fun breezy style, with a version wearing a bucket hat and the one I'm wearing without. There is also a separate hat included in case you want to add it to the hatless one or possibly other styles. The accessory HUD offers colors and patterns for the hat, while the color HUDs all provide a stylist tab to change the sides a little bit. I am mentioning all this because there was no group notice or flickr post for it, not even a tweet, but the subscriber group got a notecard which can be easy to overlook on the weekends when things get busy. So I felt it was worth spreading the word :) As always I love it!

My weekend didn't work out the way I'd hoped, thanks to my anxiety acting up again. I was unable to go to the farmers market, which is deeply disappointing, and the pain/swelling in my left pinky spread towards the tip another segment so that is uncomfortable. I am trying to be patient, but that isn't always easy. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

A Few More Scoops

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we return to the SL Syndicate sewer maze for more Scoop N Score Hunt prizes. They are all free, and there are over 150 poops waiting to be found so they can reward us. Don't forget to pick up your free golden scooper at the landing zone by clicking the sign, which is not needed to claim the prizes but has a fun animation and versions for left and right hands. This is a challenging endeavor that I was grateful to have Xan's assistance with, and the names of some of the poops are hilarious so it was good to have someone to chat with about them while hunting. We have the entire month to complete this hunt, so it's okay if assembling your hunting crew takes a little time ;)

My first look of the evening is quite possibly my favorite out of the 8 Web Dew prizes, if only by a small margin because they're all terrific. This is their ::WD:: Dress Petal - Unicorn, a fluttery style with sweetheart neckline and bows adorning the skirt and sleeves. The dress and its separate sleeves are designed to fit Freya Push Up, Isis Push Up, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, and we can wear it without the sleeves if preferred (but I really wanted to show you the bows from both angles!). We also receive a HUD with 3 texture options and 5 shine settings, to really allow customization of this beauty. 

The ::WD:: Dress Emery - Red (T) is another lovely prize from Web Dew, and I believe the T stands for transparent here. In addition to the dress there are panties provided too, all in sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There is a notecard inside letting us know that we can edit and adjust the transparency if we wish, so that is fun for a more modest look when the mood strikes. I feel so flirty in this!

There are 4 prizes hidden from ERSCH, like this stunning Bekka Lingerie special -brawn leather- set. The color is probably a subtle nod to the theme and hunt object, yet it is a sophisticated and flirtatious style that I am excited to share :) The top and panties are each included in Freya Perky, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The bows in the back and on the hips are fun details, and there are tiny scuff marks on the leather texture that indicate this is a well worn and much loved outfit.

I know I shared a few of Tea Lane's prizes in my first two posts from this hunt, well there are a total of 7 from them so I have two more combined for tonight :) The ~TL~ Poop Ruffle Dress pairs perfectly with the ~TL~ Poop Ribbon Heels prize, and the poop emoji texture on both is so condensed that they are small enough not to be recognized at first glance. Find the dress and you will claim sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, working well with the Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes of our shoes. I appreciate how the darker brown trim of the dress matches the hue of the wedge heels, although they are not the same texture...as a matter of fact, the heels have tiny poops on them too. 

My final look this evening is a glimpse at two varieties of one of the many Wyld Wynter prizes, 8 poops with multiple gifts inside a few. On the right I'm wearing the ~WW~ Shirazad's Stones (Citrine) tattoo, with ~WW~ Shirazad's Stones (Bloodstone) on the right. These are provided in BOM layers and a similar Regalia layer, which apparently uses a different mapping. Their body art is beautiful, something I recalled from Twisted hunts, and am very happy to have more treats from them :) The black hearts you see are a marketplace gift called [ Embox ] // Modest Heart Pasties - TINTABLE - Gift, very useful for layering beneath things for a little extra privacy. There are 3 nipple sizes and the lower heart, each separate BOM layers and all with permissions to be edited so you can change the color. The lower heart doesn't cover any of the back view, so I decided to try pixelating my booty crack. I am not a photoshop expert and had to look it up, LOL, and not convinced I did a very good job but at least it's modest-ish ;)

