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!!

Sweets for SLFO Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring some of the many stores who are a part o the SLFO (SL Frees and Offers) group, looking for treats available for this particular group. You can usually find them near the red and white SLFO group joiner sign, which you can click for a link in local chat in case you aren't already a member of this free group. I'm sure you can tell that I highly recommend them :) I've shared their gifts here many times before, and fully intend to do so in the future from time to time. 

First up, we see the flirty ALWAYS BLOSSOM Nicole Amethyst Jumpsuit. This gift is up on their 3rd floor, so you'll want to click next to the elevator doors where it says the floor and description to teleport up there. This one piece outfit is designed for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with a strip across the bust and a playful opening beneath to show off some midriff. If you're a fan of purple as I am, this color is a bonus reason to pick up this terrific gift :)

Belle Epoque has an intriguing outfit for us to claim, their Stephy GIFT. Who knew that black and white tweed could be so flirty and versatile? The top, sleeves, and skirt are all provided in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The sleeves being separate is handy so we can choose to leave them off if we wish, although I'm really enjoying the way they are surrounded by crisscrossed laces that mimic the sides of the skirt. This brand is so consistent with high quality and style that I am not even surprised, just impressed :)

We all need some humor in our lives, so the Tastic-High Five Top gift just might bring some to your day. There is also a matching gift for the guys, and they both read "Some people just need a high-five...in the face...with a chair" with a woozy looking emoji. Now I'm not one to advocate violence, but I also did spend much of the late 90s watching wrestling in person that often involved chairs and other accessories (ECW, if you know you know) so I did think of scripted entertainment. I would never take this shirt as instructions, but I will wear it as a warning that I am not in the mood for someone else's nonsense (the block button is my only weapon). There is a fitmesh M size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizes included. 

If you crave something sleek and flirty, be sure to pick up the LUXE Paris BLUEBERRY Dress group gift :) The dusky shade of blue gives a lovely and elegant look to our strapless mini dress, just like the ruffle along the top. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided. 

My final look of the evening is our *Stars*Fashion* Siren gift, which is so versatile and sassy! The cropped top and micro miniskirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. There's also a HUD to let us select from 10 colors each for our top and the skirt's belt, upper, and lower portions. I've chosen contrasting hues for upper and lower on both views above to show you the fun styling, but it'll look just as striking if you choose all one shade for the entire outfit. 

My dental visit went pretty smoothly yesterday, but I was certainly too tired and groggy to even think about attempting a blog post last night ;) As for today, well it was nice until a few moments ago when the housemate informed me that the dreaded house-pest guest is coming this weekend, bleh. That makes my safe space feel so much less safe, as he is a peculiar and unfriendly type person who sets off all my inner alarm bells. Housemate has been friends with him for over 30 years though, so I don't think I am genuinely in danger other than the usual cat dander from his clothing giving me allergy and asthma issues for several days. It's just one of those things, and I'm mostly annoyed that somehow the dentist wasn't the scariest or worst part of my week after all. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary Cosmopolitan

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a celebration of the Cosmopolitan Event and their 14th anniversary, part two since it's their second round of April. They are each about two weeks long, so this one just opened today and goes until the 25th :) Their group is free to join, and there are plenty of generous gifts (mostly in black bags) as a nod to the special occasion. I've been a fan of Cosmo for ages and am so delighted that they are still as successful as always, so I offer huge congratulations to them and best wishes for the future.

I started out feeling a bit Barbie-like (the hair and the colors I chose on the left, LOL) in a very good way, with our [hh] Dayra Skirt Set gift from Hilly Haalan. The halter top and miniskirt are each provided in Gen X Classic, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 30 options for each piece, mostly solids but some fun patterns as well. There's also a BOM panty included that is tintable, so it can match any of the colors you choose. 

Sometimes our gifts are playful separates that can be combined with each other or anything we already have and love :) The FashionNatic - Asami Top GIFT COSMO is a slip of a tube top in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Nerido, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. The soft colors and daisy pattern are lovely touches. I added some pizazz with the Jingle Belle Shorts by LAP Pink, with an irresistible sequined pattern that is ready to sparkle and shimmer when you move. We receive Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizing, along with a HUD to choose from non-PBR or PBR texturing. This way you can see the sequins no matter which viewer you are currently running.

Blackstone has a fantastic gift for us too, their Eisha Set - Petrol. The deep turquoise color is captivating, and I'm in love with the playful sheer ruffles on the also translucent striped blouse :) It and our ruffled skirt are provided in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD for the belt (built into the skirt) offering 20 belt hues and 6 metals. 

