Hiya everyone! Tonight I am excited to share some prizes from the Peace On Earth 10 Hunt, an annual tradition that I have always enjoyed and hope you do too. We are searching for globes, a simple sphere with the earth's image upon it, and there are nearly 300 stores in this year's round so you do want to get started soon. The hints are on the website or you can pick up a box with all landmarks and hints at their landing point so you can have them all on hand, and most stores have a sample globe on their sign that can be clicked for the store's hint. December also means Advent calendars have begun, and I have a sneak peek for you from the Entice calendar. Plenty to see!
This is our Peace On Earth prize from Bittersweet+Strange called Selene, and it is a single piece outfit with the appearance of two. It comes in 8 fitmesh sizes, including standard, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. It is a perfect casual look for plenty of activities in SL, gridwide hunting of course being one of them.
Next we have the IMaGE Factory gift, a cozy sweater dress in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink bodies. I love the snowy texture at the neck and hem, and pretty ornaments that add seasonal flavor.
This wonderful outfit is our prize from MOoH! and is their Debbie Outfit. She includes the pants and a tailcoat knit sweater, each in standard fitmesh sizes plus eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is also a HUD with 4 color options for the sweater, all neutral colors that fade down to black in chic ombres.
These dresses are part of our gift from Luziefee, called Yana for POE 10. There are 4 different colors (gold as seen on the left, red as on the right, silver, and black) each provided in standard mesh sizes. They are strapless minis with a sheer layer added for extra fullness in the skirt, very attractive styling. I enjoy having a variety of colors to choose from, and am grateful for the generous prize.
I did promise a sneak peek, and if you visit Entice after midnight when it becomes December 3rd in SL (a couple of hours from when I will be posting this) and wear your free Entice group tag, you can claim this Advent gift called Entice - Island Girl Dress - Black w Red. She comes in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and you will need to find the current date's prize beneath the Christmas tree and pay it $1L which will be immediately refunded. Then you will receive the day's gift, and prior dates can be purchased for $25L each if you miss one. The gifts are all fantastic, there is a sign by the tree that will show you what to expect in the coming days. This is always an exciting time in SL, with so many designers offering generous Advent calendars like this.
I apologize for not blogging yesterday, things just got busier than I anticipated and my time online was very brief, too brief to take photos and notes to get a decent post organized. I managed today obviously, hehe, and I am really glad I did because I wanted to get the word out about the POE hunt and the Entice advent goodies. I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features more generous hunt prizes from the Womenstuff Hunt, and with 150 stores taking part, there is plenty to see and appreciate. Just find the hidden t-shirts using the hints on the website, and you can scoop up dozens and dozens of free or dollarbie gifts, some of which are exclusive to the hunt so only available until the end of April when the hunt wraps up. I also have some gorgeous makeup to show you tonight, eyeshadow and nails from LIVIA which are found at the Dark Side 2 event. I love showing all of you new ways to look even more beautiful :)
I started out casual this evening, with this sexy and versatile gift from IMaGE Factory. It is their Lindsey Jean Outfit w/Appliers, and includes system layers along with an Omega HUD for the capris, jeans, and shorts to be paired with your choice from among 23 color combinations for the top half. There is a really great variety here, and you can match your mood as well as the weather. This gift is free when you find the hidden shirt.
Next, I paired two more prizes to make for one fantastic look. The top is the free prize from Tori's Stylez called Lilly SE Floral Top, and includes standard sizes along with Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP versions. The mini skirt is from <TrAsHeD> where for just $1L you can claim their Zipped Skirt in grey. It comes in plenty of fitmesh sizes: standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine.
I kept the skirt on from the previous photo, and changed into the free prize from Surface called Deirdre TShirt - Woman. There are sizes for Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Slink Physique, as well as standard mesh sizing, and there is a great HUD included with 6 soft colors to choose from. The shirt has "I Am Woman" embroidered across the front, and was designed exclusively for this hunt.
We transition smoothly from casual to elegant with this gift from GLITTER, tucked safely inside their hidden t-shirt. This is called WOMEN Fitmesh Body Mesh Blue, and there are 8 fitmesh sizes provided including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. That floral lace overlay of the texture is really stunning, and the style is too.
