Thankful and Blessed

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are on the hunt for turkeys, thanks to the CMH Thankful and Blessed Hunt. No actual turkeys, pixel or RL, shall be harmed of course, as we are just paying them each a small bribe to give up the special prize hidden in their care, either $1L or exclusive offers for $25L or $50L each. All are flat prim images of a slightly cartoonish looking gobbler, with an example on the hunt sign in each store that can be clicked for a hint. The hints are all on the hunt blog too, along with links to each store and preview images where available. Many thanks to Cheeky Monkey Events for another fantastic gridwide hunt, which as you'll see on their website is just one of many things they organize and bring to our Second Life. This is a sponsored post but my appreciation is sincere and from the heart ♥.


My first look features two of the 3 treats we can find at The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co., one at each price point. The shirt on the left above is their I HATE PUMPKIN SPICE Tee which is the $1L prize. I truthfully don't hate pumpkin spice, but I do dislike the assumptions people seem to make about anyone who dares to mention enjoying the warm spices used to flavor a pumpkin pie in anything other than, well, a pumpkin pie. No, it doesn't make me baaaaasic, lol, and I usually prefer my seasonal treats from other sources than the PSL (latte) from that big famous coffee company ;) Now our $25L exclusive HALLOWTHANKSMAS Tee is just right for all of us who feel like mid-October to the end of December or even early January is one big long hectic holiday! So now it has a name, LOL, and a triple headed mascot which has a bonus Day of the Dead aspect thanks to their face paint. That's a lot of celebrating, so if we aren't doing pumpkin spice, maybe mulled apple cider or wine to toast the holidays?


If you are looking for a way to glamorize your holiday, I'd love to suggest The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co.'s $50L exclusive prize, the FLAMTURKEY Tee! There is a stunning flamingo on the front, dressed in their finest turkey costume and surrounded by autumn leaves. To be fair, flamingoes get to show off their long legs and gorgeous color but the turkeys do get the more impressive tail, so maybe our flamingo got jealous and wanted to add even more pizzazz :) This and all of The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co.'s cozy tank tops come in 5 standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing.


Over at the Harambee-Gwassi charity store, we can find a turkey that contains this lovely Orange Blessed Minidress for just $25L. All purchases there benefit a charity for Kenya to help with schooling, and in return we get to look gorgeous in this harness halter dress with full short skirt that has a built in lace layer atop it. There are standard mesh sizes included, along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique body sizing. I was definitely drawn to the unique lace pattern, and the vibrant colors represent autumn beautifully.


Don't forget to visit [Ari-Pari] while enjoying this hunt, so you can find their $1L hunt prize called Georgia Gingham Outfit. I ♥ it, and yes that is a nod to the heart shaped cutout on the shirt which is one of many aspects that caught my eye. The cropped shirt and pleated miniskirt each fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and we receive a HUD with 12 choices each for top and skirt. The solid shirt colors match the gingham plaids perfectly, but of course you can mix things up a bit as I have on the right above if you're feeling creative :) The colors feel like autumn, but the style will work for all year round.


For my final look of the evening, I'm feeling comfy cozy in the {TSB} Thankful and Blessed Hunt $1L prize from The Sissy Bar. I do feel like plaids are really popular this season, and I am far enough past my school uniform days that I can once again enjoy the pattern :) Our sweater and mini skirt are linked together and worn as one piece, in a standard fitmesh size for classic avatars as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. I feel like with tonight's haul, I'm ready for all sorts of gatherings without breaking the bank to look my best.

I tried to go out (exposure therapy for the agoraphobia) and it did not go very well, so I am feeling a bit defeated tonight even though I should feel good about having made the attempt in the first place. It wasn't very far, but it was the dentist's office parking lot (it's Sunday, they are closed) which in itself is not a happy place to be. That wasn't even really the problem though, it was being in the car and being away from home as a 'safe place' I think. I'm going to try again soon, probably a different location to see if it matters. Otherwise the weekend wasn't bad, and I hope you all enjoyed yours :) Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
