Bad Cook

I tried to make a nice Sunday dinner, but the truth is, I’m just a terrible cook. Any time you see this many pots out, it’s never going to end well. Bake? Yes, I can bake anything, but cooking is such a different beast – this whole timing of things and just the whole of it is something I always miss at.

I should have know that after shopping at the Fifty Linden Fridays Birthday Bash I would be too tired to concentrate, it was a bad idea from the start. Oh well, I tried. Right?

I ordered pizza after I declared dinner a disaster and sat down with Snake Plisskin to watch a little TV. These old Magnum PI reruns are boss!

Have you been to the Fifty Linden Friday Birthday Bash? You can hop a ride in this jalopy.

Let’s make it a great week!

Sunday is for Self Care

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!

Summer Kick Off

It’s a three day weekend in the US and I’m celebrating by spending some time doing a little vacay at a beach that is not my own beach but a different beach so that’s somehow better, right? Visit the best website for travelers if you are also planning a vacation for you and your family.

You know I love an all inclusive style resort that constantly feeds me.

I mean, beautiful scenery and nonstop snacks? Count me in.

I do recommend this beverage – it’s blue. Blue beverages are best.

If you need me, I’ll be right here.

SL20B Adventures

Every year I forget what a chaotic mess the SL birthdays are and every year I go and get SUPER annoyed, yet I still have a good time. It’s a duplicity I can live with.

It’s gonna be a lag hell and textures aren’t gonna rez 5ever and you’re gonna get scooted across the world stuck in a lag cloud but still, the things you do see are fun and interesting. I love seeing all the individual citizens as well as the brands coming out to celebrate our 20th year as a community in all their weird and wacky ways. Take this for instance, what is it about? NO IDEA. But still, it’s fun.

I don’t like getting lectured at, however. I come here to escape. The night and the world is dark and full of terrors and anyone trying to make huge social statements here get on my last damn nerves. I didn’t wander into your fun build to get lectured at. I want to escape and have fun. What a drag some people are. (Annoying Lecturing Builds were not included in Pics),

I found this super fun car racing build and had to stop by. You know I do love some car racing. I was a little sad I couldn’t actually drive around, but appreciate they didn’t include that as it would have just further contributed to the lag hell that was already going on.

I’m wearing shoes and cloths from SL20B Shop & Hop Event today, freebies from nice brands always for the win – Baiastice is one of my loves from bag in my early blogger days and her quality is still completely top notch. My little floating friend is also a freebie from Shop & Hop.

I’m having an ice cream waffle from Hangry, I know I eat a lot. I can’t help it. This is just how I am.

Have you been to SL20B yet? If so, what was your favorite part of it? Did you get any super fun freebies? You’ve gotta share if you did!

Blueberry and Yummy for Belleza’s GENX

I love to get out and about, especially when I get to explore new places – or new to me places. Tonight’s excursion was no exception. I had the best time exploring in New York 2.

Tonight I’m decked out in Blueberry. This is one of my favorite brands, you can always count on them for the kind of quality you don’t have to demo – her work is always top notch. I’m wearing the new GEN X body for Belleza and I am really enjoying her. Blueberry makes a host of great clothes for her.

I was SO excited to see that Yummy is designing for this body. As one of my favorite jewelry makers on the grid, it’s so great to find someone you already love making things for your new body. YAY!

If you don’t mind, I’m gonna grab some street food for dinner before I head back home. I will catch you lovelies later. Have a beautiful Friday!

Feast for One

I decided that there was nothing like a movie and an amazing meal to end this week. I was craving sushi and couldn’t decide exactly what so I just had a whole assortment sent over to me. Will I eat it all? Probably. At once? Oh probably not. But it’s so delicious, how could I resist this feast?

I picked it up at an event called the Food Court. They had such a cute assortment of yummies I couldn’t resist. You know how I love to pixel eat!

Despite staying in, I did stray outside just to take in the ocean breeze and really enjoy the surf this beautiful evening. Just listening to it makes me feel so calm and happy. I think that’s why I still love this spot so much and it would be hard to get me to move. It’s a perfect way to end my week, listening to the waves and feeling the warm breeze.

My Mouth is Stuck Open!

I spent about 30 minutes with my mouth stuck open before I crashed. I took a lot of photos and I do have to admit, this one made me smile. Sometimes it’s okay to be imperfect and happy.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

A Dubious Engagement

I met some lovely people who invited me over for a little casual Pre-Halloween Soiree and so I thought I’d stop and pick up some treats on my way. It’s important to be a good guest, don’t you think?

There were a few folks with no skin, and this one fellow who just keeps floating about in an ominous way wearing a very poor quality hooded cape. Is that a sculpty? It looks like it.

I just don’t now if these are my people, truly. I may just feign a headache and head home.

I’ll take my drinks home. This just doesn’t seem like the kind of crowd to enjoy a 3000 calorie coffee, now does it?

What’s on your agenda this weekend? May I recommend these coffee drinks? They are delicious!

Ride or Snack

You know that thing where people say someone is their “Ride or Die”? I’m not down with that. The whole dying thing – why? What’s that about? I much prefer my amusement park plan of “Ride or Snack” anyway. We can go on a ride. We can have a snack. We can go on two rides. We can have TWO snacks. Do you see how much more fun this is?

Please follow me for more life hacks. I have snacks.

Belle Epoque and Katat0nik Group Gifts

Katat0nik‘s Group is 75L and the shoes are only for the Maitreya body.

After coming back to SL, I looked for all the stores I used to frequent mostly by asking friends on Plurk (yes, its still around) and just plain old searching inworld. I was happy to see that it was still here and snatched up the shoes. They were just BEGGING for an ethereal-type picture.

Belle Epoque Group Gift

Belle Epoque helped me with the outfit for the picture I was imagining! Just recently they announced a new group gift. Their group is currently only 50L to join. Sizes come in Petite, Perky, Maitreya, and Legacy. 10 colors are found in the HUD.

Vacation Home – Acquired

For a long time I’ve wanted a second home and this past week one availed itself and I could not resist. Just a place to get away on the weekends and relax with no cares – who could resist? So when a houseboat opened up near many awesome people I couldn’t say no.

I’m still moving in and decorating. I didn’t really think through my dining options when I moved in so I’ve ordered delivery of donuts. This is perfect, as far as I’m concerned. I’ll spend a lovely evening here on the water, full of donuts, and then return back to the world tomorrow.

It’s a good plan.

I have nowhere to go and all day to get there.