My last look of the night is a closer view of the eyeshadow and nail art I have been enjoying tonight, the LIVIA::Slash Beauty Set. For just $149L at the Dark Side 2 event, you can choose from Catwa, Lelutka, Omega or Tattoo packs which each offer 4 different colors in a dramatic shadow, plus each includes a nail applier HUD for Slink/Maitreya/Omega/Vista/Tuty. The nails offer the same 4 striking shades, in a bold geometric design. LIVIA's mainstore can be found here, and the ride to the event is linked in the credits at the end. The event runs until the end of the month, so you have plenty of time to visit. I would also like to mention that you can see my eyes particularly well in this closeup, and they are the *Inkheart* prize for the Fame & Fortune 2 Hunt which spans the month of April and all prizes are just $1L. These are their Uran Eyes in Fame, the prize also includes a color called Fortune, and both hues are provided in system, mesh, Omega, and Genesis HUDs.
All my poses tonight are from my newest endeavor as an official blogger for Verocity. I had been collecting their poses for personal use then blogging use for quite some time, especially each week from Hello Tuesday when we can scoop up a set of 6 poses with mirrors for just $25L which is half their usual price. I was thrilled to see they were looking for bloggers, and honored to be approved :) Their link has been added to the box on the right, and it is in the ending credits as well. More detailed posts will follow, with goodies from various events and such.
Whew, it has been quite a busy day! I am midway through a busy, sleep-deprived kind of weekend, and so far it has certainly been a good one. In the afternoon I'll be visiting family, our small Easter celebration which is basically a regular meal with the added bonus of deviled eggs :) It isn't fancy, but it is time with family and that is what matters most. Whatever you are celebrating, Easter or Passover or simply another day in this topsy-turvy world, I hope you enjoy it and find plenty of reasons to smile. I am also celebrating the birth of April the giraffe's adorable baby boy! ♥ Magical magpie hugs to all!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight is another opportunity to see some of the many terrific prizes to be found in hidden globes across the grid from the Peace On Earth 9 Hunt. I am still startled by yesterday's realization that I was looking at least year's poster on their site and therefore mistaken on the ending date of the hunt...I was seeing a date in January but 2016, this round ends the end of December instead. That means you have just a few days so I hope you've started this hunt already if you're interested :) I hope these glimpses of the many generous prizes help inspire you.
This elegant dress with its full skirt is our prize from Glitterati and is simply named POE Hunt 9 Gift so I believe it is exclusively for the people who find that hidden globe. It is provided in standard mesh sizes, and includes a matching large floppy hat, not shown here. I was quite taken with the classic floral pattern.
If you find the globe hidden in B&T Atelier, you can claim this beautiful mesh skirt set for your very own. The dandelion top features peplum and that amazing open back, and the pencil skirt matches perfectly. Each piece is included in standard sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions.
I feel like this adorable dress from YoKana is the type of style that if you wear it at Christmas time, people will immediately recognize it as a seasonal choice, but other times of the year it would not look out of place either. Their prize for us is this Noel Red Fitted Mesh dress, and a single size plus coordinating alpha layer is in the globe. I decided to dress it up with one of the many stunning jewelry prizes to be found, this time from IMaGE Factory and their Snowflake in a Bottle Necklace. It has a great burnished gold texture, and the bottled flake is accompanied by a cute bell that makes me think of either a kitty or a sleigh. You can also see a closer look at one of the 4 pairs of eyes included in the gift from Inkheart, their stunning Merry Eyes in Gold. I am wearing the medium of their 4 sizes, in system and mesh with appliers for Genesis and Omega, and the other colors in their prize are Chocolat, Emerald, and Teal. Something for everyone!
While there are many dressy style gifts in this hunt, there are wonderful casual looks as well, such as this Winter Blues Ladies' Sweater Set from Robbie Roo's Whatchamagoos (which explains the RRW logo on the jeans pocket) which is one of 3 prizes found in the same globe there. There is a mens' sweater set, and a box of winter accessories, while here you see our off shoulder sweater and mesh jeans. They are each included in standard mesh sizes, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique.
