Keeper of my Heart

Sometimes I just have to take a moment and remember that without His love and support that I wouldn't be able to do all that I am able to do within Second Life. From the first moments of my blog conception Cedric was behind me, cheering me on, encouraging me. Standing beside me sometimes with me (like in this moment.) Sometimes He'll blog with me, but usually He's behind the camera helping me with shots when I get stuck. Tonight He just stood there and moved from pose ball to pose ball but He did it with charm and flair.

I ran over to PurpleMoon today and snagged up the group gift. Sadly, the group gift isn't free, but the join cost is way worth the gifts each month. Standing beside it was a display from Lazuri jewelry with "suggest jewelry" for this outfit. Now I was going to wait and use my gift card, but this dress stuck in my head all evening long when I went to class and I knew without a doubt that the 349L price tag on the beautiful necklace, earrings and bracelet was worth it so I splurged. Jewelry is something I don't often wear, not because I don't love it, but it's not something I think about right off the bat. I know! *Gasps* says all those women reading my blog. I promise to try and get better about the accessories!

So I dug out my couple poses and asked Cedric to pose with me. The first pose is by !bang called Keeper which really helped inspire my blog title, plus well Cedric is the Keeper of my heart. Okay I promise cheesy moment over. :)




I love how this dress fits, it also has gloves for slink, but I'm not a huge glove fan and I probably should have taken off the sleeves but I liked how it looked so I left them on, to me it looks like a shrug :) The jewelry again is by Lazuri except our wedding bands which are by Lapointe and Bastchilde. Love it!





This next pose is called "This Way" by CnS e-motion I picked this up at Pose Fair for 180L I loved it because usually when we're out shopping it's more like me dragging him along. So here's another look at the dress and a pretty awesome pose. This was a new pose creator for me.




The last pose I am featuring tonight is by .Infinity poses. It's called Protected. One of the things I do love about Cedric is that no matter what is going on he's always there protecting me, making sure I'm taking care of me even when I'm not. He's got my back, always.

Fantasy Faire 2014





I am so excited. Just a few days left until Fantasy Faire 2014 opens up. Two of our favorite creators will be there. They own Solarium. I can't wait to see what they've come up with. I hear bits and pieces as Cedric is good friends with  Encaitaron Korobase who is one of the co owners of Solarium. Nothing major just little whispers and Cedric is very excited to go and see the final projects that our friends have spent months working on. Encait has been working on quests and Rynn Verwood has been working builds and other things. I don't get to hear those whispers. :) I'm so excited to support these two awesome creators. We tend to head there first and ooh and ahh over everything then try to figure out which build she's built.

Fantasy Faire is a Relay for Life Event. RFL is something I hold very dear to my heart as I lost my father almost 6 years ago to Cancer. If it weren't for RFL and cancer research my dad probably wouldn't have lived as long as he did. His battle near the end was ugly but can anything with Cancer be pretty? The things I am thankful for is that I was there with him in those last months. I quit everything to be at home to help the family. Thankfully I had a job that hugged me and pushed me out the door telling me to take all the time I needed. I was with him for appointments, I was with him to hear the stories. And he had his family gathered with him at home taking his last breaths. So I am glad that I can support RFL in some small way. I'm not sure yet what we'll blog but you will be sure that there will be LOTS of things blogged over this small period of time.


Join us May 1st - May 11th for what I think is one of the best SL events ever.

Taking a Chance

Awhile back I applied to be a blogger for ploom. One of my all time favorite places to go get hair and poses. I was thrilled to find out today that I had been accepted to be a new blogger for her. I've been trying really hard not to take on new work but I couldn't resist applying so I'm so very happy I was accepted.


The hair I am wearing is called "Chance" comes with a hud so you can change your look with just a touch. I am loving the pastels and candy but since I normally wear black hair, I decided to use the black color too.



Now for the adorable outfits I am wearing... I bet you were wondering! So I'm going to tell you.

These two pieces are EXCLUSIVE and can be found at MC Fashion Store and Event. They're by Lushish Catz. The top one is called Mala, the silver one is called Jhene. Both sold for 100L. Sexy little teddy's stockings for slink, they also come with tango and phat azz appliers too! This was a new event one I'd never heard of so I had to go check it out. Lots of wonderful goodies for very low prices.

The link provided takes you directly into the Lushish Catz store in the event.

RVi Design: Medieval Living

*•.♥.•* New Releases  ♥•*




If you haven't figured out, Cedric and I like to role play. He has more characters then I do, but we tend to stick to the medieval roots of roleplaying. When I saw that RVi Design had created these medieval houses I had to snag them up. I love to create scenarios with what I buy, and what I blog. There are times that Cedric or I will see something and we'll build elaborate scenes all the way around an item for any one of our given role plays. From our previous post of the gardens, they would fit in SO nicely with the two houses that I'm going to show you in this blog post.

Every Pixel is Art!

All the proof you need of the above statement is in the visage that is my face....Really though, amazing creator of some of my favorite things. Suits, buildings, a few uniforms, and even a gas mask here and there. All in all,if I were to die and come back to life as a store there's about an eighty percent chance that this would be the store I would become.


