#371 The devil is in the detail with Rapture at Penumbra Autumn/Winter Fashion Week



We’ve got that happy weekend feeling! We’re looking forward to cosying up in big jumpers and eating pie and mash without worrying about our bikini body. The confused in-between weather that hangs around during Autumn is my favorite when it comes to getting dressed; it opens a up a world of options. Chunky knitwear with thigh-skimming minis, long trenches with denim cut-offs… It’s the best. But wait, before we start delving into the stews and crock pots, Penumbra A/W Fashion Week continues for only two more days showcasing some amazing works and styles.

 The devil is in the detail as they say and we couldn’t agree more when it comes to Penumbra Fashion Week.   Penumbra A/W Fashion Week is a five day celebration of fashion and intrigue, featuring some of the most well known names in the industry. Masked with brilliant colours, intricate embroidery, creative and artistics pieces and luminous fabrics – Penumbra Fashion Week is a radiant feast for the eyes.

#370 Standing Strong with Indyra and Eyelure



Stress is something I’ve been intimately acquainted with since I was a teenager. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself to perform to a high standard, and often end up losing sleep due to stress. Since I’m working on decreasing stress in my life, since my recent illness, I have been reading non stop what could be the cause of my sudden mind blowing migraines which seem to be non stop at least twice a week.

I think what I was surprised to read, was the friends of mine saying, “play through the pain” or “it will get better soon" when we sustain an injury or get ill? More often than not, these slogans are more harmful than helpful. Most definitely you need strength to get through the pain, However, If your body says that it’s hurt, then take the message seriously and use your mind to help the healing process along. Not listening to your body is a good way to aggravate an injury or to ignore it completely, things will only get more serious.  Don’t think of that nagging injury as putting the brakes on your training progress. Instead, look at it as an opportunity to reassess your needs for the moment. Shift your mindset and understand that the time off during the healing process will serve you better in the long run. Your health is important. So what if the boss is yelling at you, you need to come in and/or the phone rings non stop from work. You need to give your body the proper time it needs to heal, and it will rejuvenate and refresh you in the end, no matter what the illness. Basically, you are only human, so sometimes it is your body saying time to slow down.

#369 This corner of the earth with Ghee at PENUMBRA. Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2014


This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of this I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
So inspired of that there's nothing left to do or say
Think I'll dream, 'til the stars shine..

I bathe in the gentle breeze of autumn enjoying some sunset bliss on the lake at Neva River, another favorite destination of mine.  It is a beautiful time of the day to just be, breath in the salt air, watch the blue sky turn yellow, orange and pink and bask in the ambiance as the last of the warming sunlight reflects off the land. When all else in life feels hectic, erratic and slightly frenzied, I can count on a walk along my favorite path just to re-energise and re-balance my spirit.

#367 Forgot the keys again, with GizzA Creations, Apple Fall, Truth, and Scarlet Creative


On my last day before my holidays, I jumped in the car, my usual hour and a half to work and when everything was going well, traffic and no grannies on the road, I realised I left my office keys at home.  After the first wave of panic I figured they must be perhaps? in the bottomless pit of my purse.  “Maybe you left them in your car” suggested the other manager – that would mean my car keys were also in the car – with no way to get them out except to call for help asking friends to break into my house and bring the spare keys. OMG what a start to the day!.

I was so upset at my lack of memory and organisation and the onset of early dementia for sure.  I was just about to go walking through the mall, give up work altogether, cry and do a childish tantrum all at once, ad then I realised I had left the window to my car open. It dawned on me I could reach in.
Sure enough, on the seat was my car keys and in the compartment there was the office keys after all.  As it turns out I was more organized than I’d given myself credit for. If only I’d remembered my technique for NOT losing my keys and next time, remember to close the damn window.

#366 Take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile with Isapchi, 8f8, Scarlet Creative, Apple Fall, and Tres Blah


The past few weeks have been pretty intense. I adore my friends dearly, I do. But we're all getting a little fed up with each other and the drama is getting crazy for some reason. Sooo... I think I'm gonna take a little break. Take the phone off the hook for a while, relax and take a trip to the country.