One last look of the evening, this is the POE Chiffon Dress from Chateau Couture. In the globe, you will find standard mesh sizes along with a HUD featuring 4 color choices for this fun fluttery style. It does remind me of fairies, so you could accessorize with wings if you have a favorite pair, or simply a sparkly jewelry set and some heels.
My skin tonight is the Advent gift from 7 Deadly s{K}ins for the 27th, if you read this and it is no longer the 27th in SL it will be available for purchase from the advent tree for a considerable discount over the full price. It's called AMARA in apricot (pineapple tone also included) and I chose the red brows from their 4 brow options. There are several appliers in there, I used the Omega full body one for my Maitreya, and Slink hands/feet. I suspect I'll have a mesh head one of these days, but for now I do not quite yet. I really like the soft pink lips on this skin.
We are sadly mourning another celebrity loss today, this year is just horrible for taking so many beloved entertainers from us. Hopefully the new year will be a more peaceful one! Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am continuing my coverage of the Menstuff Fall '16 Hunt, which runs until the end of the month and features over 70 participating designers with prizes for either $0L or $1L. This has been announced as their final Menstuff hunt ever, so if you or a friend have a male avatar, this is the time to scoop up some terrific gifts. The website has all the locations and hints, so you can see who is participating and skip around if you wish. The prizes are an interesting challenge for me, with my female avatar, to show you in a way that still expresses who I am but doesn't take away from the products themselves, so I hope I can do them justice.
This outfit made me smile because it is quite traditionally masculine, and yet I enjoyed the sense of rebellion I felt by keeping my female mesh body and skin beneath it. The entire outfit is our prize from PUMP, their Trucker Outfit, and starts with the Aurora Trucker Flannel Shirt and Thermal Undershirt (like a dickey, those flaps of material for appearance rather than a full shirt layer) for Aesthetic mesh bodies. There is a different shirt included for standard avatar sizes, a single mesh open shirt with nothing beneath. Next we have the jeans in standard sizes, plus a pair of boots and we top it off with their Spicey Mustard Trucker Hat. Find their hidden t-shirt and you can be dressed from head to toe for free.
Hardcore Clothing has a full outfit hiding in their prize as well, this is their Mens Tough Guy Black & White Complete. It consists of the shirt and vest combo in standard sizes plus Adam and TMP fits, with a wide bottom version of each size (my hips appreciated that!). The shorts come in standard mesh sizes plus Slink and TMP versions, and don't forget the matching sneakers are in there as well. Included but not shown, a mesh mask for the face that has standard sizes plus a couple for wider necks.
This outfit features a combination of prizes, starting with the shirt from Tamiron Forge. Thor's Hammer Tank comes in two versions, the Omega applier shown here and a mesh version that is provided in standard sizes as well as TMP and Aesthetic. The jeans are from IMaGE Factory, their wonderful Justin Jeans Boot Cut which include a separate belt so you can wear them with our without. The belt and jeans each come in several sizes: Fitted 1, Fitted 2, standard S, M, and L. I realize my shape isn't best suited for these, but I can still recognize and be glad of the excellent texturing and the wide range of sizes.
If like me, you appreciate a nice motorcycle jacket, be sure to head to [Z.E.N] and find that blue t-shirt to claim this outstanding mesh biker jacket in an amazing 6 colors! You'll find Black, Dirty, Red (shown above left to right), Blue, Gray, and Midnight each in standard mesh sizes. From zippers to belt, to detailed shading, these are remarkable quality versions of a classic style.
