I know I have not blogged in a few weeks. I got a new computer and it took time to get it all set up and ready to work on blogs! December has been so full of amazing things in Second Life. Lelutka is giving away two free Evolution X heads! Up until this point, I had tried on Avalon and played with it, but never fealt like it was "me" enough. I have spent some time working on the skin/shape on this new free Kaya head and I really LOVE it! I think it might totally be the new 2022 Kirsten. I really adore the static animations in the Lelutka Hud. What do you guys think? Does it look like Kirsten? 

      Truth was in Fifty Linden Fridays for the first time that I can ever remember with this amazing Christmas version of Adore with the Essential Pack which is normally 500L (full version blogged HERE previously). I hope you picked up this amazing hair when it was only 50L! If not, it is STILL there on the front counter for only 75L. I have no idea how long it will be there, so go grab it if you have not already. Also, Truth said that there will be a new FREE VIP gift hair soon, so make sure you pick up the FREE Curious hair as well. Not a Truth VIP member? You need to join! It is by far the best paid for group on the grid, imo. 

     Nantra is at the December 2021 round of The Liaison Collaborative with the Jingle Bell Rock pose pack. This pose pack is inspired by the "Mean Girls" talent show dance scene so it is vibrant and full of sass. Both of my poses in this post come from the Nantra Jingle Bell Rock pack. 

     Shop and Hop, Christmas 2021, is in full swing and there are twelve full sims with lots of free gifts. My two must have suggestions are this Look at Me outfit and Essenz shoes. The event is open until January 2nd and it has so many great FREE gifts. 

     Ok more about the new head, lol. When I get a new head, I have to spend time making a skin/shape combination that suits me. Amara Beauty happens to have a skin on sale for only 150L at their main store for Lelutka EvoX and I loved it and the best part- the new body skins (in counting by 10 numbers) are FREE! I made my own shape from my original shape that I have been tweaking since 2006, lol.

         The current round of Uber still has almost a week left, so make sure you get over there and make your final purchases. My Decoy dress is a new release at Uber. My Essenz boots were just released at The Liaison Collaborative. The boots are knit boots, so kind of like socks and boots all in one and I love how they go with this knit sweater dress. Truth just released this cute shoulder length, choppy hair style, Mitzi. As usual there is a style HUD and there are also two versions making up about 8 hairstyles all in one. Find it in the main Truth store.

        I recently bought my first Lelutka head because I wanted one for blogging items made only for Lelutka. I held off buying one for so long because I never found one that really felt like "me" and my Catwa Kimberly is absolutely me. I have tweaked this shape until I am pretty happy with it and I think it is pretty and close to "me". I still prefer my Catwa, but I am surprised by how much this is growing on me. Which head do you like better on me (please let me know in the comments)?

         Lelutka recently updated their heads to version 3.2. When you wear your head, it should automatically send you the update. I did not know how to use my old 3.0 version very well and I am not even sure of the updates, but Cassie did a video and Strawberry made a video- so definitely check those out if you have questions. Because this head is new to me (and I adore Pink Fuel and Luxrebel), I bought this month's Powder Pack. I did not have a lot of makeup or skins for this head and so it was a great way to get a whole bunch for a relatively low cost. Especially since this pack contained two skins, tons of makeup, eyes, and lashes. I really loved pretty much everything in the pack except for one lipstick set that did not fit my lips. I made an unboxing video so you can see all the goodies:


     

       This new retro style hair was just released by Truth at the Truth main store. I love all the details and of course it comes with a style HUD so you can change it up about 6 or so ways. Kunglers just released this gorgeous rose jewelry set at Sense Event.

        There is a new event, Au Lovely, and I have seen some gorgeous items. This event is all about delicate designs, frilly ruffles, floral patterns, lace, and feminine motif. So basically, everything I adore! Cae released this jewelry set and Just Because released this dress. They are both so pretty! Cae jewelry, as usual, is like buying a fatpack of gemstone textures. The ribbon and panties on my dress are texture change and the dress comes in sheer and solid (shown). My gorgeous lipstick is from Pink Fuel and also at Au Lovely. She just released a new lipstick set at the event, Cherish You, that is a must have for Catwa head wearers. My amazing eyes were just released by Arte at the Spoonful of Sugar event.




        I paired my dress with these new shoes just released by Essenz at the current round of Vanity. They have a bow on the back that goes perfectly with the bow on my Just Because dress.

          Essenz has been a quality original mesh shoe maker in SL for years. They have just released their first lingerie set at faMESHed. The main part of the lingerie is one color and then you can texture change the bows into 18 colors. They are sold in 6 different packs of 3 colors each or an 18 color fatpack. The cool part is the colors on the lingerie perfectly match Essenz shoes. I paired it with this pair that has a bow very much like the bows on the sides of my panties. Go get your sexy on with this new lacy lingerie set from Essenz at faMESHed.

        Blueberry is celebrating Second Life's 15th Birthday by giving us 500L store credit and 30% off on select items at the birthday event and also on marketplace. Click the board in the middle of the booth for 500L store credit. You can use it at the mainstore or right there at the event! Once you click the sign, you will have 5 days to use that credit! SLB15 ends July 2nd.
        Today, I am wearing two newer release items that have been released by Blueberry this month. You can find both the Leah set (right) and the Fye ruched tops and shorts (left) at the Blueberry main store. If you get the fatpack of the shorts, you can write your own text on the front and back. I have "summer forever" written on my shorts today. My shoes, jewelry, and hair are also all new releases.
        On the right, Essenz just released these strappy heels with thigh high ties as part of the faMESHed Go event. Find them at the Essenz mainstore. Kunglers just released the gorgeous Dalva necklace at the Sense event. Exile released the Flowers in the Sun hair at Rewind. This hair comes with a style HUD so that you can wear it with or without flowers, over either shoulder, or on both shoulders. The flowers texture change into 10 colors via HUD.
        On the left, Eudora 3D just released these Summer clogs at Shiny Shabby. The textures on these shoes are really well done. Cae released this simple bubble chain necklace and earring set at Ultra. The heart accents and chain change metal textures; silver, gold, bronze; indepently via HUD. I have already blogged one of the versions (longer) of this Wasabi hair that is at Arcade. I am showing the shorter braided piggy tail version in this post.




        In this close-up you can see the jewelry and hair a little better. Also I am wearing Pink Fuel skins in this post as well. On the right is the last in store new release, Minji. On the left is the new Lilou skin that was just released at Lootbox. This skin comes in 3 skin tones in the commons, but if you get the rare you get a bonus skin that comes in Porcelain, Vanilla (shown), and Apricot.
