This itty bitty little thing has cost me a fortune! (FREEBIES).

Woah I’ve just got back from the Redeux event which is celebrating it’s their second anniversary which means GIFTS for ALL….actually this event is one of the more generous gift giving events there is and this adorable soap set is one of the freebies.

I’ll let you into a RL secret, I used to be a soap maker and although I love what I do now I am missing the creativeness of soaping and this little set and those sticks of soap OMG! I swear part of me is staring at this picture and thinking “yes you can” the other part is remembering I now have sensitivity from working with EOs (Essential oils) and my sense of smell was being damaged by all the fragrance sniffing.

Anyhow, I’m using this simple gift just to let you know that there is not only a SH*T load of gifts but so many discounts and offers and of course the Gacha’s in the middle of this event and I’ve spent all my money! Now I have an internal debate as to whether I remain poor for the rest of the month or buy more Lds!

This event is over on the 21st.  Grab everything then plonk yourself somewhere where you won’t be bothered and slowly but surely unpack all the goodies, bin the ones you won’t use and stash away the keepers and I promise you by the end of it you will be totally chilled.  I am heading to my platform and doing just that and if I come across something which has as much wow factor, for me, as this soap set I might just tack it on to this post.

PS.  The soap is a gift from the “Insurrection” stall and you “wear” the unpacker and listen to what it says.

UPDATE. Oooo not disappointed at all, I’m having to log off SL and I’ve only unpacked about 8 boxes and found a fab top, a very interesting dress, bento lipstick ao, a rabbit outfit, cushions, jewellery inc facial one, some quality shelves and a pair of glasses which are as wearable as the pair I’ve just blogged.  I’m looking forward to when I have more free time to finish unpacking the rest.

Finally.(Freebies).

I only did a freebie post about this shop, Revalations, just a week or so ago but the new freebie combined with the old freebie make for a great freebie look.

The top is the old, but a really quite new, gift from the previous post and the cut-off jeans are the new gifts both come in plenty of fits AND colour huds and all you need to do is join the group and pay 1Ld which of course is returned to you.

That’s it, I’m done for the day both in RL and SL.

OH can make his own dinner, there is plenty in, I’ve whipped the bra off and once the bra is off and I’ve had a good scratch my work is done!

Revelations 

It’s still Christmas. (15Ld Hunt & New Mina&Mention of Freebie).

I love the windlight setting on the Mina sim, it’s so freaking flattering.  I’m always tempted to drop her a note and ask for the details but she is one busy lady and I hate to bother her.

I’m still wearing jeans and glasses from my last post but the top I was wearing came from Ricielli and since it’s Spring/Easter time I popped over hoping that Ricielli has another one of their excellent hunts on and they do but it’s still the Christmas gifts.

My disappointment at nothing new was sweetened by the 2 prizes I bought.  As this is a paid for hunt there is a big poster with pictures of what’s in each box and more importantly, the sizes as not all the clothing comes in all the main mesh fits.  The clothes are shop quality.  I will say I was surprised as this top is supposed to be a mint colour and I don’t know if the sim lighting has changed it, doubtful, but it’s not mint.  NO complaints as I love this colour and down the back it has a flattened hoodie.

The second picture shows the other “prize” I treated myself to and this one deffo comes in the 2 colours the picture shows, this brown and a lovely dark green.

If you don’t know Ricielli then you won’t know that all of the old hunt gifts are stashed away in one of the buildings.  Still at the 15Lds prices but such a variety of casual wear, club wear, shoes, skirts etc.  To get there head out of the main shop and you will see a signpost, just click on the one for the emmm I think it said shoes/sale/discount etc something like that.

More hats now.

As you can see from these two pictures the hat/hair is very similar.  Hazel is the bottom picture and Fleur is the top.  Fleur is the newest hair although Hazel was only brought out a couple of weeks ago.

I will admit I much prefer Hazel, there is a ponytail down the back which you can even change the length of using the “style hud” but it’s the tendrils that frame your face I like the best and they too can be changed by using the hud.

Fleur, top picture, is so new you can only buy her from the Kustom9 event and again comes with a styling hud which is this case allows you to change the way the hair hangs down ie over one shouldn’t left or right or just simply hanging down the back.

PS.  I almost forgot there is a FREEBIE in the Ricielli shop, the LM takes you right next to it.  This is a stunning freebie but I know I’ve blogged it at least twice so I don’t really want to do it again.

Mina’s Main Shop

Staying in.(Dollarbie & Cheapie).

First TP of the day=first crash of the day so I decided to remain logged out and checked out the SL Marketplace to save myself some grief and I found some things but it was these excellent basic jeans and the glasses which got me logging back inworld.

I won’t say these jeans haven’t been blogged before, but I can’t find them in my invent, if I have then sorry….not sorry because there is nothing basic about these basic jeans and such a handy addition to any invent.  If you think you already have this style still pick them up as you may find these Dollarbies/Promo from Shiva shop have a more up to date texture.

