Sweetest Taste Of An Ageless Rush

“what is love? what was love for me?

it was when I believed I was the happiest person on earth if I had only him and nothing else

it was when I looked at him and felt a pain in my chest over how I would find anything more beautiful

it was when I started writing cause what he made me feel was so intense

it couldn't just remain in my thoughts

it was pain, a feeling that emptied out my chest and ate me alive knowing just because I love you,

it didn't entitle me to have you.

My love for you was like an ocean slowly drowning me

and I was clinging to the last piece of driftwood that was my hope.”

Hello Beautiful World!

After the storm comes the... beautiful Friday?

Is that how it goes? I am fairly certain that is correct. ;)

My Pollito and I survived the storm last night, yay! There were over 2000 lightning strikes

recorded in my area, and much heavy rain and very strong winds. Pretty scary.

By the time my Steppenwolf came to see me, my stress level was over the top, happy and grateful

that it was over and that we were safe, but still shaking.

Many surrounding areas lost electricity, but I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't.

Now, after the storm comes the cleaning up. Tree branches, leaves, and my neighbor's trash.

I woke up to a yard covered in trash, probably a month's worth of trash, not kidding.

Call me crazy, but after last night's scare, I thought the yard actually looked very festive and happy this morning,

colorful with all the trash, like a beautiful spring garden. ;) Thank you neighbor for the trash!

Time for dinner now.

Wishing you an exciting and restful weekend ahead. Stay safe and happy, always!

Those Memories Of You

PERSONAL UPDATE

OMG Sunny, if only my Steppenwolf was here he would cook us some juicy burgers

and massage my feet... Are you missing him too?

Bark once for yes and twice for no.

"WOOF WOOF WOOF!"

What do you mean?

"WOOF WOOF WOOF!"

Omg I miss him so much!... (Sighs)

Those Memories Of You

- Wanda Vick · Leslie Satcher -

So the other day I found a very interesting YouTube video that I want to share

with you. It is about a young girl who converted a bus into a home and travels around in it

with her dog. She actually did all the labor work herself which is pretty impressive I'll say.

Now, if I was five years younger... okay okay, make that fifteen :P

honestly, that is the life I would like to be living if I was younger and not so sick.

I would build myself a small home on wheels like she did and travel the world living a

simple life, and free like a bird. 

I don't need a big luxurious home or expensive designer clothes or jewelry and fancy dinners.

Those things have no appeal to me. I prefer the freedom to travel and see the world in the

coziness of a small home on wheels with just the essentials. That would bring so much joy to me.

Now the video is about 32 minutes long and it is my favorite build from similar videos I've seen

so far. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did. ;)

A Whole New World

"I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid

Tell me, princess, now when did

You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder..."

Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world

Don't you dare close your eyes

A hundred thousand things to see

Hold your breath - it gets better..."

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

Yesterday Steppenwolf and I visited a beautiful location.

Welcome, this is SPRING FAIR 2024 (General)

A Kids Safe SIM!

Description

ToddleeDoo Events is thrilled to invite everyone to the Spring Fair! Running from March 22nd

to April 8th, their Annual Easter Eggs Hunt will take place but with a new twist: this year

it will be held at a single location for a real egg hunt experience.

All are welcome, both young and old, to join in fostering unity 

in children and families community.

It was actually my Steppenwolf that suggested we go and do an Easter egg hunt

to which I happily agreed but it wasn't until we got there that we realized it was a hunt for children.

Still, we decided to stay and I am so glad we did because even though the egg prizes contained items

for children, some of those prizes can also be fun for us grown-ups. There is no need to join any group

to do the hunt and the hunt prizes are free! There are still four days left to do this hunt before it ends

on April 8th.

Hunt Description

Over 50 designers have prepared at least one egg to hunt within the fair grounds!

Attach the best-fitting easter egg basket found in this starting kit then explore the grounds to find the

eggs. For every 10 minutes you are on the sim, your basket will gain a new egg, for a total of 6 eggs.

After achieving a full basket, you will unlock the ability to fill the basket manually.

A big thank you to Eeilee Zentz for preparing this special basket for the fair. 

Keep in mind:

- Inside each uniquely textured egg is its own corresponding gift. 

- You will find all eggs within the inner curb of the park (not within booths).

- Every time an egg is collected, it will move to another position. Tricky, tricky!

- You may collect the same egg only once per day, even though it moves.

The egg will let you know if you have already found it.

- A majority of creators have posted hints of their egg contents, but some chose to keep 

the gifts a surprise!

- There is no HUD to keep track of all eggs received, due to limitations, but this will make the hunt

more interesting and life-like ❤ We recommend you check designer ads for gift hints.

Some of my favorite booths.

