A far more inspiring throne than a porcelain one, and much more fragrant to be sure. The Xplicit Furnishings Dominant Throne is now available at Whore Couture for the month of March.

We all have heard, and most of us have used at one point or another “Oh to live in simpler times”. It does sound good, but the reality of an idea is never quite as fun as the idea itself. What we oft wistfully refer to as simper times, in all reality, were far harder than our fantasies allow for.
Lets start with the #1 reality check that most choose to overlook, and who wouldn’t really. Poop ! Yes, I said poop. In those ‘simper times’ there was poop, every where. A simple life of horse and buggy, involves those horse’s having to poop, and unless you lived in a posh city, that poop did not get scooped up off the public streets. Livestock of various breeds, were grazed and bred, and they all poop too !
#2 simpler times bubble booster, lack of variety in foods. Lets face it, in those simpler times, you were cooking what you ate, and you most likely ate the same thing over and over and over your entire life. There was no grabbing a pizza or happy meal on the way home because you just can not even think about cooking. If you, or someone in your house did not cook, you were not eating !
I am sure this list could grow on indefinitely, but for the sake of this post and my train of thought, I will leave you to come up with some more of your own. What I will leave you with today, are all of these fantastic goodies from HISA and HEXtraordinary, that will make your mind drift to think of those poopy boring simpler times.

Feeling like today’s lighting is more than a bit a-LURE-ing. Okay, that might be a bit too dad joke punny even for us, but it is what it is. Troy is far better at dad jokes, but that is to be expected, it goes with the sad dad dancing. I am so going to get a growl for that once he reads this, plus a chuckle I am sure too.

Dragonlings are such an integral part of Kait & Troy’s relationship, we could not pass up the chance to showcase them. We do adore our fantasy scenes as much as our modern decor ones, and this was no exception.
While getting this scene together we realized that we had totally derped and forgotten to blog 2 holiday items from Bloom last month, and wondered how we could incorporate them into a non holiday post, and this was it ! The glowing orbs in the sky and on the floor are actually Christmas decorations that we have slightly modified from their original state to give the fantasy glowy effect that we loved.
For the Bloom – Suspended Bauble Tree we used Edit Face and turned the hanging strings invisible, then turned down the opacity of the baubles themselves and added a slight glow effect to achieve the floating orb look.
Similarly, for the Bloom Originals – Wall Tree we turned the outside metal tree faces invisible and added a glow and lower opacity for the baubles to add some glowy orbs to the floor.
Remember, that many modifiable items can be utilized in ways other than their originally intended form to achieve a totally new look. If you want to add a little sparkle to your scenes, check in your holiday folders and see what you could be using year round instead !

Today we are thankful for being raised to enjoy and appreciate books. Reading was never something that was forced upon us, except in school of course when you were required to read what the rest of the class was. We were read to every night, from as early on as we can remember, and we continued to be read to, long after we were able to read ourselves. It was part of the bedtime routine, and fostered in us, a love to read on our own.
One of our favorites was and still remains J.R.R Tolkien. The worlds those stories opened up to us, lead us to wanting to find and explore more of them. Fantasy fiction with a medieval feel, magic, dragons, elves, dwarves. So many adventures to be had, and ones we still love to this day, with the world of Elan from Michael J Sullivan, for whom our name Arysta was taken. If you have not read this outstanding series, we highly recommend it. While we do not find the time to sit and read like we used to, we do fully utilize our Audible and Libby apps for audio books, and listen rather than watch the television during the day. Movies and shows are for after Troy is done with work and we are snuggled together.
The CHEZ MOI Georgian Patio Set is available at Equal10 from November 10 – December 5 is the perfect place to curl up with a good book, or to snuggle with your favorite snuggle bug for a good movie.
Cerridwens Cauldron has released this stunning Drake Lantern for this round of Enchantment from November 12 – November 30. With the usual texture menu you know and love, allowing you to customize the look and feel of your lanterns to suit any decor.

Today we are thankful for having a home, both RL and SL. While our RL home may not ever be something that graces Better Homes and Gardens, and our SL home is a grass textured platform in the sky, they are home to us. They are that ‘safe space’ away from the rest of the world where no one cares that we live in pajama pants.

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.