It was so nice to just be alone with my own thoughts for a little bit. I hardly ever am alone anymore being so busy with work, family and friends. I was just walking down the main road to the house where I was staying, and decided to turn and then I wandered where I got lost. It was beautiful. There were green and golden fields and the mountains were so close, bursting with oranges and reds and yellows. The road was lined with sunflowers, almost the entire way home. Sunflowers are my favorite flower, in case you weren't aware. The sun was setting and it gave the whole atmosphere a sort of golden, rosy glow. I just breathed it all in and  kept on walking. I had no idea where I was, which felt a little relieving. I had nowhere to be, no one to see, I knew roughly which direction home was, and that was all I needed, was not worried in the slightest.  I thought about who I am. It's a little cliche but I guess that's something everyone's constantly trying to figure out or change or keep sight of. So I went back to the basics and turned off the mobile just to relax for a while and feel alive once again.

#365 Listen to your heart with Purple Moon, Glam Affair, [sYs] Design, 8f8 and Tableau Vivant

#364 Doomsday's Closer with Opal, Coco, Zigana, Baiastice, and Oyasumi




Most people go through their daily lives assuming that tomorrow will be a lot like today. No pits of fire will open up, society won't collapse, and the world will most likely not end. But for others, doomsday has a certain appeal. I have always wondered why.



I am no different like others though, I love the thrill of the apocalyptic movies such as "Book of Eli, The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and Planet of the Apes". Just to name a few.



The apocalyptic worldview springs from a desire to reconcile two conflicting beliefs. "The first is that there is something dreadfully wrong with the world of human existence today," or there is a sense that there is a higher good or some purpose for existence, a hope for a better future."  With more and more technologies able to wreak mass destruction, a greater knowledge of what cosmic threats our planet faces, and more forms of media capable of trumpeting Armageddon, it seems as if there is more hype than ever about one supposedly impending apocalypse or another in the future despite all the failed doomsday predictions over the years like for eg: 2012.



Feeling 'doomsdayish' with the awesome creations for this months event called Uber.

#362 Creativity is the Key with Legal Insanity, Tres Blah, Oyasumi and Apple Fall


Call it circadian rhythms, call it the daily ebb and flow of blood sugar, call it magic if you want; the fact remains that our brains seem to keep to a timetable that can be very hard to change and even harder to fight. Whether your personal schedule prefers you to work late at night and you like your sleep in's or myself love an early rise, get onto work, feel the soak of the sun and then the creative juices seem to flow after coffee at around 10am. It pays to understand just how your mind’s abilities wax and wane over the course of the day. So how can we discover our most creative times – and how can we best make use of them? The secret is to wake up when you want too, (dependent upon work), don't oversleep, eat well and then you will find yourself refreshed and ready to get out and about, or get busy being creative.

In Secondlife, so many designers have been doing just that, keeping busy being creative. Some of them to name a few is that of Legal Insanity. Wearing the beautiful cute Corset in Brown available now at the Rock your Rack Event, must see for all of you today.

#361 Its days like this with Jumo, Bravura and Senso


Have you ever had a day where all you want to do is run away. There are days that I just want to runaway. I want to runaway from the voice in my head. I want to run from the mess in my house. I want to run and just be on my own. I want to drive far away and have no distractions, no sounds, I don’t want to speak and I don’t want to see anyone I just want to runaway.

 Sometimes those days are just a way of us escaping from what is most important or a call out to say I need time to think.  I can’t explain the human brain fully but I think on days where you want to runaway, you need to find a few moments to at least runaway in your head. You need to find some quiet time.  Sometimes Secondlife gives us this quiet time. We need to find an outlet in which we enjoy and spend some time worrying less and enjoying what we love the most.

Well this day is going to be your day. Right now there are many events happening and one in particular is that of the Rock your Rack Event that is on RIGHT NOW!
So instead of running, teleport to this fantastic cause right here ready for you now.
