Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some group gifts to share, for the FabFree group which is short for Fabulously Free in SL. They are not only an inworld group filled with information on bargains and gifts galore, but they are a blog that I have relied upon for guidance since my earliest days in SL, back when I was still learning to adjust prim skirts because mesh wasn't an option yet. They kept me from being an utter fashion don't, and to dress in a way that suited me while being affordable. The group is free to join, and there are many participating designers who offer group gifts to any visitor with their tag active. I will also be showing you a really fun outfit from Entice at Rewind Y2K, a time in fashion I remember with fondness and amusement. There were bold colors and adventurous styles, and I think the Entice offering embraces those ideas very well.
This first gift for the FabFree group is from the YM SHOP, and is called Althea Split Dress. It is provided in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) with a HUD that offers 12 different colors for the dress. When you arrive at the store, you don't even need to enter to locate this dress...look to the right, the outside front wall, and you will see the rainbow striped FabFree sign with 2 gifts beneath it.
I did mention two gifts, well the other generous FabFree treat from YM SHOP is this Dandy Outfit, with all those components combined into one easy-to-wear piece in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. There is also a texture HUD with this gift as well, 8 buttons to explore and see what playful color combos they display.
I combined two different gifts for this look, but feel free to pair them each with your favorite wardrobe staples. The top is from [satus Inc.] called Rye Tied Straight Top Pink, and comes in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and fitmesh standard versions. The skirt is the Brit Skirt from Revelation, a high waisted mini with lacing up the front and a gently fluttery style that looks beautiful in all of the 18 textures on the included HUD. That handy HUD also offers 6 colors for the laces in the front, so lots of variety here. The skirt itself is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. To find this gift in the store, look on the other side of the wall behind the front desk and you'll see several different group signs, then beneath there are some packages. The pink one on the far left is the FabFree gift, and should be the only one to distribute a gift when clicked while wearing the correct group tag. I hope that explanation makes sense, it just wasn't labeled and I am hoping to be helpful :)
Our FabFree gift from Tiar called Noa, is delightful for spring with its soft coloring and delicate texture, not to mention the long sleeves with slits to reveal glimpses of our arms. The gift comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, and I'm giving directions again to find a gift...hehe...when you land, the main store is the building to your west (this is why my mini map is always open, just in case) so head west and go inside, through several open doorways to the back wall. You will see the FabFree group sign back there along with the gift to click and claim.
Head to the Rewind Y2K event and you can pick up these fantastic offers from Entice. My top is the Entice - Good Vibrations Top - Fatpack and is $450L for 10 gorgeous colors or $150L for your choice of 8 individual shades. There are 2 in the fatpack that are exclusives to it alone. Sizes include Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The tops can be mixed and matched perfectly with the Good Vibrations Leggings & Boots, available at Rewind as a fatpack for $450L. There are 10 textures for the leggings and 10 matching colors for the boots on the included HUD. The leggings/boots combo comes in the same mesh sizes as the top. Those textures really drew me to them, and the vivid colors of the top and boots complement the prints so well. The Rewind event is open until the 5th of March, so you have a few days left to stop by and enjoy. As usual, the Entice mainstore link is in my right sidebar, and the event link is in my ending credits.
Hair note of the night- Truth Hair has a new release at their mainstore, much sooner than expected after technical difficulties that prevented him from being able to offer it at this round of Uber. But don't worry, he is actually offering it at his mainstore for the discounted event price for a limited time :) As I am sure you guessed, it is the hair I'm wearing tonight, and its name is Polly. She comes with a Stylist HUD so you can flip the hair from the pony to either side or both sides, and have hair in the back or all off to the side, with a few different options for the bangs as well. My suggestion is to grab the demo and play with that HUD to see all the ways it can be styled. I did so and obviously could not resist picking up my favorite Redhead color set.
