Monday Vibe on a Wednesday

All RL signs pointed to this being Monday. But it’s a Wednesday. That’s just perplexing ya’ll. I don’t even know how to process it. I went to an hilariously old amusement park needing to shake the Monday blues and my god, not only is this place a hoot because it’s so old, it’s not even Monday.

In both worlds I needed some sustenance of a cheesy, bread sort of thing. These pizzas from JunkFood are everything. Am I eating constantly? Probably. But I can’t eat nonstop junk with my new heart condition so the delights on the grid now make me an even happier avatar.

How was your Wednesday that was actually not a Monday?

I’m Not Getting Dressed

I decided pretty quickly this morning that it was going to be a pajama day. I had no plans, no social or shopping engagements to fulfill and no reason NOT to just hang out and do nothing.

Well almost nothing.

It’s laundry day around here. So I’ll get a little something done despite refusing to get dressed like a proper fashion blogger. Oh well I don’t even care, this is a me day. Sometimes you need a ME day.

I am also the luckiest girl in the world that I’ve got some great leftovers for dinner, no needing to cook or run out to pick something up. Is it a perfect day? Maybe.

Exploring Japonica

I love the Japonica Event and this round is no disappointment. There are things to eat, things to do and of course shopping for gorgeous items all around the sim.

KILL THAT FROG

Any event that has fun things to do I’m instantly going to love. For instance, I am thoroughly enjoying shooting the HELL out of this frog – also this duck. The only thing I might enjoy more would be if there were prizes for accuracy.

If you know me you know that food is one of my absolute obsessions on the grid, so this dessert café and coffee shop was an absolute must while I reviewed my shopping list. I’m trying not to buy the whole world but it’s a challenge when everything is so ridiculously cute.

Something Fishy This Way Comes

Explore enough and you’re going to find some adorable vignettes at Japonica as well. I’m in love with these fishies.

Dinner is served

After I spent most of my money and was out of anything resembling energy, I found a small restaurant on the sim and stopped in for some much needed dinner. As you can see I had a small friend who was very interested in my entrée. I can’t blame him – it WAS delicious!

Japonica is a gorgeous event – whether you’re shopping or just looking for a spot to shoot some fun photos (or grab a bite to eat). I highly recommend!

I Always Wanted an Orca

I’ve coveted my own orca for some time now. Imagine my surprise when JIAN offered up this beauty at the SL18B party this year. Was it 18? I forget. Anyway. This Orca is exactly what I needed to make swimming the waters off of Bellisseria safe. After all, who knows what great whites might lurk out there? I can count on DETH the Orca to swim out and eat them up if any show up to bother me.

I feel he is the perfect addition to my current menagerie.

Cats, dogs, beta fish, gold fish….orca.

Perfect.

Self Care In A Pizza Box

There are people who will tell you that self care is going to the spa and paying a lot of money for various things to be slathered all over your body. I say FIE on that. FIE. I say self care is whatever restores your sanity. If that’s a glass of cheap red wine and a box of pizza and various pizza like items – then bring it on.

Aliana and I decided that was exactly what we needed tonight. She’s going to read me memes and other items of interest from the interwebs and we are going too just BE here at The Elms.

I’m super excited to remind you that Hair Fair is in full swing. I haven’t run the gauntlet YET but I will before it’s over. As ALWAYS Exile delivers gorgeous hair that is MUST have.

Sunday Feels

Sunday times…are relaxing

My typist just returned from a week’s vacation so I had to beg her to let me out. Letting me out involved a lot of shopping with some much deserved respite on the beach when it was over. Even when she’s not around, I’m pretty happy I have this quiet spot here to relax.

Are you ready for your Monday? Are big things ahead? I don’t know what my Monday holds but I’m excited and ready for it.

Let’s make it a great week!

Out and About

I love exploring so early this morning I set out to wander the coast in search of a cup of coffee and some fresh air. I wasn’t disappointed in my adventures except by one thing.

These birds man, they are horrible. You can’t see the birds? Well they are those blobby grey things. I rebaked every texture on the grid trying to improve them. I fiddled with settings, I tweaked this or that I can say with confidence that this is as good as these birds get.

Bear coffee? Delicious! Birds? Bleh.

After my wake me up I went out and grabbed some necessities for dinner.

I think I’m set.

Friday Night Bellisserite

Or is it Bellisserian? I don’t really know. But I do know that it’s a perfect refuge after a long week. I picked up new chairs and and a new camper cooler and I couldn’t be happier with how this evening is shaping up.

I’ve got the grill going, cold drinks and popsicles. Don’t tell me it’s not summer. As far as I’m concerned, it’s here.

I’ve got a cold drink for you, if you want to stop by.

Isn’t that camper cooler the cutest? It’s from What Next! You need one!

Meal Prep

These new strawberry themed dishes at The Liason event from Bliensen + Maitai have caught my fancy. They’re so cute. They put me in mind of a set of dishes my grandmother had that were all pineapples. I always loved them and wanted to have a party using them, but they’re lost to the sands of time.

So these Strawberry dishes will have to serve as a wonderful surrogate.

I decided to do some appropriate meal prepping for the next week in order to try to reduce my nonstop crap food eating. I’m getting a little more thicc in this life than I care for. Some avatars pull it off beautifully but alas it’s just not me. I’ll be in awe of their beauty and sadly eat my vegetable soup over here.

Avatar diet life, the worst.

Just one glass of wine and some broth is what’s for dinner. I don’t really mind much. After all. Reducing my calories allows me to make room for a festive dessert.

Not sure this is beer. Not sure of the calorie content.

I just had broth for dinner. Do I even care?

Mondays Need Donuts

Sometimes Mondays need donuts don’t you think? I do. I had to go grab some after the day I had today.

There is very little a donut can’t fix.

Happy Monday. I hope yours had donuts.
