Black Friday with Ewa and BlackBarry

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some early Black Friday sales info to share, with a bonus of several free gifts with no group tag needed. There are several stores involved - Ewa Boutique, Sugar Dolls, TOG Store, BLK, Charlotte Store, and Blackbarry - set up in a special location with sales up to 70% savings. You'll need to get there before the 25th, so hurry on over! The gifts I'm showing you tonight are from Blackbarry and Ewa Boutique, in pretty gift boxes in two of the rooms of our shopping area. Have fun and enjoy the savings :)


My first look this evening is the charming BB - 356 gift from BlackBarry. The dress comes in Kalhene, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, while the fuzzy jacket has sizes 1 and 2 so you can try them each on and see which fits you best. We also receive a HUD with 20 solid colors and 18 patterns for the dress, and 20 hues for the jacket. Lots of versatility in this sweet free gift :)


Next I slipped into their BB - 350 gift, also free with no group tag necessary. This ruched dress and gathered sleeves are each provided in sizing for eBody, Juicy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Pushup bodies. The HUD offers a whopping 45 colors each for the dress and sleeves, so we can mix and match to our heart's content. If you are headed somewhere warm, you can always leave the sleeves off too and have a wonderful strapless tube dress.


Another gift that really caught my eye is BlackBarry's BB - 355 outfit. The tank top and leggings are each included in Alice, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizing, with a HUD that offers 27 top textures, 24 images for the top, and 22 colors for our pants. I always appreciate the ability to customize a look to suit my mood, like one day I may want simple and monochromatic when another day it feels better to be bright and cheery with all the colors possible.


Head over to the Ewa Boutique room if you want to get retro with me! This is their adorable {EB}GIFT SPECIAL #004 outfit, whose dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous body sizes. The shoes fit Belleza, Maitreya, Ocacin, Slink, and Tonic Feet, matching gloves come in Maitreya, Ocacin, Slink, and Voluptuous sizes, and our earrings and headband are adjustable. Having accessories makes me so happy, and I feel like I should be hanging out with Barbie in this fun ensemble.


For my final look of the evening, I got frilly and flirty with the {EB} MOON GIFT which is also from Ewa Boutique. There are black, blue, gold, pink, and red versions packaged individually, each of which contains the bra, skirt, and necklace in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The bra has panties attached too, and I really like the corseting of the dress. I'm wearing red on the left and gold on the right, just to show you a couple examples :) They are all so lovely!

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

Gifts From Off-Line

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is one I've been eager to be able to do, as I'd been checking several times a week to see when "Off-Line" would change out their wall of group gifts :) They just put out their October, November, and December treats for their free group, 7 for each month, and so I am starting out with the October goodies in this post. Now if you visited them last year for their monthly group gifts, you may already have these as they are the same ones, however I am still glad to share because they are always going to be new to someone out there :) You could be new to my blog, new to Off-Line, or simply didn't grab them because you didn't have a mesh body that they'd fit at that time. It should be simple enough to search your inventory, then come on down and visit if you don't have these wonderful free gifts.


My first look of the evening is our "Off-Line" x "Jenner" Dress / Fatpack gift. There are sizes for BBL, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, each packaged by size with loads of great colors. They include black, buttercream, grey, lavender, lemon (seen on the right above), lime, marzipan, nude, periwinkle, pigeon, pistachio, rose, salmon, spring, taffy (left above), tangerine, turquoise, and white versions. The texture is amazing, and I'm loving the way the front is crossed to show off ribs and cleavage.


If it's chilly outside, you can turn up the heat in your bedroom with the flirty "Off-Line" x "Emma" Lingerie / Fatpack group gift ;) Our bra, panties, and garter are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, all in black, buttercream, cantaloupe, grey, lavender, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, periwinkle, pigeon, pistachio, rose, salmon, spring, taffy, tangerine, thistle, turquoise, and white. On the left I'm wearing the marzipan bra with grey panties and garter, while everything's coming up spring on the right :) The heart cutouts are fantastic touches, and the lace is so well done as you can see. 


