A Second Life Christmas

Well I admit I might have the most spoiled Zooby baby in all of the grid officially now. She not only has her own bedroom in my house, but now I got her Christmas gifts and these were Christmas cookies shipped for me with love. Well, it’s Tymmerie Thorne’s fault because she gave me extras from the Woodland Gacha and then well, I was so excited about it. So I also got her a doll wardrobe and some dolls.

WHY SHOULD MY FAKE BABY NOT HAVE CHRISTMAS PEOPLE? Continue reading

Buon Natale. Merry Christmas. Peace.

Wishing you all serenity, wishing you all peace, especially that inner peace some of us are still looking for and it seems so hard to find. Let’s not forget those who have nothing or no reason to celebrate, let’s not forget to share 🙂

Merry Christmas, everyone :)

Love, Olela.

Barrier Methods

If there is anything you learn growing up in the land of the ice and snow, it’s that you need to stay dry and keep the wet cold off of you. Layers, and the right ones are the key. You’ll get cold, but you won’t be TOO miserable by the time you get home to peel off  your frozen outerwear and warm back up.

Being warm is a bugaboo for me. As a child, we had a house with out insulation. After the blizzard hit, we spent many nights sleeping in every item of clothing we owned, on the floor in front of the fireplace.

So, I won’t be cold. Not ever, if I can help it. Continue reading

The Final Countdown – Let The Wrapping Begin!

It’s time! Time to wrap up the SL Christmas and get those presents where they belong. The hours are ticking along and with RL time now at a premium, I know most of us will be seeing less of the grid and more of the people who really matter. Continue reading

Thursday Child Is Full of Woe

Girl Thursday is a newer to me store with an intriguing name. I’m wearing a holiday release of a festive cable knit tank top – perfect, cuz I live on the beach.

I am interested in the name, because I want to know what it means. Is it Girl Thursday because it’s not quite as good as Girl Friday?  (You youngsters can Google that shit.) Or is it as in, Thursday’s Child is Full of Woe? Continue reading

Christmas Countdown

Christmas is a week away. I’m excited, I’ve wrapped all the gifts. The stocking were hung on the chimney with care. Cookies have been made and mostly eaten. Christmas Eve party dress has been chosen and I’m ready to have the eats and the drinks. My avatar has been equally as busy. I’ve made my sim Serenity Gardens decked out with Holiday Cheer and my wardrobe has been festive as well. Included in those festivities is this gorgeous Aspen winter coat from {Social Vintage}. It’s my first item from this store but it’s sure to not be the last.

This new angelic skin I’m wearing is from Kooqla. I’ve been wearing Kooqla for a while now and I love to see that it’s becoming a big success. Everyone seems to really love this latest release and you can see why. The detail on these hand painted skins is divine. They truly are unique.

Hunts, Magic Shoes, And Reasons To Log In

This is a true story. I wanted an item at 22769. It was a hunt item. I couldn’t find it. It was one of my morning log in times, and usually I’ve got about 30 minutes to log in, dress, shoot, edit and post. I do this most days. I spent 20 minutes looking, got bitter, happened to find a different item, and left. I remembered that I hate hunts. I did however find this amazing dress, which I wasn’t looking for, for the Invitation Only Hunt? I don’t even know what that is.  But this dress is a total score. Continue reading

Winter Coat Love

1214_003While my family was very poor when I was growing up, I seldom felt the pinch of poverty. For one thing, the county I lived in was one of the poorest in the nation so a lot of people were poor. Even with the casinos that have opened since then, a quarter of the population still lives below the poverty level. Poverty is relative, so with so many other people being in the same boat, it was just the way things were.

My parents made a comfortable life for us despite poverty with hunting, gardening, fishing and making everything from soap to candles to clothing. Nearly everything was hand made   – even my hockey sticks and skis. And my winter coats.
