♥ I'm back! ♥

Hey everyone!

It's been a little while since my last post but that's because lots was going on in real life.. mostly being the fact that I moved house. While it's still a sea of boxes everywhere.. at least I have an Internet connection and can get online when I'm not busy with house stuff. 

I decided to do a picture for The Arcade, which ended up being this blog post.. figured why not combine the two?! I was supposed to not be blogging this round of Hello Beautiful.. but a couple of days ago I had a tooth extracted in real life and I'm feeling pretty miserable so I figured that I'd pull out some of the goodies from Hello Beautiful and put them in this post in an attempt to cheer me up. Plus.. who can resist when lovely creators still drop their items on me despite the fact that I was supposed to be out of this round!

First up I have the ABRONZATISSIMA SunBurn - Tattoo from Cute Bytes (available at this round of Hello Beautiful) to talk about. I'm wearing it in the pics below.. it comes with a HUD and several face options so you can choose a setting which fits you best. I'm wearing the red one, because when I get burnt I go red and it's usually really painful and peels.. and then I don't tan. Other choices included are carrot, hot and tan. Perfect for the upcoming hot weather.

These awesome Glam Summer GLASSES from *BABY* are HUD activated and have 8 different lens tints to choose from (clear through to black) and you can pick from a choice of 10 frame colours! What a bargain! They have pretty little flowers on the frames too. Very stylish! You can grab your pair at this round of Hello Beautiful right now. 

I'm sitting here blowing bubbles in my awesome Bubble Pipe from Tikkels. There are 3 different kinds available at Hello Beautiful: pink, dot or blue (which I have on) They're a funky little accessory.. lay back and enjoy the sun and blow some bubbles while looking cool.

My nails are painted with Summer Ombre Nails from Buglets, which have a HUD with 6 different colours to pick from. I've got on the lightest blue ones, but there's a few different summery colours and one is bound to suit you. These are available at Hello Beautiful now too.

Lastly from Hello Beautiful (for this post anyway) are these epic wearable pools from Tic Tot Toe. Lots of different colours to choose from and because they're wearable you don't need to have rez rights anywhere.. just wear and lounge around in the pool anywhere you like! I love that it has a silly little walk in it too if you try to walk with it attached. So cute. There's a video at the end showing it off, courtesy of Tic Tot Toe. I'm loving chilling out in my pool.. now.. where's the waiter? I need another refill!

There's lots of stuff from The Arcade in my pic too.. see full credits below and come like this pic on flickr too for me please! I'd love to get noticed for The Arcade at least one time. Ooh click the pic too for a larger version.

Happy shopping everyone! ♥

♥ Life's a Beach ♥

I know, I know.. I went to the beach yesterday - but I really needed to go again to work on my tan. My SL mummy will die laughing at that statement considering she knows the real me and has seen me and knows how ghostly pale the real me is. I'm not even kidding, I'm like almost translucent in places. 

Anyways... if you know me you'll know that real life has been crazy with my move. I've been deep in paperwork, packing and having meetings with various people to get my mortgage sorted out. If you don't have a mortgage, it's confusing as hell.. and not something to just walk into. They like to make it all as complicated as possible.. if you do go to do it, grab yourself an awesome mortgage adviser. I paid a guy to help us get the best deal etc.. he is pretty awesome actually and knows all his stuff and without him we would be so lost. As of today, my removal company is set to move our stuff on the 4th June. I have a tooth extraction on the 3rd June.. yeah.. ouch. Our contracts have not yet been exchanged so I don't really know where we are yet.. hopefully our conveyencer will receive our signed deed tomorrow and get the ball in motion. Without the contracts being transferred we're pretty clueless as to when we can move in and are just guessing.. we went ahead and pre-booked to be on the safe side. I'm so hoping we get the keys earlier than that so we can go in and paint a bit.. as there's one horrible bogey green room that I need to sort out before my eyes bleed. 