Well, my body is still not happy with the doxycycline, but I am hanging in there. I'm still boggled by the fact that a suggested search for this medication (I was trying to determine if I should take with/without food and avoid anything in particular) was "doxycycline ruined my life". Yikes! In the future I might ask for a milder alternative if a physician wants to put me on this one again, but if it is the best choice I will tough it out while trying to reschedule any other plans during the timeframe. The weather tomorrow is supposed to be hot but cloudy, but that is nicer than the rain expected Saturday morning for my farmers market outing. I'm still going and very much looking forward to it :) I hope that you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Scoop Scores

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is bursting with more Scoop N Score hunt prizes, all of which are free and found by exploring the SL Syndicate sewer maze. We are looking for poops, sort of like the emoji but with teeny legs and smaller eyes/faces, and you will see some examples at the landing area on shelves. You can also pick up your very own scoop to hold while hunting, for free by clicking the sign, LOL! It isn't necessary to claim the prizes, but it is quite a conversation piece ;) I was lucky to have Xan's assistance because I am not great at mazes, and we generally find teamwork to be useful for the more challenging hunts like this. So grab a friend and bring them to the sewers, and prepare for a stinking good time. The puns and wordplay in the names of many of these poops were cracking me up, so voice chatting with Xan during the hunt was punctuated by a lot of outbursts of laughter. We have until the end of the month to discover all the secrets of the sewers.

For my first look, I started with the lovely DREAMCATCHER - Sofia Nightdress - Gift color prize. This is one of 5 prizes from this designer, and it fits Freya, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The dark fabric is embossed with a floral pattern that looks great with the full short skirt, and the plunging neckline makes a pretty frame for the other gift in this photo :) That would be the Evado Daniel The You Necklace, the same store whose Babygirl Collar appeared in last night's post. This time we have a slender chain connected in the front by an ornate heart dripping with gems, in sizes to fit Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. There is also a HUD with 6 metals, 22 gemstone colors, and options for brightness and glow. It's beautiful and versatile for sure.

I combined two prizes for this look, but this time from the same designer :) The main outfit is our ERSCH - Fanbase Suit -denimnavy- prize, whose top and bottom are each provided in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn sizes. There is also a HUD with 5 metals to choose from, so we can adjust the look a bit. Then I added the ERSCH - Fanbase Straps -star- gift, which has 5 colors of straps for the top and bottom (black, pink, red, white, yellow) that are included in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. I'm wearing the pink top and bottom on the left, but changed into the yellow top and red bottom on the right. All of them say STAR, which is exactly how we get to feel :) The straps also have a 5 metal HUD for the clasps.

Next I prepared for the hot weather with our ::WD:: Set Faye - Tropic which is one of Web Dew's 8 generous prizes. The bra, panties, and pareo are each provided in Erika, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. Then we can add the brooches for left and right ear (like large earrings) and chest, and the matching hairpin. There are HUDs too - the one for the clothing has 3 transparency levels for the cloth portions (full, part sheer, then all the way invisible) and the accessory HUD offers 5 colors each for 5 parts. When you click a numbered button it makes the parts you're able to tint glow briefly, so watch for the parts of the outfit to light up! I really love Web Dew's style and was delighted to find so many treats from them.

There are 2 prizes waiting in the sewers from Ash, one of which is this striking Mako dress - GOLDEN. It consists of the dress, dress bows, neck bow, and straps, each designed for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Since they are separate pieces, you can wear just the dress or add just one or two of the accessories if the full look is not quite to your tastes. 

My final look of the evening is another treat from Tea Lane, and similar to the ones I shared last night it has a playful poo emoji pattern. The ~TL~ Poop Comfy Pajamas are a one piece shorts set with pert frills and a bow at the waist where the belt is tied. There are sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included in this fun gift. 

