It’s almost Spring and spring means flower patterns galore!!! I went to artilleri and bought the Carrie dress because it’s totally spring-y and retrolicious. I feel like a posh retro housewife now. The artilleri Lovely Lily hair flower is sooo cute! It changes textures on touch, and includes 2 different shades of pink — pink and hot pink! <3
Easter is just around the corner, prompting me to don my favorite bunny accessories. This Bunny Bag from Everfaery holds a special place in my heart. I remember being in awe of Fever Fae’s incredible talent in creating the animesh bunny, showcasing remarkable skill throughout her work. If you haven’t had the chance to visit Everfaery, I highly recommend checking it out!
In my quest for the perfect outfit, I shopped my inventory and realized that I haven’t yet featured this beautiful Himeko Dress from Hime*Dream on my blog! It’s a good reminder that occasionally revisiting our virtual closet can lead us to rediscover some hidden gems we might have overlooked.
Additionally, I created a new Coastal Day Cycle. This one showcases delightful transitions from sunrise to sunset, complete with a serene nighttime setting adorned with twinkling stars. You can purchase the JuicyBomb Coastal Day Cycle on Marketplace!
I think LG is a fairly new skin brand, and they’re already doing fantastic work. They have so much potential, although right now, they’re still rough around the edges. I think they have nailed some aspects of their skins and need to work on others, I’ll discuss those below. However, the *most* important feature on a skin is a lovable face, and to me, Ayil is a face that can be easily worn by many cos it has soft curvy lips and a smooth skin tone.
Each LG skin tone has 10 gorgeous makeups, light and dark brows, and blonde and black hair base option.
I love the Dark brows, I think it’s very realistic looking and has a great shape. I’m a bit disappointed that the Light brows is completely different and looks like someone had an accident with a razor. I guess this is an artistic decision, but as someone who often favors lighter hair and brows, I feel a bit cheated by it.
Now onto something kinda ugly, which can be overlooked if you never take your clothes off, but still, you’ll know it’s there. I don’t like that the nipples and belly button has a slight reddish orange hue to it, and does not match the rest of the skin at all. This might be good uh… RP skin, if you know what I mean, but not something I would want to wear normally.
I do like the feet on this skin, even though the toe nails are a bit large, it has a nice & realistic look. I’ve come to accept that regular SL feet will always be slightly ugly, but some skin designers manage to create pretty decent looking feet.
This face is so pretty, I have a soft spot for base skin with little to no make-up.
If you’re curious about LG, these skins will be launching this weekend! Visit LG.
I fall in and out of love with skin brands, depending on how much I like the faces. Around December of last year, I fell out of love with Curio. It has been 8 months since my last review of Curio skins, and in those 8 months nothing really lured me back until Gala Phoenix released these new Candy skins, and they are oh so delicious.
Gala Phoenix is the queen of sweet young faces, and her range of makeups is stellar. I love that for a mere $3,000L, all skin tones, makeups and options are included.
As a long time fan of Gala Phoenix and her gorgeous skins, I am so happy that Candy is closer to what I use to love about Curio skins back in 2008/2009. I think that Candy’s face is slightly lighter than the body (but not as bad as on the previous skins). I can totally live with this, cos the face is so so sweet, but it may be more noticeable on darker skin tones. Check out the demos before you buy, of course.
I went Hello Kitty Village last night, to see my childhood favorites interpreted digitally. The 4 regions are stamped with Hello Kitty everywhere, free rides if you can bear the lag, and a few shopping items made by Astralia, in collaboration a brand in real life called JimmyPaul. You can read all about the event on the AstraliaWorld site.
Some time ago, Astralia received licensing rights from Sanrio to sell Second Life content (decor, clothing) with Sanrio characters on them, with the most recognizable character being Hello Kitty. Brands in real life have cashed in on the appeal of Hello Kitty & friends for decades, so it wasn’t a surprise to see it eventually make its way into the virtual world.
The Astralia x Hello Kitty 45th anniversary event runs from November 1st – November 15th. This theme-park like event is packed with rides, photo-op places, and some clothing & decor by Astralia. You can pay the event $799L for a souvenir picture, or you can be like me and take your own selfie! I saved money by buying nothing at this event, which wasn’t hard, since I don’t like plastic kiddy colors.
Tip: You can get a free balloon by clicking the giant gift box in the VIP area.

Construction is underway at Aurelias! Our town is growing, and we’ve just finished building a lighthouse. I’m so excited about the arrival of autumn, my favorite season. We had hoped to launch the region last year about this time, but we didn’t make it in time for autumn. I’m so very excited for you to experience autumn in Aurelias, I think you’ll find it very cozy.