There is something sporty about our gift called "Off-Line" x "Piper" Dress / Fatpack, quite possibly the fun belt that is attached. There are Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya unpackers included, each of which contains black, buttercream, cantaloupe, grey, lavender, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, periwinkle, pigeon (seen on the left), pistachio (right), rose, salmon, spring, taffy, tangerine, thistle, turquoise, and white versions. The belt has the store's name on it as well as the strength of the straps, and it says "DRESS" above the cleavage-baring opening just in case you forget what you're wearing ;) I really like the contrasting piping on the seams too, these gifts are always loaded with terrific details.


This simply stunning look is our "Off-Line" x "Suzanna" Dress / Fatpack gift, and I adore it! We get to enjoy unique styling with three straps, unusual cutouts in the front, and a handy HUD with 60 options. Those would be 20 lovely colors each in classic (solid), bandana prints, or swirl prints for the total of 60. I picked out a bandana print on the left, then swirled some shades of orange on the right. The dress itself fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies.


For my final look this evening, I slipped into a couple of the flirty "Off-Line" x "Lotte" Dress + Sheer / Fatpack gift varieties. There are original and sheer versions of each dress in each body size's unpacker HUD (Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya) that are both provided in cyan, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, pink, and white. I'm wearing solid nude on the left, sheer cyan on the right, and you'll notice that both have black panties built in. The sheer does show off the nips, hence my pose with hands in front of my breasts, but we could easily add some pasties beneath if so desired. 

Guess who got her voice back, finally?! 🥳 It's about time, as it was getting frustrating having to whisper or type everything I needed to say for the past 5 days. I am still coughing and exhausted, but we will take any healing progress we can get :) I've got my hot tea, and I am trying very hard to find a positive outlook in all of this. Some moments it's okay, then I get hit with a rattling coughing fit and just feel frustrated all over. I need to get some fresh air soon, that's for sure. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

S@BBIA Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're taking a look at some wonderful gifts from S@BBIA, whose group is free to join and lets us claim several gifts as well as possibly win prizes from their lucky boards. I've been a fan of theirs for such a long time now, and it is a pleasure to visit and see what's new. They used to provide single fitted sizes, but I do see they have branched out into multiple mesh body sizes too. Just be sure to check signs and demos so you know what's included in each offering :) As for the gifts, the most recent is usually on the easel in the central area, and others are on the wall to the right. Behind the easel is a small wall panel with the group's lucky boards and a Guess & Win board that you do not need a group tag for. These are so fun, just try to guess which of 9 boxes hides the match to the prize shown. I always get a very classic, relatively modest feeling from their creations, a style that appeals to me and makes for a fun change sometimes :)


My first look of the evening is the S@BBIA::Back Ribbon Blouse Set Gift, which is yours for free with their free group tag. The lovely blouse and velour pleated skirt are each provided in a single size that fit my Maitreya body very well, and the tweed pumps come in versions for Maitreya, Slink, and classic flat feet. There are alpha layers for each too, which is quite handy. The sweet bow on the back of the blouse really made me smile, and the colors are timeless classics that work for any time of year.


I also couldn't resist sharing the S@BBIA::Halloween 2024 Gift, although Halloween is over I still think my Goth girlie readers will appreciate it :) The dress has sheer sleeves with cobwebs to match the overlay of the skirt, and red ribbons on the upper bodice. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies plus a fitted version for classic avatars. Our platform ankle boots come in Fitmesh, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Slink sizing, and the bandage tights are provided in BOM layers in black and nude. We can easily wear this without either tights if preferred, just to change the look up a little more.


If you're looking to get ready for chilly weather, how about the S@BBIA::Check Knit Dress Brown Gift? The long sleeved sweater dress is so comfy looking, and its trim matches the included scarf which is a separate piece so you can wear them alone or together. Each is a single mesh size with an alpha layer, so its loose fit should enable it to fit many shapes and sizes just right.