I was so impressed with these I braved a TP to go to the Shiva inworld shop and these are also there, on the wall with the other colours but these “tan” ones are clearly marked as “Promo”.  I also spotted in the back of the shop Freebies inc a very pretty pastel Summery dress which I was actually going to grab from the Marketplace but I couldn’t be bothered…keeping it real here lol.

(((EXTREME CLOSE UP!)))

Am I the only person who was sooo happy when I was diagnosed as being as blind as a bat?. OK, I’m not that bad but in RL I rock glasses and in fact, the ones I wear are almost as identical to these but I only have the 1 pair while this 10Ld version off the Marketplace comes with a hud of colours and all of them are good.  I didn’t bother to check out the Rebellion inworld shop as I’d already pushed my luck in TPing to the one shop but will try it later.

Today I’m going to Pinterest, plant seeds and SL like a pro because I’m sick of dealing with dumb people…and it’s not even lunchtime!

PS.  Those glasses are, obviously, pretty unisexed and you do get a resizer in the hud so go get em boys, and by that I mean Moz lol.

It turns out the struggle is real! (Freebie(S)& Sim Status Update).

I know I promised you close up pictures of the !g0 hat I’ve been going on about but can I get a decent shot of that hair/hat from !g0 in my last post so I did the “The Good Egg Hunt” instead.

OH Boy, it looks as though this hunt was worth the TPing, crashing, TPing, Crashing, TPing and DAMNIT more crashing so I was just about to throw the towel in and do a complete clean reinstall of the updated Firestorm when a “Status update” went out.  Turns out SL/Firestorm isn’t just picking on me but a lot of people are having the same issue and it’s not just Firestorm it’s all the servers.  So DON’T PANIC as the Nerds have been alerted and are working on the probs right now.

This top and skirt are the first freebies I opened and I opened these first because I knew they were clothes and I knew that each of the hidden eggs contains part of this outfit.  So although you can’t see it I am wearing matching shoes and there is a wearable bag but I wanted to concentrate on just the skirt and top which is really nice with lots of fits a bright and bold colour/texture and comes as separates.

To do this hunt you click the sign and get sent a wearable basket, I don’t think you need to actually wear it though, and a Hud which will TPs you to all of the shops involved and there are oodles of eggs to collect.  Most shops seem to have 3-4 eggs out as standard, in some shops, I picked up their shop freebies as well etc and so as you can imagine I have a whole folder to sit quietly and work my way through.

I’ve just spotted that I’ve missed out two shops on the list, Entice which is the starting LM and %percent which is a shop I’ve got a few unique things from so I’m going to brave the TP just to check those out when I log back in.

The Good Egg Hunt

Don’t kill people, kill time.(Freebie(s)Dollarbies, Cheapies).

This is the LAST DAY for the Hipster Fair and I wish I’d visited sooner as most shops seem to have a freebie, dollarbie or a real cheapie on offer.

I’d seen these free, maybe dollarbies, boots in a notice and as soon as I found the FurtaCo shop, BAMB they were in my invent.  Lots of fits and an excellent colour hud, DAMNIT MORE KEEPERS!

As mentioned this is the events last day so I’m doing this quick post because I’m heading right back in to grab as much as I can before they kick my AV ass off.

PS.  As for the background, I was mooching SL yesterday and came across this sim which is a piece of Ireland in SL.  It’s perfect so I LMed it to use not only as a backdrop but also to pinch ideas from.  So if you do want to see a piece of not just Ireland but this has a very Scottish and Yorkshire feel to it.

The Hipster Fair I think this does take you to the FurtaCo shop.

Killary (Stunning sim)

If I won the lottery. (Freebies and more Freebies).

If I won the lottery the first 2 things I’d do is employ a cleaner and buy myself a kick-ass pool.

Yes, it’s another simple sporty outfit, not the flippers as I’d already had them.  I’m a sporty clothes hoarder and yet I can’t see this one in my invent and because it does come in my SLink fits I’m pretty sure I would have kept it.  Don’t worry lots of other sizes but just the 1 colour but nothing wrong with classic black.  Thinking about it I think all of the gifts at BouBouki are black.

Again a recognisable style which you may or may not have seen before.  It looks like real leather in SL and if I turned around there is a cheeky flash of cheek.

I think there were 4 gifts in total, join the BouBouki group for free and “buy” the gifts for a Linden and you get your Linden sent back to you.

GACHALAND!

I’m drowning in freebies from this event.  As always lots of tempting Gachas and most of them have a gift box out for us.  I managed to open 2 boxes before RL demanded attention and when I finally managed to log back in this morning I have so much that I need to unpack, sort out, bin, save and if possible donate.  So I’m not showing you any of the gifts from this event but I’m going to click “publish” and then chill in SL cleaning up my invent.

UPDATE.  I was wrong as one of the Boubouki gifts isn’t black it is in fact a brill gold corset and bra set which I DO remember and it’s worth popping over for that even though I’m not showing it to you.
