FIND YOUR BALANCE

Life is crazy unpredictable, utterly chaotic. It can hit us in every and in any aspect which can, may leave us gasping for breath. Ans one of my ways to cope with that? Workout, yoga or meditation. Yoga at its core means union - of the body, mind and soul. It's a balancing act that covers all. It gives strength of body, clarity of thoughts, laser focus and the gift of consciousness, the joy of being in the moment. To sum it all, if I am the high-wire artist Philippe Petit of the film, The Walk, yoga is my pole that saves me from my doom.

Hello! So today, I'm wearing Pacagaia Creation's latest group gift, Top & Shorts. It is a red tight sportswear which I love because I didn't have any worries of having my ohlalas peeking as I do my yoga routine this glorious sunny day by the lake at Devin. If you don't mind I still have some downward dog and more stretching to do before I head off and start my day. Tata! 😄

Hugs! ❤

THE CROWN THAT YOU NEVER TAKE OFF (Part 1)

Coco Chanel puts it this way, "a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life." Hair is a significant indicator and symbol for us even more for women. A newly-dyed, newly-styled, cut hair is a simple but total transformation  for any woman, lady or girl. Would you believe that? Yes it is! For some reason and you probably feel it too that when your hair looks good, you feel can conquer anything. As they say, "[their] mood depends on how good [their] hair looks". So the next time, you approach your lady, friend, ANYONE compliment them on their hair first and I guarantee you'll see their best side in a snap. *winks*

Hi everyone! It took me awhile to assemble this. Today let me guide you though "some" of the different facets of ladies with all the 8 NEW hairstyles I won from Phoenix's Lucky Letters. You know, patience does pay off. I waited and called out letters for a total of 11 hours to collect them all. And it is well worth it! Each hairstyle comes with 2 HUDs. First is the Colour Mix HUD with 20 colors. Second is the exclusive Rainbow HUD with 6 colors which can only be activated by wearing Phoenix's group tag.

So let's get it on!

TRAVEL WHERE THE WIFI IS WEAK

Travel where the wifi is weak, I've always wanted this. I want to go some place where no one I know can reach me, where I'm anonymous. A stranger. Not that I want my loves gone but I am a woman confident on my own. I can enjoy with myself. To be in a majestic haven, a small hidden treasure in the world untouched by most is what I lust for. Lust for that it makes me emotional. I yearn for my breath to be taken away.

For my backpacking, what I have on is BlackRoses's latest gift. It is a velvety Red Coat with neckwarmer. It is my one thing, other than Shi's Unisex Neckwarmer, that keeps me from freezing on my journey for that heaven I'm looKing for. Smiles as it is snuggling me cozy. This coat comes in all standardsizes and the neckwarmer comes with a HUD of 12 available colors.

I also put on my dark brown with nude eyelet knee-high Raysa boots from Pure Poison and to carry all my belongings with ease I brought my Travel Bag from Una.



Discover. Wander. Live. Radiate happiness. Hugs! ❤

GIRL ON FIRE...IN THE RUNWAY

2016 was a period of trial and error. Thankful for all the blessings and successes even more so to my failures and heartaches (oh yes! I had some episodes). All have made me wiser and stronger. And as another book in my life has closed, I want to start ablaze, powerful and in command!

Today I'm wearing a sultry yet classy and sophisticated lingerie from MMC named Freya. The details are gorgeous! It fits nicely on my Hourglass body without having the lines jagged which is always a plus. Then since I missed out on one of my awaited shows, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show I decided why not be an "Angel" on my own? And just in the nick of time, Caboodle released Draped Fae Wings for FLF. How cool is that? To add a high fashion feel to it, I wore my Iside set, Swallow's gift at Shiny Shabby and Phedora's Tatiana (unseen in the photo) which I've also blogged HERE.

So I put on those, and my first Bento head, Lelutka Simone 2.0, and a new skin specifically designed for it, Carolina in tone America from Glam Affair which comes with 8 eye makeups and 8 lipsticks. There are alot of things to love about this head. One of those is it's finally Omega compatible! Lelutka mesh head users have been asking for this for a long time and now it has been granted! The vast animations (24 anims), the ton of options through the HUD will give you the individuality that you desire. You just have to try it out!

Let's start this year fiery and fierce! We have 12 new chapters and 365 new chances! Write a good story today! Happy New Year! Hugs! ❤

SOMETIMES A PRINCESS NEEDS A BREAK FROM HER DUTIES...

