Things in Bloom

I’m going to keep this blog short, because I need to. I’m sorry everyone. When I feel a bit better, I’ll write a long post.

However since there are so many events featured in this post, I want to go over them very briefly. As you can see a lot of items came from this month’s bloom event. I also visited Collabor88, whore couture, kustom9, shiny shabby, and FaMESHed. Whew, yup I did some major retail therapy. I also bought a ton of items from Tentacio. I keep loving everything they create lately. It’s just flat out beautiful. Ariskea has also made some really great items. Nutmeg is a long time favorite of mine. I can’t rave about them enough. I buy everything they make. I’m not even ashamed. Foxwood, Apple fall, Granola, and HEXtraordinary also made some great pieces that all work really well together. My hair from SINTIKLIA has also become a new favorite. I love their hair. My pants from cynful are extremely elegant, and my top from Bombshell is incredibly sexy. Last but certainly not least is my pose from Cuca Designs, which is featured at whore couture fair. It only has a few more days so you will have to hurry. I have to say that she has made a handful of very sweet poses and they really are incredibly wonderful. All of the items in this picture will be used again. I’m certain of it. Truly, designers.. I’m looking forward to spring. All of your creations have been very beautiful. Thank you for making pretty pretty pretty things for me to buy ♥

Be kind To One Another

Cheers

Avi’s ..both naked as can be, but parts are hidden.

So I really wanted to write this post up earlier, but real life decided to steal me away. Sometimes real life has a way of soaking up your time. I’ve been had real life appointments and responsibilities. But I’m here now, so that’s the important thing. This blog will be a little short, since I am pressed for time.
In the wee hours of the morning, I was going talking about Valentine’s Day and my love for it. One of my favorite and few childhood memories came on this lovely day. When I was a kid, a teacher had a Valentine’s Day party. We put bags on the back of our chairs, people brought in food, and drinks. It was the very first time that anyone said that they had loved me–who wasn’t family. They had blond hair and wore a hearing aid. I was a kid. I remember  learning about it and what it meant to be going deaf. Since my Aunt was losing her hearing, I always wanted to know more. It was a card, a candy heart, and a simple I love you from a childhood classmate. To me…that’s Valentine’s Day and it has been ever since–not the flowers, expensive chocolates, or jewelry that the media would have you believe. It’s just love. And I have celebrated every type of love on that day–family, friends, and pets. I never limit it to a special someone. Love should always be celebrated.
That loving feeling inspired a pop up Pose Fair event. It ends soon though, you’ll have to run to that LM, if you want to get that last minute pose of love for that special someone. These two poses are by Cuca Designs. I have to say they are some really beautiful poses. I have a lot of love for them. Some of my favorite poses are couple poses. I love the ones that show those tender moments.  After the pose fair ends, both of these poses will be available in her mainstore. And I will share that link down below. In my photo with the blond, my lingerie is from Collabor88 by E.D. This month’s round is absolutely amazing with hearts, pink, and red. It really gets the grid in the mood to spread that love around. The bathroom is from Florix and available at equal10.
Before I close this blog, I want to touch on a subject that’s been bugging me. I had someone tell me that not every resident would get my blog, and I’ve let that one comment really bug me. While this is true, not every person will get my long ramblings about life, there will be some people who do. Since, there are people that I know who started to follow me because of my blog. I had that brief moment where I wanted to just scrap everything and hide. But I had to stay true to myself. Life lessons that apply in all worlds, inspirational quotes, and anecdotes about my life. It’s all relevant in my choices for second life. Never underestimate people. It’s something that I’ve learned from the virtual world. Also a very long time ago, I had a mentor tell me that when you write anything, you have to connect to the audience. In my experience, the best way I know how to connect with people is the human experience. It took some friends convincing me to keep going and keep doing what I love to do–which is to take pictures with my heart and match those pictures with words.
What we say can effect people. And even I forget how my words matter–negatively and positively. Sometimes we have to see past the opinions of others and do the things that make us happy–especially in second life. And I tend to be happy creating these blogs. I’ve had a pretty rough go at it, these past few months. One of the things that has made me happy, is the ability to log on and be creative. I get to think about things that make me happy–movies, music, and pictures. It’s those positive things that help me through difficult times. So if I let someone get to me, I let them ruin this, which is sad since it helps me in my real life. I’m writing this because I want to send the message that no matter what others think, never stop doing the activities that bring you joy. I leave you with this as my closing thought.
Be kind to one another,
Cheers,
Violet.

