Shop Your Heart Out - Part 1

Second Life is having another amazing shopping event... one where each store has a FREE gift!!!  Shop Your Heart Out 2018 is this years event.  Gotta love quality merchandise for free!

I'll break this down into 3 posts since there is so much quality stuff and I'll still not cover everything.  Pictured above is the Valentine 2018 Love Frame from Refuge.  Dress is Thalia Heckroth's Helena Gown Valentines Edition. Choker is from Rebel Hope.  It has a HUD with 4 colors (red, white, black and kinda pink/coral) and the metals can be gold, silver, rose gold or black.  Hair is wonderful!  It is from Exile called Jemma and includes a full fat pack of all colors!  All these items are free at the event.

Warning - event is very laggy and hard to get in, but believe me - it's worth the work.

For the rest of my look:

Visit Gizza For Free Gifts for Men and Women

Paris je t'aime

What a wonderful night with Risin and I strolling down the street of Paris.  Of course we had to stop by Gizza for our stylish new outfits for FREE!

Gizza has 44 free and very stylish (and very high quality) gifts for men and women.  Just join the group which is also free to join.  They are all in the courtyard just before the entrance of the store.  A lot of the men's and women's outfits are designed to go together.  This is well worth the stop.

From there, like any good woman, I needed a new pair of shoes.  N-Core is one of my favorites!  There are 4 free gifts for the group including the great boots I'm wearing now.  This group is $199 to join, but it is well worth it.  While I was there I spotted the $95 sale so I will be going back tomorrow and loading up my car with new shoes!

Now, if you have new shoes and a new outfit what would come next.  Hair of course!  A quick stop into NO.MATCH does the trick!  Got a new hair base for my new mesh head and they have several free hairs for both men and women upstairs.  This group is $50 to join so not too bad.

Risin was being patient but I didn't want to keep my man waiting so off to Paris je t'aime we went.  This is a beautiful sim with shopping and hanging out spots.  It was beautiful.

Gifts at Hair Fair 2017

Visit Hair Fair 2017  - Shop for a good cause!

Welcome to Hair Fair 2017.  This is a wonderful event that each hair designer has agreed to give a percentage of each hair sold at this event to a great RL organization called Wigs for Kids.  This is a multi-sim event so there is something for everyone.  Each vendor should say how much is being given.  I have seen everything from 15%-100%  with the average being 25%

If you are short on funds that shouldn't keep you from visiting the event.  A few of the designers have put out gifts for either FREE or $1. 

Of all the gifts I got, I think this one above was my personal favorite.  It is from TUKINOWAGUMA aka TKW.  It is called Razo and comes with several huds to provide a total of 150 colors!  It is a great braided hair style. 

I got a total of 7 free hairs, but there were a few more available.  Make sure  you pop in and check the whole thing out.  Beware there are times it may be laggy.

SL14B Event

There is still time to catch the 60+ wonderful gifts from some of SL's very talented designers!  The SL14B Event ends on June 26th.  Here you will find a few of the fun finds I got while I was there.

My Dress is from LYBRA.  In this picture you can't see just how adorable it is, but it has a soft floral skirt, white bodice and blue belt with a heart belt buckle.  Hair is from Alice Project.  They are actually giving away 3 hair styles, all with 15 colors to chose from.  My super fun cat hear headphones are from Exxess and you can do all kinds of customization with the hud.  My necklace which also came with earrings, bracelets and rings are from Construct and have a hud to change the gemstones and the metal colors.

I think my favorite in this picture has to be the adorable pets from Titans!  The blue one is Sky and the pink one is Cherry.  They both come in a carry me and wear me version and their eyes even blink!  OMG I love love love!!!!

Visit any of the 3 sims hosting the event.  They are all the same but this way everyone gets in and there is not as much lag.

Shown is a wonderful dress from APHORISM! called Autumn Cami Dress.  Matching it perfectly is the heels from KC Couture called Hedy Heels.  They actually match everything with a 40 color hud and the ability to customize the shoe, sole, inside sole, metals, etc.  They pose was on of 5 Bento poses as a gift from For City and they are all 5 great.  Hair is the gift from Tableau Vivant and has 24 different colors to choose from.

Wanted you to really get to see the beautiful bracelet from Z O O M called the To Love Bracelet that comes in 3 metal choices and the ability to click on it to resize.   Also shown are the nails from Alme called Pink Dream.  There are 4 choices for hands and feet for just about every body/hand/feet out there.

Only 1 more weeks to get these goodies while they last!

Is FREE really FREE??

That is a good question.  Here FREE means L$0 or L$1.  If you have to join a group to get a free gift the group must also be L$0 or no more that L$1.

Hunts and group gifts are a great source of good quality free items.  There are places like Free Dove that have good items but not all are great.  Most freebie places have very old stuff.  Free Dove is one of the better places to go.

There are a few groups that are also free to join that the sponsoring stores place new items just for members of that group.  I'll explain that more in another blog, but it's not joining the stores group (thought that will usually get you another free item) but joining a group of freebie hunters and wearing that tag to get the gift.

Tag??  What do you mean by TAG?

For any new players, wearing a tag is going into your groups, choosing the group you are wanting to wear that tag, then click activate.  It will change what it says above your head, but most importantly, it lets you get the group gifts that are offered.

For any questions on how to change your tag, please drop me a notecard in SL or message me on Facebook.

First FREE post will be later this week so keep your eyes open and subscribe to my blog!