Bad Seed ● Hideaway ● Viv.a! Kids ● Sleepy Fawn ● Little Bun ● Little Friend ● Babybop ● Lovey

Chololo ● Flaminko! ● NRs! ● MOOSE ● Teeny Pixel ● Pixel Baby ● Lula Belle

The main part of this beautiful Spring location is the Spring Fair where you can find everything from

cute and beautiful clothing to toys and other children's items. I did see some very pretty dresses and

accessories that I liked for my Little Alice avatar. 

Fair Description

In each booth, you will find New and Exclusive spring-themed releases by our talented kid and family

designers. You can visit our main sponsor booths in the plaza. The majority of booths are found on the

outer perimeter street of the grounds, as well as a few booths within our garden area.

And as it always happens, I visit a location for one thing, but I always end up staying for the scenery.

This time, this location turned out to be one of the most beautiful ones I've seen. As you know,

there are only four days left to visit this year's Toddleedoo's Spring Fair and Easter Egg Hunt

so you must hurry. Just remember that it is a kids' safe zone so make sure you remove any/all

adult/sex huds and attachments before you get there. ;)

Thanks for stopping by my beautiful people, have a great day/evening everyone!

Much love,

Lori Novo

Sakura Matsuri 🌸 Second Life

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

I do love attending shopping events where you can't help but smile not only for how beautifully

they have been decorated, and the great exclusive items I can find and those surprisingly very low,

special deals that are so hard to resist, but most of all, by the beautiful people that I get to see, dressed

in their very best clothing. 

Welcome, this is the Sakura Matsuri festival (Moderate)

Uptempo Japanese Music - Traditional Japanese Music For Background Music & Ambience

Sakura Matsuri is the largest Japanese cultural celebration in the United States which celebrates the

coming of Spring. From April 13 through April 14, this beautiful Japanese street festival

will be celebrated with cultural performances, authentic Japanese food, martial arts, artisans,

and much more! It all happens in Pennsylvania near Capitol Hill I believe. You can read more

about this beautiful festivity HERE.

But as we all know, in Second Life we do enjoy early celebrations and so we have the opportunity

to attend now this beautiful festivity that opened on March 14th and will run all the way to March

31st. It is an open invitation by Team Okinawa to all to come and celebrate cherry blossom season

together at an event that has been so beautifully decorated in pink with beautiful surroundings of

Sakura trees and other beautiful areas if you venture outside the event's grounds.

Now, inside the event ground is just as beautiful as the outside, if not more festive I'll say.

I found the booths so nicely decorated and loved all the pink glowing confetti falling from the

sky and showering every attendee in pure cheerful joy, because really, who doesn't like to

be covered in confetti? I sure do!

These are just a few of my favorite booths at the event that offer beautiful exclusives

that are so hard to resist. I for sure broke the initial plan to go "just to see" but ended up returning

home with a few items that I bought and had to hide under the bed so Steppenwolf didn't see

that once again, I used his credit card on a shopping spree. :P

Now I do want to mention that one of the best parts of the event is the 65L$ items that are on sale.

Trust me when I tell you that they are the best. Very high quality and many come in Fatpacks and 

include new or retextured items. So make sure you look out for these 65L$ deals in every booth

while you are there, I am sure you won't want to miss them. ;)

However, [SHIFUKU] From Tonarino was my #1 favorite booth in all of the event,

not only for the beautiful exclusive but also for the 65L$ offered which is a must to get.

Now, as you all already know, my favorite thing to see at any event, exploring, shopping, etc.,

is the people. I always find them as the most beautiful part of my Second Life journey.

I love saying hello and many times chatting with them if they have the time, and Sakura Matsuri had

so many of them, all beautiful that I couldn't stop from clicking my camera in every direction.

However, I saved all those pictures for future posts, three different blog posts to be exact.

Coming Very Soon!

If I had to rate this event from one to ten I would give it a high ten for sure.

The overall experience during my visit was cheerful and very welcoming. The people were

very friendly and I loved how most were quick to return my hello's, something that always makes

me very happy and I appreciate very much. I also loved the exclusives created for the event by many

of my favorite Second Life designers, and not to forget the 65L$ deals that our great designers so

graciously have to offer out of their kindness, Thank You So Much! ♥

I remember very well a particular event that I loved very much years ago where every designer

would price one color from their exclusives at a great discount. Does anyone know what event I am

talking about? Mmm, I'll give you the answer on Read More. ;)

If only every Second Life event would provide great discounts for their customers we would be living

in a perfect virtual world. :P

This is all for now my beautifuls. Please make sure you check out this great event if you haven't yet.

And please feel free to leave me a comment, I would really love to hear from you.

Have a beautiful day everyone!

Much Love,

Lori Novo
