Light is slowly fading, ebbing away like the tide, leaving a wordless melancholy. Seasons changing, shifting, urging me to slumber and rest with the setting sun. I close my eyes on the light. When they open I hope and pray for autumn’s quiet yet passionate colors to unfold.
Are the shadows growing? Are my eyes tricking me? Something has changed. Was it me? A quiet calm approaches and beckons me into its embrace. Who calls to me now with such familiarity?
Every parting is bittersweet. My old friend, I feel you near once more. Come closer and leave the kiss I truly long for.

It’s the last day of the Cart Sale and there’s still plenty of goodies to buy for a bargain price. Dark Water Designs always has unique clothing pieces that fit well and look comfortable without sacrificing on fashion. The Fall Kimono in Gold/Plum comes in two versions; one with a silk wrap and one without. Sizes included for this piece are made for Maitreya Lara, Belleza Isis, Venus, & Freya; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Tonic Fine, Curvy, and Voluptous mesh bodies.
I’ve also picked up some decorative items from Dark Knight Decor and LpOca which both have simple yet charming pieces to embellish your home. Needing a little bit of brightness in an empty corner? Add some flowers from either shop. The water fountain from Dark Knight Decor also gives a peaceful ambience to any room.

As the waves crash upon me, Mother Nature’s power pushes me onward, into the Ocean’s depths then up again toward the shore. I call out for help, for someone, but the waves crash against me again, pushing me under. I’m on my own, fighting the tides, battling to keep my head above water and watching for a stray boat, another swimmer. Is there anyone out there?
I surrender. Letting go out of the past, my present, and future. I’ll fight on, following wherever the current takes me.
If you haven’t heard, the Cart Sale is open for another round and offering lots of bargains for you to swipe up. Some excellent style staples are available from .:battle fairy:. and {Poeme}. The Hilary Dress has a fatpack of animal prints from .:battle fairy:. that is perfect for a day out or a date night out dancing. Sizes included are fitted for Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. This fatpack is 50 lindens and has five patterns on its included HUD.
I paired the dress with the beret and boots from {Poeme} for a fun travel look. The hat comes in several colors which you can buy separately for 10 lindens or in a fatpack for 50 lindens. The boots also come fitted in sizes for Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. Boots are available for 35 lindens for a single color or 50 lindens for both.
Be sure to check out the sale before the deals run out!

Quiet. Silence. Deafening stillness fills my room without your presence. My mind spins a mile a minute, then slows like grass in a gentle breeze. How do I do this again? Being on my own without another voice overpowering mine?
Comfort. Normal. Your presence was constant but what about your mind? Always elsewhere. Together but alone. Now I’m alone but no longer lonely. Finding myself again, remembering who I am and where I want to go.
Quiet. Silence. Filling the emptiness with songs of my heart. Searching for new passions to re-ignite my flames. You may see me, but you won’t recognize the woman I’m becoming. Whispering, you’ll wonder how I became what I am. Who I am.
The Cart Sale has been running for about two weeks now and we have about one week left! If you’ve missed previous posts, the Cart Sale is a shopping event where all items are 50L or less. Today I am giving you more peeks at what you can find there. Be sure to check the event out before it ends on April 15th.
One of the items I am wearing comes from Dark Water Designs. The Crochet Overlay Top is a cute form-fitting top and has a HUD included with a few color options. Sizes for Maitreya, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Belleza Freya, Venus, and Isis mesh bodies are included. Next to me on the bed are a few items from Dark Knight Decor; the tea kettle and macaroons come in separate sets but go well together for a sweet afternoon treat. The lantern next to me is from The Dark Fae. Turn this cute piece on and light up your room with a bit of whimsy that comes in quite a few colors to pick from. Behind the lantern, you’ll see a vase of tulips and a planter of roses that both come from StoraxTree. Each has a selection of colors so you can find just the right one for any room or garden theme.
That is all I have for you today. Until next time. ❤