...just like how we also need a break from our tasks. I realized I've been overworking myself lately. I'm hunting SL gifts, posting notices about it, inventory cleaning and organizing, blogging, scrambling from one photography idea to another, RL to-do's and holidays and more. I was all around! Doing too much than I can handle. Until it dawned on me, I need to take a break. Refresh. Replenish my mind because doing more...is not making me accomplish anything. Not just anything but anything with the finesse that I want. So I'm back after one session of meditation and a very looooong period of sleep much like Sleeping Beauty with more energy and better flow within the day. 

Today I'm wearing G Field's latest group gift, Winter Princess Gown. It is a floor-sweeping ball gown much what we see Disney princesses wear. A strapless gown, it is embellished with flowers in its bodice, upper arm cuffs, and all over the drapes behind. Beautiful and romantic, the draped red skirt, made of cloth with floral designs, compliments the shape of the ball gown well and is accented by ruffles in its hemline.  

This is the type of gown that makes our childhood imaginations finally a dream come true.

Of course I did not forget the hair. Princesses always wear their hair in a way that it carries their overall look and that's always seamless even when bursting with joy and into a song (Seriously how can I do that in real? XD). I thought so should I. So I wore this majestic gown with Solace by Truth, a hair with loose to effortless curls and braids to add more to my whole Disney-princess-for-a-day attire.

Hope you'll feel magical as I did wearing this. Hugs! ❤

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

Sometimes i just feel being one of of the guys. I always remember be yourself. Nobody has the right to tell you otherwise. I feel like grabbing my Unicorn Skateboard from Bad Unicorn putting a hat on Truth's Austen and exploring the streets Elysium of Tempemore. It's fun to be one of the guys from time to time. There's no need to fuss whether I look good or will my clothes get ripped/torn due to my kickturns and flips because all I'm wearing are Simona from N-Uno, Jessie Ripped Denim Skirt from Enertia and Whitney Work Boots from ILLI that make me comfortable in my own skin. I'm just blessed to have 4 bros, arm candies, shoulder to lean on, listener and adviser, BEST FRIENDS
in SL annd RL combined who accepts me just the way I am.

Hugs! ❤

CREATIVITY IS THE WAY I SHARE MY SOUL WITH THE WORLD

...quote by Brene Brown.

 

Creativity is very valuable for me. I'm very passionate with her. Due to insecurity and self-doubt, I thought I lost her but I'm more than glad she clung to me all my dark times. Now, we're back and fighting side-by-side. I bring her everywhere. She gives color to my life. Happiness. Delight. Curiosity. Triumph. 

This is my photo contest entry entitled, "Santa It's Cold Outside...Let's Dance" under the theme "Snowed In". I recently started joining ones because I love challenging myself. I want to see where my ideas can go. Have I elevated after the last one? I want to get blown away and discover further my crazy mind. And the one way to do that is...to keep on growing and creating.  

I love you, Creativity! Hugs! ❤

THE SNUGGLE IS REAL!

It's really cold these days. I feel it alot! Even if I'm living where it never...EVER...snows. I wonder what will happen if in case it did? Hmm, there might be a lot of casualties. Unless, they give into a not-so-new craze, the "Cuddle Weather." Anyone want to cuddle with me? I give it for free! Snuggle? Anyone!?

So today I hurriedly put on my new Jolly Holiday Mini Sweater I got from Blueberry. A body-fitting one, it has over 43 patterns and colors to choose from! All mesh sizes can wear it so hurry and grab it now. It is available for a limited time only! I chose to wear it with Truth's newest gifts, Pompom Hat and the Bangs Collection (Double Side Wavy), in Pastel Ombre Pink and Blue.

 

I was freezing and about to scream "free hugs!" when I was stopped in my tracks. Cheek Tiramisu Cafe is one serene sim. Don't Anne, don't. I made up for it by finally wearing my Free Hugs Skinny Jeans from Amazing Creations. Then to keep me from tiptoeing on their cold cafe floor, I quickly grabbed my Coco Flat Ankle Boots. Lastly, I want to thank Stuffed Kitty from Andika who accompanied me on my quest for Hugs. Thank you Kitty! Where will I be without you?  

PS: I decided to combine my Original Style with the Quick Fix. I can do it apparently. Sorry for confusing you. You have a spontaneous and very excited friend over here *points at herself like Blake Shelton in The Voice*



Hugs! ❤
