♥ Elastic Heart ♥

♫ "I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.." ♫

That is my new favourite song at the moment, "Elastic Heart" by Sia. I can't get it out of my head! I've posted a link to the video at the end of this post too.. now the video is beautiful, but it's disturbing too. There's been a lot of debate over this video and the age gap between the awesome Maddie Ziegler and Shia LaBeouf. You can make up your own mind of what you think to it.. Is it artistic? Beautiful? Disturbing? Whatever you think of the video the song is fantastic and becomes quite the ear worm if you listen to it a few times.

I'm baking bread in my new bread maker (in real life obviously) as I type this. I can't wait to see how it comes out! I'm pretty excited. I'm doing a wholemeal loaf right now, but I plan to do a gluten free loaf soon for my fiancee who is gluten intolerant.

In other news I also purchased a Fitbit Flex in real life. If you're looking to improve your health, this is a good bit of kit to own. It tracks your steps, exercise, food and even your sleep. It's like an advanced pedometer in bracelet form. It's surprising how many steps a day you take.. or you don't take (in my case) Although I did over five thousand yesterday and got a special reward badge! Apparently you're meant to do ten thousand steps every day, so I have a little bit to go for that.

Anyways, enough about boring ol' real life.. onto the cuteness that is my adorable little avatar in Second Life. 
I'm absolutely loving this "Freckle face" applier for mesh heads from Bad Seed Boutique. It's super cute! I'm showing it off on the "AMAZED" head from Cute Bytes, but any of the mesh heads are compatible with it. It has a lot of options too: basic (which I'm wearing), lashes, tears, heavy freckles, dirty, bandaid and blush. I've included a picture of the HUD to show you how many options there are.. it's pretty awesome. You can get this applier in either pale (shown below) or tan. Bad Seed Boutique keep outdoing themselves on skins.. every one just gets more and more awesome.. and I love them!  

My outfit is from Little Nerds.. what's not to love about this outfit and more importantly who doesn't love Narwhals? I'm a keen "redditor" in real life, so Narwhals definitely rock!

I swung by Chapter Four and picked up a couple of these adorable kitties from Birdy. 

Oooh that reminds me, Collabor88 is open from today! I plan to go check it out real soon.

Happy shopping! ♥

♥ Hello Beautiful - Round 4 - Babysteps Part 2 ♥

This is the second installment to my last post. Today I'm showing off an adorable limited skin from Babysteps. You can find it at the awesome Hello Beautiful event. How cute is this skin?! I'm loving the heart on the lips especially! The gloss on the lips is fab too.. ooh and.. and.. and the little heart stickers down one side of the face, adorable! This skin is called "Kandy - Pastels Limited Edition" and it comes with applier for mesh heads too (as seen on me) You can also wear it without a mesh head.. but I think it looks super cute on the BOOBOO mesh head from Cute Bytes. Even the "normals" skin I blogged in the last post from Babysteps is awesome. I'm just loving the "Kandy" skin line. So be sure to go check out Hello Beautiful this month and snap them up!

I went a little Turducken overboard today for this look. I don't usually buy that much Turducken stuff either, because it's on the pricey side.. but I do like to when I can. I am loving the newest stuff coming out in particular. I keep seeing this outfit everywhere, so it was fate that I had to buy it.. calling to me it was! Very surprised that it wasn't that expensive either, considering they are separates.. I was expecting it to add up to a lot.  It didn't though.
I spent absolutely ages trying to find tights that would go with this though.. searched marketplace and nothing caught my eye. I then remembered I had these mesh socks from Turducken that I got a long time ago (in a gatcha I think) and I hadn't had an opportunity to wear them. How pleased was I when I realised they went with it well and I finally managed to get my shoes to work with them? Pleased as punch I'll tell you! A little resizing happened, but nothing major. I'm loving this look now and I hope you all do too.

Finally.. the lovely creator of Bad Seed Boutique put out a fab free gift of poses that she's adorably called the "Blogger Appreciation Pose Pack" - they are truly awesome and I'm sure more than just us bloggers will be making good use of them. In the last picture I'm showing off one of those poses. So, thank you so much.. and thank you for making us bloggers feel appreciated! ♥

♥ Snowy ♥

In my last post I mentioned how excited I am for Christmas.. so.. it had to be done, I had to have a post that featured snow! I love it when you've got loads of supplies in, the house is nice and warm and outside is covered in a blanket of soft snow. It's only miserable if you know you need to go out in it really.. I'm hoping it snows over Christmas, once everyone has got all the bits and pieces they need to see through a week indoors of course. 