Hello everyone! I hope you are all staying safe and healthy in these crazy times. I know I’m slowly starting to go a bit more insane… With all of the time at home, you’d think we would be more productive with projects we’ve left unfinished for a while, but alas, we’re just trying to cope in these strange circumstances. One of the best ways to do so is to listen to some good music. What’s your favorite band, genre, song? Whatever makes you relax or feel upbeat, turn it up and dance around in your room or while you make some food.
Another good way to have some fun is shopping! I know some are struggling to save money while they are out of work, but there are some great deals in SecondLife that won’t break your bank. The Cart Sale at the Wash has begun and is chock full of items that are 50L or less. Some of what I am currently wearing is from the Cart Sale. My dress was created by Sweet Willows and there are seven different color/pattern options to pick from and only costs 10L. Every single color/pattern comes in mesh sizes fitted for Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and the Belleza Freya bodies. My hat is from Tiar, and while it is called Mens hat, I found it gives a fun twist to my look. It is modifiable to make sure you have the purrfect fit.
I will have more for again but don’t delay and grab these bargains before the event ends on April 15th.

Hey peeps! Linden Labs has made it so the SL Home and Garden Expo has a few more days! If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out on a great way to contribute to Relay For Life. As I stated in my previous post, there are creators with items up for grabs that contribute either 100% sale donations or 50% sale donations to RFL. In addition there is an auction and many creators have decorated homes to compete for the most donations to RFL. One of the homes I visited is on the water and named the Beach Cabin. House No. 11 is a cozy little home with a small living area, spacious foyer and bedroom upstairs, and an outdoor kitchen and dining area perfect for enjoying a view of the water. The dock also offers easy access to moor a boat. Come take a look at the wonderful work Alec Rogue has done on his build and donate some linden if you can to his donation kiosk. Every linden donated is a vote for their home and 100% go to RFL!
Happy exploring. ♥

February, the month of love and romance, is almost over. While most think of it as the time for couples, it’s also a good time to show ourselves a bit of self-love. A reminder if you will, that YOU are amazing and deserving of love just the way you are. Whether you fit into one of society’s supposed “perfect” boxes or dance to the beat of your own drum, we’re all a work in progress just trying to win our battles each day. So in honor of love and being true to ourselves, treat yourself this month. Buy yourself your favorite treat, watch your favorite show or movie, and just take a moment each day to look in the mirror and tell yourself “I’m awesome the way I am.”
With the onset of spring fast approaching, I often find myself wanting to redecorate to give my surroundings a fresh look. Sprucing up my home is therapeutic for me and I’ve found some lovely things recently. =EC Designs= has created some fun new furniture sets for your homes inworld which are currently being exclusively sold at the SL Home and Garden Expo. The Home and Garden Expo is a huge event that supports Relay For Life, a cause near and dear to many of us. One of their new adorable sets that is up for 50/50 Donations is the Garden Patio Set. Included in this set are a loveseat, chair, and table that are spring green and golden yellow. Both the chair and the loveseat have several female and male single sits which can be accessed in any sitting spot. Couples can cozy up together on the Loveseat to enjoy a nice afternoon in the sun.
If you’re looking for living room pieces, they have you covered there too with their Lawson Living Room set that has two different loveseats, an armchair, coffee tables, and a lamp which is one of their 100% donation sets. Their Gemini Lounger is up for 100% RFL donations as well. If you’re up for hunting, their Laced Up Chair is their hunt prize and will add a fun quirky vibe to any room in your house. Lastly, they have an item up for auction for the Expo. The Sheltered Lounge provides a cozy shady spot to relax or cuddle up with your loved one, which is being offered up in an event exclusive color.