So.. here I am at the beach trying to forget all the real life grownup stuff and just run around being a toddler. It took me a while to find a nice beach.. especially one that would allow me to rez! I love people watching on Second Life. When I'm out scouting for locations to take pictures at I crawl past a lot of strange and wonderful people. Sometimes they talk to me other times they do not. Today I chuckled to myself as there was a man on the beach dressed head to toe in black leather and huge clunky boots. If that was real life he'd have been waaaaaaaaay too hot to wear that! He stood there staring at the sea in all his noob glory, wondering why no woman would talk to him. Okay, I made that up.. I don't know what he was thinking or anything.. but he did look kinda nooby. 

My lovely vintage swimsuit is from Babysteps and it's available at Le Petit Faire right now. There's a few different colours to choose from.. but naturally I picked pink. It's on the higher end of the price scale at 150L$ but I'm guessing that's because it's original mesh? It's very cute though and worth the lindens.. I particularly love the front panel texture work. Oh and it fits both baby and kid ToddleeDoo's!

I'm wearing a whole bunch of accessories from ToddleTeeZ today too. I have on a pink charm necklace, which is available at this current round of the Sidewalk Gacha. I have the matching pink charm anklet on too.. The bracelet I have on is from this current round of Hello Beautiful, which is going to be ending soon, so go grab them quick.. they're birthstone bracelets. I have on the April one, as that's when my birthday is in real life and the fact that the stones go with pretty much anything. Ooh I have on pink wormie earrings, they are super cute! They are little worms on a hook and it even comes with a cute little worm for your nose. I have on a silver hearts toe ring from ToddleTeeZ too. All of that awesomeness is from ToddleTeeZ, definitely a store you need to check out.

My knee tattoos are at Hello Beautiful right now, they're from the awesome Tic Tot Toe. So many different ones to get.. I have on the shark ones. They seemed appropriate for the beach!

♥ Sheep Talk ♥

Short and sweet post.. 

I just really wanted to blog this top from BunBun that is at La Boutique right now. It's so cute! I think maybe I'm a little predictable though getting it in pink.. maybe I need to start introducing a few other colours into my wardrobe. Anyway, this cute satin babydoll top fits both baby and kid ToddleeDoo's.

I'm having a chat with the sheep about all my problems.. they're great sheep, aren't they? They just listen and don't say anything back. I'd say a wall would be good to do that to, but, a wall doesn't look cute and make cute noises.

Happy shopping everyone! ♥

♥ Let the world burn ♥

Ahh, super quick speedy post for me today because real life is being so demanding with this whole house business. I had a break but now my other half is home from working away it's back to being manic again. I'm getting myself a bit stressed with it all truth be told.. not sure how I'm going to survive this process.. by the end I think I'm going to be a quivering wreck. They say moving is one of the most stressful things you can experience in your life.. it's right up there with losing a loved one. 

Anyways.. I haven't got long, I'm writing this while my partner is at the shop - so he won't moan about me being on the computer and not doing more "worthwhile" things. Well, forgive me if I think blogging is worthwhile! I enjoy it, so there! 

Right.. now these new eyelashes from Purretes are just awesome. You can find yours at this round of Hello Beautiful. They come with a HUD with a colour wheel, so you can pick all sorts of colours.. personally I always want my lashes black, so I just went with the default.. but I guess if you like funky coloured lashes then these would be ideal! They weren't too tricky to mess with either.. I've never been a fan of editing eyelashes because of how fiddly they are! So I was happy that these didn't need much adjusting.

I'm loving these knee plasters from Tic Tot Toe. Okay, they're called band aids in America.. so, maybe I should refer to them as what they're called.. it just confuses me as I know them as plasters. Haha. Okay, anyways, these adorable knee bandaids come in LOADS of varieties. They're in a gatcha at Hello Beautiful right now, so be sure to go snatch them up. The ones I have on are the multi coloured ones.. but there's all different ones and you're bound to find one you like.

Right, back to boring real life.. and sometimes I just wanna let the world burn..

♥ Fun and Mirrors ♥

Hi everyone!

Hope all is well in your worlds. I'm currently in a blind panic in real life; trying to get everything ship shape for when my fiancee returns tomorrow (or rather today, since it's gone midnight here now) He wasn't supposed to be back for a couple more days, so I'm running around like a headless chicken trying to get everything just so. I'm currently on a break from cleaning and tidying, so I figured now would be the perfect time to do a post. 

