Hadleigh and Me

TSKHadleigh1
Click image to see larger.

It's been warm lately but that never stopped me from looking my best! I got dressed in That's So Kyoot's Newest outfit, Hadleigh!

You can get Hadleigh in many colors (blue, yellow, purple, pink, & green). Green is my favorite color and it brings out my eyes so I decided to go with that. It's also a pastel version which is a nice springy color.

The outfit also includes a HUD to add tights and underwear or just underwear. Usually I am not a fan of tights but these ones are cute and it was a nice change for me to add them!

The shoes, bow, and bracelets that are included also come with built in resize scripts so that you can adjust them smaller or larger to fit you perfectly, I love it!

Individually each dress color is 85L or if you just can't decide, buy the fatpack for 300L! Head on over to That's So Kyoot and go get one or some and enjoy the spring/summer!

Hair: Truth - Evelyn (in cherry)
Nails: Lil Smartie Pants - Pastel Nails (comes in HUD with multiple colors)
Pose: Hani & Lilu - <3 Nick (no londer open)

Original Art and Gachas....knowing where my addictions lie

As some of you may know, Mad City is closing soon. This does NOT, however, mean that Madpeas is going anywhere. It's actually quite the opposite. Madpeas is still hard at work on UNIA and I can't wait for the next update. This is going to be the biggest game in SL and it will be awesome!



In the last days of Mad City, they are holding an art gacha festival. There are 11 artists who have a gacha set up all with original artwork. Everything is under 100L a play (I think the highest was 75L) and there is some amazing artwork to be had!


If you go to check it out and test your luck (because even these gachas have rares!) be sure to have a look around the area too! there are some great works of art out for display! Sculptures and even samples of what the artists have made! The sculptures holding the gachas are a work of art themselves.



I played a few and crosses my fingers. Still couldn't grab the rare from Sabbian Paine's gacha but I got one of the others from it that I liked.  It's adds to my skybox nicely!


I also got some artwork from Rag Randt and Thea Maiman.



If you want to check it out for yourself, head down to Mad City before the 31st and enjoy!

You Enchant Me

Enchantment is over halfway over and if you haven't checked it out yet you should! Once this round is over you'll have to wait for the next one in 3 months.

You might remember my earlier blogpost a couple weeks back talking about Enchantment here: Enchantment Blogpost

I'm stopping in again for a refresher/reminder of the event and a how to!

This event is a bit different than ones you might be used to. Instead of 1 location with items you go store to store. You Purchase an item specific to the event that will be labeled as having a stamp card in it. Once you get the stamp card you go around to each store in the event and click the stamp machine to get a stamp. Once you have collected 20 stamps the card will give you a SLurl to a prize location and you can redeem one card for 1 prize. That's 20 prize options! You can wear more than 1 card at once to save stamping time (the machines will stamp any cards you are holding just be sure to only wear one when you redeem for a prize).

Example:
I went to MishMish and bought the Maleficent doll with hold pose and blinking eyes. She's so stinkin cute! I hardly ever wear dolls or stuffed animals so I rezzed her out in my room (awesome that she is just 1Li)


This product from MishMish includes the stamp card. So I attached it,


and now I am ready to start collecting stamps! I went to all the stores listed below:
Peqe
The Annex
Junbug
Apsara
Lark
Unrepentant
Kalopsia
O.M.E.N.
anc Ltd.
Mina Hair
Luminary
Stitched
!Ohmai
tsg
!bang poses 
MishMish
Violent Seduction
Tarnished
BOOM
Hopscotch

I looked for the stamp machine. It looks like this:


and I clicked it in every store. The stamps show up on your card so you can see who you are missing if you accidentally forget any.


When finished collecting all the stamps I took the SLurl it gave me in Chat and tped to the prize location. It's really pretty!



So many prizes to choose from! While a few won't work for SL kids there are still options for us! (and definitely many choices for our 'dults!) I chose the hourglass set from !Ohmai.


The prize comes with 5 different hourglasses at 3Li each! They are mod so you can resize if you want. (note that if you make it larger your Li may change depending on the size). The sand is animated and these look so great in any room of the house!

Time is running out to do this event so hit up the list of stores I posted (click the poster at any of those stores for a Notecard with the SLurls in them to make it easier) and have fun!

