Happy New Year!!

Well, it's been pretty much a year since I 'started' this blog, however I have rarely updated it, due to being way too busy with RL and other commitments. Anyway, I figured I'd start this year anew, who knows maybe I'll have more time to update here? And, to start off with, what better way than by tackling Berry's New Year Meme with a pretty picture? The outfit is pretty much what I recently blogged on free*style here, but with different hair, eyes, nails and I wanted to show off this cute reindeer plushie by silent sparrow too

1. How did you spend New Year’s Eve? I spent it at a houseparty with a handful of my closest friends :),
2. Did you keep any new years’ resolutions? I am terrible at keeping New Year's resolutions, hence why I tend not to bother making any anymore. However, this year, I've made myself a few small vows, that I'm going to try to keep! Fingers crossed!
3. What was your biggest achievement(s) of the year? I actually can't think of any??? Another reason why I need to grasp this year by the horns and do something!
4. What was the best thing you bought? The best thing I bought, was probably my new-old car! Actually, after the exhaust fell off my old car, I kinda needed to get a new car. And I'm loving it!
5. What do you wish you’d done more of? I wish I had done more fun things with the kids, so I guess I'm gonna try and do more of that this year too!
6. What do you wish you’d done less of? hmmm, this is hard, but I guess I wish I'd spent less time worrying things over and getting stressed over silly little things...
7. What was your favorite movie you watched this year? wow my favourite movie I watched this year..? Thats a hard one, I love watching movies, but it would probably be Star Trek: Into Darkness... I was sooo looking forward to that, and was NOT disappointed :)
8. What did you do on your birthday this year? I just had a night out with some of my friends, we had a great time!
9. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned. This year has been a bad year for me generally in RL. I'm unhappy in my job- it takes me away from my children too much, and I'm unhappy in my RL home- its too small and too messy!! Which leads onto the last... I'm unhappy in my marriage. My friends keep telling me that 'you only live once', so I guess that is it, and the prominent thought in my head for this year. Time to make changes that will make me happy!
10. What does 2014 hold for you? No idea but I am hoping to make some chnges in my life that will make me happy!!

Those Irish eyes....

This past weekend was St Patrick's Day, and like any other holiday the wonderful generous desingers of SL offered lots of appropriately-themed gifts in abundance. Here's some of my fave St Patrick's Day gifts, and another gorgeous skin currently debuting at the Skin Fair. This time, the skin is by Modish (thank you Ele Brandi!!).

This adorable skin is called 'Seane' and comes in 6 different tones, with dark, light and no eyebrow options for L$650. I have slightly changed the look of this skin by adding the green eye-shadow from A&A, but that is all.

Hair: ploom ~ Shira,
Eyes: SP Eyes ~  Silenced ~ Green (L$1 here),

Halloween gifties!!!

Autumn is my absolute favourite season I think. I love all the beautiful colours surrounding us in nature at this time of year. And I love just how these colours are reflected into SL too. Here is the beautiful October group gift skin from Aeva/Heartsick "Autumn Kiss". Such an eloquent name for such a pretty skin. I love its soft features, and how the colours of autumn are complemented in the skin tone, and the make-up. This skin will perfectly complement all your essential autumn/ fall looks! And if you're lucky, the group is still free to join! (but this may change by the time you are reading this).

Also worn here is the gorgeous Halloween gift dress from G*field, gift hair from Magika, and gift shoes from Severed Garden. InFo: Skin: Aeva/Heartsick ~ Jaci/ Autumn Kiss (October group giftie), Hair: Magika ~ Halloween Group Gift ~ Faint/Candy corn (subscribo group gift), Eyes: Mayfly ~ Deep Sky Eyes/ Rose Blush, Dress & Tights: G*Field (group gift, free instore), Shoes: Severed Garden (Halloween subscribo gift), Nails: [Virtual/Insanity] Halloween plain pack.
