Peaceful Easy Feeling

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are continuing along the Peace On Earth Hunt 13 path, finding more globes of the earth and claiming lots of generous free prizes. I have been enjoying this tradition for over a decade now, the realization of which startles me a bit but also warms my heart. We can take comfort in knowing that these designers are thinking of us, and it is a treat to be introduced to stores that are new to us among the ones that are as familiar as a favorite song. The website will assist you with hints for each globe, and is also important to have open while hunting because of the locations that need to be skipped. The next landmark might not be updated in each globe yet but the website has that information as well as letting you know to pass by certain stops. I also suggest hunting with friends, since teamwork can help you figure out hints or just cover a large store faster and there are prizes for men as well as women. 

We start the evening with an elegant gown from Glitterati which is simply named POE 13 Hunt Gift. It is provided in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP body sizing. The dark pinstripes look lovely against the green fabric, and the bare shoulders are balanced by the high neckline and pert train in the rear.

I was also very happy to find the globe at [ASHBURY], especially since it contains not just one but two gifts! For the gentlemen we have a handsome shirt, and for the ladies they have included their Grace Skirt n Top as seen above. The charming set comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with exposed shoulders and lots of ruffles and flair. Did you notice the candy canes and gingerbread in the pattern? Those are two of my favorite parts of the holiday season, so it's fun to have them represented on my new outfit.

Next we visit Zickenkiste to find their globe and claim their Nakisha Set 1 outfit. The blouse and pants are each provided in lots of sizes for classic avatars (5 standard plus 5 fitmesh) and mesh avatars (eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine) along with a HUD for each with 4 options. The pants are solid colors and the blouse choices are various patterns, so you can mix and match to create a look that best suits your tastes. 

Red is a popular color this time of year, but also just looks very fashionable no matter what the calendar says! This gorgeous gown is the prize from LoveCat Store called =LCS= Christine Mesh Gown - Red. It includes standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. It has a magical sparkle to it that lighting wherever you wear it will enhance, so you will want to have advanced lighting turned on in your viewer to see it at its best. If I had a formal occasion to go to in the near future, this would probably be my first choice of wardrobe :)

For lots of people, Christmas and cats are two of their favorite things, so if that sounds like you (I am a bird person, but cats are beautiful creatures) please be sure to find the prize at Eclectic Stars. Their playful Shifty - Catty Christmas dress has long sleeves and a flared skirt, all trimmed in softest grey to complement the kitties who are enjoying some Christmas stockings and decorations. It comes in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, so you can probably wear it with most shapes and sizes. I am making use of the provided alpha layer and my BOM compatibility, so anything that should not be showing through is hidden. As a side note, there is an Advent calendar here too, so you have a couple of days left to visit and click the current date to claim some geek chic gifts.

The countdown to Christmas continues, and I am making sure that all my plans are comfortably in place. I have 2 more people to get in touch with about possible facetime or zoom meetups, but otherwise things are under control and all gifts are on their way where they should be. I still have plenty of things I am eager to share with you this month, so please stay tuned to my blog for all the free and easily affordable items I can possibly fit into it :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Stay at Home Club

Hiya everyone! Tonight I decided to share more gifts from the Stay at Home Club, as the number of participating designers continues to grow and I really wanted to acknowledge the thoughtfulness that has gone into this. No group tag is needed, just visit each store and look for the "Stay at Home Club" sign with pastel rainbow lettering, then find your gift. A few will need you to pay $1L that will be instantly refunded, while most are set for $0L or distribute on clicking. Check out their website to see all the gifts in various categories, and click any photo to open the store's landmark. It is so kind of them to spread happiness during this stressful time by sharing their hard work with all of us!

First we visit CatsClaw Designs (at The Wash sim, just like my favorite cart sale!) and pick up their gift called CCD Mesmerize Mini Dress Satin in Teal. It is provided in standard mesh sizes for classic avatars, as well as mesh body versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. It is an alluring style in such pretty colors!

Next we see the two gifts from -Ema's Secret- which are the brown and red versions of their flirty Ceejay Dress. Each includes sizes for Alice, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The short strapless style has a unique neckline with that fun notch to draw attention to our cleavage.

I have a lifelong fondness for denim (probably from being a kid/teen in the 80s) so this gift from MONOMANIA suits me to a tee :) It is called Manda Sky and consists of the tube top and very short shorts, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. I was intrigued by the slit across the front of the top, and the pointed rear hemline of the shorts.

I also visited Sass, and claimed their [stay at home gift] top and panties, seen above. The shirt really spoke to me, "Actually.I Can." as it made me think of the "I. Can't. Even." saying and meme. We may be tempted to think that way these days, that we can't even, but the truth is we CAN get through this :) We have all the good people in SL where it is safe to interact, until our first life gets more stable. Okay, so the inspiring top and delicate pink panties are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing.

For my final look, I stopped by Zickenkiste where I was delighted to claim their gift, Janny (Set 2). It includes a standard version along with sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, all with a HUD offering 4 texture choices. The blue on blue has a tiny, very subtle pattern on the skirt, while the yellow has a bold teal chevron design on its skirt. There are two others that will remain a surprise until you claim it for yourself and check out your HUD :)

The county in which I live released a video (initially a live feed that I missed) of 5 officials each in their own homes, talking about what we are doing to stay safe and get through this pandemic. I spent at least 5 minutes thinking one of the men had on a really unusual giant bow tie before finally realizing it was a face mask pulled down, LOL! Way to go, Dawn's brain...of the other 4 people, one (a nurse) was wearing hers the entire time but the rest did not have one in sight. I don't think we need it in our own homes, so it was probably just for the video. That and playing Animal Crossing were the highlights of my day so far, but I have several hours left during which I will be awake so there are plenty of possibilities :) I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Peaceful Evening

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more prizes from the Peace By Peace Hunt 3 to show you, and they are all a mere $1L each so very affordable. The prizes hide inside puzzle pieces, and there are hints on its website so you can find them easier. I really enjoyed exploring this hunt path, and picked up a bounty of treats to share :)

My first look comes from the puzzle piece at AlaFolie, their outfit called LORIE. The dress comes in Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and even a Ruth (classic avatar) size, along with a HUD that offers 7 colors for the top, 4 textures for the skirt, and 8 trim colors. The serpent bracelet is provided too, with its own HUD that lets you choose from 12 body colors, 8 for the head, and 14 gem options for the eyes. So much versatility!

Another generous outfit can be found at *ML Fashion* called Summer Is Here. The strapless dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, just like the necklace which is rigged to the same mesh body sizes. Our matching strappy heels come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizes. This is a great way to get dressed in a snap and be ready for any outing.

A wonderful way to be ready for an outing on a summer day is with this romper called Ayleen Set 1 from Zickenkiste. It is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a fitted version. There is also a texture HUD with 4 lovely choices, so you can experiment to find the look that suits you.

GLITTER is ready for sunny weather with their HAWAI Mesh Dress & Bikini Applier Blue, found hiding in their puzzle piece. The bikini's applier is compatible with Maitreya, Belleza, Omega, Slink, and eBody, very revealing with its narrow triangles of bikini tops and thong bottom. The dress comes in standard mesh sizes, and can be layered over the bikini as I have done here. The sunglasses I am wearing here are even included too, as an added fun bonus.

My final look of the night is the prize from .::LUNA::. Body Art, their delightful Daisy Nails. There are appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Vista, each with 8 designs to choose from that are loaded with bright blue and yellow for summer. The main reason I wear Slink hands with a Maitreya body is because the Slink have the ability to polish one nail at a time, very handy for photos like this :) Mixed manis are lots of fun, so I appreciate that feature.

I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
