Wake Up, You Might Be Dreaming…

Do you daydream? I know that I do.. Sometimes probably more than should be allowed. It’s often that I find myself staring into thin air, imagining something that I’ve either heard or seen or read. It’s something that I’ve been doing for as far as I can remember.. When I was a kid, I even had an imaginary friend. His name was Cat ^^
Don’t ask me why. As far as I can recall, he wasn’t of the feline species, neither did my family ever own a cat. Some say that it’s healthy for kids to have imaginary friends like that, and even to daydream.. That it evolves and develops their imagination, and yet we were always told to pay attention when we’d find ourselves slip into fantasy land during classes.
In my case, it’s something I still enjoy doing due to the lack of restrictions that exists inside our own minds… Hopefully that doesn’t make me sound like too much of a nutcase ^^

Todays outfit is a present from the wonderful Amelie whose blog you can find [here]. These overalls and shirt can be yours for only 99L at The Chapter Four. They have a ton of texture combinations that I absolutely adore and they went perfectly together with the cute rabbit stockings by, oh will you look at that, they are made by Amelie ♥ Go check out her store on the Marketplace cause it has some seriously cute stuff.

Take Care The Road You Choose

Hello! ♥

A short update this evening since I’m taking Tuesday completely off anything that has to do with blogging. Tomorrow I’m gonna focus on getting my apartment properly cleaned and then spend an amazing day and evening in the company of my husband.

As you can tell, I am once again wearing the Tee*fy boots from The Arcade, just in another version. Is there some unspoken blogger rule that you can’t wear the same items twice? In that case I might be in trouble ^^

Pretty in Pink

I’ll keep todays post short and settle for telling you about the amazing group gifts that I’ve featured today..
First up we have the Suzy skin from (*ANGELICA). Puuuuuurdy huh? ^^
I have to say that I’m extremely impressed with this skin and even though it costs 300L to join the group, it’s money well spent. The group gift pack includes an eyebrow shape and a set of eyes, all of which I’m wearing today.

Next up we have the Galina dress from Tee*fy. I’ve been a fan of Tee*fy’s for quite a while now and it seems like I always end up buying some of their stuff when I run into their booth at an event.  The fee to join the group is only 50L, and also money well spent I assure you ♥
Also I’d like to thank Amelie for getting me the pink boots from The Arcade!! ^^ I was looking everywhere for those and no one seemed to wanna sell them, but she came to the rescue.

Currently I’m trying not to shop as much as I’ve previously done. It’s been a bad habit for so long to just buy and buy and buy and use the blog as an excuse to do so. Hopefully I’m able to dive into my inventory and dig up some stuff ♥

New Directions…

No, this post has nothing to do with Glee or anything there-of, and the fact that I feel the need to mention that makes me slightly worried. lol. So if you anticipate random and spontanious outbursts of song in the following paragraphs, I’m sad to disappoint you.

This is however a post that hopefully won’t get too personal, but yet some.  You see, in real life I’m quite the perfectionist and I tend to bring that with me into SL.. so much that the minute I feel like I’m not doing as good as I’d like, or see someone that is clearly better, then I succumb to that emotion of irrelevance.  In the end it’s a vicious circle of working my ass off and then feel unhappy of the result no matter what..  Do I think I’m the only one out there like that? Absolutely not… It’s quite common and the only difference is how each individual handle the situation.

So it’s time for a new direction… Cause I’m excellent at giving good advice and tell others to believe in themselves, but when it’s about myself, I’m less kind. But there is a lot to me thankful for.. Things I sometimes forget is there while I dive into a hole of selfpity.
I have some amazing friends.. I have my wonderful husband and we’ve decided to extend our little two person family. Yup, you heard me.. Penny, the spokesperson for “people against kid avatars” are planning to adopt.
Call it a moment of insanity… or maybe a moment of clarity? In either case it’s something that’ll take us a while to get familiar with and hopefully that will be the beginning of a long joyful time ♥
So take care of eachother out there.. Call or IM your friend and let them know you love them. Kiss your partner and tell them you can’t imagine life without them and when you tuck your kids in at night, then take a good look and enjoy the moment.. cause that’s what life is all about.

Can’t Hug Every Cat

If you do not already know the “Can’t hug every cat” song, I’d suggest you look it up on youtube ^^ It’s cute and funny and truly what anyone with a bad day behind them needs.
So we’ve established you can’t hug them all, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go surround yourself with them, right? That’s why you should take the teleporter over to OneWord where the theme of September is, you’ve guessed it… CATS ❤
And if you’ve managed to make it into the Arcade, you’ll see that OneWord isn’t the only one who’s taken affection towards the cuddly furry creatures.. really seems like cats are all over SL this months.

I See Things That Nobody Else Sees

Today’s post is inspired by the song Dollhouse, sung by the amazing Melanie Martinez. When I first found it, I thought it was gonna be about something completely different, but the lyrics are so amazing and without going into further details, was some that struck close to home.
If you haven’t heard it yet, then shake the youtube tree.. you won’t be disappointed.

For my dolly look, I went with the all new [chickadee] skin Aer, which is available in three tones. All include the shape as well, which I chose to wear with the Slink Physique that has been lying in my inventory for quite some time now without being used.
I have to admit the alpha function is confusing me, but seeing as [chickadee] had the appliers, I thought it was about time 😀
She also has her own mainstore inworld now, so go have a look.. it’s truly stunning.
