I use WordPress for my blog, and I have this awesome plugin called Jetpack installed that keeps track of my site stats and other useful things. Today I noticed that the plugin had generated the 2011 Annual Report for my site, and I just wanted to share with you guys!
Big huge thank you to all of you (readers) and also top 5 commenters (Alexxandra Sorbet, Vianne, Ellie, Mina Bergiere, and Lisanna! (No URLs were given for Vianne or Ellie, but if you want links next year, be sure to include your URL when you comment! Even a link to your Flickr or social media account would help the plugin identify you.)
While sorting my inventory today, I realized that I have lots and lots of Donna Flora jewelry! I love this brand so much, and even though Donna Flora has clothes, hair, and shoes, my favorite items are the beautiful jewelry sets.
I’ve decided to sort through my huge pile and make a collage of 10 of my favorite Donna Flora necklaces. It was hard to pick just 10, cos there’s soooo many more that are equally beautiful.
I like Donna Flora cos every necklace is unique, and so realistic! Also, Valentine’s Day is next month, and I highly recommend Donna Flora if you’re looking for gifts for someone special. Everything is transferable 🙂
What about you? Where do you get your jewelry from? Make a collage of 10 jewelry pieces that you love from any single brand, or a mix of brands in SL! Blog about your favorite brand or make a collage, and submit it to the Blog Challenge group on Flickr. Be sure to share a link in the comments so I can check it out!
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.
Comments are now fixed! I must have broken something on the site a few days ago, and all the comments disappeared along with the comment form. It should be fixed now, so comment away! 🙂
My friend Umeko tipped me off about the fabulous free Mon Amie friends pose chair inside the *.:Mon amie-goer:.* group (check notices!). It's adorable and includes 5 different lounging poses changeable via clicking the cushion. The Mon Amie pose chair is by Tuli Asturias and has great shabby chic textures. This is perfect for my place, I mix and match a lot of items from beachy to french.. I do it all! 😀
Can you believe this casual outfit only cost me $2L? The pants are from Zaara's shop and they're on sale for $1l for a limited time (I have no idea when it ends, so hurry!). Then, while I was at Mon Amie, browsing around, I saw a free t-shirts and tank tops gift box, also by Tuli. I think I look darn good for $2L! 😀
Oh Chloe, you’re irresistible. I’ve been having issues with my SL eyes popping out of my head (SL glitch?), so I’m wearing Chloe’s eyes again. Iris wrote a great review of Chloe over at NWN, and included links to reviews done by other SL residents too. If you still think we all look the same, look again! I think my Chloe doll has a Gogo flavor, and is different from everyone else!
Check out this new Beyond the Waves hairstyle from Exile. It’s so lovely, and can be worn with the color-changing flowers or without. I’m also trying a new hair color today — Mahogany, instead of my usual and darker Swiss color. Exile also has some gorgeous Pink fades, I promise to make a look with some pastel hair colors soon!
Awh, now I can thank you here. 😉
Thank you for the link. I didn’t know I’ve been THAT busy commenting. 😡