New beginnings

And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been. Rainer Maria Rilke

The holidays were a whirl wind. They had the ability to sneak up on me, when I least expected it. Before you know it, I was ordering presents, sending out baked goods (made by someone else of course), and wrapping gifts to place under my tree. I blinked right into a new year. Christmas day was a complete blur. New Year’s was a very welcomed new Beginning.
I usually do a year in review. But last year was one of those years.. I have no problem forgetting. It seemed like if it could go wrong, then it did. I had a close friend of mine tell me recently that not all years will be great. Some will be awesome. Some will be rough. Some will be frustrating.. Some will be.. well you get the point. The only thing you can do is fight like hell for happy moments and make the most of them.
I am working hard in real life and in second life to just be happy at the moment. Taking pictures is part of that process, so ..I really enjoyed taking this picture. And I hope others can see that. A few years ago, I always went out for New Years. I really wanted to portray that party scene with this picture. I couldn’t do that without the latest events, which leads me into my next topic…
The pose fair opened and this round seems to be even better than the last, and my favorite.. collabor88 also opened. A friend of mine has some really fun poses for sale. The poses in the picture are from Cuca@Design and the backdrop is from Illuzion, which are all available at the pose fair. My outfit is from collabor88 and the male in the picture is wearing an outfit from TMD event. ANDDDDD… GENUS. We HAVE to talk about the genus head. If you were part of the beta head, before it hit the store for sale, you get the baby face bento head FOR FREE! You just have to go to redelivery and it will be in the folder, to unpack. I was super excited to get the head. It isn’t featured in the above photo… but stay tuned. If you like any of the items featured in the above photo, please check out my credits.
Okay before I forget this, I want to make a quick note. Recently.. and bear with me, I watched a Taylor Swift concert on Netflix. Say what you will, about her…but her show was a lot of fun to watch. She talked about having a reputation. And there’s been a lot of discussion about reputations (it’s the name of her stadium tour). A reputation is none of our business. People will say things. Work hard. Ignore it. Your friends will know you. Sometimes you just have to focus on yourself and not worry about what is said about you. Work hard. Be good at what you do. People will love you. People will hate you, but how you feel about yourself is way more important. Her performance was just sort of magical… but I have a thing for dancing and singing. I like a good show. And… can someone please make a gold snake microphone.. kind of love that…  Yeah I had to write this article.. because that microphone was awesome. Also, I think it’s always good to have your own experiences with people, before you judge them–but that’s just me. The picture above was inspired by her concert. Oh and… always take anger and put it into something productive♥♥♥ Okay.. now that my thoughts have exploded on this page….  go shopping and buy those awesome things!!
Just Be YOU!
Holidays can be a really difficult time of the year for people. So I’m urging people to be kind to one another.
Cheers,
Violet XOXO

Quick note.. For the best results with the poses, please make sure to take off all huds and turn off all hand controls through the main and the hand hud . The right hand of the pose is suppose to have straight fingers. I tried multiply times with the Firestorm viewer and the only way to get the fingers to straighten was to take off every hud and turn off hand movements. My apologies to Cuca@Designs. I tried turning them off the hand pose through the maitreya hud and the separate hand hud, but it failed. And I did not realize it until the picture was posted.

Upside down Christmas

 

I like to turn things upside down, to watch pictures and situations from another perspective. Ursus Wehrli

I like to turn things upside down, to watch pictures and situations from another perspective. Ursus Wehrli

