FREE Dress NYE

I’m pottering around in Second Life on New Years Eve – yes tragic I know but I’m all celebrated out for the 2023 season ! Just got back from a short holiday, and I’m tired , Chinese meal eaten, belly bloated and ready for bed. Anyhoo if you’re getting glammed up for something tonight head over to coco and take a peek at the group gifts. There are a few that would do you proud for this evening. Above is my personal fav – glittery & red what’s not to love ❤ Fits for: Maitreya, Freya, HG, Isis, Slink. The group is free to join.

Yeah I know “New Years Resolutions” yawn, boring and pointless and to that I say NO! “Just do it”. Do something good for yourself, it doesn’t even have to be life changing or a big thing it just has to be something that’s going to have a positive influence in your life. 

Start taking a daily walk, cleanse and moisturise morning and night! Stop pinning stuff on your Pinterest board or adding yoga/craft videos to your “watch later” and do them.

I know its easy to say because sometimes LIFE! Life can smack you in the face like a dead fish and every time you get over a hump you’re faced with another one but feeling better both mentally and physically will help all of us just cope with whatever 2024 throws at us.

I was just about to give up…(Cheapies).

zanbeck

Since I’m going to blab on here is the “cheapie” of a jacket and pant set so you can now scroll to the end for the LM lol.

First the editing has made this outfit more purply when its more of a bluey grey colour. Not of such a difference that I will feel guilty using this photo but just to let you know the colour will be different. Also they can be worn as separates. This set scream office smarts to me.

The fits are: Belleza GenX Classic/Curvy, Kupra, Legacy/Perky, Maitreya/Petite & Reborn/Waifu.

The WoN (Word of Nicely) group costs only 5Lds to join and there is this, a dress and some nice basic shoes and I think nails but take note that the dress called Freya doesn’t come in all the fits listed so if you’re not a Belleze GenX Curvy or Reborn/Waifus shape then don’t join the group just for that but join it for this at least. Also there is a 10Ld Group Gift for a different group, I forgot the name of the group, and I did join that and will probably stay in it for a while as I know its a pretty active cheap/free/bargain group. The gift for that group is pretty good, I don’t think the jacket works but the outfit does.

Fun and Free. (Freebies).

zanbeck

Just a quickie before I log off for the day.

The “fun” is this wearable cloud. The sitting pose you see is the one that comes with it and its pretty good. Put yourself into flying mode and you’re ready to float around the shops.

It’s not the only fun freebie from the e.marie shop and I’m pretty sure I will be using one of the poses soon lol.

The free is the outfit and since you can’t see it really well I hopped up to Faiths platform to take this photo.

I wish this top and bottom set was a stronger shade but that’s just my preference. Love the chains and they just happened to fit over the jeans I was wearing really well so yes that means you can wear them as seperates.

The fits are: Reborn, Maitreya/Petite, Legacy/Perky, Kupra, Erika & Belleca Classic/Dainty/Curvy Dainty.

This is a gift from the Luxury Shop but is a “The Shopping District” Group Gift. The Luxury shop has weekend special offers on and so do the other shops that share the same platform. Also there are a lot of gift just not for all free groups.

An odd combo!(Freebies).

zanbeck

It’s an interesting idea to have such pastel pretty summer jeans teamed up with a matt black top. Fortunately these come as separate’s so you can mix and match.

As promised from my last post here is a close up of my face so you can see one of the shades of lipstick and eye shadow that I used some of my FREE shop credit on.

Although I have to admit I’m wearing “wings” on my eyes as well. These wing lines are gifts from another shop and I will check that out just to see if they’re still a gift as I’ve worn them almost constantly since I first got them.

The fits for the sweater are: Freya, Hourglass & Legacy and the jeans: Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya. You also get a high, mid and flat option for the jeans.

There are a couple of other gifts in the Envious shop.

Free New Home For The New Year

faithlessbabii

Free 2 room Sky home 18Li

Wow a corker of a group gift from Noveny has just come out! This beautiful sky home is only 18Li and has two rooms , both a good size that you could use for multiple purposes. The skyline view from the windows is also included.

Free Sky home 18Li 2 rooms

With a working door between it gives such a great feel of space. The neutral colour scheme means you can use pops of brightness with your décor. First room definitely feels like a living room – the second room (above) has a soft neon tube light around the ceiling – bedroom possibly? The group is free to join and the board for the group gift is straight ahead of the landing zone.

Looking For Help!

faithlessbabii

Boy holding a sign with text help on it

I’ve been pondering a lot about what I buy in Second Life, and why? My ruminations have spread from fashion to décor. I mostly seem to buy in the weekend sales – love a bargain! Very rarely do I spend full price on anything tbh. So, lets look at fashion first.

Fashion

I’m unpredictable , I spend rashly and repent (or bin it) at my leisure. I see, I like, I buy, but always in the sales. However this spending does add up ! There are certain designers who if they have a sale or an item in the sale – I will buy it 100%. I notice that these designers tend to be original mesh makers – this tells me something. I like something I haven’t seen a hundred times before and I like something a bit more…hmmm what’s the word…classy, original…I notice original mesh designers aren’t generally shaped by trends. Yes they go through the seasons appropriately but they carve out their own path style wise.

Question: Please tell me your favourite original mesh designers ? I know of a few I support & buy from (Neve, Coco etc) but I would love to explore more.

Hair & Skin

I’m well aware I’m behind the times when it comes to skin, not so much with hair – although that’s becoming trickier because of my Catwa head. *sigh*. Catwa have released a new evo-x compatible head – anyone tried it? I’ve demo’d all the newer mesh heads – haven’t found one I like enough. Got the free Logo head today – nope. No one makes new skin for my head – so its all looking dated – 2024 is my year to update I guess.!! Hair is ok – I buy a LOT ! I’ve noticed Truth hair isn’t fitting as well as it used too – I’m wondering if Truth has changed the head shapes he’s making for? I do tend to buy his hair in the weekend sales so possibly its old styles that don’t translate as well.

Home & Garden

Again, Id like to support original mesh designers. I’ve got a list of stores I shop at pretty much exclusively but would LOVE to extend it !

Question : Please leave me your fav original mesh creators? I would be so grateful ❤

Thank you in advance ❤
