I Want Your Symphony

Alicia Chenaux

For most of my life, I didn’t really think I was a “romance” girl. Too busy being a cool girl, you know? But…no. I am a romance girl. I love everything soft and sweet lately.

Of course, I’ll still throw hands and I may or may not keep razorblades in my hair. But you know. Balance.

Collabor88 is still open for another week, so make sure you get out there to shop!

I’m Not Ready To Back Down

Alicia Chenaux

I think there comes a time in every blogger’s life where creativity takes a whole dip and the thought of putting together a photo at all is just draining more than it is fulfilling. I’ve been going through that this past year. Maybe even two years. My offline life is…well, sometimes it’s really draining itself. I’ve struggled hard to find creativity when my mind is constantly on practical matters. As a result, I’ve dropped the ball on a lot of things. And that really sucks, because doing SL photos is truly one of my biggest loves.

But you know what? I’m not ready to give up yet. And I have people in my life, my future partner especially, who push me to do more, be more creative, dream bigger, be whimsical and free. I’ve watched him recently as he’s been working on new music he’ll play at SL23B and it’s inspiring to me. So it’s time to get off my pixel ass and get to work.

Also, if you haven’t yet, you should get off your pixel ass and go pick up the new set from The Kiwi Co.!

Feeling Good, Feeling Fine

Alicia Chenaux

Happy Saturday, friends! One of the things I’ve been working on lately is allowing myself time to just be. It’s not easy. I have a problem about feeling like if I’m not being productive, something’s going to fall apart. But today is Saturday. It’s rainy, meaning I am staying home. The house is quiet. I’m just hanging out. And honestly? I am feeling just fine.

If you haven’t been out to Equal10 yet, the weekend is the perfect time to go!

I’m Already In A Daydream

Alicia Chenaux

I was talking to my guy the other night about the fact that somewhere along the way, I stopped daydreaming. It’s not that my brain ever fully shuts off. It doesn’t. But all that daydreaming I used to where I created whole worlds in my imagination? Nope. Gone. Part of it is that I feel the need to be doing *something* at all hours. I never really give myself a moment to just be… well, to just be. And another part of it is, I think, that any daydream I have, any world I want to create, I can do it in Second Life. Which is a blessing, but maybe a teeny tiny curse, too? Because how do you create your whimsical world if you don’t daydream it first? So I guess that’s my goal over the next month. Daydreaming.

But for all my daydreamers out there, head on over to Collabor88 this month! You’ll find some great items to create your own world.

Strong Is What We Are

Alicia Chenaux

I asked my guy the other night if he would mind letting me be “brainless” for the evening since my brain had basically been on at 100 for the entire day. He’s pretty good at making sure I feel held, so even though it’s not something I would have asked anyone before because letting go of control for even a moment makes me feel like I’m getting hives, I felt like it was safe to do it with him. And I think that’s kind of a beautiful version of love in its own way, you know? Safety. Feeling safe with someone who doesn’t make you feel weird for needing things, even if you can’t really put into words what you need.

Now did I let go completely? No. I’m me and I’m kind of a control freak by nature because that’s how I’ve always protected myself. But I’m learning that it’s okay if I lean sometimes, too. It doesn’t make me less strong. In fact, it kind of makes me more.

Velvet Boheme is still going strong, so make sure you get out there!

That’s Some Kind Of Wonderful

Alicia Chenaux

I know very little about landscaping in SL. Yes, even after a babillion years here, my style of “landscaping” is to just throw a lot of trees and flowers on the ground and run. But now I have a partner who is very good at it, so I don’t have to be good at it. Last night we were just chatting and before I knew it, he’d created a new shoreline near the cliffs where our house is. I absolutely love it! And him, too, of course.

If you haven’t been out to Velvet Boheme yet, you really MUST go. It’s the most beautiful event! So so so many gorgeous items out there!
