Call of the Wild

 

Got the worst news today.

I'll be returning to work full time in a week.

So all of my incomplete projects now just shot back up to the top of the priority list.

I left a few blogging groups, too and will continue to do so as the weeks progress and working on blogs and creations get more difficult.

I'm super saddened by this, but it is what it is.

Anyway, keep reading to get details :) :)

Gimme a Break

Welp, I had my month off from blogging.

Well, semi off. I did do a few blogs, but not the time consuming double gurl blog.

It was nice to not sit here with my butt aching in this chair lol.

I did start school so I am gonna go ahead and log in and get some homework done, so I won't be long on this blog post :)

Keep reading to get the details!

She's Got the Look

Heyyy, I have been happier on my blogging break!

It wasn't the full 30 days, as I did do some images here and there but it's been a lot more pleasant to be relaxed and have some sponsors on vacation.

I'll be coming back soon, mid Septemberish. 

I would like to try to do a couple releases by then, we will see.

Also I have taken on the role as the CSR and Blogging Manager for the Lueur brand.

Lord, now I know what Blog Managers have to deal with regarding bloggers.

I gives me a much better understanding of both sides now.

Anyway, it's nap time, so I'm gonna shut up and list credits LOL.

Shorty Blue

I had a co-worker I actually knew and very much liked who passed from Covid.

I can't stop thinking about her, mourning her. She really was committed to her job, a more than solid work ethic and committed to her team.

She was funny, easy going, a teacher who taught with kindness and patience and the loss is deep and painful to all who knew her.

Ann, I am thinking about you and I am praying for your eternal peace and happiness. 

Bless the woman you were and the spirit you are now as you watch over us. We're your mourning stars.

Pound Puppies II

Yeah yeah yeah, I know I said 30 days. 

I *did* go on vacay with SOME sponsors but some I felt like I owed since I hadn't blogged in a while or had requested vacation pretty recently with so I felt kinda obligated to do another blog. 

I believe I have one more and then I will more than likely take my break.

Plus, I picked up some extra hours at work. AND I am visiting my mom soon out of town.

So, don't call me a liar just yet, LOL, it's happening for more reasons than just a peace of mind.

Well, read on for the credits!

Happy Hour

Okay!

I think this is my last blog for at least a month.

I'm sure some sponsors will not like it and either waitlist me or make me reapply when they reopen blogger apps.

If that happens, then kudos. But, I need a break so I hope most sponsors will be understanding.

I've blogged consistently since 2017, so I deserve it :)

Anyway, thanks for the support, I'll see you all soon!

Beat the Heat

 Yes, two girls is extra work but ... it beats having to do 100 blog posts a month. 

I've done like  ... 9 blog posts this month and met all my blogging obligations.

So again, yeah it takes a little extra time because it's basically double the work but ... 9 posts. 

That's only 9 days worth of work for a whole month. Can't beat that!

Welp, I have to report to work tomorrow so I need to get off this thing and go to bed.

What's The Tea?

Man, if you live by and quote memes to like ... think for you, to use in conversation ... sorry, but log out of the internet and like ... learn how to process your own thoughts.

I'm not trying shit on people who use them to share and be entertained, but if you're having a serious conversation and you're regurgitating crap you've seen on FB and in memes ... yeah ... get a brain transplant.

Just a suggestion. That's the tea.

Liquor License

Sheesh, has anyone else noticed that their views are significantly lower on Flickr?

Or is it just me?

I used to get my usual 150 easily. Now it takes a couple days and it shouldn't really matter, but it does.

The usual people are still getting their 300 faves within 8 hours but I can't get my little 150?

I need to get some new, active followers. I have a lot of Flickr, but a lot of them are dead accounts.

Anyway, I have 6 days to do another blog so lemme get on with it so I can enjoy my weekend without stupid deadlines.

Keep reading below to get details:

Saturday Stroll

Whew, I let my guard down and started to care about a MF on this platform. 

I'm really glad she fucked up enough times that it kept me at a distance and that she showed she is heartless as hell before I let the fortress fall completely to the ground and expose more of myself to her.

I'll never understand how people can be light night and day. Too many of y'all though. 

Stay y'all ass over there and let me just do what I'm here to do: Blog and make shitty brows.

No friends or relationships needed, gracias.

✌🏽

Be Flamazing!

I wish I could get feed back as to whether anyone bothers reading my idle rambling on here or whether I should just shut the hell up and list credits?

Well, before I STFU, I wanna acknowledge that the day of creating this blog is the 4 year anniversary of Chester Bennington passing and I've listened to nothing but Linkin Park today.

I dedicate this blog and much more to the talented and amazing Chester <3 

Keep Kool

Boom, did two blogs today!