This is the American formal officer outfit in black. A very well made mesh outfit, comes with everything except the shoes. I could see myself wearing this everywhere from the chaos of a raging battle, to a formal dining room. This is my first expedition into the world of EPIA and I must say I am thoroughly impressed.

This one was an accidental shot but I loved it so much I wanted to use it. :) I love how it's so soft and has that "I'm dreaming of Him, I wish He'd join me."

RVi Design: "Lets have a drink! It's on me!"

One of the greatest adventures I've been on in my life was a trip to Ireland. I remember the first time I sat in a pub and ordered a Guinness I thought "Oh yummy" it tasted just like it does in the states! But it was yummy. And the bartender was very amusing. I sipped my bear and then when I finished I joked that I wanted to steal the mug because it had an Irish beer in it. He of course laughed at me, leaned across the bar and said "Lass, Lass Lass... ye do not need to steal it!" Then proceeded to hand me 2 clean mugs with a smile and said 'Take these, these be clean!" I giggled and smiled and tucked them away. My friend who was with me just laughed with me. The bartender was like 'You american's" I hope it was a kind thought *giggles*.. but anyways... I loved the beer taps that Roshy made so I happily asked for one and it gives beer! And you hold it.. So have a Guinness on me!

RVi Design: New Releases ~The Gates~

I was so excited to see these when Roshy was on our sim taking pictures. So of course when she asked me what I wanted to blog I jumped at the chance and picked these three. Then I was like "oh! where in the heck am I going to take pictures" because she kind of used the spot I probably would have chosen.. lol! So I pulled them out of my inventory and sat them right in the center of our sim while I debated different spots. Nothing came to me. Then last night I was tooling around the sim looking because I knew I really needed to get these new releases out to the readers and so Roshy wouldn't hunt me down and put me in her new tomb! So I hope you like what I finally came up with. I could build a whole area around these wonderful MESH! Gates.

Some new exciting things that Roshy is doing is that she's making some of her best sellers into MESH products. And they're modifiable too. On the gates with the Dragon torches, my husband darkened them abit because he just likes darker stone. I made him leave the others alone. ALSO something that's exciting is for a limited time if you're a member of the group you get 50% off all these wonderful items. The gift joiner is on the 2nd floor I believe unless Roshy has moved it. ~chuckles~ It does happen!!!

Apple of my Eye Hunt (We Love to Blog blogger preview)


The Apple of my Eye Hunt April 1-13 only 13 days for this really cute hunt. There aren't very many items, so it shouldn't take you very long. I did the run through because I wanted to check out the store that gave us the very cute chairs and pictures that I used for my blog tonight.

Apple of my Eye Hunt Blog




I spent about 30 mins walking around this sim and I could only find one hunt item, so I inspected the furniture and you can find the creator Cherelle Capra here: [CIRCA] Living. When you find the apple holding this goody you get BOTH chairs, and the 3 apple pictures hanging on the wall. To cute. The hunt is free.

Take a deep breath (new by 2Chez)

There are times that you just gotta let life overwhelm you, suck you in then you realize... Just take a deep breath. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

My looks tonight are from the wonderful Gisele of 2 Chez's designs. I love her clothes, I love how they fit.. I just LOVE being able to blog for her. I'm not always quick getting out new releases and she is so patient with me. Then I blog and blog and blog so you get LOTS of goodies all at one time.

Tonight I wound up on a random sim because I was looking for something and wound up doing an Easter Egg Hunt. (A HUNT YES! and a FREE HUNT at that!) I donated to the sim because it was lovely.


Forest of Mystic Moon Easter Egg Hunt 4/1-4/21   

When you arrive for the hunt, touch the Easter Basket for more details! Though this hunt is free, please think about donating to the sim owners. They've done an amazing job to make a magical beautiful place to chill and relax with friends.

So after I donated and collected my eggs, I thanked the sim owner. Truly the sim is beautiful, the prizes well hidden but not hidden enough that someone new couldn't have found them. They look like amazing prizes to be honest. I haven't opened them up yet, but I am excited just by the content folders.

*•.♥.•*  2 Chez Masha  ♥•*
149 L


I am a jeans and shirt kind of gal.. Shocking I know! But I am.. so I loved this look. Tunic, Jeans, and boots. BOOTS! yes more shoes! Gisele always tries to give a total look and for 149L you can't beat it!


Also not shown:


*•.♥.•*  2 Chez ~Smile~  ♥•*

This outfit will make you... SMILE! Yes it's called smile, but the back has an opening in it, it's sexy, soft, beautiful. I loe that it comes with a skirt AND boots. It made me want to go buy hair! So I went shopping! I totally just love the softness of this outfit how it makes you feel sexy, beautiful, and feminine all at the same time


*•.♥.•*  2 Chez Dagmar  ♥•*
139 L


I feel like a rocker girl in this outfit. I actually bought hair for this as well. I just needed *something* that wasn't going to take away from this sexy little number, but also completed the look.
