It was Lexi who tagged me on Flickr to do the SL Bare Face Challenge; challenged accepted! I don’t usually wear lots of makeup, so it’s a hard task to bare my face even more, but I did so by taking off eyeliner, using smaller lashes, etc.

Hello from SL17B Enchant! You can preview the next Linden Home theme here – it’s Stilt Homes! Sand, sand everywhere! I’m a fan of beach homes, so you know I’ll definitely add a stilt home or two to my collection. I’m so glad these homes have single-story cottage-style options and open floor plans!

The world around us right now is changing, and a lot of people are rejecting old racist ideologies that have made up quite a bit of America’s history. It’s daunting to want to get outside and protest, but luckily, there’s a lot of messed-up things within Second Life you can turn your attention to. You don’t even need to leave your chair!

I’ve always thought that the teal green color from the old logo was a nod to the name and Linden tree. Trees are green and soothing. Please take a vote below, and let me know if you like the old logo or the new logo!