If I can do two more tomorrow, then I will make some people happy and be able to take a little breather.

Also, I have a vendor for some dollarbie lashes I'll be selling soon, so keep an eye out for that as well.

Okay well, without further ado ... the details below!

Ma Ka Rohn

I named this blog after the most terribly ran Macaron company I've ever encountered. 

They don't care about their customers, no matter how much $ you spend!

Anyway, I'm getting suspended for not requesting deadline extensions and not blogging.

Omgggg I hate when I fall so far behind, so no wasting time with typing today, I gotta play catch up!

Keep reading to get details for today's look:

Eat Mor Chikin

My goodness, I had a wonderful two week break from blogging. 

I didn't even wanna come back but deadlines are calling.

Also, I did my nails during my hiatus and it's a bitch to type so ... I'll just save myself the frustration and list the details.

Keep reading below!

Mud Stompin'

OMG, I haven't been asleep. 

I laid in bed all night and all morning and never fell asleep. 

Is this insomnia? 

Well, I had better take this opportunity to knock out these last two blogs for a couple of weeks and then yessss, creating some new eyebrows.

If you wonder why I make so many, it's because each one is an attempt to better myself. 

I end up liking them and selling them *Kanye shrug*

Okay well, time to get dressed for my next blog.

Toodles!!

Life is Golden

Three blogs in one week! Wow, I'm impressed with myself.

I'll try to get one more in today since I'll be in the office tomorrow, then my other job Thursday and then the office again on Friday.

Then, I don't blog weekends. Then Monday, office. Tues - Thursday, training for getting certified in the actual job I was hired to do.

So, yeah, who knows when I'll be able to blog next so I'm trying to hit all my obligations before I dip out for work.

I hate that life has resumed to normal for me, lame balls.

Anyway, don't mind my whining, but *do* click below to keep reading the details for today's look:

Some Kind of Casual Thing

I really need to grow a set of cajones and learn how to tell people no.

I'm in over my blogging head, and every time I see an out, I see the light, someone solicits me to blog their stuff.

I mean, I should take is a compliment and I do ... but  ... like ... people don't consider that if I wanted to blog their items, I would apply to do it?

If I wanted to blog for you, I would apply. So if I haven't applied ... that should tell you something!!

So ... I am gonna put on FB, SL and my blog not to solicit me anymore because this is just too much and I am way too nice to say no.

Anyway, enough complaining about people liking my work, right?

On with the details :) :

Mocha Chocolata Ya Ya

I just got out of Facebook Jail on my SL account.

Well, wait ... since I log into all of my accounts with the same device, all of my Facebook accounts were disabled! 

It was horrible. There was so much drama I couldn't comment on and I had my own bit of an issue on Flickr with a complete psycho named Trica Hendes (on Flickr) ... she rejected my photo, stating it was a collage?

Does this idiot not know what a collage is?? So I tried to educate her on what a collage actually is and she caught an attitude, so of course I caught one back and left the group and ended up blocking her.

So she searched for me in SL and sent me an instant message being extremely psycho again ... like, stalk much?

So I had to block her from Second Life, too.

Like, calm down, sis. Learn how to handle when you're wrong and move on LOL.

Anyway, I'll post her harassing message in the end of this blog, so go ahead click, read the details and read her obsessed, miserable IM at the bottom.

Summer Blues

I'm proud to say I did two blogs today, yes sir, I did.

I'm even gonna prepare for tomorrow's blog. 

I have hopefully one or two more to do and then I can remake those Chioma BOM Eyebrows for LeL Evo since I've had some requests!

Well, I have a crap ton of work, so I'll get to it and let you click below to get the deets:

LGBTQ Ally 4 Life

We've reached the end of Pride Month and this month means a lot to me, since my bestfriend and love forever is a member of the community - along with many others. 

So I got to dabble in some colorful gear to show my support for the community and the month.

It's also a good month because it's my besties birthday so I wish you a happy birthday, Caniel! 

All right, click below to get the details of today's look!

Summer Vibes

 

I have less than 24 hours to do my next blog, so I better get to work.

Oh, and I haven't started on my custom brows either, that someone asked me for.

Lord. I am such a procrastinator.

NO MORE CUSTOMS!

Okay, well I really need to get going so I can do other stuff.

You know what to do! 

(click below)

Neko Power

I have a killer headache and I have to work on some custom eyebrows ...

So I'm gonna take a quick nap and get to work when I wake up ... if I have time ... I have to go to the stupid gym too, yuck.

So yeah, this one will be short today. Go ahead and keep reading to get the look of the day :)

Cat Mama

So, I'm officially back from Puerto Rico.

