It’s a Wash. (Cheapies, bargains, freebies(?)).

The “The Wash” event is open which means a lot of cheap treats, clothing and decor.  I’ve only done one small bit of this event and already picked up a freebie, not shown, and 2 outfits both of which come with matching shoes.

This outfit is only 10Lds for both the dress and shoes.  Both the shoes and the dress have some quality detailing on them, the zip down the back of the dress is particularly good.

The only reason I’m not showing you the other outfit, which cost 20Lds, is that I hadn’t spotted that it’s SLink fit was the Hourglass one and I couldn’t be bothered to change bodies.

I’m hoping the LM will take you to the stall I got this outfit from as I’ve forgotten its name…sorry.

A little bit of this and a little bit of that.(Hunt/Cheapies/Freebies/Photo Sim/Reminder)

If you’ve not gotten to the Access Event and were maybe thinking of not bothering then BOTHER! Go now as I do believe today is the last day and I had a most pleasant time yesterday unpacking all of the excellent gifts which have been set out for us.  It was also nice to see a decent amount of gifts for men as well.

Which is how I ended up at a sim called Durandal.

I thought I was going to land at one of the shops which have a gift out for us at the Access event and instead ended up on this stunning sim.  Going by memory there are two sims and both are rentals. The number of rentals is very limited, I think it’s only four on each sim, and as you can imagine these are high-end rentals.  So it’s really nice that the sims are open to everyone to use, with the obvious rules of stay out of the rented homes.

I’m only showing you this one picture as the whole sim is very similar to this setting but there is so much going on, lots of hangout spots, a large super cafe at the top of the mountain, pools and waterfalls etc. There is even a hang gliding and swim pose set up which is a bit of a blast from the past as I’ve not seen a swim pose ball in YEARS..so yes I did hop on it and had a chuckle.

So a fab place to take “idiot-proof” photos as well as a relaxing place to loiter in.

Now for the hunt which has prizes/gifts from as little as 0Lds to 25lds. Sorry in this picture the only freebie is the ice cream.

This is the “Ice Cream Cafe Hunt”. Those bowls of ice cream are the hunt items.  This hunt is in a small pretty little area and those bowls of ice cream are everywhere so even someone as useless as me can find them.

You do need to look at the Blog for this hunt as that is where you can see the prizes you’re looking for.  So I’ve added the link for that and you can get the LM from there as well.

Drinkies! (Freebies).

The event I mention in my last post is called the “Beauty Sales” event and once in the group, you stand a chance of winning a massive gift card but only if you stay in the group and you’re very VERY lucky.

You can still walk away with this free outfit as it’s an LSR design but is the gift for this event.  It does come with shoes which totally match the outfit but I didn’t want to zooooooom out that much lol.

I didn’t see any other freebies at this event but I did see a lot of discounted items from big named shops so I treated myself to a couple of the backdrops from the Unicorn stall which for 150Ld each I thought were worth it, (I got the boxing ring backdrop as well).

The bottles I’m wearing are also freebies which I picked up from the Crystal shop, they have a stall at this event which is how I ended up checking out their main shop.  Lots of poses with wearable drinks, very handy but I should drop Faith a warning for her to avoid this shop as I also checked out their sale items and this particular pose shop seems to specialise in wearables such as shopping bags, food, fun things etc and she loves her wearables.

PS.  I suspect the LM takes you to the middle of this shopping sim which is nice and open so you the Beyond shop and the other shop I mentioned and to find the “Beauty Sales” event just turn around a bit.

It’s time to “Shop & Hop”. (Mention of Oodles of Freebies ‘n’ Bargains).

If you tried to do the Winter Shop & Hop Event but the lag caused by the sheer busyness of the crowds made you give up I’m happy to tell you that it’s time to go back.  It’s so much quieter now you should find it much easier to get around and grab all of the amazingly generous gifts.  I’ve hardly had the chance to unpack them but even from picking them up I can see there is such an excellent mix of gifts that there is something for everyone.

The only downside is it’s over…tomorrow…or today depending on which day in SL the 6th lands on.  I do know from past events unless they block access to the sim we do have a bit of leeway as it takes sellers time to log in and pick their items up but I’d not delay and go now.

Also, remember to grab some of the bargains at the same time.  I know I picked up at least 3 fab items as such low prices it made my Cheap B* heart sing.

Shop & Hop

It’s the final countdown. (43+Freebies and Offers).

Today is officially my last feasting day and yes I had Ben and Jerries (a whole f**king tub of it) for breakfast and that was just the starter.  I’ve got my fruit ‘n’ veg at the ready and when I’ve snarfed my last slice of chocolate cake I’m DONE!

Not that it’s going to be such a hardship as I LOVE fruit ‘n’ veg!

I also love bloody good freebies ‘n’ bargains.

The top was the first freebie I unpacked, so I’m only guessing that the rest of the freebies are going to be good but considering I ended up snagging 43 freebies I’m going to guess there are going to be some keepers in that lot.

Not that there weren’t any temptations, I picked up a few 35Ld offers which I’ve tucked away for next Christmas.

This “Holiday Seasons 35L Sales Event” goes on till the 5th so enough time left to check it out.

Day 22 !g0 Advent Gift (and mention of freebies).

Another pom pom sweater/jumper from !g0 and I ain’t complaining.

I have a picture where I’m not looking so dopey but dopey is how I feel.

I finally finished the Winter Hop & Shop event and OMAHI! The gifts, the generosity has been outstanding not only for the freebies but again remember every stall/shop at this event has a big discount going on and I’ve indulged not only in the dress I showed you but also some new hairs which brings me to Mina’s.

I didn’t realise that she too has a stall at this event and that means a FREE hair, nope not the one I’m wearing in this picture because oops I binned it lol.  Because of the recent generosity of gifts I’ve been trashing everything as fast as I’ve been unpacking it and then trashing the trash and somehow I ended up binning the FREE Mina!  I’m done with this event, I finally managed to work my way through the last shopping mall and I just don’t want to return and pick up a second copy so I will leave it up to you to pick it up.  ]

This post is more of a reminder that not only are there all of those gifts BUT each stall/shop has big and small discounts going on and you saw the dress I treated myself to and soon you will see the new hair I bought for myself BUT one of my all-time Fav Mina’s hair, Leslie, is discounted to 150Ld.  Leslie is the stunning, classy, updo covered in pearls! A hud is included for you to change it around.  So if you’ve not been or you missed it then check out the Mina shop at this event.  Sorry I can’t give you the direct LM but I’m 99% sure it was in the last 2 malls I visited so I’ve put the link to each of them.

Never Fails. (Cheapies, Hunt & Freebies).

I went to the “The Artists Shed” and the “Snow Day Cart Sale & Hunt Event” event and all I got one this one lousy picture.

I lie because I actually scored a heck of a lot both from the hunts going on inside the The Artists Shed and the Candy Canes are so easy to find and to top that all off the carts have a lot of offers and freebies so I have quite a haul to work through.

The Candy Canes are hidden around the sim do cost but only 2Lds and you can click on the cane and check to see if the contents are something you’d like but at only 2Lds it’s not a lot of money to lose if you don’t like your prize.

BTW Make sure to check out the back of the The Artists Shed shop as there is a room back there with some Christmas Deccies, I love the simple plain Christmas tree in a tub they remind me of my childhood and if you like a quirky giggle then check out the pile of snowballs.

PS.  There is also 3 separate hunts going on in the Artist shop as well.
