Dear Secret Santa !

Last year arround october my blog took a turn into decoration area, at first wasn't so exciting but in december I applied to be part of SL Secret Santa and I got to be Secret Santa for a girl who wanted decor stuff so while I was shopping for her I got to be so excited that I almost forgot my purpose and all I was thinking is how I will decorate my SL home for Christmas. From that point was no turning back, I was hoocked and I love more and more each time I do a home & decor blog post. Yes it can take a lot more time to do it and you have to put more effort but it is also so much fun and exciting.

Dear Secret Santa, I know you have a hard job to find out the perfect gift for a persone you might not know so well or even at all so I tought I could give some tips to help you out:

*Being a blogger I am part of many blogger groups of my favorite stores so I will be listing only the stores I like and I don't own most of their items. 

My favorite colors: peach, mint, navy, cream and black.
My favorite clothing stores: The Secret Store, Vive9, House of Fox, Tee*fy, u.f.o, Maitreya.
My favorite hair stores: Lelutka, Lamb, Truth, LaViere (Hair Colors I wear - Light Blondes & Light Brown )
My favorite shoe stores: Gos Boutique, Ingenue.
My favorite skin stores: Glam Affair, Pink Fuel.
My favorite accesories stores: LaGyo, Maxi Gossamer.

I also love all  Tres Blah decor items from The Arcade and I only have 3-4 of them. But most of all I would love for you to enjoy this "job" and have lots of fun !

  The land impact for this home and decorations is 148 !

Without imagination there is no life, without books there is no imagination ..

Pssst! Did you knew about the limited edition of "Francesca Window Nook" from Cheeky Pea  There will only be 100 sold ( EVER! ) at The 24 and because it is limited edition you might want to hurry up if  you wish to grab one. There are item givers associated with the sits and the seasons in the window change on touch.

Pssst 2 ! The Arcade is starting real soon and I got my hands on a preview for the cutest books in SL made by Sienia Trevellion, the creator behind Lark. I love books because in RL I can read them and in SL they are my favorite decoration items, I just like to trow them arround. Oki my sweets, it's 3 am and I will stop rambling right now.

Love, Roxi !

Bust Out Of Your Bubble Blogger !

Skylar Coeur came up with a challenge for us bloggers and she did good cause we sure need this from time to time. Te challenge was to be paired with another blogger and make a blogpost together but if you didn't sign up for this just contact a blogger wich you admire and ask for a collaboration, you will love this experience.

As a blogger I see myself working every minute in sl on a platform alone and forgeting to socialize and even to share my joy of taking shots with my fellow bloggers. I kept telling me that I have to reach other girls and boys to make more collaboration and each time I get caught by my own obsession.

Social Media Meme

Berry has come up with another meme about Social Media and I will join my planned blogpost with this meme. It's quite interesting this ideea because made me actually read posts from other bloggers and I can get to know them better. At the beggining sometimes I just made photos and drop some credits when I wasn't inspired on my writting and let's face it I am not that good at grammar so that always makes me worry I will make horrible misspelling and everybody will notice.

But for a long time know I write on each post whatever I feel without the fear and with this tought in my mind: only by practicing I will get better. When I created this blog I knew I wanted to use english because it's universal language wich most of the people knows it.

What was the first social network you joined using your SL Avatar ?

Flickr in March 2011

Wich social network are you currently on using your SL Avatar ?

Flickr 

Plurk

Right now I joined Google+ and Koinup so feel free to add me as I am new 

Wich network is your favorite ?

Well since I only use 2 I will have to say both, each of them have different characteristics that I like. Plurk because I can socialise and reach people as I couldn't do it in SL and Flickr because I can share my work and also see other's work very easy.

Wich network is your least favorite ?

I can't really understand why is facebook and others networks necessary since this two I have known are awesome but now I keep thinking maybe I should try too. I don't know maybe I'll have a blast or maybe I'll get borred. Sometimes is hard to deal with so many ways of networking.

Wich network do you have the most amount of connections ? 

Flickr 

How/Where do you usually read/use most of your networks ?

On my laptop -> it's my life ( before having this laptop I was telling my phone it's my life )

What are your favorite social network apps? ( if applicable )

I have Plurka and Flickr on my phone but I use them very rare.

What do you like most about social networking sites ?

The fact that I can socialize, share and see other' s people work,toughts and beliefs. Also I can find out stuff that I may miss in world.

What do you like least aboust social networking sites ?

Drama and rude people. Many times when I wanted to say something bad about someone or something I've changed my mind and reffrain myself from writting it down because it's a bad habbit and I want to get ride of it and I also don't want to be the same like other people. I am the nice girl whom if you will talk ugly with her, she will ignore it ( well not always because I am a human and I can defend myself and be bad too, but I prefer not to )

Do you feel social networks are good way to promote you/your brand/your work ?

Yes !! it's a good marketing tool if you know how to use it and not abuse it. 

What is your main reason for using Social Networks ?

First when I joined Flickr was just for sharing pictures with my friends on SL and they didn't have a drop of fashion/blog/anything else, it was just a "facebook" for SL. Now of course is for promoting my work but also for the fun of being part of a community.

Lazy Friday ..

Well hello sweeties ! Today was "supposed" to be end of the world and look here I am typing without anything happend. The actual prediction doesn`t affect me in any situation but, there is a big but, people is going crazy with this apochalipse stuff, on radio I keep hearing this awefull comercials with doom`s day theme. I hate bad comercials and it`s so frustrating to hear over and over their stupidity.

Ok besides this we have more important stuff to talk about such as fashion and home decor in sl :D. You may know we have a Secret Santa thing going on and tho we had to wait at least till 21 november to give our gifts I was way too excited and already gave it to Shukki, my santee, yesterday. She asked for furniture, I can`t remember the last time I bought furniture and I must confess I didn`t thought it was soo fun to shop, it`s the same excitement as going at shopping for clothes and hair. Yeah it`s crazy, I know.

And while I was at Collabor88 again I couldn`t reffrain myself from buying this gorgeous cottage at a super price. It`s sooo worth the money, I may got a new addiction. Oh wait that`s not it, you must check Lisp Bazaar if you want cheap decorations and to be at a high quality. For further credits scroll down the page :)

My sweet pine tree ..

Good afternoon sweeties !! When I make photos I have some preferences and I need a certain mood, as I don`t feel yet for snow but I do have that indoor, cozy mood and everybody is decorating I tought it would be great for a Christmas theme to do right now.

I don`t know if you`ve noticed but I do tend to wear skirts on peach colour and not only, I guess you can call me a peach whore :)) . Also mint or teal makes me smile, I think I`ve made a real passion for this colours and when I saw this adorable cozy sweater from Geometry I knew instantly I want to wear it with my sweet new skirt from Monso.

Besides my new adddtions in mather of decor, gift boxes, poinsettia flower and cute teddy bear, all mesh from Meli Imako, I found a really good deal from What Next on Christmas trees on marketplace, only 10 L$ and it looks very nice tho they have a little disatvantage because of many prims. But this is not that important especially when it`s almost free, also check out other products because you can find a lot of decors on only 10 L$.

Finally I bought a pack of Slink mesh hands and I am very trilled, I did had some tinting issues but hey it`s not my strong point on this area. Oh and I love The Arcade, look what cute necklace and flats I have?