I'm feeling so fashionable in my new S@BBIA::Long Sleeve Dress Gift, thanks to its houndstooth pattern and bold pockets to match the solid shoulders and sleeves. This comes in a single size with matching alpha layer, so we can wear it with many BOM-compatible mesh bodies. If this were all shades of grey and just a little shorter, it could be an SL version of one of my favorite RL winter tops :)


My final look of the evening is the charming S@BBIA::Ruffle Frill Dress (Gift) which is their most recent group offering on the easel in the center of things. This beauty is provided in a fitmesh size along with Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body versions. I love the way the bodice is perfectly formfitting while the skirt flares out playfully, and the ruffles on the shoulders lead back to a very pretty bow. It's romantic and flattering, and the plaid is a lovely touch too. I've been wearing this all weekend, it'll be almost sad to have to take it off later ;)

Whew, I need a better immune system or something! Friday and Saturday I was just so exhausted from being sick, and the cough went from dry to hacking and productive except the mucus is too thick to budge. This means I occasionally cough hard enough to almost black out, and my ribs are ridiculously sore. Still no voice, that's been gone since Wednesday, and I had a slight reaction to the half dose of mucinex I took so that is not the answer either. *sips mint tea with honey* I had canceled my therapy session since I can't talk, lol, and that would defeat the purpose of a video call, but he was very understanding and we'll pick up next week where we left off. My temperature is normal again, so I'm just cycling through all sorts of weird symptoms. Are we having fun yet? ;) It messes with my anxiety to be physically ill too, like difficulty breathing from being stuffy mimics anxiety symptoms and causes panic attacks. I'm trying to learn to meditate, in search of calmness. I hope you're all having a happy and healthy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MLM Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored some stores who participate in the MLM Free&Offers group, so I could share some of their generous gifts here :) There is a modest $5L fee to join the group, most likely for our safety to keep out troublemakers. I really do enjoy this type of group and love tracking down all the generous gifts so I can spread the news.


My first stop was Hot Stuff, where I picked up the flirty Dafne Dress as our gift. The light purple floral pattern with deeper hued trim absolutely caught my eye, and I love the way the style ensures that every curve is cradled and accentuated. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Pushup Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, and Mounds mesh bodies. 


Keep that group tag active and pop on over to YoUnique Couture, so you can claim their Brigitta Duo upstairs with the other group goodies. This sleek mini dress is provided in Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn sizes, with a HUD that lets us pick from the two vibrant colors seen above. Did you notice the sheer lace panels down each side? You'll probably need strapless panties, aka C-string, to wear beneath but if you're like me you probably have dozens already in your inventory :) 


Another fantastic choice for vivid colors is the Selma Dress by BlackbirdLace gift. The diagonal hem and single shouldered style look amazing with the large roses on the pattern, dark and dramatic in the best way :) We receive sizes for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Squeezed mesh bodies in this treat.


Next I shimmied into the bold [Luxury] Livia Dress Gift. It's got lots of sex appeal and a sheen that gives me the impression of latex, with unique cutouts and layers combined into one easy-to-wear piece. There are Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes provided. 


For my final look of the evening, I visited DM Design and picked up their DM ~ Skauna Dress Gift MLM. This blousy strapless mini has a separate belt so you can decide if you wish to wear it with or without, and both of them fit Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Who knew that a tiger stripe pattern looks so great in pale blue? :)

So this cold or whatever's got a hold of me, well it's decided not to let go and to get even worse. I lost my voice last night and still haven't found it again :P  As you can imagine I am awfully tired, so I may take two days off for my weekend instead of just one. Extra rest just might help me get rid of it faster. Otherwise not much to say, other than my usual wish for a beautiful day/evening and many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Jerky Turkey Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to explore the Jerky Turkey Hunt 14, which is a $1L search for bright orange turkey feathers in each participating store. There are plenty of familiar brands taking part, and every single prize is worth so much more than the single little linden we're paying for them :) I always look forward to Evil Bunny Hunts rounds, and knowing that I've enjoyed fourteen of this particular November celebration is a hoot!


My first look of the evening is the ~J~ Jude Jacket prize from The Undiscovered Jewel, a store you certainly need to check out and discover! This cozy knee length jacket has an attached hood, playful collar, and is cinched at the waist before flaring out for a fluttery hemline. There are sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The enclosed vendor photo shows it styled with dark leggings and boots, and I can easily see wearing pumps or sandals with it too. 