Here I swapped out the blouse for our charming ::insanya:: Celine Top Gift. Halter tops always catch my attention, and this one has a pale blue floral pattern that is perfect for spring. There really is something about daisies that always makes me smile :) The gift includes lots of sizes, too - Freya Natural, Freya Perky, Isis, Venus, Kupra Bimbo, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya V-Tech, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The vendor photo inside notes that this color is included in the flower power pack, so if you're buying that or already have it, no need to pick up this gift.

I decided to wrap up this post with a tasty treat, which would be the .FOODIE. Mini Birthday Cake gift :) There are left and right hand versions, each with a hold pose built in. The square cake is decorated with a bow and has gold Happy Birthday lettering in front of it on the square plate. What flavor do we think it is? My guess is strawberry, but with our imaginations it can be anything we wish.

It was a warm and decent day here, with my thermometer showing 73.6 in this room at the moment. It was 76.4 when I was in here for my support group session, so you'd better believe the fan was on the whole time! My hockey team made the playoffs for the first time in 6 years, so that is worth celebrating too. I probably raised the heat in here by screaming so much, LOL, but it was a really exciting game that had to go to overtime and then a shootout. Tomorrow I've got a dentist visit (cleaning) so no blog post as I'll be in a post-nitrous haze, probably assisted by the muscle relaxer that has been helping some with my neck. I'm somewhat nervous but maybe a little less than the last few dental appointments, just a minor positive I am noticing :) Meanwhile I hope you're all having a magnificent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Treats from Selene Creations

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to Selene Creations, whose group is currently free to join. They have several lucky boards for the group, as well as a wall filled with group gifts for free :) When you land, please walk in, go upstairs, and head to the back right room. They have several vendors that we can arrow through, and then we click the central/largest image for the menu with "deliver" as an option, thus receiving it for free with that group tag. The gifts are labeled by month, which is helpful to avoid duplication and to know if your newer body's size might be available or not. For example, the older ones won't have Lara X, but still show their sizes in the image that I have 1 or 2 bodies (Maitreya, Legacy usually) that will look fantastic in the gift :) I know that some people are quite loyal to their body version and don't like to switch, and that is absolutely everyone's personal decisions to make. I always make a point to list the sizes of each item I share, so you know before you get there if the clothing will work with your particular favorite body. With all of these wonderful gifts here at Selene Creations, you can bet I'll be sharing more soon!

It seemed logical to start with the most recent gift, the [Selene Creations] gift april 2026 dress. This strapless mini is designed to hug every curve, with a really fun blue and gold leopard print :) There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies included. I'm sure I've got plenty of pretty gold jewelry in my inventory that would go great with this, and blue or gold shoes would look 🔥. 

Our [Selene Creations] gift february 2024 is a super sexy dress that is cut daringly high on the left side, and cinched with a pretty belt tied above the bared thigh. We receive sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Hourglass, Kubra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs bodies. I'd definitely add a C-string (coochie cover?) for a little modesty before heading out in public, but fortunately I've got plenty from other revealing outfits. I love the shade of lavender and those gorgeous hibiscus flowers!

Another treat you won't want to miss is our [Selene Creations] gift july 2025 dress. The mix of solid and patterned section is so eye catching, and the intricate artwork reminds me of the inner leaf of a book :) This beauty fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

Next I changed into another gift with an intriguing pattern, this time monochromatic daisies. It's the [Selene Creations] gift march 2024 which looks like a dress but is actually a separate top and skirt, which does allow for the possibility of mixing things up with other wardrobe staples if you wish. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Legacy Classic, and Reborn mesh bodies provided. The sweetly ruffled shoulder straps caught my attention as much as the wrapped skirt which also sports a fun ruffle :)

One last look of the evening, we have the glitzy and glamorous [Selene Creations] gift decembre 2024 dress. Its sequined texture is a showstopper for sure, and looks especially pretty in this color :) Claim this gift and you'll receive Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

I joked with Xan earlier that I was going to forget how to blog after two nights off in a row, LOL, but it's all good :) My appointment went well Friday and I got a very low dose of muscle relaxers for my neck and shoulder, which does seem to be helping a little. The farmers market was windy but nice, with tasty food as usual :) I even enjoyed my therapy session this evening, so all in all a pleasant weekend here. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fashion Sales Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're headed to an Easter Bunny Hunt organized by the Fashion Sales! group, but I assure you that the prizes are not limited to the holiday :) It is still well worth the visit, open until the 15th and loaded with free group gifts and $25L hunt prizes. The landing area has signs with the hunt keys on them from the various stores, and those items to find look like stickers to me...flat, white borders, images of various adorable bunnies. What I'm sharing is the group gifts, found in larger objects which are a cloud with a rainbow above, sleepy bunny snoozing on the cloud while cuddling with an egg. Some had the word GIFT on it and others did not, some were set for sale for $0L but most needed the Fashion Sales! group tag to click and receive for free. They are as cute as they sound if not more, so it was a real pleasure to seek them out. While I do wish I'd found out about this sooner, I would have been very sorry to miss out on exploring the beautifully decorated shopping area :)