Looking back on the past 12 or so months, I have been battling demons and dealing with some of the toughest health issues of my life. Four ER trips, a two-month stint in the hospital following major surgery, and multiple traumas that no one should have to go through made up the majority of my 2019. Every year has its ups and downs, but seldom have I felt close to breaking. I felt betrayed by my body. Unable to get through my day without sheer exhaustion from struggling to function.
And yet…I’ve pulled through the darkness. I’ve climbed over that terrifying mountain and made it to the other side, finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. While I’ve beaten the hardest part of this past year, the road ahead won’t be easy as I heal, strengthen, and grow as a person both mentally and physically. Thankfully, I won’t be alone on my journey. My family, friends, and partner have all been behind me, supporting and cheering me on each step of the way in my recovery. While I’ve never doubted their support, I admit to doubting myself at times. I’m only human.
With the dawn of a new year and a new decade, I hope to find renewed strength and love for myself. 2019 knocked me down but 2020 is already showing promise if I continue to move forward. As always, I’m not going to give in. Not going to fall. I’m still breathing. ♥

Hello lovely people! I am back again with a few more looks with goodies to be found at the Cart Sale. If you still have enough energy for some great 10 linden deals, you won’t want to miss out on these.
My first look is both casual and flirty. Perfect for a day downtown or at the club. The Ava Outfit from Kuid has a floral pattern that reminds me of the vibrant looks from various latin countries. This look comes with the top, skirt, and a crotch cover for modesty’s sake. Sizes included are fitted for the Maitreya, Slink Physique and Hourglass, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus mesh bodies. Find this outfit and others for 10 linden at the Cart Sale. My shoes are from CatsClaw Designs and come with a hud to change the color. These will look great with any mini skirts, dresses or even with some jeans. Models included fit Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza feet.
My second look is from Jellyroll. Multiple colors of this lovely gown are available and there is even a winter inspired gown. There is some clipping on the straps in the back on the Maitreya fitted size but the rest of the gown fits nicely. Other sizes included fit TMP, Slink Physique and Hourglass, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus mesh bodies. Wear this dress out on the beach or dress it up for a formal gathering.
Lastly, Dream Factory has some sexy outfits up for grabs. My dress Babet is smooth and sexy with perfect teasing fit around my curves. Sizes included for this great piece are for Maitreya, eBody, Slink Physique and Hourglass, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus mesh bodies. I am also wearing a tattoo in all three of my pictures from Innerjoy Love Designs called Lace Luv that covers the back, shoulders, upper chest, and other regions on the body. These tattoos come with a tattoo layer, omega applier, and Maitreya Lara applier.
There’s only a couple more days to get these deals at the Cart Sale so don’t miss out!

Greetings beautiful people, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted and a lot has changed for me in a short time as it always does. I’m here this time to share some goodies you can find to help make your home festive and cozy for the holiday season. Cart Sale opened a few days ago with lots of bargains and Dictatorshop has new items up for grabs as well. If you’re unfamiliar with the Cart Sale, it’s held at the Wash and features items on sale for 10 lindens and merchants are allowed to sell one item for 50 lindens. The current round is Winter Wonderland themed and there’s some great wintery attire to find like the jammies from Sweet Willows. I found the Jester set fun but there are some other sets available that are more holiday themed if you prefer. Each jammie set comes in sizes for Maitreya, Slink Physique, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies. The fit is really nice and makes the bum look great! There are some new releases from Dictatorshop that I have out, the first of which is the Chesterfield Coffee Table from Dictatorshop. Two versions are available, PG or Adult Vanilla, which allows you to pick what you need to complete your living room set. In the Adult Vanilla version, there are singles poses for both female and males as well as couples poses that will make your toes curl. By clicking the logo, you can change the wood textures and metal textures. Dictatorshop also has a new fireplace in the main store that comes with a bondage version and a decor only version. Textures are customizable and you can choose from a selection of art photos to display or add your own. The Chateau Bondage Fireplace has poses that work for one submissive or two and is a good option for people who enjoy objectification play. For both the table and fireplace, please note that I have slightly tinted them darker to match my cabin a little better.
To add some festive charm to the room, I have a couple things from KK Home that are at the Cart Sale. The Hunter Log Rack goes well with any fireplace and will help you stay warm inside while the weather gets cold. I also grabbed the Nutcracker to place on the mantle because it reminds me of the ones I own in real life.
Lastly, Dark Knight Decor has some great pieces at the Cart Sale that are festive and a little quirky. Two Shadowboxes are up for grabs. I grabbed the blue version and hung it up on my wall for a little winter sparkle.
I will be sharing more sneak peeks so check back soon for more Cart Sale goodies!