Next I headed over to BlondeQueen and tracked down their orange feather, to receive this duo called BQ::Junia Knitted Dress:: Orange & Green. Sometimes the only thing better than one flirty dress is two flirty dresses, right? Each color comes in Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. I've never seen a sweater in RL with such a deep plunging neckline, but it's a perfect idea for SL where that opening stays in place and shares just the right amount of cleavage.


Another stop I always appreciate in any hunt path is Artic Storm, because we get to claim treats like this stunning *AS* Evea Pants Set Simplicity. The top and pants are each included in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The trim on the pants matches the sequined texture of the cropped top just right, all in hues that work ideally for the season.


Don't forget to go to @AdReNaLiZeD@ and grab their Clementine Autumn prize, just by finding that brightly colored feather :) This lovely dress has fall leaves decorating a black background, with lighter brown trim to really highlight things beautifully. It comes in eBody Curvy, Erika, Freya, Freya V-Tech, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Maitreya V-Tech, Hourglass, Physique, Reborn, and Star mesh body sizes. 


For my final look of the night, you'll want to visit *Glitter Bunny* because their feather holds male and female prizes that even coordinate! The TJTH14 Female treat is their Ilvy bodysuit in sizes for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Flat, Low, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Flat, and Reborn bodies, plus the skirt in tight and loose versions which each fit Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. I'm sure you can guess that there's also a HUD, which has 7 choices for each piece. This way you can choose from 6 color variations of the leaf design or the solid orange hue shown on the skirt on the left. These are both the loose skirt version because the tight one was a little too snug for me ;) The only way you'll know is to try them both on of course, and all our shapes tend to be so varied that anything is possible.

It was another icky day with sore throat and achiness, so I'm just trying to stay calm and enjoy hot tea with honey and the occasional throat lozenge. They are only the briefest relief but at this point I'll take what I can get. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Dernier Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the Dernier store, where there are two different groups with a set of generous gifts for each. The free group is my focus of the evening, with 5 currently available treats that you can claim just by clicking. There are two Pride themed goodies among them, so you can celebrate Pride month all year round :) As a side note, the Deluxe group has 4 gifts at the moment and is $250L to join if you are interested, and that is immediately to the left of the free group's gifts and sign to click to join. Lots to see and enjoy!


My first look is the :Dernier: "Move" Visual - Red gift, and wow is it stunning! The catsuit and additional sparkle layer are separate pieces each in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and there are materials HUDs included for the catsuit and boots (which are attached to each other) with 5 layers of gloss to select from. The placement of the hands in various spots intrigued me, as I tried to figure out where someone would have to be standing or if I could have left all those prints on myself ;) 



Another catsuit I couldn't resist is the :Dernier: "Anok" Catsuit - Pride. This gift is similar to the one above with built in stiletto boots, but this one has an intriguing bare shouldered style with little specks that remind me of pixels or glitter across the top :) We receive the catsuit and sparkle layer each in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, along with a materials HUD to choose from 5 gloss settings. About these HUDs, I'm going to say the best thing to do is to click each one and decide which of the five you prefer, as it is a personal preference and there is no wrong answer. 


I do love rainbows and letting my clothing choices reflect my support of the LGBT community, so I'm thrilled with our :Dernier: "Paris" Dress - Pride gift :) It's got versions with or without sparkles (with is on the left above, without right) that each fit Erika, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a materials HUD like the others with 5 gloss settings, and another HUD that you can click to turn the fullbright on or off. Versatility FTW!


Our :Dernier: "Joy" Dress - Peak a Boo gift has a fantastic texture of satiny stripes in plenty of different colors for a very eye-catching result. There are Erika, Erika Juicy Boobs, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya body sizes included, as well as a materials HUD so you can pick from those 5 levels of gloss to make this dress your very own. Personally it depends where I'm wearing it, and what the lighting is there, what kind of shine will make me happiest. 


