Amethyst


Amethyst is a member of the quartz family of minerals. It occurs naturally in volcanic rock, yet is unique in the fact that its shades of purple or violet are never uniform – So even tho it is all classified as the same mineral, each piece, is totally different and unique unto itself.

Amethyst is also considered to be quite a powerful tool in healing. It is said to have the power to alleviate stress and headaches and improve blood circulation for better health. Anyone suffering from insomnia, may find that keeping Amethyst crystals and gemstones close to their beds as they tried to sleep.

Amethyst absorbs and emits far-infrared radiation, which means that it is genuinely believed to be physically beneficial, if not controversial, when it comes to easing pain, improving circulation and inhibiting bacterial growth.

Any desires to enhance physical healing via the use of far-infrared radiation in Amethyst gemstones should only be pursued on the grounds of medical advice – we are not medical professionals and will not be responsible for anyone getting Amethyst crystals stuck in any orifices, swallowed, snorted or any other freak kinky thing you want to try.

All of that being said, I have to say that this stunning Stone In Love Amethyst Set from Second Nature Jewellery is sure to catch the eye of anyone in the vicinity. It is a bold set, meant to draw attention, in all the best ways !

Sometimes a photo just happens spontaneously. I was not even planning on doing a blog photo, just just playing around with lighting and settings and shadows in Black Dragon the other night, and I was camming different angles and BAM. I was so taken with the angle and lighting that I snapped it and fell in love with it all at once.

There is not a single sponsored item in this shot, everything I have on was just a look I had put together while out shopping. Sometimes, the best things just happen out of nowhere, when you least expect them.

Dragonflies


We always seem to link people with a symbol. Sometimes it is an animal, or a certain flower, or super hero, whatever it happens to be for that person. Once you have associated that item with a person, it is that person you think of every time you see one. For us, dragonflies will always be associated with our Grandmother. She who raised us.

She has collected other things over the years, but for us, if we think of her, it is dragonflies that come to mind first. When I saw this stunningly delicate necklace and earring set from Second Nature Jewellery, I thought of her and smiled.

End Of The Dogs


Today is August the 12th, and officially marks the end of the ‘Dog days of Summer’, which run from July 3rd to August 11th of each year. The phrase itself is a reference to Sirius, the Dog Star. Sirius is the brightest star visible from any part of Earth and a part of the constellation Canis Major.

July 23rd, Sirius rises and sets with the Sun. In Ancient Greece and Rome, they believed Sirius actually gave off heat and added to our Sun’s warmth, accounting for the long stretch of sultry weather. This stretch of time was referred to as diēs caniculārēs, or “dog days.” Thus, the term Dog Days of Summer came to mean the 20 days before and 20 days after this alignment of Sirius with the Sun—July 3 to August 11 each year.

Now that you have had your daily educational moment, I will direct your attention to the gorgeous necklace and earrings that are adorning my sunkissed pixels. Both items are from Second Nature Jewellery and are out at a special price for The Saturday Sale this weekend only at the main store ! The earrings are un-rigged, but positioned for leLutka Human Ears. The necklace is un-rigged and resize scripted.

Dragon Training


We all know the saying ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ , but we are more kitty dragon unicorn than dog, so we love learning new things. Since we now have a system that can handle shadows, we have decided it was time to slay the Black Dragon and all of it’s bells, whistles and graphic sliders.

The lovely Pickle over at Kaleidoscope directed us to Swain’s BD Settings. You can find those and a plethora of tips, tricks and other helpful info from the Facebook group Photography Help Tips & Tricks SL Edition.

Even with the graphic presets there have still been headaches and frustration tears involved. A large part of it, is that we are so used to doing things ‘the old way’, that we are fighting our own natural instincts to adapt to new surroundings. We will get there. Today’s clique is the first taken with Black Dragon, and a little bit of post editing in Photoshop.

With new tricks come new releases! The stunning Luxor necklace and earrings from Second Nature Jewellry are worthy of any dragon’s horde, and you can pick your very own up at the main store or on marketplace !

Hubba Bubba


Of all the senses, scent is most closely linked to memory. Studies have shown that people can remember a scent with 65% accuracy after one year while visual memory drops to 50% after only a few months. The smells we experience play a crucial role in how we associate with memories and places.

Even at nearing 50 years old, the scent of some Hubba Bubba bubblegum can send us directly back like a time travel machine. If you were going to have a contest to see who could blow the biggest bubble, you better be chewing some Hubba Bubba ! Juicy Fruit, was for driving your grandmother crazy while you snapped it, but blowing required the good stuff !

Not only does the scent conjurer images of childhood, but it quite easily has an associated color. No other color could ever represent Hubba Bubba, like pink. From the wrapper to the gum itself. bubble gum should be pink !

When you have DiD, Dissociative Identity Disorder, good memories become something that you horde more fiercely than a dragon might sit upon its’ treasure. These are precious gems in a world with dark corners and deep pits. Bubblegum, is certainly one of the precious pink gemstones of a memory, except the one’s that involve gum in our hair, those are an entirely different matter !

When it comes to memories, we all have our ‘stuff’ that we attach our memories to. Those things we have in a drawer, or in a box in the closet, that even tho they are kept tucked away, we know that we can open the drawer, or the box, and pull those memories back out to revisit them.

Sadly, a dear friend of ours, Sin Anatine, has lost all of her ‘stuff’ to the massive flooding that hit Kentucky last week. She was beyond blessed that she did not lose her life, nor the lives of her Momma or her Monkey niece. The things that are truly irreplaceable, survived.

While no one can ever bring back the items that those lifetimes of memories were attached to, we can help them to get ‘stuff’ to create new memories with. One way to do that, is to go on over to Camp Anatine, where you will find special items from multiple creators where 100% of the proceeds go to the Benefit For Sin fund, including the jewelry set show above from Second Nature Jewellery as well as Raffles and on Monday August 8th there will be another day full of live music as well.

Rebirth


After an extended 9 month Second Life vacation, we are back ! We made the choice to come back as a new account, a fresh clean inventory and a rejoining of our parts, stronger than we have ever been before.

When we were discussing what we wanted from our return, we all agreed that we wanted to blog again. It is something that we have all enjoyed individually, and so stepping back into that role was an easy decision.

Walking into a whole new account meant a plethora of choices for bodies, and heads and all the THINGS ! We have made the choice that we do not wish to play musical bodies / heads, and the eBody Reborn body, met all the preferences that we all had. LeLutka was a very easy brand decision, but it took a bit of demo time to finally decide on the Ora head.

We made a conscious decision that blogging this time around, was not going to become a “click and post” thing. We have enough experience with that, as well as over extending ourselves and our posts became more about meeting deadlines, and less about our own creativity and personality. So we hope that you look forward to the ramblings that will go along with our cliquing !