First up there's these two adorable new items from Aphrodite. A play gym, called "The tree of life" it's much like the one I blogged previously - it's just a different style.. see the other post here: What a Hoot. 
The other item from Aphrodite is an adorable rocking owl. It has a few different animations built into it and it actually rocks! Very cute! I'm hoping Aphrodite release some kitty stuff soon, because owls are cute and everything.. but I'm much more into kitties! Or pandas.. or unicorns.. or mermaids.. or you know.. all of those would be good! I am loving the quality of their furniture though.

I'm wearing the mesh head from Cute Bytes, "BELLINA", that's available at this round of Hello Beautiful for a promo price of 250L$. I've teamed it with an applier from Bad Seed Boutique, "Berty" in the peach tone, which is also at Hello Beautiful right now. I think this head and skin combination looks pretty cute!

I have on adorable ears again from Tikkels, these too are at Hello Beautiful right now. These ones are chocolate dipped! Yum! They are HUD operated so you can match up your skin without much hassle and you can even change the colour of your earrings. Bonus! If the chocolate dipped ones aren't your thing, in my last post I showed off the sprinkle ones.. which are adorable too. I'm also wearing a face tattoo for mesh heads from Tikkels. It's really pretty and sparkly, grab yours at this round of Hello Beautiful.

I have on a very pretty headband from Buglets, "Janie Headband", which comes in lots of different colours. I'm wearing the blue (sky) coloured one to match my awesome outfit from Bad Seed Boutique.

The eyes I have on are called "Lovable Eyes" and I have on style C. They are from *BABY* and are available in lots of other colours at Hello Beautiful right now. I just happened to like this particular colour.. I gravitate towards lighter ones and blue tones. 
 
My nails are from Enchanted Bowtique are also at Hello Beautiful (you noticing a theme here yet?) and are called "Sakura nails" - they come in many different colours. Aren't they pretty?

Finally this mirror.. from snaphappy poses, available at.. you guessed it, Hello Beautiful. I blogged it before.. but today I'm showing off one of the commons which is the sky tone. It's perfect for making faces with your new mesh heads in. I had a little too much fun pulling faces in it. 

As usual, full credits after the pictures.. please click the images to view them larger. Don't forget you can follow me on flickr here: Kaci's Flickr Feed

Happy shopping everyone! ♥

♥ Birthday Awesomeness ♥

A bit of a different post this one.. it's mostly for myself, so I can remember the day. So.. I thought.. why not make it a post?!

So... yesterday was my birthday in real life.. and my mummy made the day, I spent alone in real life, not suck!

Things started off poorly as my mummy had to do some work in world for her pose store, Dot Dot Dot.. and my sister was working in real life.. so, I was really bored and decided to work on my store Awwdorable too. At this point I started to get worried that the rest of the day would suck. I can happily say though, that it didn't!

I was told we were going to a restaurant in the evening.. so I was pretty excited, because I do love roleplay restaurants when they're done well.. but this actually turned out to be something just to throw me off the scent of what was really going to be happening! Sneaky!

Apparently my mummy had been planning things all secretive.. even sent out invites without my knowledge. 

My mummy then said she had a surprise before we went to the restaurant, so I was tped off to this surprise first. I arrive and realise we're at Magicland - the sim that's done to be like Disney World. I was really happy because I love it there and have been lots of times.. but then.. a parade starts! A birthday parade for me, with floats and everything.. amazing! Queen Elsa from Frozen was on one of the floats and greeted us. After the parade was over Queen Elsa appears! Ahh! Star struck! -Giggles- I didn't really know what to say, but luckily my sister, cousin and friend were on hand to bombard her with questions while I sit with my jaw on the floor. She stayed around and chatted with us for a bit before asking what we wanted to do.. if we wanted to go on any rides. 

Elsa then mentioned the new Tiki Room, so that intrigued me and off we went there (seeing as I've seen everything else there a whole bunch of times) The Tiki Room was pretty awesome.. I won't spoil it too much if you've not been (apparently it's been there for a little while now, but it's a relatively new attraction.. and they're working on updates to the park and adding new things - which is exciting - it could seriously do with a mesh overhaul!) Sadly my cousins sound didn't work for this ride, but even she said it was the best silent show she'd been to. The sound really makes it that much more awesome though, so hopefully she'll go back and check it out another time. 