One of the brands you'll see at the event is Sugar Dolls, and they've got lots of gifts for us like this [SD] EMBER bodysuit. There are two versions for each size, one labeled Blink, and I didn't see a difference so I am wearing the Blink version to see if anyone else can tell :) Those sizes would be Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with an impressive 53 textures each for the two sections (labeled top and skirt, but really main and edges) including some Christmas type prints. I chose solids that don't really speak to any particular season. The main portion is sheer, so you probably noticed the solid panties that are built in beneath it. 

I also wanted to share their beautiful [SD] ARIAH gift I found. It consists of the top, skirt, and panties, each in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing, plus a very useful HUD. That has 25 textures each for sections 1 and 3, and 50 each for sections 2 and 4 (top and skirt) as well as 50 for section 5. If I recall that was the panties coloring, and 1 and 3 would be straps and the tied belt. It looks like the top and skirt get more texture choices because some are fishnet and others are gorgeous lace, so I made sure to show off both of those :) 

MIDNIGHT also had some gifts out for us, like this flirty {MD} 101 FATPACK. The saucy dress is lowered with both straps down, but the hem is short enough to show off our (also lowered) panties just so ;) Each of these are provided in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The bandaid pasties are BOM layers in 9 different colors to coordinate with the hues you select from the outfit's HUD, which has 44 choices apiece for the dress, straps, panties, and bow on the front of the panties. 

My favorite color looks terrific on our [SD] CLAIR - PINK gift from Sugar Dolls. The top, sleeves, skirt in 2 versions, and leg metals are each included in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. We can wear the top with or without sleeves since they're separate, and either skirt is a perfect option :) Those chains are really something, going fro the waist to upper thigh then wrapping around again above the knee. 

For my final look of the evening, I've slipped into the playful [SD] ASHIE gift from Sugar Dolls. The folder will say Zaila instead, so I think the unpacker has the wrong name in the scripting or something :) That's okay, the outfit looks great with any name! Our sexy top and jeans are both laced loosely to show off some skin, and we receive those plus a belly chain that will all fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, Squeeze, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's also a HUD inside that offers 27 choices each for the top, images on the top, and the pants, plus 5 metals for the belly chain. 

My neck and shoulder are still quite sore, but I am headed to the doctor (primary care) tomorrow so perhaps she can offer some help. Meanwhile I won't have time to prep a blog post tomorrow or Saturday, so I will see all of you fine folks on Sunday evening instead :) The wait is always so long at this office, but I do like the doctor and she is worth battling through the anxiety to see. I have a dentist visit next week so that'll be another day off from blogging, lol, but fortunately April isn't a super busy month with tons and tons of things I must share immediately. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Drizzle and Dazzle Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is time to hunt for some sparkly diamonds, for the CMH Drizzle and Dazzle hunt. It makes me think of April showers, which make me look forward to the May flowers they bring :) The hunt object is a side view of a diamond, and each designer gets to choose which price and how many to hide - $1L hunt prizes or $25L - $50L exclusive offers. Personally I like the idea of an exclusive outfit at a bargain like that, and the dollarbie prizes are usually quite special too. Cheeky Monkey Hunts has some incredible designers each round, so be sure to peek at their hunt website to see the previews as well as links, prices, and hints to find your shinies. These diamonds really are ready to be your best friend!

I'm singing in the rain...this lovely look is our $25L exclusive offer from Harambee-Gwassi called Purple french Coat set. You do get a lot included for the $25L too, starting of course with the coat dress in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's a thong hiding under there that fits Altamura, Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, while the matching stilettos fit Altamura, Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique feet. We're not done yet though, as that pretty umbrella I'm holding has 2 versions (solid and the pattern shown) with the hold pose that you see here, and there is even an add-on called Perfect Rain that is certainly living up to the hype :) Feel free to wear just the parts that suit your destination or mood. I always like to remind folks that this particular store is raising money for charity for schools in Kenya, so our purchases should make us feel good as well as look good. 

There is something so soothing about looking outside and watching furry critters scampering around, and I do sometimes see cuties like the squirrels pictured on our CloudNine Her Liquid Sunshine V1 prize (one of 2 dollarbies, His being the other) but my local ones don't usually play with umbrellas ;) There are two versions of this terrific cap sleeve t-shirt, with one slightly lighter blue and reading "You are liquid sunshine" then the darker shade of blue has similar "Liquid sunshine" wording beneath the squirrel duo. Each comes in sizing for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies.