WHAT I WORE:
Outfit: Minuet - Eleanor Cardi & Capris - Limited 50 Event (OUT OF STOCK NOW)
Glasses: by emm - glasses 005
Hair: Truth - Eveleyn - cherry

There is one stall there that has batman shirts. I LOVE batman. LOVE him. So I grabbed the batman shirt and there is also a gatcha in the same stall where you can play and get a superhero poster. I got VERY lucky and on the 2nd round I got batman! (my other one was wolverine and he is pretty cool too! Especially since he is Marvel!)

It has since been hung up in my room, where it belongs. Because, Batman! It makes me happy! I love the look of the poster and even better? It's only 1 Li! perfect! The stall to find these at All the Little Things is SprinklyWinks! the shirts are 50L a piece and the poster gatcha is 50L a play!

That's So {Kyoot} and the Lazy Sunday!

As a shopaholic, I never run out of anything to wear. But I also never stop having new clothes to try! It's at least a fun addiction!

Lazy Sunday has made Sundays a great day of the week (even if I work every Sunday for the rest of my RL). That's So {Kyoot} is a store that is always releasing cute things and today I am here to show you what TSK is releasing for Lazy Sunday!



A Dress! but not just aaaany dress! a super cute dress with super cute accessories that even made me replace my favorite glasses, that's hard to do. I love those glasses.

The sandals are mod so you can easily fit to your feet. I say it a million times but I will say it again, having mod shoes or shoes with a resize script is something that gets 10000 points from me (I'm a TD kid and most people size the shoes, even in the Kid versions, for babies.) they have a cute bow on them that matches the dress!


Do you see what I mean about the cute glasses!? a bow on the corner to match the dress but I will be wearing these for a while! <3

A close up picture of the accessories to this outfit. It comes with 2 bracelets, glasses, and a matching hairbow!

This outfit will be out starting tomorrow for 70L at That's So {Kyoot} for Lazy Sunday!

(an extra picture because I look cute and also a bear)

**This is a store specific post. If you have any questions about anything else in this post drop me a NC (I cap) in-world: Audra Graves or leave a comment below! I will happily answer!

Get Snug with Shutterbug!

I love family photos. I love looking at other people's family photos. I love looking at my own family photos. I love taking family photos. In RL I am a photographer and I specialize in photographing kids and families. So it's something dear to my heart to be able to provide photos like this for these families.

These are memories that when you look back on them in a couple years or even just a couple days down the road you will be filled with warm fuzzies! I have a lot of family photos in SL. My parents are always happy to let me play around with poses and props and take photos! They get these memories too so it works out!

Shutterbug has released some poses and there are a few parent/ child options in there that I snagged and got some pictures with! I giggle every time I see these photos now! They are going to be great memories of me and my mommy from that night!


With Mother's Day coming up this is a great pose to get a photo with your mother (or father if that is your thing!) The pose comes with holdable flowers so I can look like I got mommy some flowers! She loves them! This pose is available now at Style Me and is soft linked for easy adjusting!



The two pictures above are prizes from Shutterbug's gatcha at the Woodland Treasures Gatcha event for the month of May! They each come with their candy prop and make great touching photos! Sharing is caring you guys! Give your momma some chocolate! The candy jar photo is my current fav and I took a close up for my in-world profile pic too! It makes me laugh so much! My mommy was laughing the whole time too! I mean, CANDY! right!?

You can play the gatcha for the above 2 poses now over at Woodland Treasures Gatcha!

I hope you enjoy making memories with your family!!

*. emm and the case of the cute decor!

*.emm is a quaint little store with the sunlight shining on it just right. It's so inviting!

What's more inviting?

The cute stuff inside!

I mean, you can't go wrong with items that come inside this cute little package.


2 of her current releases (the other 2 you will see in upcoming blog posts for Family Flea Market and Woodland Treasure Gatcha) are what I will be showing you today!

Since we're on the topic of cats (We were talking about cats weren't we?), let me show you this memo board.

It's perfect for the cat lady in all of us (yes don't you men and boys deny it!). The Memo board features some cute note pages, photos, and cards on the board. The board comes in 3 colors so you can purchase the one above (colored). Or you can purchase it in a light wood or dark wood version!

My Favorite part about this board is the grocery list.


Yes more cats should be on everyone's grocery list. I also love the little key spot and the pens in the corner! The details in this are just wonderful!

You can purchase one of these now at her store in world! *. emm { shop }

My mom let me keep one of the next item out at home in our living room and I think it's a great addition!


Fawning over you Clocks! Clocks shaped like a fawn! just like the cat memo boards these come in light wood, dark wood, and white. 1LI and a great addition to your home!

These are out for The Neighborhood today at her store *. emm { shop }!

I hope you see a bunch of other cute things at her store because they are there!
