My baby who jumps into my arms, in a hurry

Tú eres mi refugio y mi verdad

Mi bebé que me calma el alma, con risas

My baby that calms my soul, with laughter

Tú eres mi refugio y mi verdad

You're my refuge and my truth"

The Preaching Shopper

Is there such a thing as unnecessary shopping?

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

Hope you all had a beautiful Saturday, now tell me, can you recognize my location in the pictures?

Don't worry, I'll be giving you the answer at the end of this post.

Settle

~ Vera Blue ~

Yesterday as I stood in front of the store display, I faced the hard decision of which color/colors

to buy since I loved all fifteen of them. I had made the promise that I would no longer

go overboard buying fatpacks on some of the items I liked the most.

I found myself debating between red, which is Steppenwolf's favorite color on me, and black,

which not too long ago was a color I didn't like wearing at all but now I am starting to like a lot.

"You may not often see me wearing black because 

for me it has a negative effect. It brings my spirit down..."

-Lori Novo (Blog Post)

 I now stand corrected and bite my tongue, OUCH!

Anyway, as I stood there trying to make a decision between black and red suddenly and very slowly my left

eye caught a glimpse of the yellow one that also looked very pretty, and right next to it, holding hands

were peach and light blue, which are two of my top favorite colors. "Dang it, you guys are not helping

at all. Turn around and stop showing me how beautiful you all are!"

Now the blouse on display was might pretty that getting it in just only one or two colors

felt so unfair and almost painful. So I stood there for about twenty minutes, seriously, not kidding,

trying to make a decision, and since I couldn't limit my choices to just two, I ended up getting the

beautiful blouse in five different colors. Will I ever get to wear them all? Probably not! 

But they sure make my wardrobe look like a very happy colorful rainbow. ;)

Yes, I do tend to buy fatpacks on many of the items I liked the most during weekend sales.

I usually end up with at least five every weekend. However, this weekend I stopped myself

from making such purchases and was able to reduce the number of fatpacks I bought.

Can you guess how many I got? Answer at the end of the post. :P

Another one of my bad shopping habits is buying items that look very similar to each other,

for example, hair. Hair is the number one item in my wardrobe, so I have styles from different

designers that look very similar to each other and the only difference between them may be

a tiny wisp of hair here and there.

Now how about those items we buy just because they are being offered to us

at very low irresistible prices by our favorite designers but that we really don't like? For me, 

one of them has to be Truth Hair. I have to say though, Truth was, is, and will always be my 

favorite hair designer. And with that said, I will add that I do love most of his beautiful hair creations,

a strong 95%. However, there have been very few times when I did not like the hair being offered

during the weekend sales but since it was a Truth's creation, I still went ahead and bought it

knowing very well that I wouldn't be wearing it.

Now, if I were to sit down and plan a better way to shop, I would be saving a lot of Lindens

and would not be hoarding so much unnecessary stuff in my inventory that keeps screaming for help.

So the answer to the previous question, "Is there such a thing as unnecessary shopping?", the answer is 

yes. It is not necessary to buy every single item we like or items we do not like simply because they

are being offered at low prices or by our favorite designers. I did take my buying "at least five fatpacks"

down to only three this week which makes me feel very proud of myself.

I understand that shopping is one of the favorite things to do in Second Life for most of us, especially

during the weekends when we are dying with anticipation in finding those WOW items from our

favorite designers. The thing is to set limits on how much we are willing to spend per store, event,

or better yet, for the whole weekend. Also, not everything that catches our eye is guaranteed to be enjoyable

after we purchase it. If you only knew the many times I bought an item that I thought was a WOW to later say

"OMG, what was I thinking!".

Now, I think it very carefully and rethink it again before I purchase something.

Is it something that I can use and reuse again and in different ways and combine with other things?

Is it something that I can excitedly and with an "I can't wait to wear it and wear it again!" say?

Is it something that is not a "Just in case I ever need it"?

And finally, now I do rate everything I buy from 1 to 10. If is less than an eight, it is not for me.

However, I have shown some mercy to a few poor sevens that got to make it in. Omg, I am such an angel! :P

So bottom line, it is best to have a smaller inventory in Second Life but filled only with items

that can score a perfect ten, with a few nines and top eights, than to have a packed inventory with

ones, twos, threes... well, you get it. Now, let's see if I can live by what I preach. :P

Looking For Lars

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE

“I don’t want to know what time it is. I don’t want to know what day it is or where I am.