After that we all piled into some boats, for the jungle ride.. my nanna had to sit in another boat with Queen Elsa as there wasn't enough room for us all in one! My sister and I were almost sprayed by a hippo.

Anyways, after Magicland.. mummy whisks me off to what I thought was going to be the restaurant. I arrive and everyone is all, "SURPRISE!" My mummy had only gone and got a separate piece of land and decorated it all out Alice in Wonderland style just for me! There was a huge tea party like table, where I had lots of presents (so spoiled!) Thank you to everyone who got me a present, some of which I've taken a picture of below. In the middle of the land was a cute teacup ride, so we all clambered into a cup and whizzed around for a bit. I felt dizzy after a while so I had to get out. We then played greedy until it was time for bed.

My mummy surprised me with a video before all of this, which I've linked to here (I wish I could embed it but it wasn't hosted on youtube). It was so lovely, it made me cry! I wish I had a real copy to hold onto forever and ever. Nobody has done anything like this for me before and it truly was the best part of the day. I keep watching it.. I love it. 

Thank you mummy for making my birthday awesome! Thank you to everyone who came or wished me Happy Birthday. You all rock! ♥

♥ Candy Love ♥

Have you been over to the Mud Pie event yet? If not, why not? There's plenty of awesomeness to be found over there.

This dress from Zoobatos called "Candy Love" is just one of the many items you can find at Mud Pie. It comes in 5 different colours, I'm wearing the Pink/Blue one.. but with a choice of 5 colours, you're bound to find one that suits your taste. It also fits both baby and kid ToddleeDoo, which is always a huge plus! 

Happy shopping everyone! ♥

♥ What a Hoot ♥

Having been left to my own devices today I decided to have some play time with this adorable play gym from Aphrodite. This set is available at Room69 from the 1st of May. The set is called "My Sweet Baby Owl" Play Gym for babies and kids" and it's 20 prims - well, land impact if you're newer to SL. 
It's a really cute set and has tons of animations in it, some for just on your own and some for when a parent is with you. I'm being read a story in the last picture.. see! 
I love that some of the animations give you a prop to hold onto.. such as a book, or a stuffed owl.. or a block. 
This set will work with ToddleeDoo and prim babies (such as Zooby) however, it is worth noting that it won't change the babies stats.
Parents are able to use the parents animations.. carrying their baby prims and also play with the toys with them, or read to them, etc but the gyms wont move the prim babies by itself or change its stats. All animations work with ToddleeDoo or similar mesh avatars though.
Not only does it look cute, but each individual hanging owl moves and it plays a cute little tune too! Check out the gif and video at the end (video courtesy of Aphrodite).

Please skip the first few paragraphs if you just want outfit info!

My SL mummy hit the nail on the head earlier tonight, I say tonight 'loosely' as it's now 5:21am as I type this.. anyway, she said that when I'm on my own I hit self destruct. I do. I really do. I'm not scared to admit that I'm a little messed up.. but most of us that are on Second Life are, aren't we? There's usually a reason that draws us in.. otherwise we'd be living our real lives and not sat in front of a computer. I know, for me personally, if I wasn't as screwed up as I am I would be doing so much more with myself than sitting here. That's not a stab at anyone that does who isn't screwed up in some way.. it's just the way it would be for me. 
I digress.
So, yeah, I hit self destruct when I am on my own. I struggle a lot more when I'm on my own. For some reason, not only do I struggle - but I make it my mission statement to destruct in every way possible. I won't go into detail, because it's depressing.. but.. I did destruct big time tonight. I guess that's why I'm still awake.. reflecting on everything. Right now my real life fiancee is away and when he's away I hit rock bottom. When he is here he keeps me relatively okay and won't let me fall too hard. We fight though.. sometimes about my issues, sometimes just because couples fight about dumb things. We once had an argument about who didn't close the bin lid in the kitchen.. I wish I was joking. So, as you can see, we may not always see eye to eye on everything; but he is my rock.. one for whom I cling to when things get stormy. When he's not here, my cat isn't much of a substitute. I love my cat, don't get me wrong.. but he's not the best conversationalist. I think we all need someone from time to time.. and when you're on your own it sucks. If anyone reads this and goes through a tough time and needs someone to reach out to.. reach out to me. I'd rather anyone reach out than feel as alone as I did earlier. It did make me think about how many of us are going through our own personal struggles.. how many of us are fighting off our own demons daily and why we do the dumb stuff we do when things get bad in our minds. Yeah, deep, huh? Anyway.. we shall now resume our normal blog stuff.. 