As the year comes to a close, many people find themselves looking back in the past. Maybe sometimes, they even see things with new eyes. And I am no exception. I’ve been looking at things differently too.
I’ve been a little obsessed with pictures that can be flipped upside down and viewed as another picture–in another angle. A long time ago, when I was in grade school, I had a teacher put a picture in front of the class and ask… “What do you see in this picture?” Many of us saw a witch, but many people saw another picture, yet both answers were correct. Even this week, I looked at a rock near a pond, but when the picture was flipped upside down, it didn’t look like a rock near a pond. I also googled upside down Christmas trees (who knew this was an actual thing!). This all started my own little project that I’ve been working on for about a week.
Since I was on a kick about upside down pictures, I decided to create my own. Many may see everything falling towards the ceiling, but yet if you flip it right side up…… You may see a girl leaping through the air and about to jump on ….someone, kicking things out of the way–perhaps a loved one being greeted at the door. It’s all about perspective. It’s how we interpret the world around us that truly matters. It’s how we see situations that happen to us. Our view may be entirely different than how others see things. I think that’s an important part of second life–how we view things that happen to us….vs. how others see things. It truly makes a difference. After a year has passed, we have new eyes and a new perspective on the events that passed.
This past year, I’ve had amazing experiences inworld, but I have battled demons in real life. Life is a beautiful thing, because it is always changing. Second life and real life move in cycles. Meaning… demons will be silenced. Amazing experiences come to an end–and then there are only new beginnings. There will be new people and new opportunities.
Despite the hope of the future though, there’s always the shadow of the past to contend with. It can leave bitterness in its wake. Bitterness can be accompanied with fear. It’s like moving to take a step, but putting your foot right back where it was. Fear can stop you literally in your tracks. Bitterness can make you turn away from new people, opportunities, and experiences. I think that’s one of the  hardest things in life, not letting negative emotions rule you. We all have to find ways to overcome the past. There’s no one right or wrong answer. Everything comes in time. The thing about time is that it’s always moving forward… never backwards. And we all will move forward one way or another, so why not silence that fear and bitterness—replace it with hope. We hope for a better tomorrow, because there are bound to be more good moments ahead of us.
So for 2019, we should leave the fear and bitterness behind us, lets drink to hope and love instead. We should move forward to the days ahead of us, because in the end…. time is precious. Lets not waste it on negative emotions, lets party and celebrate all the good things and hopeful new beginnings.
And that girl in the photo falling and yet leaping for a loved one–both are right. Holidays never go as they are “suppose” to. It always leaves us grasping for more into a free fall, yet we’re always grounded by the people… or even furry little animals that love us. Toast to love and hope this New Years. The best part of any story is always love and hope.
Before I end with credit, I need to make a quick mention of some great events. This dress can be found at Collabor88, but you will have to hurry since a new round is soon approaching. My hair and shoes can be found at uber, and my bow choker can be found at the naughty or nice event, check out Eliavah’s mainstore to get the hud. And I have to thank Cuca Designs for this really great backdrop and boxes, they added that special something to my picture of packing up decorations. For further info, please check out my credits.
Happy a safe and very Happy New Year!!
And don’t forget… Be Kind To One Another,
Much Love,
Vi XOXO

Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy. Sai Baba
I once had someone tell me that .. I never have to explain myself. And I think sometimes..especially in second life, I don’t have to. I tried to decide what to put in this latest blog post, and I’ve written it a bunch of times. I finally have decided not to post in detail about my struggles. I am going through things that are difficult and struggling at this time. Thank you for your patience.
However, I will touch base with a few things though, in regards to flickr and tumblr. Some know about the impending changes on tumblr.  Flickr has gone through a few as well. I tried to post a picture a few days ago, but the middle arrow was gray to me. I don’t post restrictive photos often, but I air on the side of caution in regards to lingerie or anything sexual in nature. Since, I don’t post restrictive content often… it could have been like this for the longest time and I just didn’t know that you can’t link the picture directly to a blog post.
I love blogging and I would hate worrying about my flickr page, so I’m careful. The US imposed a bill making companies responsible for the content on their websites. Meaning, if sex trafficking were to be found on their website, the government would hold the website responsible. So websites have now been responding with strict rules or new rules all together in regards to content.
As much as I enjoy taking scandalous photos from time to time, I will be careful from now on in regards to my blog. Since I do air on the side of caution and I have worked hard on my blog for quite some time, I will try to make everything as pg as possible on my page. Hopefully that law will be looked at again and changed, since I think this punishes users and not the criminals that they’re seeking. I will link an article speaking about the law. This is the reason for why so many sites are changing their rules. I’ve seen a lot of second life residents react to the rules (such as tumblr), but not question why it’s happening. This is the reason that it’s happening.. unfortunately.
The reason I will air on the side of caution is because once censorship begins… one has to wonder where it will stop and one has to wonder how it will effect them. Meaning, I do not want my flickr shut down due to sharing my inworld pictures on my blog (even though I highly doubt that will happen). Again, I am just being careful. Better safe than sorry.
And I will touch base on one final thing, before getting to my credits. I am struggling in my real life. I have bad days. I have good days. Little things can seem bigger than they really are, because of those bad days. So if things upset me, I will tend to back off. I’m not doing it to upset anyone. I am doing it for my own mental health. I’m going through enough in real life and sometimes stepping away from an upsetting situation, until I’m in the mental space to handle it is mandatory. I would hate to say or do something that I regret. Again, thank you for your patience at this time.
Be Kind To One Another
Cheers,
Violet XOXO

