MudHoney blows me away with this newly released Winter Livingroom set. This set is so calming on the eyes, the colors warm and inviting. The Winter Livingroom set includes everything you see in the picture above (all the furniture, accessories & light fixtures).
I’ve always really liked that MudHoney items are sold as 1 softlinked item you can drag from your Inventory -> to your home (or you can unbox the package if you prefer to arrange yourself). I love furniture but I really don’t like having to place them sometimes, especially if they have a lot of accessories that needs to be placed just right.

Love this dead tree branch detail! <3
Scale is important. I like furniture that feels a bit ‘over-sized’ because it works better when you want to rez your own pose cushions. I like the scale of the sofas & chairs, they’re just right for my preference. All MudHoney items are Modifiable though, so you can easily re-size or re-texture anything to your liking.
I’ve been thinking about SL22B, Second Life’s big birthday celebration, which is coming up next week. Around this time every year, I also find myself reflecting on whether I would buy SecondLifetime Premium Plus again in 2025.
Back at SL20B, Second Life introduced SecondLifetime Premium and SecondLifetime Premium Plus. It was a limited offer, and I was able to buy just one SecondLifetime Premium for $749 dollars. Then during SL21B, they gave us the option to upgrade from regular lifetime to Plus. I went for it and spent another $1,150 dollars to upgrade my main account. I also bought a brand new SecondLifetime Premium Plus for my alt at the full price of $1,899 dollars. So altogether, I’ve spent $3,789 dollars for two lifetime accounts.
Did I need two lifetime accounts? Last year, I would have said yes without hesitation. I wanted to lock in my Linden Homes permanently. I do not consider myself a creator, so the free uploads were not a huge deal for me. I also do not care about being in a hundred groups. The biggest appeal for me was living rent free in my Linden Homes. That was enough to justify it at the time.
Back then, I had a lot more confidence in Second Life as a company. These days, that confidence has faded. Would I buy another lifetime subscription this year? No, I would not. If they offer it again in very limited numbers, I guess my choice to pass gives someone else a shot at it. If you want one of these, you should pay attention during the Meet the Lindens event at SL22B next week and be ready to submit your ticket fast.
Lately, I keep asking myself how long a Second Lifetime really is. I hope the answer is forever, or at least long enough to break even. We are living in unpredictable times, and Second Life could disappear at any moment. None of us want that, but at the end of the day it is a company, and companies can go under. Everyone who bought Lifetime like I did is hoping Second Life stays around long enough for us to enjoy the full value of our long lifetime subscriptions.
Four amazing new hairstyles from Exile released this weekend. I’m showing just the two for the girls, you’ll have to visit the Exile blog to see the boy’s hair. Also be sure to check out The Dressing Room Blue for two more inexpensive new Exile hairstyles.
Merry Christmas, everyone! If you’re looking for something fun to do in SL today, check out the Inspiration Point Hunt! I started a few days ago, but didn’t finish the hunt. I still found lots of cute things from some of my favorite brands!
Another reason to love Christmas in SL, is all the fabulous holiday gifts from the brands that you’ve supported all year. I am wearing the hair & hat gift from LeLutka.
Now that the New Year is fast approaching, it is time to P U R G E my inventory! See you next year!
As I have mentioned before, I have been struggle to find “Elle” in Second Life – her look, her character and where she fits in after all these years. But I think I have accomplished one thing this week – I have found Elle’s face…
When I saw the Cynful ‘Denim RetroRomper’, I knew right away I wanted to wear it with artilleri’s fabulous Trixie hairstyle (with texture changing hair scarf). I wanted to make a sexy girl mechanic look… what do you think? I would totally get my oil change here if the mechanics had such cute & sexy uniforms!