In case anyone was curious about the food delivery issue I had yesterday, there is a small update...she usually posts her weekly menu on Mondays so I was curious to see if anything else was mentioned. Another post after the menu told us that since the warmer weather is here, we could add an insulated (she spelled it insulted, sadly appropriate?) bag with ice pack to our order. I checked, it's $6 extra. So her new delivery driver made a mistake and to prevent it from happening again we have to pay more? Nope, you've just lost 3 regular customers. I am disappointed but there are other sources of healthy food out there. In other news, my follow-up visit for the abscess I had treated is tomorrow afternoon, and I don't expect there to be any issues as I think it is healing appropriately. I'll still be able to blog in the evening :) I'll probably take a brief break from Scoop N Score to share some other goodies, then return to it soon as there are lots more I want to show you all. I have a few ideas in mind already, as May has brought new rounds of hunts and events that make me very happy. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Seraphim Trick or Treat Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore the Seraphim Trick or Treat hunt, in which we are looking for small carved pumpkins (jack-o-lanterns) surrounded by candy. They are free for everyone, no group tag needed, and they are hiding at the mainstores of several wonderful designers :) The website will guide you with pictures of the hunt prizes, which have links to each store when clicked and viewed full size. Confession - I didn't realize that at first and wound up asking about where to find the landmarks in the group chat the other night, and I'm sure the people who read it thought I was drunk or lazy :P  Believe me, these prizes are worth the bit of embarrassment I went through, and it was a pleasure to explore these generous stores. Some of the designers have out "trick" pumpkins like decoys that do not contain the prize, although one (HU, not shown tonight) had a prize in their trick pumpkin and the treat one with both being designed to be worn together. 

First up, we have the casually cute Luas Jogging Halloween Edition prize. The sporty bra top and shorts are provided in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. Both are decorated in a seasonal pattern including bats and stars, oh and I see a few crescent moons as well :) 

Maybe your spooky season will include a visit to a beach or pool, or perhaps you would simply love this sexy bikini as loungewear...either way, you can find it for free in the pumpkin at *HolliPocket* :) It is called Witchy Outfit and consists of the top and thong, each in sizes for Erika, Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. There is also a HUD with 5 colors each for the bows and the strings, so we can change up the look quite a bit to suit any mood.

ERSCH has two treats waiting for us, one for the ladies and one with sizes for both. The outfit on the left above is their Candy Lingerie -halloween bats-, and its bra, garters, and panties are each provided in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Reborn Mounds, and Reborn Juicy sizing. There is also a HUD that offers 24 colors for the tiny bows and 5 metals for the chains on the panties, for added variety. On the right I removed the bra and covered up a little with the Sungie Haori -halloween bats-, which is the female counterpart to their Sung Haori for the gents, packed up separately inside. This one has sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies, and can be layered over a wide variety of clothing. I chose to share them together for ease and especially since both gifts have the same seasonal pattern. 

I also found the treat pumpkin at .Aitne. and happily claimed this flirty Nora Halloween prize. I started to call it a dress, but upon reflection I think it might be a bodysuit with wide ruffled skirt attachment, but however you classify it I hope you enjoy as I do :) There are eBody  Reborn, Erika, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya sizes provided, as well as a HUD with 4 different textures. Each option has a different background color and varied patterns, although the white has a blood stain on the front but not the back so more of a design than a pattern. The panty part is a daringly narrow thong, which is what made me realize it was not necessarily a dress. 

My final look of the evening comes from Belle Epoque, and is their striking Allegra - Hunt Gift. The skull pattern is dramatic and dare I say haunting, particularly on the long full gown's elegant styling. There are Legacy and Maitreya sizes provided, and you might need to use your body's HUD for some alpha tweaking as I did here with my Maitreya body. My thighs and belly were trying to play peek-a-boo through the mesh, easily remedied and such a sharp result :)

Tomorrow I have an appointment so I will be fairly busy, but it shouldn't interfere with blogging so I have a few possibilities to choose from for my next post. The closer we get to any holiday, the more things I might be able to share :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