Not a great day here, a scheduling snafu meant that my dentist could not take care of my little cavities today so I just had a cleaning and will have to go back in almost 2 weeks for the main event. I get to worry the entire time until then, yay! That would be the anxiety talking of course. I'll be okay, just need to focus on other things in the meantime. SL provides a great distraction, especially when the new month brings new hunts and events. I hope you're all having a better day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! If you enjoy group gifts and bargains, I have some special selections to show you today. The group gifts are all from the MONOMANIA store, for various groups that have come up on my blog before. The bargain is one of several offers from LIVIA at The Avenue White Nights, which ends on the 27th so you have just today and tomorrow to visit and purchase some top quality manicures at 35% off.
This first gift is the MONOMANIA Tropicalia dress, which needs the SLF&O group tag (free to join) to claim it. For all of today's gifts please follow the signs to the group gifts room, then head upstairs for the assorted groups in addition to the store's own group. This chic maxi dress comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The stripes, swirls, and dark trim make this a fine choice for any season in my opinion.
Next you will need to change to the group tag for The Free Dove, also free to join, so you can claim this ChicWaves Blue Moon gown. The elegance of the wrap style with drape in the back is accentuated by the bold navy color, and will flatter your body in standard mesh sizes, a fitted version, and sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique.
Are you a member of the Fitmesh Fanatics group? If not, you can click the sign above this gift and join for free, and either way you can use that group tag to claim the lovely MONOMANIA Dear Juliet - Pink Floral Dress. It is a flirty style with two different flowered patterns, fun straps in the back, and it comes in the lucky 13 of sizes with an additional 5 standard "busty" versions.
Another way to look pretty in pink is to wear the Third Life group tag ($10L to join) and claim this MONOMANIA Candy dress. It is the same basic style as the first dress I shared, and in the same lucky 13 of mesh sizes, but in a sweet shade of pink with tiny dots on the skirt and some really pretty lace trim. I think it has a romantic feel to it.
It was very difficult to choose which set of LIVIA nails to show you because there are 3 stunning choices on sale at The Avenue White Nights, but with the strong colors of the dresses I decided to go with the beautiful Charm Nails. The applier HUD is compatible with Slink, Omega, Maitreya, and Vista Bento, with 8 designs as shown above. I love the jewel tones of all these rich colors, and the tiny gems in the center are just the icing on the cake. This HUD is just $65L and there are other choices for the same low price, just be sure to visit before tomorrow night :) As usual, the LIVIA mainstore is in my right hand column, and the link in the credits will whisk you directly to the event.
I meant to post this last night, had the photos ready yesterday and sat down to start blogging when a terrible headache sidetracked me completely. There was no way I could compose a blog post when it was hard to keep both eyes open and focused, although I admit I almost tried. The good news is that the headache is mostly gone, and other health issues that were flaring up are settling down as well. I do apologize for the delay, and I am hoping that tomorrow's dentist appointment (3 little fillings, bleh) does not cause another delay or missed day altogether but it is a possibility. Meanwhile I hope you are all having a terrific day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have just one place for you to visit, because I did a considerable amount of hunting there and am eager to share these terrific hunt prizes from Applique` Chic. I will specify each hunt name and the price (all either $0L or $1L) under each photo, and the signs outside the store will show you samples of each hunt object for the most part. They are not overly tricky to find, so the fact that I didn't have hints was not even an issue. As general suggestions, I will say to peek near the desk/cash register area, and check any words that let you know what section you are in. Just think, you can wrap up your weekend with one single teleport and spending just a few lindens to gather up all the treats I am happy to show you tonight.
My first look of the evening is the AC: Hearts Full Hoodie for the Wheres Cupid 2 Hunt, a single linden prize hiding inside a red heart. This snuggly knit jacket comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ocacin, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. Just a quick note, there are two different red hearts as hunt objects in the store right now, a flat prim image and a more sculpted (mesh?) one, this is the second. I am about to share the prize inside the flat prim red heart though...
This is the Blooming Love Dress, which is $1L and the Love Hunt prize found inside a flat prim heart. The print on the skirt is beautiful and is really complemented by the solid color, subtly textured top. It is included in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine.
