Sunday is for Self Care

1 Reply

My friend Gogo over at Juicybomb told me about a new residential community called Portofino that is to die for with so many great things to see and do that I had to check it out. So I drove down to the train station to ride over in style to check out this new to me place.

I specifically went for lunch, hoping to find a nice café and wasn’t disappointed. Portofino is a roleplay sim but it’s great for us tourists also, and I’ll be going back a lot I can tell. It’s just lovely and welcoming.

After lunch I found the cutest nail shop that I couldn’t resist stopping in for a quick manicure. I also took this time to shop for skincare products from Perfect Image. For my hair care products, I love ordering them online. And to keep your dreadlocks clean and moisturized, make sure to use loc gel.

It’s really lovely to have an entire city here to come to and do all the things Gidgey loves – did I mention there is both bowling and roller skating? Plus lots of dining options and even a big box retailer we will refer to as Bullseye ! You already know I went and smelled some candles.

After my exploration and adventures I decided I deserved a little treat so I grabbed a slide of really good cake at the local bakery.

Portofino? Can’t go wrong there! I love it!

Rainy Days and Milky Ways

Leave a reply

I found this really interesting sim with lots of great blogging spots, lovely vignettes to spend time in, either living your SL or just blogging it, and I admit I was really taken in by it. The rain particularly, from a distance, had a calming, almost soothing effect.

However standing in it was a big old mess and you couldn’t see anything.

Looking at it through the windows though? Perfection.

On the same sim I found a beautiful night view of the milky way. I spent so much time here just staring in wonder that I think part of my brain forgot that this is just a picture and not the real thing.

Looking on the Milky Way with my own eyes is a dream of mine. I want to go to a place that’s perfect dark and let me look into the galaxy. I’m not sure what I expect to see there, but it’s something I need to do.

I took a picture of these doggos in the rain, which really enchanted me but I couldn’t get it any clearer than this – the rain was nuts!

All in all, I do recommend visiting.

Ice Cold Psycho

I’m not sure why I’m running around in my lingerie with a cocktail but I guess when in Rome…

It’s just been one of those days, I didn’t feel like getting dressed and I needed a drink. Saturdays can be like that, can’t they?

This might be one of the Gidgiest pictures ever. Kinda love it. And pink drink? Forget about it.

Sunday and Laying Low

Leave a reply

I like Sunday to be a low key day. I want to be comfortable, nibble on delicious food and just be at peace as I prepare for the week ahead. That was me today to a T.

I think that your home on the grid needs to be a haven, a real place of peace. I don’t want to just exist on a platform but I guess if that is what you love that’s cool too. I just want to be surrounded in my world and make it complete – pink cat and all.

Sometimes though, I end up doing double work and after having shot this outfit in my beautiful bedroom I forgot all about it and shot it elsewhere. Oh well, at least I’m cute?

I’m a huge fan of this silly eyeliner I bought. It is totally cute.

Now, I’m trying to be ready for Monday. How are you doing? Are you ready for it?

Don’t mind my silly alpha halos. Sometimes you just gotta not care.

August 21st, 2021 – Sun Summoner

Leave a reply

Hello there. I’ve just finished watching the first season of Shadow and Bone, and I absolutely loved it. So much so that I spent the past few days roaming through the grid in search of items to channel my best Alina Starkov look. Be warned, it may not be perfect, but it’s my take on the character and I’m pretty chuffed with it.

It took me quite a bit to put together the look, and I discovered some stores and events I’d never shopped at before.

I headed over to Nutmeg to do a little shopping and wandered around the property a while. I found this trolley that has seen better days and and errant moon.

I’m wandering the grid today in search of the chair that matches my new desk and it’s apparently not out at the main store and this is my fault for not having bought it when I bought the desk. Why did I think that my 10454050 desk chairs I already own would work? Why? Because I was being cheap that’s why.

So now I must buy the chair not only because it matches but also because it matches.

I tried on one of Exile’s lovely short styles so I could show off my silly bear earrings I picked up at the SL17B birthday bash.

Brunette Gidge is liking the change. Maybe Brunette for a while? Hard to say. Gidge does like change.

Except when she doesn’t.

A Tuesday Respite

Movie Time

Tuesday after a long day of being a pixel girl I decided to Christmas the place up. The old tree from Moss and Mink with it’s pastel loveliness fits in perfectly with my very Gidgey house.

Sometimes in my little world I have to admit I just like to do nothing, so I found a movie and the cat and I settled in. Honestly, I’ve had these cats so long I don’t think I can SL without them. They greet me when I come home, they are little snuggly friends that make wherever I live a home.

Bakes on Mesh can be a bit ….NIPPLY my friends.

I’m also trying out a new shape for a new head. Have you demo’d the recently released new SLINK REDUX heads? I felt like shaking it up so I’ve tried out a new one and a new shape to boot. What do you think? It’s very different for me but I like it.

He wants me to buy him to cat toys…

I suppose I should have a turkey dinner ordered or something ? I’ve made no plans, invited no one.

Thanksgiving without all the fuss doesn’t really sound so bad. Sometimes even a pixel girl just needs to relax.

Bathing Is Requisite

Leave a reply

So there is an article rolling around the internet written by someone who alleges not to have bathed for a really long time. Thematically the article is trying to say that our western obsession with bathing is unfounded.

NO. This is lies. 

While you might not need to be one of those people who showers twice or three times a day, please don’t think that if you roll around 3-4 weeks unbathed that the rest of us don’t notice. WE NOTICE. For the love of God, wash. WE NOTICE.

There are people who own animals who don’t think their house smells like animals. There are people who live by rivers who don’t think that the outside smells like dank river. 

There are all untruths, brought to you by the fact that you have gone noseblind.

In my pixel world, I never have to worry about these things yet I do observe the appropriate rituals and customs – simply so that my mind is ready for the day. I like the preparation of getting ready to go out in to the world, pixel or not.  I’m worried about the person who wrote that article and how they’re going about in their world, unaware of the horror show they are inflicting on others.

I mean, the smell. My GOD the smell.

The Thames smells a bit though. Nothing to be done about that.

Happy Sunday girls.