For my final look tonight, I'm feeling sexy in our :Dernier: "Hellena" Sequin Bodysuit gift. The strapless sweetheart neckline is perfect, and the high cut legs lead to a narrow thong in the rear. We receive sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, with the materials HUD similar to the other gifts offering 5 gloss levels. It is particularly fun to adjust the shine on those sequins, I must admit :) I also kinda want to slip on a sheer floaty skirt over it and just twirl around, lol, as I do enjoy looking like a lunatic while in my skybox alone...it would be a secret if I hadn't just shared that I guess ;)

It was a busy day, but my visit to my family doctor went well, and she confirmed that I do not have strep throat (not that I expected that I do) and just have something viral going around. Nothing specific, but also nothing to be concerned about since my lungs sounded clear and nothing looks infected. I will try raising the dose of my newest medication soon, waiting until I feel better though, and I will send her a message when I've tried it for about a week to update her. I'm enjoying some mint tea with local honey, nice and soothing :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Thankful and Blessed

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm hoping to help you feel Thankful & Blessed, as that is the name of the Cheeky Monkey Hunts event I am sharing :) There are $1L prizes and exclusives of $25L - $50L being offered, each hiding inside cute turkey drawings at each participating store. The designers get to choose which and how many to offer, so you will find the hunt's website useful with prices, photos, and hints for each as well as the landmarks to get you to the correct stores. I am loving the variety this round, and hope you do as well.


My first look of the night is the beautiful $25L exclusive from Simple Terms. Their ST - Harvest Homecoming outfit is a terrific set of blouse, skirt, panties, and shoes that all fit Maitreya and Lara X bodies. They even included a necklace and earrings so you can dress things up if you wish :) Each piece defaulted to the right hand for me, lol, so I had to do some editing that I admit is not my strong point, but that necklace (sorry the earrings are hiding behind my hair) is so worth it! 


Be sure to follow the hints for the JM Store, so you can find both of their offerings starting with the $25L Melanie Exclusive seen here. The dress has the appearance of a sweater tucked into a skirt, but is a single piece that comes in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Kups, Kupra Ups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies. The sage stripes look great on the knit texture of the top, and the skirt has its own very subtle striping going vertically for added fun.


Their $1L turkey contains this .:JM:. Ivy skirt & t-shirt prize, such a wonderful discount! Both pieces are provided in sizing for Classic, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The fronds of greenery on the shirt's pattern really caught my eye, and I always enjoy showing off my shoulders :)


The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is very consistent with offering one of each price point of their wonderfully clever shirts for these hunts, so I'm tickled pink (orange actually?) to share two of the three their turkeys are holding for us. The HAPPY THANK Tee is the $50L exclusive, emblazoned with the words Happy Thanksgiving with a smattering of leaves in lovely seasonal hues. Thanksgiving is really late this year, the 28th, so this will come in handy for a little while :) Then on the right you can see the OH SNAP Tee, which can be yours for just $1L. I've got many fond memories of breaking the wishbone from my grandparents' turkey, and since I was the oldest grandkid and only for 12 years, it was usually my dad or grandpa who wished on the wishbone with me. Funny how I almost always got the bigger piece, almost like they did it on purpose ;) Both of these come in the brand's now-standard unpacking HUD, which offers standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. Just deliver the one you need and hang onto your HUD for future reference.


One final look this evening, there is a $1L turkey at Psyche's Pstyles containing our marvelous Harvest Kitties Dress prize. There is something autumnal about black cats in my mind, so their appearance on this rich burgundy background with wheat stalks and some tiny flowers just feels right to me. I'm also impressed with the bold yellow bodice and skirt inset looking so amazing with the main fabric :) This prize includes a fitmesh M size along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Reborn, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizing. 

The more I hurry, the further behind I fall...I'm sorry I am running a bit late tonight, it's just been that kind of a day/week/month. My sore throat is getting worse, and I am nervous about leaving the house tomorrow for my primary care doctor's visit even though I now need it more. It was supposed to be a follow-up for the new meds, and now it'll be to also make sure this is just a mere cold. If I am too exhausted when I get home, I might skip tomorrow's blog or just do a smaller version, but I will be back ASAP as always :) Hope you're all having a relaxing day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
