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!!

Bring On Spring With FabFree

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to Bring On Spring, thanks to the FabFree hunt of that name. This round runs throughout the month of April, and we're looking for neon rainbows in each store for $0L - $5L each. You will need their website open as it tells you the links, hints, prices, and preview images of the prizes. I'm a longtime fan of theirs as I've mentioned here countless times, so these hunts are extra excuses for me to visit their participating stores :) That's the fun part, I don't need additional reasons when I already do stop by most of these stores relatively frequently, and if you aren't already familiar with them I think you'll be eager to get more cozy and hang onto those landmarks.


My first stop was Belle Epoque, where I found their lovely Medea GIFT for free inside their hidden rainbow. The pastel pink (color is called Candy) gown has intricate chain straps and a flowing skirt that falls past the ankles. Isn't it so pretty? The gift includes sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. 


Here I'm still feeling pretty in pink with the Ruxy Ellena V3 prize, which is also a free treat :) It fits Lara X and Legacy mesh bodies, and has an eye-catching checkerboard pattern on the fabric. There are lots of great 3D details, like the flowers above each breast and the beaded chain style straps that go around both breasts, across the back, and loop around the neck. The essentials are covered but we are absolutely looking sizzling hot! PLEASE note - I did stumble across a couple of $1L rainbows from a previous round, so make sure you follow the hint carefully and if you don't already have those other prizes you can consider that a bonus opportunity :)


Speaking of hot, our $3L HU - April prize from Hello Uglies is a sexy way to remind folks that spring isn't just about pastels :) This gives Goth ballerina vibes, and I'm surprised at how much that idea captivates me. I think it's the detached looking puffed sleeves as well as the layered skirt that is reminiscent of a tutu. The back of the skirt is short enough that I will be finding my favorite black lace panties to layer beneath. This affordable goodie is yours in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.


As a certified 3rd generation chocoholic, lol, this $1L hunt prize makes me so happy. It's our CloudNine Her Chocolate tee, and says "Save the Earth... it's the only planet with Chocolate" with a very well chosen image in the middle. The soft tan material reminds me of a sweatshirt, I think the term is heathered when it's got that mix of shades in the knit :) The ladies' version has sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, while the nearby rainbow for the men has its own set of sizes. That one is the same low price, both easy to find and well worth it. 


My final look of the night is our @rOrO Shelby Dress Spring Edition prize, which is both fabulous and free! Just find that rainbow and you'll receive Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizing, along with a HUD offering 4 colors of the sweet floral pattern. It really is ideal for spring, and I can't wait to wear it out and about :)

It was a nice outing yesterday, although a bit tiring, and I had a good day today too even though the weather dropped a full 40 degrees from one day to the next! Can you believe it, I mean what is happening here? LOL! Every evening I have to rearrange half my office to swap the fan and heater, and I can't figure out whether I need short sleeves, long sleeves, no sleeves, or several layers to be comfy. Otherwise it's nice to have April here finally, and I have my Easter plans set which is something my family usually doesn't do so it's a bit unusual although not a bad thing by any means. Gaming with friends was fun, and they might have to skip next week but we'll still be ready for the big update (DLC, added content) in Hello Kitty the following week. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
