Happy Things: Pink

Over the past few weeks dealing with RL issues, I’ve noticed I’ve not smiled as much as I normally do. In efforts to make my smile reappear, I’m starting a series called Happy Things. Simply put, its posts of things that make me happy. These posts can range from a color, like this one, to things around me or material items. The “happy” could be of a moment or from inspiration of those around me.

For my first Happy Things pose is about the color pink. Not all colors of pink make me smile but only the bold passionate ones and those that are so pale they’re nearly white. I’ve even put pink in my store.

I hope to do more posts soon. This project, for me, is very similar to my Dream Big List as its a type of personal journey.

Good Morning

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. ~Tecumseh

Good morning! Hope you have a terrific day!

PXL: Dafne

Hart Larsson, owner of PXL, has just released this beauty named Dafne. She comes in 4 tones with 27 makeups. I know was completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of skins.

Let’s breakdown the skin options:
4 tones: LightTan, SunKissed, Natural, Pale
3 brows: Dark, Medium, Light
7 lip colors: Nude, Pale, Bronze, Pink, Wine, Rose, Passion
3 eye makeups: Nude, GLAMt, Extreme

To shop for these skins, it can be daunting since there are so many to choose. If you don’t instantly opt for the fat packs and rather pick a few you like, here’s a quick way to choose:
1 – Find the tone right for you
2 – Pick the makeup that jumps out at you at first glance
3 – Choose the one (or the packs) you like best

You’ll notice I didn’t mention eyebrow in those quick steps. In each purchase, you’ll receive:
a – 3 skins (one in each brow color)
b – Freckles (on a tattoo layer)
c – Cleavage (on a tattoo layer and an undershirt)

This is what I love about PXL: a ton of options and plenty bang for your buck with every purchase.

Below is the store location details and style guide information.

Plurkie Love

In the past few days maybe even in the past week or so I’ve been MIA on the blogging scene. What better way to come out of my blogging funk than with one of my favorite blog types – Look of the Day.

This outfit was styled for the plurk party centered about Glee. I’m not a Gleek but the party theme was fun with a terrible crashing sim. However it was in the best spirit!

Plurk is great for those hermits who secretly love being social, like me. I love being on plurk. Full of drama, chaos and made a ton of great friends who offer a ton of support … even met someone very special nearly 2 years ago. Sign up for plurk here.

Below are the style notes and a close up of the new L.Fauna skins!

Dream Big List

Over the last few days I’ve been hearing of bucket lists. These lists are focused on things to do before one dies. My list won’t be a bucket list rather a Dream Big List. I don’t want to focus on the lack of time or the act of checking off items. My list are things to celebrate and for me to be proud. I’ve decided to bring you on the adventure that will surely be created from my Dream Big List.

Sharing this list renders me open and vulnerable to so much. The best part to all this, its my list. Its something that’ll grow with me and allow for additions, never subtractions. Once its written and shared, it becomes a goal. Its not just any goal but ones I’ve thought about for some time.

For these blog posts, as they might not be daily or monthly, but surely will be, I’ve created a category along the sidebar for ease of following. The posts could be the actual achievement or just thoughts as I stretch for the dream.

Let’s get started with three of my very large and lofty dreams for SL that I’ve already accomplished:

Sure they might be easy achievements for some, for me they were huge milestones and I’ve dreamed of them for such a long time. As things are achieved, there is room for additions as new dreams abound.

For the remainder of the list, check out the items below:

The Truth in Color

Hey all – I know you are overloaded with your new hair from the Truth sale. I know that you are getting the all color fat packs. As you unpack your eyes will bulge as the color names fill your inventory window. Surely you’ll think “how will I ever know what’s the color is brown, blacks, etc”. Here’s my lists of Truth colors – Alphabetical and By Color Family.

This is one of my favorite Truth hair photos from my Truth Flickr set. Check out the blog post I did with this photo a few months back.

Enjoy your sale finds!

My Blog

Blogging for me is an extension of my mood and now my photography. This is nothing new as my of my readers have seen so much over the past few years – happy and kinda grumpy.

Over the past year or so, its been more about my photography. I’ve reading and watching a ton of tutorials to help me advance my skills. My flickr is filled with pics of Express and I to projects I’ve done. This all really just oozed onto my blog. Here all this time I was thinking Flickr would host the creativity and the blog would be more serious. I like that my blog is less stiff then before and it keeps evolving with me.

Shoe Fair: The Location

Shoe Fair’s theme is country and spread over four sims. The four sims are decorated with large barns that are booths for the designers and haybales for supporting creators. Along the path there are also fences, silos, and cornfields. Not only do the sims load in super fast but look just as good. Its honestly a pleasure to wonder through the dirty tracks to each of the barns.

To learn more about this fair, check out my Shoe Fair Series. Below the cut find out who this shoe designer is, the fair location and the style details.

Tuli’s Audrey

Tuli will launch another stunner called Audrey on Wednesday, August 11th. The VIP group has already seen a sneak at the beauty. For us, on this blog, we got to see the makeups and little surprises Tuli created.

We are always in love with the makeups and overall skins. This time Tuli added in tattoo layers for this release. The added layers are for matted and gloss lipsticks, lashes and cleavage. These items only work with this skin and in viewers that support the tattoo layers.

For me, I showed off the skins using no tattoos and you can see how stunning they are without the added features … well except cleavage. Guess what skin is the VIP group gift …

Check out below for the close up of one of my favorite Audrey makeups and the style sheet for all the girls.