The hunt prize that actually inspired this post is this lovely dress called Vintage Valentine Dress, and is the $1L reward for finding the Sealed With A Kiss Hunt envelope. You also have the option of purchasing it for $25L (sign outside) if you prefer not to hunt or cannot find it. When I unpacked it, I saw the notecard inside with photos of all their current hunt prizes and I was clearly impressed, so here we are :) This sleek style with the sweetheart neckline is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions.
This flirty dress is the free prize from the Romancify Your Body Hunt called Bling Valentine Dress. It is hiding inside a silver key, and comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP fits. I love how the halter neck leads to those two long straps in the back, it is a clever style and the hearts are an extra sweet touch. With the color scheme they aren't overly sweet though, so still has an appeal to a wide range of tastes.
My final look of the night is a seductive prize called Valentine Blues Cami, and is the $1L hunt prize for the In The Mood Hunt. It is hiding inside a flat prim blue heart, and the name of that object is actually New Year New You Hunt which threw me for quite a loop at first...just so you know, that hunt was last month and the object was firecrackers, so the blue heart you see is definitely the correct one for In The Mood :) Our pretty camisole comes in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with garter belts that make adding your favorite thigh high stockings a fun possibility.
Whew, today was quite an adventure! I wound up not being able to sleep much, less than an hour, before going out for 6 hours, a great deal of which was spent walking around, sometimes in misty drizzle type rain. I got about a 3 hour nap and really could have used more, hehe, but I'm happy to be here in my little blogging world. I hope you are all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some more Sealed With A Kiss prizes to show you, because one day simply wasn't enough to appreciate these $1L treats :) You will be searching for a white envelope with a red lip print on it, using the hints on the website or on some of the signs in the stores, and if you prefer to purchase instead of hunt you do have the option of buying the prize for $25L at each location. That is still a bargain for these finely crafted prizes, so it is helpful to have that choice. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt and usually have Xan accompanying me on hunts, so I will always at least try to find the hidden one. All of the ones I'm showing you are ones I did succeed in finding the hidden one so I did only pay the $1L for them, but no shame in making your own decision and doing what suits you best.
Our first visit this evening is to Loordes of London, where I was happy to claim their The Metic Status #1 which is this off the shoulder, long sleeved dress with the lovely design on the skirt. The hem comes to a slight point in the front and back, which really adds interest, and the prize includes standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version.
The prize from Adelle Arts is this vivid print jumpsuit in fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. Also included are the bracelet and necklace with resize scripts built in for a perfect fit, and the matching sandals in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Mid sizes. I also enjoyed that the bright golden chain belt is an attached part of the jumpsuit, so it requires no special adjusting or fitting.
S&B has a great gift for us, also simply called Sealed With A Kiss Hunt, and it is a romantic strapless dress with great details. It includes sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and standard fitmesh sizing. The lacing and bold belt buckle contrast nicely against the red and white of the panels and hearts.
The saying on this prize from Facepalm really caught my attention in a meaningful way. This is their Broken cropped hoodie in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The text reads "Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together" which I think can resonate with most of us. I am wearing my Delizio jeans from the Marketplace with this shirt, in blue, they are a free gift that appears here frequently on my blog :)
For my last look of the night, I am having fun showing off our prize from LUNA Body Art, which are a full set of their Metal Heart Nails. There are 10 designs, each provided on appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Tuty, Vista Bento, and Slink. The impressive variety of designs features deep crimson, creamy gold, and even some black hearts, with glittery options as well. Just because it is past Valentine's Day does not mean that it's too late to show a little love to your nails, as I happily do year round.
My evening got a bit weird, or should I say weirder than usual? As soon as I sat down to work on my blog (step one = editing photos) I was asked for a favor, and it involved hair dye. I think someone owes me a nice lunch or a sweet treat or something ;) Fortunately both can be found at the farmers' market I usually visit on Saturdays, so I have high hopes for that wish to be fulfilled. Meanwhile I hope that all of you have a fantastic weekend ahead, with many magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I will be sharing some hunt prizes from the Sealed With A Kiss Hunt, which is a gridwide $1L hunt that also offers you the option to purchase each prize for $25L if you prefer not to hunt (or just cannot locate one) but still want the prize. The hunt object is a little white envelope with a red lip print, so they do appear to be sealed with a kiss :) There are hints available on the website and on many of the signs in the stores, which also helps serve as an example to see exactly what you are searching for. The site is helpful in showing prize previews as well, so I do recommend having it open while you hunt.
