Self Care In A Pizza Box

Leave a reply

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.

Making Christmas

Leave a reply

Hello lovelies. If you’ve been locked in a cave or trapped under something heavy you may have missed the news that Lelutka is offering a new head for group members, for free. You can pick up a male and female head just for the having, and I do have to admit, I might like this one the best of any I’ve gotten in 2020. It wasn’t hard to get her face in shape for a Gidgey type look either.

How are you decorating for Christmas? Do you buy gifts for your SL friends? I popped over to the ARCADE and pulled levers for gifts for friends which was fun. A cream doggie for Gogo (already gave it – no worries). A Black and Tan doggo for Dancien, something fun and RARE for Kitty. I also grabbed a few delightful hampers for some friends—it was a successful shopping trip, and I couldn’t wait so I already gave some away. I know I’m silly, but still – I love Christmas.

I’m in the middle of decorating my home and I’m using mostly old decor items this year because they are traditional to me and my SLife. Do you have traditions in SL? I like having items I do every year. It makes my SLife have more of a narrative which makes me happy.

We are winding up for the holidays – I bet there have been “Baby it’s Cold Outside” posts already.

Havana Classic

Leave a reply

I went walking the Plaza Havana on a sunny day, taking in the sights and feeling pretty relaxed as one does in such a tropical paradise. It’s a lovely little build just recently set up by Geoff Quinnell – you may know him from the Geoff Quinnell Orchestra which performs in the center of the plaza. it’s a lovely homage to Havana in it’s classic days. 

Although it was inadvertent, I was luckily dressed appropriately for this retro themed sim. I was feeling every bit of a 40s doll as I sought a place to stay. Luckily the Hotel Colonial had one room left before the orchestra kicked off.  i came for the scenery but I might just stay for the cool ocean breezes and great music!

Do I Have To Get Up?

Leave a reply

Oh my god it’s the 23rd? How did that happen? I’m not ready. My body is not ready. I’ve got stuff to do. WHERE DID MY ENTIRE MONTH GO? There’s nothing for it but to get up and get moving, get baking – get packing- get GOING. I am not sure I’m prepared for all that the 23rd of December means.

That being said. It’s time to get up.

Really just five more minutes and I swear I’m up. Promise. Just….tap me in five minutes. I’ll get up. I promise you.

Christmas Wind Up

Leave a reply

Well it’s almost here. Are you done with your shopping? I’m about done, not quite. I’m hoping to wrap it all up today, honestly. Just a few odds and ends here and there to grab. I need to get something for my cats. Do they make mesh catnip?

I hope you’re enjoying the holidays with the people of your choosing and your loves in both lives. No matter what you’re doing, I hope it brings you joy.

This cupcake is about to bring me joy. 

Don’t forget that the ARCADE is still open and full of awesome gifts 🙂 They are just a pull away!

Time for shopping. My body is ready.

Skating My Way

Leave a reply

So while I haven’t begun ANY of my Christmas shopping at all, I decided it was a perfect time to go out and do some winter activities – like ICE SKATING!  The only problem was, given the number of times that I have moved, I can’t find my dang skates. That’s ok though, The Arcade provided me with a lovely set of roller skates that work just as well! Continue reading →

Decorating Is Life

Leave a reply

I am all kinds of ready for Christmas. I’ve got trees out, I’ve been visiting Advent Calendar gifts, I’ve been doing ALL THE THINGS.

All of them. I’ve even managed to get quite busy on some serious decorating for when I have company this Christmas. I’m apparently expecting quite a crowd.  Continue reading →

Return to the Grind

Leave a reply

I’m cold. It’s ridiculously cold and wet outside. You might be tempted to tell me that this is my own fault for living on an island but I’d tell you to go suck an egg. I’m still going to complain. The winds are whipping and making my dogs bark incessantly. Plus, I got up early and while trying to get my breakfast together I sent a cake flying across the island.

Yes I was GOING to have cake for breakfast.

No, I don’t know where it is anymore.

I’m having a waffle instead and since I can’t have cake I’ll be angrily chewing his face off.

Well, not TOO angrily. I’m pretty happy given my delicious cup of cocoa I’ve got going today. Even the hand pose with it has me tickled. It’s almost worth being up this early. Almost. Continue reading →

GAZEBO

Leave a reply

My husband and I have this long standing joke, when we can’t think of a word we just say GAZEBO.

“Can you hand me that long handled…..gazebo?”

“I am looking for my extra….gazebo…”

“It’s over there behind the red…gazebo….”

You get the idea. Continue reading →
