Still Bringing On Spring

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's back to the FabFree hunt called Bring On Spring, with prizes hidden in neon rainbows for $0L - $5L each. That's an impressive bargain for sure, as these treats are top quality and there is a beautiful variety. Be sure to check their website as well as the Flickr group (link towards the bottom of their page, after the photos) to see what you can earn by seeking out these pretty rainbows. We have about 2 weeks to go since the hunt lasts until the 30th of April, plenty of time to enjoy :)

The first look this evening is our *MARTINES*BOS1 prize, which is one of 5 you'll find here for $5L apiece. This lovely halter mini dress has daisies on both fabric designs, the main and the darker trim, for a style that is somehow both feminine yet edgy. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. 

When you see on the website all the treats that {Poeme} has to offer, you might feel a little overwhelmed but I promise it's okay, you will find them right where the hint says :) They're even beside photos of each prize, so you'll be able to tell precisely what each rainbow is offering. This is the Spring Fever Gingham Minidress (Aqua) which is one of 6 colors among the plentiful prizes, randomly chosen by me because this color seems to work really well with all my usual hair shades ranging from blonde to auburn :) There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included. That softly tied belt bow goes so well with the flowy skirt layers, which remind me of tulips, and the gingham makes me think of picnics :)

Sidwell & Whiskers have a delightful dollarbie for us which is simply named FFRHI. It starts with the pastel Kylie Spring dress trimmed with floral hem, cuffs, and rounded collar that is tied with a fun bow, in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. Then we have a wonderful pair of Killeen mules in white, and these fit Erika, Gen X, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mid height feet. I deeply appreciate having footwear included because sometimes it is tricky to find just the right match, and I'd much rather spend my time shopping and hunting than trying on dozens of shoes that almost but don't quite match ;) Priorities!

I was very excited to see [Ari-Pari] in the lineup for this hunt, as the designer has been going through some RL issues that have kept her mostly offline lately and I've missed her! So of course I'm tickled to share the Shasta Outfit, which can be yours for just $1L and will see you through lots of warm weather ahead. The top and shorts each come in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, along with a HUD offering 6 colors for each. The top textures are solid and the shorts all blooming with (I would guess) Shasta daisies, so we can mix things up or match the colors to suit our mood. I like that the clothing has a slightly loose fit so it's not hugging too tightly, yet very flattering and cut to show off the midriff and hints of upper thigh. 

After all those stops I guess my avi got hungry, so we stopped by Pixel Box to find their 4 charming freebies that are full of popcorn :) Their FabFree Bring on Spring cups come in four different colors - mint, butter, peony, and lavender - which each come in a version with or without a holding animation. It will actually show you digging into the cup (bucket?), bringing your hand to your mouth, and chewing happily, so that must be some tasty popcorn inside. The one I get from the farmers market is popped in coconut oil and sprinkled with sea salt, delicious and I highly recommend that for your RL snack cravings. I don't even miss the butter! You can probably tell that I'm holding the mint cup and showed a closer view of the peony version, so you can see the FabFree Spring wording and design :)

I'm fairly sleep deprived today, and Hello Kitty Island Adventure is partly to blame. They released a DLC (downloadable content) with the City Town addition, a huge boon for those of us not playing on Apple Arcade (where the game started) who've been waiting for over a year to enjoy this part. It was my usual gaming evening with friends after a few morning hours exploring, so I've logged more time in that game today than I should admit ;) After stressful situations the past few days, I am allowing myself the grace to just enjoy something with no pressure. Tomorrow is dinner with the parents, and then Saturday is the farmers market followed by my hiding in this room or my bedroom for a couple of days. So things will look very different this weekend, but I'll be loud AF watching playoff hockey on Saturday night :D  The houseguest will probably be loud(er) with the housemate from watching WrestleMania together, so it balances out I suppose. I hope you're all having a cozy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sunday Sinners Hunt Gluttony Prizes

Hiya everyone! I have a few more treats to share from The Sinners Hunt Gluttony organized by The Sinister Goth. I hope you enjoy this fun little variety, and I hope you get a chance to explore this hunt and pick up these terrific prizes.

My first look highlights one of three prizes hidden at Venomous Rage Designs, their VRD Little Black Dress. This comes in several mesh sizes including Fitted, Hourglass, and Physique. The delightful Steampunk Hat Big Dream is one of 8 prizes to be found at PIXEL BOX Designs, mostly hats but another surprise or two as well. This hat has a built in resize script, and I love the chic little veil.

There are plenty of hunt prizes that are not clothing, such as this Proper Porters Chair~Gluttony by Adorably Strange Wears. This has an impressive 20 different sit poses in it, and who can resist that pattern of fun sugary treats? Our feet have not been neglected in this hunt either, as you can see on the right...the top and middle (and in the view in the chair) I am wearing the prize from Klutzy Kinkyz. They have provided both black and red versions as shown, in Slink High, Maitreya, and Belleza sizes for each. The bottom right shows the gift from Sinfully Seddy, their Sweet Temptations Caged Platforms for Slink High. I love that deep shade of purple!