Onto the outfit stuff you all came here for! My outfit today is from LVS KIDS and it's a gorgeous formal gown called "Formals Family Night" There are two different versions you can buy.. the one I'm wearing, or version 2 which is only sparkly looking on the top half. I love a bit of bling though.. uh.. not the scary SL bling, the flashing LOOK AT ME I'M A NOOB bling. No, no, no.. I mean that I like a bit of sparkle, glitter.. whatever else you want to call it. It's a floor length gown (so you could get away with no shoes if you wanted) that fits both baby and kid ToddleeDoo avatars.

I'm wearing some awesome earrings from Adore, which are available at this current round of Woodlands. They are called "Children's Starter Earrings" I love them! They come with a HUD to choose different colours, silver or gold metal, resize and more (see below) They are perfect little studs to add a subtle bit of sparkle to your outfit and jazz up your ears in the process. I can see me wearing these a lot! Grab them now because they're currently set at a promo price of 75 lindens.. after this round they'll go up in price... so hurry, hurry, hurry.

As usual full credits after the pictures. Please click the images for a larger view. Title drawn from song at the end, which is my to go to emo song which fits perfectly with tonight. Happy shopping everyone! ♥

♥ Bonjour Skunk ♥

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend! 

My finger feels a little better today.. I discovered I had magnesium sulphate paste in my medicine cabinet (which I'd totally forgotten about) and so that's helping loads to draw out the infection.. hopefully it'll get rid of it and I'll be back to my usual self in no time.

I've not done much this weekend.. I've procrastinated a lot while playing The Sims 4. I had fun launching my sim into space over and over repeatedly. I was absolutely devastated when he crash landed and I had to spend money to rebuild his rocket. Lol. I need a life.

Anyways, onto this cute outfit I'm wearing.. I'm wearing a top from Fablehood, which is available at this round of Woodlands. There are several plain versions and a few different rares to collect, for both baby and kid ToddleeDoo avatars. I'm wearing the "Bonjour Floral RARE" This one is my favorite out of them all.. and it makes me laugh a lot because my mummy always goes, "Bonjour!" She told me to include that in my post. 

I have on adorable "Versailles Boots" from Bad Seed Boutique, which are also available at this round of Woodlands. They fit baby and kid ToddleeDoo's! I'm wearing the cute pink shade, but they also come in: white, mint, lemon, blue and hot pink. A perfect little boot that will go with a lot of outfits. I've accessorised them with bow socks from Bad Seed Boutique too - which just go together I think.

In the last picture I have on hilarious cross eyes from Tic Tot Toe.. these funny eyes are available at this round of Hello Beautiful. Lots of different colours to choose from, but I've opted to show off the blue ones today. These are great for those funny photos!

Also in the last picture I'm wearing "Cupcakes On My Head - Colors RARE" from tiptoes, which are just perched on top of my head. These are available at this round of Woodlands.. be sure to snap them up! Everyone needs a cupcake from time to time!

I am loving this new hair from *BABY* This one is called "Sarah" and is rigged for ToddleeDoo's. I'm excited to see what other styles get released!

Look at these adorable skunks from MishMish which can be picked up at this round of Collabor88. The one on top of my head nibbling on my cupcakes is animated.. and the one on my arm is static. They come with decorative ones sniffing flowers too.. which is pretty cute. I'm loving the backpack, the HUD changes the colour of it! It was easy to resize too, just stretch it. There wasn't anything else there that I liked either apart from these.. a little disappointing this round for kids.. luckily the skunks more than made up for it.

Quick note on my skin.. although isn't available anymore.. if you're looking for a similar look Pink Fuel has one called "Doll V2" that's pretty close to this skin.

Special thanks to my cousin, Zahra (co-owner of ToddleTeeZ), for making my new shape for me. I forgot to mention that last post! She rocks! 
 
Happy shopping everyone! ♥
