Sorry for the rain of blogposts! I’m finally feeling better (no more fever YAY!) so I am trying to catch up a bit!

My gorgeous friend Izzie Button has released a brand new skin, named Harlow!  I LOVE IT! Check Izzie’s blog here for all the details on the skin and be sure to TP and try a demo!  I made a plurk here where you can post your screenshots, I’d love to see what you look like in this skin!

The clouds have gone away
To start a brighter day
We have waited for too long
It’s time to let it out
You know what it’s about
I’ve waited all to feel the sun
The harder it gets, the faster we seem to fall in love
The deeper we fall, the more we lose control
Set your mind free, it’s the Year of Summer

The harder it gets, the faster we seem to fall in love
The deeper we fall, the more we lose control

Set your mind free, it’s the Year of Summer

Keep your heart strong cause it’s all that’s here
Set your mind free, it’s the Year of Summer
yeah the Year of Summer’s here

The clouds have gone away
To start a brighter day
We have waited for too long

Today’s Tune:  Wildstylez ft niels geusebroek – Year of summer

Winter, cold, snow, 5 layers of clothing and still being cold… DONE! I am sooooo done with it! I can’t wait for spring! You know, cute little baby animals, beautiful flowers and some freaking SUNSHINE…

There’s NO way I am going outside with this crazy weather unless I absolutely have to!
I figured to just go nuts on my SL home instead. Some new deco, furnitures, just basicly anything to keep me from having to go out in the cold.
Before actual decorating can be done I had to decide on the colors of the walls. I pulled out my laptop to look for inspiration.

Some of my favorite sites to get inspiration from are: Casa de Smurf,  How Neva sees it, Prim Game Proper, Precious Treasures, Rezzing Dreams & Different Vibes

With all this new found inspiration I was filled with ideas but I figured I might need some help to get started.  Just like in RL, I basicly have two left hands and I usually just flash a smile and pull out my best puppyeye-look and help is on the way!

Lucky for me, my friend Arun Batra was totally bored and offered to come help me get started on some painting.

He started to prepare the paint while I just hopped on the ladder and tried my best not to drop paint on top of his head… *grins*

We put on some tunes and were off to a great start!

But Tya Fallingbridge kinda made this ladder prop for just ONE person to pose ehm I mean paint with…

All it took was one sudden move and then we just sort of lost our balance….

I figured it was time for a break and pulled out the laptop again to check my mail and update my plurk. Arun tried his best to peek at my Private messages…. but FAIL! Nice try!

Thanks Arun for helping me out! I can’t wait for the paint to dry and start decorating!  It was fun having you around!

Song inspiration: One Direction – Little things

Worrying means spending a lot of time thinking about bad things and being preoccupied with negative possibilities. The more you do it, the bigger your worries become. You may even find yourself worrying about all the time you’ve spent worrying.

There are many different types of worries. They include gloomy thoughts about what might happen in the future, about what is happening in the present, and about what is already in the past.

Finding the quote I used to name this blogpost, made me realise once again I worry way to much over things I can’t change anyway.  Worrying non stop won’t change they way things are, so it’s best to spend the time changing instead of wasting it on worries…

So ehm I went on a little exploring trip in my very own inventory today… I figured I would make a look with some old favorites and some items I never even unpacked *hides in shame*.  I surely have to start cleaning out my inventory very soonish, but it’s been fun putting this look together.

I got nothing left to prove
And it’s all because of you
So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing
Doing something right

It’s because of you I feel so lifted
I’ve been looking at my life from higher ground
Never thought that I’d be so elated
You’re the one who turned it all around

Everyone will go crazy over Hair Fair that is open today, so I figured I’d give myself a break snapping the tons of hairs I managed to grab and do this weeks color in Luna’s 52 weeks of color challenge first! Ok I am gonna show you  one of the amazing hairs I found at the fair this year because it’s just adorable!

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on Layla skin from Glam Affair but never had the funds. Imagine how excited I was seeing this version of Layla being on sale at the new Dressingroom! Only 70 lindens! YAY! And I figured it would be the perfect skin to use for Electric Blue! And since I’m in love with my new collection of N-Core shoes I will try post some close-ups whenever I put them on so you can have a better few! They are so pretty!
