#173 Scared of love, but scared of life alone. Come join me at LivGlam

 
Seems like I was walking in the wrong direction
I barely recognized my own reflection, no

Scared of love, but scared of life alone.
Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby
Building walls around my heart to save me, oh
But it's time for me to let it go.

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I 'fraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again.

#172 On a bounty hunt with Pixelites Inc at Room69


Feeling very much like a bounty hunter standing here. What I didn't know is that Bounty Hunting is an important part of the American life. It all started from when outlaws like when Jesse James and Butch Cassidy roamed the land, local sheriffs didn't have the resources to track them down alone. So they put up "Wanted" posters offering rewards for their capture.  Bounty hunters now answer the call, tracking the bad guys relentlessly for a piece of the reward money. They do anything to bring in the outlaws, "dead or alive."

Today, the stereotype of the rogue bounty hunter remains, even though most modern bounty hunters are trained and licensed professionals. The Wild West free-for-all has been transformed into a real business and is an integral part of the American justice system.

Wearing this cute summer crop top and skinny jeans from Pixelites Inc, I suggest you quickly go grab this bargain at Room69 which is open from August 1st - August 15th.

#171 It is Neva far away when the day draws to a close



I listen when I can, listen when I can, To this picture of you
I carry in my hand. Lets me hear you say, You're never far away

And the dirt beneath, My heels in the road, Obeys command to me, And serves me as I go
And though it, Help to know, You're never far away, I can't help
Wondering how you might feel, About me today


And the dirt beneath, My heels in the road, Obeys command to me
And serves me as I go, And though it, Help to know
You're never far away, I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today

#170 Blackout on a warm summer's night with Eyelure and We're Closed


Summer in Australia can be magical, warm, and unbearably hot. What some people don't tell you is that in the summer Australians suffer from many blackouts across the land. Spring and summer storms can also cause blackouts that may last eight hours or more from downed power lines and blown transformers. The storms don't last long, but the power outage can be for quite some time.

As Australian's seem to get used to blackouts we find many ways to make the time enjoyable.      
Some of which includes, grabbing a lantern, or lighting candles, pulling out the ole deck of cards, or just relaxing outside and remembering how to talk again - away from the computers, away from the games that children can't seem to put down.

Bringing back the laughter and the fun is what needs to occur.

So what do you do when there is a blackout? Just relaxing here soaking up the warm summer evening sun, I bring to you the beauty of Eyelure and our destination for today.

#167 Beauty from the depths with Chop Zuey, and PosESioN


An old man by a seashore at the end of day, Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face.
Tempest tossed island, seasons all the same, Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name.
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard, He lightens the beacon light at the end of world.

Oh, now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog. He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world and to her.

Anchor to the water, seabed far below, Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow.

This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world.
Horizon crying the tears we left behind long ago. So long ago.

Oh, now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog. He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world and farewell to her.

#166 Desert Girl with Legal Insanity and Ever an Angel


Arriving at our destination today, inspired by the stunning landscape, wearing the beautiful new bikini from Legal Insanity and the Silk Tibetan pants by Ever An Angel.

I bring to you the Gobi desert.

The Gobi desert is the largest desert region in Asia and the fifth largest in the world. It is also the windiest non-polar desert in the world. The climate that the area experiences varies greatly depending on the specific location due to the topography, which varies from plain, desert and mountain climates. The area annually experiences temperatures of up to 40°C / 104°F in the summer and has been known to drop to -24.4°C / -11.9°F in the winter whilst receiving limited rainful.

In 2014, people who dedicate there life to risks and challenges are going on a 'Gobi March'. The march is mainly running and a mix of walking.  The march covers some 250 kilometres / 155 miles,  of  terrain which includes grasslands, farmlands, dirt tracks, riverbeds, rolling hills, mountain valleys, plains and plateaus. Competitors pass through local villages and across grazing lands where shepherds tend to their flocks.  However, the dangers are endless!!

To run/walk this course you need to carry all necessary equipment yourself except for meals.  The Gobi March (China) is part of the 4 Deserts Series which was named by TIME magazine as one of the Top 10 Endurance Competitions in the world.

#165 YDea and Redgrave with ZZART



Since Roman times, graffiti has been a form of anti-establishment rebellion. But today it's transcending social nuisance to gain cultural and artistic credibility, unprecedented prices at auction and even presidential and prime ministerial approval.

However, at street level, a bitter war is being waged between graffiti writers, street artists and the police.

While graffiti writers face trial and prison sentences for their art, some street artists' work is lauded and protected behind Perspex. 

Such artists exist in Secondlife and one destination I would like to take you to today is the amazing work of ZZArt -  ZZArt Gallery, not to be missed.

#164 Three wishes at the Vineyard with Living Imagination and Gos


For many of us, there is someone that we know that either has had cancer or suffering from a form of cancer. A diagnosis of cancer marks the beginning of a journey full of emotional, psychological, physical and practical challenges. Challenges can relate to the shock of a cancer diagnosis and fears about the future. Or they may be due to physical side effects of treatment, such as nausea and fatigue.
There are also practical aspects of treatment to deal with, including costs and travel.

More specific emotional problems may include concerns about body image, hair loss or periods of anxiety or depression. 

The emotional, physical and practical journey can take a different direction altogether if cancer comes back or spreads. It’s not always easy, but over time, most people find they are able to cope with the changes caused by their diagnosis and return to the things that are important to them.

Today's destination is for Squinternet Larnia, who we know as Donna Flora who currently has an illness in which we wish a speedy recovery.  Please note, For every purchase from the Donna Flora event charities are being sent directly to Squinternet Larnia.

When we find out that others are sick we sometimes are at a loss for words. You can always say sorry but that sometimes just does not seem like enough. When finding out that one of my favourite fashion designers was unwell, I wanted to do what I could by blogging for her and in my own way saying I'm sorry, what can I do to help.

With so many festivals on today, such as the Hair Fair, and The Zodiac, my first destination is for "Donna Flora"

Donna Flora has many items that are just adorable to wear, they are stylish, irresistible and just fit perfectly. Showcasing today some of the many items available at this Festival for Donna Flora,  I wanted to wish Donna Flora a speedy recovery and for all of you don't forget to come visit " Love Donna Flora"

#162 I can't wait for the weekend to begin with Amarelo Manga


I can't wait for the weekend to begin, I can't wait for the weekend to begin.
I'm working all week long, and dreaming the days away,
I wanta to sing my song, so let the music play.
 
I have to get my kicks and fly tonight,
When the clock strikes 6 on Friday night,
 
I need to blow it all away,
 
I can't wait for the weekend to begin, I can't wait for the weekend to begin.
I can't wait for the weekend to begin,
I make it what I can, I try I try...
 
I'm going to blow it all away.
I can't wait for the weekend to begin, I can't wait for the weekend to begin.
