Prepping For A Monster Bash


With all of the prep that goes into a good Halloween party, decor is always a top priority. What better way to save some time than to find a full room already perfectly matched and ready to go? The Halloween Living Room from Bee Designs at Halloweentown is the perfect answer. Spooky and cooky as well as comfy and cozy, you may not want to change decor for the rest of the year either.

Is It Time To Go Yet Mum?


As we hover just on the brink of October, Halloween is already running rampant. Just like all the other children, the fur babies can not wait to get out for Tricks and Treats !

This wonderfully created Dark Side living room from InkMe gives off all those special Tim Burton vibes, which could also be used for Beetlejuice vibes as well. The possibilities are endless, just like those for this super versatile Marjolein dress and Lizzy Boots from LooKatMe. HexPosed once again comes in to save the day with the perfect for any occasion SF 3 pose set. Did I mention that a bow tie is the perfect accessory for anything? Especially if it is the Charming Collar by Short Leash !

Things Are Getting Steamy


Things are certainly getting steamy at The Engine Room this month, from September 20th – October 20th. Steampunky that is.

Cerridwens Cauldron did not disappoint, as if they ever could, with the Fabulous Planet Globe, available in brass or cast iron. The menu includes globe options for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Luna, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, as well as overlay options, animations on/off and light colors.

This super adorable A Wizard’s Mummy couples pose is from the Halloween collection at Something New. The pose comes with a silver goblet prop, but I chose to use the Old Treasures – Cain’s Chalice which is a free gift available at The Engine Room.

Heart of The Home


Growing up, we always ate as a family at the table. It was the one time of day that we all spent together. There was no television on, no radio. We enjoyed each others company and conversation. Children were allowed to take part in the conversations with adults without being being told to hush or stop interrupting. We learned how to disagree without raising our voices or become angry. Our opinions mattered, at least until the table was cleared.

This classic Tarvie Dining Room Table and Chair Set from Why Not ? brought back some very treasured memories of family dinner.

Morning Munchies


They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but who has the energy to wake up and cook? I know I sure don’t, but breakfast for dinner is a favorite in this house. I am thinking of doing french toast and bacon tonight to be honest.

With this fabulous Delavorar Breakfast Bar from Why Not ? You can have your breakfast and eat it too, any time of the day you like. It is available in 4 wood colors and comes with loads of props and decor to make your mornings delicious. You can complete your kitchen with the Rannoch Kitchen also by Why Not and some bits and pieces from the Carberry Country Kitchen Set !

The Power Of Pink


We have all heard the ever popular phrase ‘Sex Sells’, and for better or worse, it is a quite accurate statement. Over the years, I have found that ‘Pink Sells’ is also just as accurate. By my totally unprofessional and non-scientific calculations, ‘Pink Sex Sells Best’ is probably the ultimate in marketing practices !

While today’s post has nothing to do with sex, it does have to do with pink ! I myself, am not the type of girl that gravitates towards pink, in our system, that would be Kait or Bekkah, but it does not dissuade me from being able to enjoy the color from the perspective of someone that does like it.

For me, the Luanne Bedroom Set from Bee Designs, is not one that I would choose for my personal bedroom, but it is one that Bekkah thinks is absolutely wonderful ! Tho she feels the lack of fairies is disheartening, but she has more than enough of those to add her own !

While I have not added fairies, I did add some neon angel wings and daisy flower wall decor from the Isabella Bedroom Set, also from Bee Designs, to help fill out the decor.

What’s Your Favorite Color?


What’s your favorite color?

This should be a fairly simple question to answer, but it is anything but. Any question that starts with ‘What’s your favorite …” is never an easy answer, especially for a DiD system. Just like asking any group of multiple individuals, you are going to get multiple answers. That is even without taking into account that most people have multiple favorite colors. One for clothing, one for decor, one for accents. So many choices, how are we supposed to choose one ?

Within our system, for many years colors played a significant role in our identities. It was our own personal way of identifying who was driving the bus, even if no one else was aware of the color code. It was also generally a good clue of determining who bought the new clothes in the closet. Purple or black was almost always Prin, if it was pink, it was Kait or Bekka, Beth leaned red or blue depending on shade and purpose. For many years, Oree loved orange but banished anything green, till Sam and Angie made green acceptable again.

Why Not ? has made this absolutely gorgeous Polanach Sofa Set that comes in the most stunning shade of teal. The set comes with Bento single,couple and friends animations as well as rezzable props and a LI of 46 for the entire set.

Summer All Over Again


In recent posts I have mentioned how the end of summer is upon us, and autumn is getting ready to take over. While this is true for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the southern half of the planet is just now sliding into summer. The beauty of Second Life is that you can live your best beach life all year long if you wish to!

This super cool Beach Days set from Bee Designs is available at the mainstore and is sure to help you enjoy the surf and sand, or even around a pool in the yard.

Holding On To Summer


Today is September 1st, and while autumn does not officially begin until the 21st, Starbucks has released Pumpkin Spice everything ( insert gag here ) and retail stores are stocking Christmas items, therefore, Summer is on its way out. We may not be looking forward to pumpkin spice season, but we sure are looking forward to not sweating to death season !

This beautiful Achnacarry Modern U Sofa Set from Why Not ? is perfect for hanging out with friends on those last few weeks of warm get together weather. The sectional sofa has 14 cushion texture options, 7 solids and 7 patterns and there are 6 wood options. The Umbrella is rezzable by clicking the arm rest, and clicking the table will offer you multiple options for rezzable decor. The set includes the 2 banana plants as well. You can find the entire set at the Why Not ? mainstore.

That Plant Life


Once again, there is an example of the polar opposite lives that we live in Second Life, than the one we live outside of it. We adore having plants mixed in with our decor, and landscaping. Outside of this wondrous place, our sister got our green thumb along with her own.

There is nothing, that we are aware of, that she has attempted to grow,and failed. Tho it is likely that she just does not mention those when she is showing off her green babies on FB!

Not only is she growing the usual veggies, but her herb garden is something akin to an Apothecary’s Wal-Mart ! She has been taking classes on medicinal herbs for the past several years, and she swears by the ways of the Shroom tinctures. We have yet to be inclined to take her up on the offer to try them, but we have smelled them, and are not keen. But, to each is own, and her gardening is what keeps her sane, so we hope she continues doing it for many years to come ! She has 3 daughters, ages 15 – 5, she is going to need all the sanity she can get for a few years.

When surrounding yourself with plants it is important to have a comfy place to sit and relax. You can’t beat this Traprain Bamboo Patio Set in white from Why Not? Includes Chairs and Table as well as the table decor. The chairs are scripted for texture change pillows and cushions, so you can stylize in a variety of ways and make the look your own.