We can also find a $1L diamond at Hello Uglies, which holds the HU - Bree CMH Special. If you prefer your fashions to lean Goth or Punk, this is the place for you! We receive the fluttery cropped tank top in Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizes. That design on the front is so intriguing, a grapevine wreath made into a pentacle with a few spring blossoms adorning it :) 

I never pass up an excuse to visit @rOrO, so paying just $1L for their Ulla Top Spring is almost too easy of a decision. The unique style of softly ruffled edges and halter neckline looks beautiful with the neon butterflies pattern, and they really pop against either the white or black backgrounds. Each of these comes in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The white jeans are from the Delizio fatpack that you can find for free on the marketplace.

For my last outfit of the evening, I chose the Psyche's Pstyles Parasols in the Park prize which can be yours too for just $1L. The top has lovely puffed sleeves and a sweetheart neckline, while the high waisted skirt has delicate pleats arounds its brief hem. Both of these are provided in Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, and Mounds mesh body sizes, along with a HUD for each that offers 5 colors. Did you notice the playful pattern of umbrellas? Well they look terrific in any color you select, whether you mix things up or match them to a tee. 

My neck is still annoyingly sore, but otherwise it was a quiet and peaceful day here. I'm still using heat (bed buddy, long microwaveable heating pad) and advil, which help in the moment for sure. Sneezing isn't very fun, lol, and allergy season is hitting pretty hard on that front. Oh well, at least there is no pollen in SL :) Okay there probably is, but my avatar doesn't seem to have a problem with it. I hope you're all having a great day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Kiyomizu Mall Hunting

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I finally had a chance to complete the Kiyomizu Spring 2026 hunt for cute ninja cats, which starts at the Kiyomizu Mall and also has us visiting several mainstores of the brands found here. The best way to navigate is to click one of the floating ghosts above the walkways of the open mall, who will give you a personalized link to show you the cats that you've found and the ones you still need to seek out. You can't refresh the page though, so you will need to click another ghostie when you want a new listing. Did you know that the mall is named for the Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple in Kyoto? While there is a temple on the grounds, I had to do a little googling to find that out :) I haven't visited many places in RL so I love learning about them through SL! By the way, the hunt is entirely free with no group needed, and is open until the 12th of April. 

For my first look of the evening, I found the ninja kitty at Shiorin's Mart with their =CS= Female Sportswear 101 prize inside. It is a single piece sweatsuit in lovely purple with white stripes, and I 💗 Kiyomizu on the front with an image of the temple and same text on the back. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies included. It is a fun way to remember the hunt, and let people know where to visit if they want to do some sightseeing.

I don't usually choose favorites, but if pressed I would have to admit that the SHOP KERO Bird Dress touched something special in my heart. You know by now that I adore birds of all kinds, and some seasons do have feathered associations like cardinals for winter and robins for spring. There are lots of species on the various textures for this dress too, thanks to its HUD offering 12 different prints and arrows to adjust the proportions of the pattern or reset it with the circle in between those arrows. The dress is provided in a fitmesh M size along with Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizing.

MeltingDots freebie store is another wonderful stop on the hunt path, and I'm delighted by their Spring Outfit 2026 v2 prize. The frilly top, separate sleeves, pants, and boots are all included, with a fitmesh M size as well as sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. I'm sure you guessed there are HUDs as well :) The main outfit HUD has 6 choices each for top and pants with arrows to adjust the transparency of the sleeves and the pattern proportions on the top. Then the boots HUD has 6 solid colors to mix and match with the clothing :) The button fly jeans styling is such a classic, and the ankle boots fit mid height feet with ease.

Next we visit Mumu's Shop to claim their sweet *R&R* @O Spring Cat outfit. This prize is a one piece sweater and miniskirt combo, in a single size with an alpha layer to help it fit most bodies. It is made even cuter by the cat face on the front, don't you think?

My final look of the night is a doubly delightful prize from [:] colon colon, their 2026 03 LimitedNail package. There are two different applier HUDs inside for the Maitreya/Lara X mesh bodies, one with the gorgeous pink on the upper/left part of this image and the other slightly deeper shade with alternating fingers sporting a subtle floral design on the lower/right. I adore them both, and they are certainly fun for spring :)

My neck is still pretty sore, but I am using heat and taking advil so all I can do now is just cross my fingers (in spirit) and maybe it'll calm down with some rest. I did sleep a little better this time, so that is a slight improvement :) So no plans for the week other than relaxing until Friday, when my primary care doctor visit has been rescheduled a week early. That makes next week less chaotic so it's a good thing. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