None of that matters.”

― Jon Krakauer

Wild Winds

- SONOFDOV & Renee Maskin -

Lori & Sunny

The road was waiting to be weaved by our steps and with each turning of the wheel. Our main goal on that

day was to venture out in search of Lars, who we knew could be found on some remote road

asleep in the back of a van as it traveled with no defined destination.

Along the way, my loyal companion Sunny and I made a few stops to smell the roses, or in this case,

watch a paper boat navigate the flooded ditch that separated the dirt road from the wheat and Nanohana

fields. We watched it pass us by until it disappeared in the distance on the blue water, then again

appeared making its way to us again. Each time it happened, Sunny excitedly barked at it and seemed to

want to jump on it for a ride...

"Easy Sunny, you are too big for it!"

Our search for Lars had taken us to some faraway road on West 17 in Walch County.

It was North Dakota baby! Where the roads have no name and where castaway cars and buses

gather to rest looking up to the sky for the night bright stars and the shiny sun.

Welcome, this is Walsh County (General)

Sim's Description

... Uff da... it's North Dakota... or at least that little bit of it up in Walsh County. 

Come on over... I made a hotdish.  ***60 min auto-return*** Flickr

"Lars, is that you?"

Oh silly cat, it is you Loki Osiris (lokiosiris). My Lars is all black and you have touches of white.

HA, you almost fooled me!"

"WOOF WOOF! [Me Too]"

Now, it is not that Loki is not as good and beautiful as Lars, but my heart is profoundly set on Lars

and nothing will ever change that. But who is this Lars that I am searching for?

Lars is a three-year-old beautiful black cat who I absolutely adored. He melts my heart every time

he appears on screen. He was rescued at the age of two months from a No Kill Animal Shelter in

Los Angeles, California by YouTuber Mateo Bratton, who is hands down one of my favorite "Van Life

Youtuber"

 

"I Have Everything And Nothing At All

In 2022 I left my career in the LA music industry to take off on an adventure that I could have never

imagined, Van life! With my cat Lars. Come join us while we: explore amazing sites, meet great friends

and cook delicious meals! See you on the road!!! 🚀" -Mateo Bratton

Now, Mateo is one of the kindest people in the world. A man with a heart of gold.

You know, the kind that will share or give away his plate of food to someone else even if he has little or

none left for him to eat. And he does this always with a beautiful smile. He is the kind of man who

will stop in the middle of a busy road to save a turtle from getting run over. One thing Mateo and I have

in common is that we both are in search of something we love. It is just not the need

to roam freely in the world, but while I search for Lars, he searches for Banana Slugs, which he

absolutely loves. He sees them as if they are his friends, welcoming him and giving him good luck.

Mateo absolutely loves life, people, and animals and that may be one of the many reasons why he has

one of the fastest-growing channels on YouTube. Now, if you have a minute or two... ok more like

thirty-one minutes to spare, I have one of my many favorite videos from him where he shares his

motives for choosing this lifestyle and what it means to him, enjoy!

Van life: New Friends, Snowball Fights And More!!

By the way, Mateo writes his own music and sings beautifully. Two of my favorite songs from him are

Pangea and Take Me Hiya which you can listen to in his Apple Music channel.

Now going back to Lars who is the superstar in my heart.

We search for him high and low. From the top of the power line poles, all the way to the muddiest

ground. But Lars was nowhere to be found.

Maybe someday, not too far away, I will find him playing

with all the other animals in the Rezz Room, black as night, with golden eyes and a face so sweet...

Click Us, We Don't Bite CRUNCH! Just Kidding :P

Then, it'll be the three of us, Sunny, Lars and me free like three little birds living our van life.

But our search for Lars didn't go in vain. Sunny made a few new friends along the way which is

something Mateo always does wherever he goes. 

And while we find our Lars, because I really want my own Lars in Second Life,

Sunny and I goofed around and had a lot of fun. We climbed trees and swam in the mud, ran and danced

in the wheat and Nanohana fields, and chased the cows. And got showered with insecticide spray

by the helicopter spraying the fields... Wait, What?! :O

Anyway, by the end of the day, we were exhausted so we sat quietly to watch the sunset,

while we scratched each other's back. "Omg Sunny, why are we so itchy and red?"
