I Am What I Am

I Am What I Am

  There's been on much chatter this week on social media about the relationship between bloggers and designers and also the requirements for blogging for each store. I've kept reasonably quiet on most of the posts, not because I don't agree or I do but because there will always be someone who does or doesn't [...]

Do Blondes Have Their Fun But Brunettes Do it Better?

Do Blondes Have Their Fun But Brunettes Do it Better?

I may swap my hair style several times a day but I do tend to stick with a hair colour in SL for years, even if i do swap it out now and again for a particular look in photos etc I always go back to the same colour. I had a very long Brunette [...]

The Pumpkin Patch is back

The Pumpkin Patch is back

I sometimes think the song 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' should really be about Autumn rather than Christmas. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy Christmas AT Christmas I just hate all the build up to it and the stress. Once the day is here I enjoy it, even if it's a [...]

Friends That Inspire Me

Friends That Inspire Me

The ways that we are inspired by others can be in such small, but nevertheless meaningful ways or in life-changing ways. The hair I'm wearing today I saw on several blogs and was inspired to go and buy it. A small thing in the big picture of life but those bloggers and the designer made [...]

There But for the Grace of God Go I

There But for the Grace of God Go I

It's a sad fact that there is probably not one single person reading this that hasn't been affected in some way by cancer. Be it  ourselves, a friend, family member or partner all of us will have been touched by cancer at some point in our lives. If you haven't been then you are a [...]

Chase the Fallen Leaves

Chase the Fallen Leaves

I haven't met anyone, in real life, or in SL that doesn't love Autumn. As some of you know I DJ on Fridays at Blithe and Harlow, the owner of the sim has been hard at work giving the sim a more autumnal feel. Who doesn't like to feel warm and cozy? Autumn, the year's [...]

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

Henry Ford's phrase "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." has been at the top of my mind this morning as I watch the overnight news from the Rio Paralympics. Dame Sarah Storey becomes the first female British paralympian to win 12 gold medals as [...]

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

I admit to being a bit of an 'ostrich' and burying my head in the sand especially when it comes to real life issues but it can also be true when dealing with uncomfortable situations in Second Life too.  I can be prone to procrastination on real life tasks etc mainly because there is much [...]

A Camera Is a Save Button for the Mind’s Eye

A Camera Is a Save Button for the Mind’s Eye

Photography in Second Life is a huge pastime and enjoyment for many and indeed a SL career for many others. We all associate so closely with our avatars and invest so much into the appearance and looks of our avatar that it's not surprise that the profile picture is amongst the most common that you [...]

Build Me Up Buttercup

Build Me Up Buttercup

When I first started blogging I had a lot of support from my friends some of whom were bloggers themselves and I was inspired by so many of the blogs out there already. I enjoy all sorts of different blogs. Some like mine that have text and pictures, some that are picture based, some that [...]