This prize gave me a much needed chuckle, so if it tickles your funny bone please head to Hopes Creations and find their envelope. It contains their [HC] SWAK Hunt Shirt, in standard fitmesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. There is a HUD also provided that lets you choose from 3 different colors, each with its own image, such as the two seen above. The third one you don't see here is a light pink that says Never Been Kissed.
Next we have another terrific top, this time from Sin Original called Catalina Hoodie. This cropped cutie is included in sizes for eBody, Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. I love the way the more subtle lip prints are brought out by the larger bright one in the front and center, with Kiss written beneath it. In this photo as well as the one before, I am wearing a favorite Marketplace gift of mine, jeans from Delizio that come in several different colors as system layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega. This is the blue version, a solidly traditional choice that I reach for time and time again.
Magnolia Designs has a really intriguing prize waiting inside their envelope for us, and they have no hint listed so I will just remind you to be sure to look upstairs as well as on the main floor :) The gift starts with the Cupid Dress in sizes for EVE pulpy, EVE slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, with a thong in appliers for EVE, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. Then we can add the jewelry, the Heart Gem earrings and matching necklace, with the final component being the gorgeous feathery wings with a resize script built in. Wear it all at once, or just the parts that suit your mood, this prize is a real showstopper.
With the prize from RIISE, we can bundle up in style and in our choice of colors. When I arrived at their store I saw signs saying it is coming soon, but the hunt sign is outside, so I read the hint again and looked around outside the store...there is a little building across from the store that might catch your eye ;) That said, our prize is this Scarlett Sweater Dress, which comes in standard sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. There is also a handy HUD that offers 15 different colors for the main part of the sweater, and you know I am a huge fan of having the ability to change colors to shake things up a bit.
For my final look of the evening, I am pleased to show you the romantic prize from Go Frock Yourself called GFY-Kiss From A Rose Nail Appliers. There are HUDs included for Belleza, Omega, and Slink, with 3 background colors for our beautiful blooms. There is a lovely glossiness to these designs too, which I think suits the roses very well. Just find the hidden envelope and claim these for only $1L.
Hair note of the night: yesterday, Truth Hair released their new VIP Group Gift called Carla, and I chose the Redhead HUD from among all the fatpack of colors for my familiar auburn shade. The group is not free to join, but if you are a fan like me, the monthly exclusive gifts are worth it. There will probably be a new release in a couple of days for Uber, and if so there is a good chance that I will be trying maniacally to get into a crowded sim to pick that up too ;)
Today was fairly busy, so I am tired but have lots still to do before I sleep again. I had acupuncture needles in my toes for the first time so that was interesting, LOL, only one was uncomfortable and just for a few seconds though. Tomorrow and the next day will be hectic, but I am looking forward to most of it. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight's title might seem a bit confusing, but it will make sense once I explain what you will be seeing tonight. I decided to check to see what new Third Life group gifts were available to pick up and share, and one of them led me to an event called Garden of Shadows. The Third Life group is a very useful source of information on sales as well as their tag entitling you to gifts from many designers across the grid, and it has a modest $10L joining fee to discourage spammers. Honestly any single one of the gifts alone is worth far more than that, so I do not mind having paid that in the least :) The Garden of Shadows event lasts until the 28th of each month, but it seems the March round is listed as ending March 2nd so you have more than a week remaining to visit. Most displays have gifts averaging around $10L each, but I did find a few for less, even a couple of freebies, so I highly recommend looking around. I tend to explore anywhere I visit automatically to see what they offer and get a feel for their general style, and that habit has come in handy at times.