I had a nice time, beautiful island AWAY from the tourist areas.

My room was in Old San Juan and was built in like, the 1600s and was antique and gorgeous!

I got to explore a whole lot of the island, the beaches and of course, the food *chef's kiss*

I've returned to work to discover I will only be back at work TWO days a week so that's excellent news to me.

I'll try to get whatever overtime and shift trades I can get on those days. 

So yeah, I don't really have any major complaints for a change.

I just need to catch up on these custom brows someone requested and blogging. 

Shouldn't be too hard, if I can just stop being lazy!

Anyway, here's today's blog. Read below to get the details!!

Lavender Summer

Golly, I am mad!

I used PicMonkey to round out the edges in pics, and add a drop shadow, easy peasy.

Then they changed the whole layout, tools and features in PicMonkey and got rid of the drop shadow, which sucks 'cause I used that for my Sales Vendors.

So I learned how to drop shadow half assed in PS.

Now, I just checked and they eliminated the ability to round colors inside of PicMonkey, too!

I have no idea how to do that in PS or any other programs I use (GIMP, Corel, Pixlr) ... so I guess all my photos will have hard angled edges now until I figure something out.

But I was QUICK to cancel that yearly subscription with PicMonkey. How y'all take ALL the features away that I use but still charge the same price? 

Nah, bye Felicia.

Well, I have to go pack for my trip to Puerto Ricooooooo, so I gotta scoot!

Take a look at the list below to see what I'm wearing today :) :)

.Soju.

I keep getting invites to blogging teams and accepting items dropped on me by people who aren't official sponsors ... all because I can't say no and I'm a people please *cries in blogger tears* ...

So I'm blogging some non official gear today ... at least when I go back to work full time, it'll be easier to say yes. 

At this point, I am blogging into NEXT month which will help a lot when I'm unable to meet my deadlines as easily next month.

Anyhoo, check out the items listed below to see what I'm wearing today:

.Zumba.

I'm doing maybe one of last blogs as a work-from-home person so I'm trying to get ahead for even next month because of my new and upcoming schedule that will consume all of my waking time.

I'll miss blogging for some of the people I do but RL has reared its stupid head LOL.

Well, I won't blab too long, I wanna get started on another blog. 

So click below to read the list of details for the items worn :)  ❤️

Rich Bishes

Well, it's official 😭😢

I got the bad news that I would be returning full time to work as soon as next week.

So I'll be cutting back on sponsors, particularly the 15 day ones ... that 15 days creeps up on me WAY too fast.

It was nice blogging for you all while I could, thanks for the opportunity ... but RL calls.

I'll be job hunting soon, which always sucks but I believe that I wasn't involuntarily brought into this world to hate what I do professionally.

I hate change ... I hate not being comfortable, it brings lots of anxiety, but I deserve to be happy.

Well, I have some errands to run, so I gotta go. Thanks for all the support everyone :(

Click below to get the details:

Red Light Special

So, for the first time in over a year ... actually, lets say several years, I finally did some exercise.

Sitting around during Covid, working from home really did a number on me and I just feel gross both mentally and physically.

So after I post this, I'm gonna go hit the treadmill, just for 30 or so minutes, nothing heavy or hardcore, since I'm just easing back into it and hopefully I can drop a little weight and feel better about myself AND just feel better over all.

So, I'm trying my hardest to finish this blog so I can go burn some calories and be active!

So yeah, go ahead and check out the list of items worn below and thanks for viewing!!

Chinese Haus

I have the worst crick in my neck and I am exhausted.

I started taking my adderall again and it keeps me awake all day and night so I haven't had adequate sleep in the last couple of days.

So as sooooon as I post this, I'm hitting the day and closing my bedroom door to drown out the annoying dog who has been non-stop barking all day.

I'm *this close* to leaving a very nasty letter on my neighbor's door about the loud, mind shattering and incessant barking from their mutt.

I'll stop there before I say something out of anger that I'll later regret.

Why don't we just review the list of items below to see what's worn in today's blog instead??

Pastel

Wow, it's raining really badly, and I lost power.

I have a backup battery for my PC and I'm using my cell phone hot spot to post this.

(dedication)

So I gotta keep it short.

Read the details below to get the list of items worn!

Thanks!

No Loitering

    I know black is out of season, but I was low key missing it, so here ya go!

Take this out of season colors and like it!!!

I hate the month is halfway over and I still have like ... so many blog posts to do ... I keep leaving sponsors who have heavy work loads.

But then applying for other groups I've been wanting to be apart of. I'ma fool!

Anyway, enough of me explaining why I'm a horrible blogger. Let's get to the details, shall we?