I am sad to see the end of the weekend, but I know that there is a fun (but busy!!) week just on the horizon. I need more time and some extra hands, and the ability to teleport like in SL would be very handy in RL this week :) Have a beautiful day everyone, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I am still working my way through the Womenstuff Hunt, a gridwide hunt with over 150 prizes for either free or $1L (designers' choice) so plenty to enjoy while staying on a tight budget. This is such a fun way to explore new stores or revisit old favorites, while searching for the hidden red t-shirts. There are a few stores with an old hunt prize still out too, so be careful to find the one that matches the hunt from their website. They have a slightly different logo on the shirts but most of them have been shrunk so much that it's hard to see the logo. Most of the current ones say August 2016 in the description (in hovertext) and be mindful of the numbers, too :)
First we have a winning combination from ~EccentriciXi~ called Outfit Bali, which includes the stunning dress in 5 fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, along with the sexy Reese heels for Slink high. The style is elegant and alluring, and works for many occasions. Just $1L for this terrific set :)
Maybe you plan on visiting a boat, or are simply in a seafaring mood, well head on over to Sevyn East and use your sleuthing skills to track down the hidden t-shirt for one little linden. You will claim this charming Nautical Dress in several mesh sizes (fitted, ebody, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique) so it's a great find for mesh body wearers. As you can probably guess, it also includes a HUD with all 3 texture options shown above. The hard part might be picking a favorite among such cute choices!
I am a big fan of this next prize as well, found in the t-shirt at Lilou's Designs. This is their [LD] Maite, an exclusive Womenstuff hunt prize, and is free when you find the t-shirt. This soft beauty is provided in plenty of mesh sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Slink Hourglass, so your unique shape or favorite mesh body should be well covered.
IMaGE Factory has a terrific treat hidden in their free t-shirt, their Flower Romper in standard mesh sizes plus Hourglass and Physique versions. It includes a very useful HUD that features 7 colors in solid or a floral pattern, and 4 color options for the belt. I love the ease of the one piece styling, and texture HUDs are always appreciated.
My final look of the evening is courtesy of Artic Storm, their free prize for the hunt which is this cute casual fitmesh set. The Filly Fitmesh Top comes in standard, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Sizes, while the Filly Jeans Laced Pocket comes in standard (5) fitmesh sizes. I couldn't resist showing you those pretty lacy pockets on the back of the jeans, and the outfit is a perfect choice for working my way through more of the hunt path.
It was a busy, productive day, and I am short on sleep but feeling pretty good otherwise. 13 hours after leaving the house, all I can smell still is my SPF70 sunscreen! When you're as pale as I am (with a family history of skin cancer), it's important to remember it every time I leave the house, there have been times I have forgotten and wound up lightly toasted. Oh well, I am ready to relax tomorrow and I hope all of you have a beautiful day ahead. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am bringing you some prizes from a great little free gridwide hunt, just 22 stores, the Autism Awareness Hunt 2016 with its theme Light It Up Blue. The hunt object is a blue light bulb with a small blue puzzle piece on it, and all hints and landmarks are on their blog. There are plenty of terrific prizes to be found, and autism is a very misunderstood disorder that affects millions of families including a few friends of mine so I am a firm supporter of this research. Well let's have a look at some prizes, shall we?
First we have a beautiful skirt set from IMaGE Factory, called April Flowers. It includes the top and skirt each in 6 mesh sizes including a fitted version, and 4 different alphas so you get an ideal fit. The design on the top, and that soft pink color, both whisper spring to me.
Sin Original is offering a generous prize, their Kerry Top and Capris. The top is provided in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique, TMP, and Venus versions to fit just about every body, and the capris are a system layer with appliers for TMP, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Omega. That is a lot of versatility, and you will be seeing those capris again in this post.
Here we have the prize from .REACTION. which is their Autism Heart Shirt. The system layer is shown, and it also includes appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink so that should cover your favorite mesh body too.
I found another cute short sleeve tee, this one in mesh, from {B-DaZZled} called Autism Wing'd Tee. It is included in standard mesh sizes, each with those delightful rainbow wings on the back :) This photo also gives you more glimpses of the capris from the Sin Original prize, that fun belt (part of the texture) and little distressed details.
Nail note of the night: my jazzy mani/pedis tonight are from the very first prize in the hunt, from Nail It Good! who has organized this hunt for us. Their prize consists of 6 designs on a HUD compatible with Slink, Omega, Belleza, and Maitreya nails which is an impressive range. I'll show a closer look in a future post :) Now I usually number the prizes but they aren't numbered throughout the hunt itself, just on the website, so I decided not to list them with numbers in the credits. With less than 2 dozen on the blog, you should have no trouble.
I hope you're all having a fantastic night, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