Normally, I don’t post a picture and credits first, BUT I have been a very busy girl in all world. As you can see above, I’ve been busy shopping and decorating (in both worlds!). I debated making this two separate posts. But I took the first picture and then received a few things from one of my sponsors and I wanted to make it a series. And so here we are.

There are a TON of great shopping right now. I’ve been to Kustom9, Tannenbaum, The Arcade, Uber, The epiphany, and black friday shopping.. whew so much shopping. And I did some real life shopping too….my poor wallet. But as you can see, I’ve been super busy planning this photo. This holiday season, you will see warm and cozy posts, featuring some great pieces by creators. They have surely been working super hard and it shows.

I’ve had some worried friends online and I want to assure everyone… I really am okay. I’ve been really busy in both worlds. Managing the holidays and physical therapy is definitely challenging. And I’ve had a few tough days thrown into the mix. Things will calm down soon. I’m sure of it. But I am working hard to create pictures that  I can be proud of.. and I hope that you like them too.

I have included all of my credits, below the photos. I thought this may be a bit easier to navigate due to the amount of items in each picture. My theme for this month with Peace, love, and joy. I encourage all residents to put issues aside, come together, and be friendly. Peace on Earth …good will toward one another is the true essence of the holidays. Lets love one another enough to care about each other. We can not live without the help of each other…and humanity can be a beautiful gorgeous part of life, when we seek the positive out of life. I hope you fill your heart with love and share that love with others this wonderful holiday season

Much love, Violet XOXO

Be Kind To One Another.. and lets try taking care of each other this holiday season ♥

 

Wheel of Fortune

 

 

“No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.”

So I’ve been feeling a little lost lately. It’s easy to feel like that, when so many things change all at once. It led me to the Wheel of Fortune card in the tarot deck. Feeling lost leads to finding yourself sometimes. So it’s whatever is in your cards in the future. Fate plays a hand in your wheel of fortune. Which leads me to my next topic…. getting caught up with my blog… It was all fate…

Playing catch up with blogging and trying to heal isn’t always the easiest. And I know eventually, I will be all caught up. But for now, I have to apologize for this post being a little late. I am very sorry. BUT … we must continue on and discuss shopping.

This month’s round of Uber is INSANE. I bought a lot of things from uber. My dress, shoes, and coat rack are all available at this event. Vinyl created this wonderful whimsical dress. Eudora3D made my wonderful shoes. Finally, dust bunny created this fantastic coat rack. I am really smitten with these items. I think many others will be too. When I put them all together, I could feel the crisp air floating around me. I knew fall was literally at my door step.

BUT, I didn’t just feel the love of fall at Uber. I also felt it at Hair Fair. Eliavah created this wonderful ponytail with tendrils hanging down on one side of the head. This hair does include versions with the tendrils down the left or right side. This hair makes me want to grab a hot chocolate and sit wrapped in a blanket on the porch. Finally, the pumpkin sign and barrels came from brocante. It was available for 50L. Unfortunately, it is available, but at full price.

When I created this picture, I had every intention of blogging it on Friday, but my health prevented me from blogging this photo. Again, I am sorry this photo is a little late. I will say that all the fall creations have me excited for the seasons changing. I hope you get in the spirit of fall and visit Hair Fair–and Uber. Okay my lovely followers, I must end this blog a little short. I am extremely tired, but thank you for taking a minute to read my blog. If you like any of these items, please check out my credits down below.

As always, be kind to one another.

 

Cheers,

Violet xoxo

p.s. I know that my pictures are a bit smaller. I’m working on the issue. For some reason, they are uploading smaller than I took them.
