It’s only up to me

Something deep down
Something deep down
Something deep down is
Tellin’ me “listen to your gut”
Your instincts, you should always trust
Calling you to run run to and not from
When they think they won won let ’em know what’s to come
‘Cause this time around
I’ma listen to that
Something deep down
Every now and then we lose ourselves going round the bend
Staying put ’cause I’m too afraid it will end
One step back gives me three steps forward
It’s your mistakes bring you closer
The sun will come up but will I, I, I?
It’s written in the stars but do they lie, lie, lie?
It’s only up to me to make it right, right, right
It’s only up to me to make it right, right, right

Some goodies!

It would seem that I’ve been bitten by the decor bug again. I’m sure it will pass, it always does. I’ll be back to cranking out fashion pics hand over fist in no time. For now, here’s what I’m serving up today. A magical Easter feast in the park? I dunno man, I just wanted to decorate this table with some of the goodies at Bloom, okay? Why are you giving me the third degree? GAH! *laughs* Yeah, this is very much like a conversation I have with myself.
Anyway…have a good look, everything you see (except background foilage) is from Bloom or TLC (which I now own, in case I haven’t mentioned that). HA! Listen…it’s late…*looks at the clock*…ok, it’s late somewhere! All I know is that I’m tired and feeling exceptionally goofy tired.

She would shine

“She was like the sun,
She knew her place in the world –
She would shine again regardless
of all the storms and changeable weather
She wouldn’t adjust her purpose
for things that pass.”
― Nikki Rowe

This post is all about Bloom by Prism Events. I have been blogging for Prism Events…well, for years. I absolutely love the three events they put on throughout the years. Bloom is all about Spring and this year, with Easter around the corner, we’ve got an abundance of cute Easter themed items, as well. Don’t get too overwhelmed thinking that these items will only work for Spring, though. As you can see by the photo, I’ve created a summer theme using the gorgeous house from Concept that you can acquire at the Arcade. If you want to see more of the house, I did two posts about it earlier this month. You can see those here and here.
I grabbed this hair weeks ago during a Fifty Linden Friday and then yesterday Cynful released silky textures on their Buttoned Tube Top. Knowing Cyn, it’s probably still out so hurry! The rest just kinda fell into place as I was looking around at the different items I’d collected from Bloom. All in all, I’m really pleased with how my photo turned out. I hope it will inspire you to create some wonderful Spring & Summer spots of your own, or at least a cute outfit…cuz these shorts…*bites her lip*…they are sooo cute!!!!

Staying Home

Staying home is not a new concept for me and my day to day life hasn’t changed much because of all this. However, I realize this is quite a struggle for some and that many people get extremely bored during this time. I wish I could share all the wonderful ideas for things to do at all…alone, but there’s not really not enough time, nor does anyone really want to read a list of stay home ideas from an sl blogger. I do, however, hope that you’re all doing your part to flatten the curve. For many areas of the world its only going to get worse before it gets better. So, count your blessings that you have a home to stay in and pray for those that don’t. The world is a scary place these days and we all need to do our part…now more than ever.

Making Room for Pizza

They had moved to the big city with dreams of an exciting nightlife. No one had ever anticipated being locked down over a pandemic. These two had been friends their entire lives and had been through all sorts of heart aches, but nothing had compared to this.

As Sady finished off another donut, she rubbed her tummy and sighed, “Thank God workout clothes are stretchy!”

Stef lifted her leg to let another one rip across the room, “OMG! Right!?!?”

Sady scrunched her nose and laughed, “I should try that, maybe I’d have room for more pizza!”

Stef laughed, “You weren’t supposed to hear that!”

Sady gave her a look, “I heard it, smelled it, and watched you lift your leg like a dog to let it out!”

It was right then, that their little Yorkie, Puddin, let out an outrageously disgusting little fart of her own. I guess she’s making room for pizza, too.

Rearranging

Okay, so the whole social distancing thing is something I’ve been practicing for many years. However, during this time, I have decided that its time for me to rearrange my furniture. My bedroom in rl is rather odd, so there’s really only two walls my bed can be on, but its been on the wall between my windows for years. It’s time to sling it around to the other wall, plus I’ve taken this time to do some spring cleaning…getting rid of things and acquiring new things. *giggles* It’s called recycling! Wait…no, I guess its more like replacing…DON’T JUDGE ME! Anyway, I thought that rearranging furniture would be a great activity for people in RL during this time of rearranging our lives.

Hey, Watch!

It just so happened after I shot this picture, some of my lovely friends invited me to come hang out at The Bay (where I sometimes host). Well, I was already dressed for it, so why not, right? Upon landing they were quick to inform me that I looked like BayWatch reloaded…*giggles* I have to admit, that was kinda the look I was going for…I even pumped up the tatas for this shot. I even laughed when I did it, because it was more like, “Hey, Watch!” than BayWatch.  Anyway, we’ve got gorgeous earrings from Triggered paired with a swimsuit from Boosh, both can be found at the current round of Belle. Add in this gorgeous windblown hair from Wasabi that’s over at Bloom and I’m ready for the beach!

Only Girl

Want you to make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world
Like I’m the only one that you’ll ever love
Like I’m the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world…
Like I’m the only one that’s in command
Cause I’m the only one who understands how to make you feel like a man (yeah)
Want you to make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world
Like I’m the only one that you’ll ever love
Like I’m the only one who knows your heart
Only one…

Want you to take it, like a thief in the night
Hold me like a pillow, make me feel right
Baby I’ll tell you all my secrets that I’m keepin’, you can come inside
And when you enter, you ain’t leavin’, be my prisoner for the night