Next we have some glimpses of the Avian Shadows prize from Stix, who have provided system layers and Omega appliers in 5 fanciful designs. From top to bottom we have Flamingo, Nightingale, and Sienna Goddess, and not shown are Black Raven and Hummingbird. This is also a great time to mention my beautiful eyes from Inkheart, their newest release Juno Eyes. I am wearing the Honey in size L, they are in system layers and mesh versions in 4 sizes each. I am thrilled and honored to have recently joined their blogging team :)

In my final look of the night, I had fun showing off two jewelry prizes from the hunt. That lovely ring is the TSH Ring Gift from Six Feet Under. The double band in the front merges to a solid band in the back, and the bright red of the crystal is very eye catching. My playful necklace is the prize from Sour Pickles, their Carnival Treats Necklace - Pretzel. It is unisex and has a resize script built in. The hippie chick part of my soul always smiles at these long pendants, it is a preference of mine in RL too actually.

My thoughts tonight are heavy from the tragedy in Orlando, FL and the dozens killed and injured in our worst mass shooting. It is heartbreaking, and I am trying to focus on any small glimmers of hope like the fact that the lines were several blocks long to donate the much-needed blood to help the victims, which shows willingness to step up when needed. I'm still sending out comforting magical magpie hugs to everyone tonight, as always, since we need more love in this world!!

Twisted Jewelry

Hiya everyone! Tonight's blog post is focused on a delightful part of the Twisted Hunt, some of the beautiful jewelry I found along the way. I actually made it through the End Game thanks to a lot of help and support from my fantastic partner Xan, and I am very grateful as always. So would you like to see a sampling of the accessories to be found in the hunt? :)

First I should introduce you to the gown that serves as backdrop for all of tonight's jewelry, the prize from JLZ Fashion. You can find this lovely caped gown as #070 in the hunt path. The necklace is quite a statement piece, isn't it? PIXEL BOX is offering their Necklace Phoenix in their hidden cube #030 and it contains a resize script if you need it. I have a fondness for phoenixes that predates my Harry Potter fascination, so this prize really captures my attention and imagination.

Next we have the Women's Twisted Qi Necklace from Secrets of Gaia, stop #001 and one of the organizers of the hunt. I was particularly taken by the gems and the unique metal, and that appears to be a hamsa in the center. If so, that would make it a protective symbol from the Evil Eye.

Zuri Rayna Jewelry has been very generous for the Twisted hunt, as they have extra prizes hidden in their store and a gift at the End Game. The necklace is called Twisted Dawn, and is the main prize at the store, and the unisex Twisted Leather Cuffs are a bonus prize there. The Twisted Dawn Earrings are one of many rewards for surviving the End Game, and they are just as lovely as the necklace.

I have praised CPD (Chaos, Panic, & Disorder!) before for their generosity, and all their decoy cubes contain prizes so there are actually 11 gift-packed cubes to find there. Top row left to right we have the women's versions of Balance Necklace, Twisted Chi Necklace, and Five Elements Necklace which has a bonus surprise...there is a menu upon touch that allows for 5 color changes of the beads (fire, earth, wood, metal, and earth shown) and 2 metal changes, silver or gold which is shown. Bottom row we have Gold Qi and Silver Qi Necklaces, very impressive and bold necklaces. Add in the 5 men's versions and that brings us to 10 total prizes, so what's in that 11th? Well it is a Balance Accessories Crate, packed full of matching goodies for the necklaces...there are a men's and women's set of bracelets, earrings in gold and silver, hoop earrings in gold and silver, a nose ring in gold and silver, and gold balance bracelets for left and right wrists. You can tell that it took considerable restraint on my part to keep the image above as small and simple as I did! :) All this can be found at stop #022 on the hunt path.

One last beauty for the night, we have one of the 12 side hunt prizes from {Acios} who are #044 in the hunt. Each side hunt prize is one of the Chinese zodiac signs represented on a necklace, a male and female version of each are included along with a HUD with 6 metal colors, 21 bead colors, and 6 leather colors which are subtle tints. I am wearing #9 which is the Pig, my RL Chinese zodiac, and I showed two combinations of the colors among the remarkable number possible. There is a notecard in each one with a calculator to see what your sign is if you're unsure, so you will easily find out which is the right one. You can wear any of them for any reason really though, the sign of a loved one or your avatar's rez year, or just whichever animal you prefer.

Whew, that is a lot of fun packed into one post! I really do appreciate all the wonderful prizes from this hunt, but since it's wrapping up soon I am hesitant to blog them again. I believe it ends on the 19th, and that isn't much time to visit over 100 stores, so I hope you've already started if you are interested :) I have other tricks and treats up my sleeves as well, so not quite decided on what you can expect for tomorrow. Meanwhile, have a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