Anyways, this cute wintery look called "Jaimee Dress" is from Lil Big Me. It's a lovely pastel pink dress with a checkered top half.. oh and it comes with adorable little kitty shoes! They are just precious. It also comes with the scarf too for that extra wrapped up feel.. oh and a little pink hair bow. It doesn't come with tights, but that gives you a chance to put on your fave pair! Or go shopping for a brand spanking new pair.. or.. go without tights all together!

Oh.. I just have to mention while it's fresh in my mind.. many thanks to the person who left a comment on my blog (you know who you are!). That means so much to me! It's nice when people tell me that they like my blog.. but when someone leaves their mark it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.. so thank you for that! You were my first, but hopefully not my last.. and to be told I'm one of your fave bloggers just made my day! You rock! As does anyone else who actually takes the time to read what I have to say.. you're all awesome. ♥

♥ Nope ♥

Firstly, sorry I've been slacking on the blogging front the last couple of days. I'm really not feeling too good in real life.. I ended up having to see the doctor (which I had been avoiding at all costs, but I couldn't stand the pain any more) So.. I went.. got a brand spanking new diagnosis to add to all my others.. along with 2 new lots of pills to take. Yay.. (that was sarcasm) These new pills are going to make me sleepy a lot apparently, which will explain why I slept yesterday away.

I am in so much pain with my head so I will try to soldier on and attend to the things I've committed myself to do, but please stick with me while I try to get better. I've been given 3 weeks and then if I'm still not better to go back.. I can't see how I'm going to be better in 3 weeks. I am not convinced on their diagnosis to be honest! 

Anyways, onto less boring things.. like Second Life related things.. like this awesome outfit from Tic Tot Toe aptly named "Nope" which is exactly how I'm feeling right now. It's a cool outfit that seems unisex to me and will fit baby and kid ToddleeDoo's. I am loving the hat in particular, which isn't something I normally say. The sneakers are cute too - with little wings on them! ♥

I am looking forward to Christmas.. getting excited about it already. I know I'm a little early, but I can't help it! I'm also looking forward to seeing what events in Second Life come up.. I bet it's going to be a cracker! See what I did there? Cracker? Christmas cracker? Nevermind.. lol

♥ Your Lips Are Moving ♥

I have two super cute wooly outfits to show you from Lil Big Me today. They are perfect for this time of the year. I thought they were perfect to go to a wintery sim in and explore.. so, that's exactly what I did. I love the knitted texture throughout the outfit and the boots are just adorable. Purple just happens to be my favorite of the two colours, but there's also green if purple doesn't float your boat. Best of all it fits baby and kid ToddleeDoo's.

I'm also holding a platypus (in both pictures, actually) from Tic Tot Toe, which you can find at this round of Woodland Treasures Gatcha. I am holding the "mom" and "dad" ones, but there's a whole family set to collect.. and cute baby rares. I can honestly say I've never had a platypus on Second Life before.. so I was pretty excited to have something different in my inventory from the usual holdable critters.

How cute is this hair from Olive that I got at the Xiasumi School Festival? I love it! I was unsure at first because it's similar to another style of mine, but I am glad I bought it now. I love Olive hair.. I'm turning into a bit of a fan girl and eagerly anticipate non-rigged styles and specially rigged ToddleeDoo hairs from this creator.

♥ School Time ♥

I don't really go to school.. but I saw this outfit from Snips & Snails at the Xiasumi School Festival and it was too cute not to have. There's some cute things there if you can stand to navigate around. Anyways, this outfit is a mix-match set, so you can get the bits and pieces you want.. and there's even options for boys. I love the set, I just wish it was a bit cheaper so I could have got more options! It's good quality though, so I can see why it's so expensive. Oh.. it only fits baby ToddleeDoo avatars though.. which was a little disappointing.. cos I wanted to get my sister one and she's a kid ToddleeDoo. 

Anyways, I look adorable dressed up for school. I even got some knee-length socks from Bad Seed Boutique specially so I could complete this look. Perhaps I should have been rocking pigtails for a more youthful vibe, but I had to show off this hair that I got from Wasabi Pills which I found at the Xiasumi School Festival too. I always get a little bit overjoyed when a hairstyle fits me..

I thought I had relief from my headache, but it's back and it's thumping louder than ever. I am not sure what's up with me.. I'm starting to freak out that I may have a brain tumor. I know, I know.. I'm being over-dramatic.
