♥ 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! ♥

♥ Balancing Act ♥

Life in general is a balancing act.. throw a Second Life into that equation and it becomes even more difficult to balance everything. Most of the time I like to think I do a good job, but sometimes things can come crashing down.. hopefully the teacups on my head will stay put and not do that.

I'm wearing an adorable outfit from Buglets today. You can find this outfit at Woodlands right now.  This one is called "Fleur [Rose]" but you can also play for lilac and mint colours. I've had a lot of compliments wearing this and I have to say it is pretty cute! It's definitely a must play for outfit when you visit Woodlands.

The teacups I'm balancing on my head are from tiptoes, you can find them at Woodlands too! The one perched on top of my head is a rare and is super cute. There are other ones to collect too, including cupcakes on your head. Now I just need to make sure I don't lose my concentration and end up with broken china everywhere.

♥ Unicorns I love them! ♥

I haven't blogged for a few days, I've been focusing a bit more on real life.. which is exhausting.. it's so much nicer when I don't worry about it, but I know I need to.

Well.. I can officially say now that I left my family. While it is sad that things happened how they did, I can't go back and change them and I know in my heart that there were things that weren't working how I'd have liked anyway. 
Will I be looking for a new family? No. Not right now. It doesn't seem right to do that after spending over a year with a family.. to just start fresh so soon. I spoke to a friend who said that many people would just start the search again, but I'm not like that.. don't think it's right. I would still feel the same even if I wasn't a kid avi.. and if I was a parent who had lost a kid in the family that had been with me for a long time there is no way I'd put up a panel looking again. I feel it would be disrespectful.. like you're trying to erase the memory of them immediately. I guess I'd wait at least a month or two before embarking on the whole process again otherwise it would just seem like I didn't care about them at all. Which is really harsh... and I did care about my family, so I'm not ready to look right now. 

Besides.. I'm focusing on real life, which means that I'm not as involved in things on Second Life as I have been.. guess it would be kind of pointless to start with a family not being on so much.. which is part of the reason that things with my family before ended. Things just move too fast in Second Life if you're not there.. it sucks. 

I've decided that forever family is a myth.. in a sense that none of the families that I've settled with have lasted like I hoped. Things always change, they get tired of me or real life happens.. or it just doesn't feel right. My advice to anyone looking for a forever family is this.. stop. Find a family, by all means.. but don't think it will last because it won't. Enjoy it while things are happy though.. just realise all good things do come to an end. There are the few families who do slip through the cracks and make it work no matter what.. kudos to them.

It's weird because those I consider forever family are not family.. they're just people I've met in Second Life. All of them were met through family, but no matter what the situation we always find each other again.

A good friend of mine fits into that category above and has been kind enough to let me stay with them, "The Roth Family". I've known them for what would seem like ages and no matter what avatar they use we always talk.. I'd not met his girlfriend before, but she accepted me straight away. Even made me this little house outside (pictured below, in the second picture) full of girly toys and things especially for me. She even went as far as baby proofing the lake behind by putting up a really cute fence. They have been lovely in taking me in and giving me much needed cuddles. They may even become my God Parents.. who knows. I'm so thankful that they pulled me out of the sandbox that I was squatting in. That makes it sound like I was pooping there.. I mean.. I had set it up as home, even though it was public. lol

Off of the family topic now and onto the main point of my post.. dun dun dun.. the outfit! A lot of my accessorising was done at this round of Collabor88. It's super cute over there with all the unicorn related stuff.. and well I do love unicorns so I couldn't resist.

I'm wearing an outfit from tiptoes. I've never bought from them before, but seen tons of cute stuff from them and since I had been so busy blogging for sponsors I hadn't had a chance to try them out.. until today! I love this cute pink dress with bows all over the bottom. It's such a complete outfit too, since it comes with shoes, hairband, tights and bracelet.. and it wasn't badly priced either. I will definitely be shopping there again!