This first look is a Third Life group gift found at the Garden of Shadows, which is what led me on this adventure :) It is from [WitchCraft] and named Ruby Dress, and is not at their display but is on a column in the middle of the room with a couple of gifts for other groups. The gift includes sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. The heart cutouts and floral design certainly add romance to this alluring dress.
Be sure to visit the Emberotic's display at the Garden of Shadows event, and you will find this terrific gift for free! Such a pretty halter style mini, with heart cutouts (a popular idea, and rightly so) with red sequins accented by light pink trim. This gift contains sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP, and no group tag is needed to claim this for free.
It actually was a coincidence that I also visited the Emberotic's mainstore to pick up their Third Life group gift today too, and as you can see it is the same beautiful style but with a different trim at the hem and high waist. Just wear your Third Life group tag and you can claim this for free, in the same sizes as the one in the prior photo.
The warmer weather here has me thinking about spring and summer activities, and for those near the ocean or a lake, that can certainly involve a boat. In SL, boating is even easier and more available for all, but what to wear? Keep your Third Life group tag active and head to Xtravagance so you can claim their May Sailor Dress Gift. This playful strapless dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with anchors on the skirt and a bright red tie at the neckline for a jolt of color that mimics traditional uniforms. Nautical themed outfits can be fun for when you are on solid ground too of course, they are a classic fashion.
For my final look of the night, I kept that Third Life group tag active and visited Sweet Desire, where I was very happy to find their ::[SD]:: Hilary Outfit as the group gift. The top and skirt are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, plus there are color HUDs for each with 20 matching colors to choose from. This means you can change it up with a few quick clicks, matching or contrasting your favorite shades however you wish.
I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some more So Blue Hunt prizes to show you, since there were so many that really caught my eye. To remind you about the hunt, it is a $1L gridwide hunt where you will be looking for a blue heart that reads So Blue and has lights around the outer edge of the heart. The theme is winter blues or "so lonely" anti-Valentines Day blues, with the vast majority of the prizes being blue in color. They certainly cheered me up, and I hope they brighten your day too.
Sometimes a furry friend (or feathered, scaly, etc.) is just what is needed to chase away the blues, like the sweet feline face and paws on this prize from Waffles. It is their Blue Ice Snow Cat Angelika LS Dress, and comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. As a hint in addition to the one on the website, I will add a general reminder that Waffles store has floors for mens and womens items as well as the landing area level, just use the teleporter pad on the floor to navigate.
This sexy number is our $1L hunt prize from COVETED! called Blue Jean for Mesh Bodies. It is included in Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and will flatter your curves by wrapping them in denim and lace. That zipper is a terrific detail too. Just find the hidden blue heart to claim this bargain.
My next visit was to Grey's Mind Maze, an enchanting place to visit by the way, and I was delighted to find their heart which contains their So Blue? Pah! Dress in standard mesh sizes. It makes me long to be near the ocean, or gazing up at a starry night sky. Enjoy the vivid images on this lovely gown for just $1L when you locate that heart.
Frostbitten Designs has a striking blue dress with a really short hem, their So Blue Dress, tucked inside their heart waiting for you to find it. It includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with a HUD that offers 6 textures to choose from. Disclosure, the HUD did not work for me, but occasionally HUDs get glitchy for me and things tend to be weird in SL on Tuesdays, so I will try again tonight.
For my final look of the evening, I went a bit more casual with a sassy twist :) The top I am wearing is actually a Free Dove gift that you can claim with their free group tag, from [DR] called Mini Top Heart Maitreya & Belleza II. The gift does include appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega, along with a system layer. You can probably guess that the pants would be the hunt prize then, and you'd be right. They are the Dark Inc. I'm so blue pants applier, just $1L when you locate their blue heart, in an Omega applier for any compatible mesh body to enjoy. The blue is subtle here, as accents rather than the main color, and I thought that was a fun touch.
It was a surprisingly nice day out, and tomorrow will be even warmer, so no winter blues here at the moment. I guess that means the hunt prizes worked ;) I was glad to be out to enjoy it, and I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening too. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