Wings n Things

 *gasp* I'm blogging on a Sunday! I never blog on the weekends! 

But since weekends off are coming to close, I guess I'm trying to make the best of it and use my time to do other things besides just sleep.

Plus I was excited about this gorgeous skin I was able to blog.

You'll find the details below!!

.Peep.

Okay, so ... I was on the fence about leaving a particular sponsor but they made it a little easier to part ways by rejecting my post in Blogtex.

It was a re-blogged item, meaning it was previously released but I didn't really care for the items that were currently on Blogotex and I had to fulfill my obligations.

I checked the rules to make sure there weren't any specific rules about reblogging old items and there were not. 

Yet my post was rejected, first without a reason. So I resubmitted.

Then it was rejected again and the comment was I couldn't submit old items. 

Which isn't in their rules. But to fulfill my obligations, I pulled another item and come tof ind out, it's Maitreya only. 

I don't do Maitreya only, so yeah ... time to leave, which is good, I'm reducing my sponsor list and they made it an easy decision to part ways with them. 

So I'll put in Maitreya for this item, blog it, and delete the item, submit the post and leave.

Easy!

.Tropicana.

Man I had something really interesting I wanted to talk about today but now as I sit here, blog image complete, I cannot remember what the heck it was I wanted to write about LOL  

Oh well, not that but 2 people read this anyway, so ... when ever I remember, I'll write it. 

The other 98% of y'all will be happy just to click below to get the details of the items worn in the image. 

Well go ahead ... click below!

.Phatties.

LOL @ yesterday when some heaux who isn't even on my friend's list and hasn't been for years tried to call me out, single me out, on a post but I shut her clown looking self down and reminded her she doesn't know me, nor does she know what I'm up to, unless she's typing my name in the search and scrolling thru my posts, like a stalker ... I wouldn't put it past her. 

She tried to call me a bully when I actually complimented a girl and there were people on the same post, shaming the girl and outright insulting her ... but I'm the bully? 

Girl have seat somewhere with the other bitter heaux who can't eff with me, cause I ain't the one.

It was nice to have others defending me on the same post 'cause it made her look even more stupid ... like, let it go girl, quit harboring bad feelings about me cause I promise you, I haven't thought of your ass in years. 

Ahhh, anyway, enough talking smack LOL. 

Time to list the details in the photo. 

You can read them by clicking below:

Pocket Fulla Miracles

I'm supposed to be working but since I haven't posted a blog in 5 days, I took an hour or two to blog this outfit that I've been had ready for like an entire week.

Hey, PS4 and HBO Max have been keeping me busy, whadda want from me!?

LOL anyway, go ahead and read below to get the details.

I have to get back to work!

Sleep Over

I know I said I was taking a blogging break ... and I kind of have ... 

I blog much less and left a handful of groups, though not nearly as many as I should. 

But I am having a decent balance right now, at least until it's time for me to return back to stupid work.

So I'm pretty pleased at the moment :-)

Anyway, I have a cod sammich calling my name so I'm gonna wrap this up ASAP.

Check out the details below while I go stuff my face!

.Lavender.

All right, I am caught up for the next 10 days!

So that's reading, gaming, watching Grey's Anatomy ... I'm all caught up for now!

I've still been leaving groups slowly but right now, blogging is more manageable. 

I posted on FB that I wanted more sponsors to add demos to Blogotex so I can test out an item to see if it works with the outfit I'm trying to make and some people agreed and some didn't.

It was an interesting post but some people were doing the most ... but that tends to happen on SLFB.

Okay, I have a deadline for work, so I need to shut up and focus on that ...

Keep reading to get the details below :)

Good Vibes

It's nap time so I'm just going to list all the goodies shown below and take a nap and maybe read.

Since I've put blogging on the back burner, I've finished reading 4 books and I'm currently on my 5th. 

I have missed reading so this is great news for me.

K, well, check out the details below: 

Stray Kids

Yeah ...

I feel like a teenager again and not like a 36 year old ...

I came across a K-POP (of all things) band and ... how are all the guys in that band so gorgeous??

I never was really attracted to Asian men, I just hadn't seen man that caught my eye.

So how are ALL 1,782 band members of this band I like Stray Kids *all* fine?

So ALL 1,782 of them dudes sing well *AND* they're fine as fuk?

Impossible. Either their make up is impeccable or someone is ghost singing and they're lip-syncing.

I'll try to post a video and let you see this stuff for yourself. 

Anyway, I am trying to work here and keep watching videos so this blog is taking forever.

Lemme post this and go be mesmerized some more lol ... laterrrr!!

The Urge

So my very close friend helped me get my old PC chair from storage from years ago that I'm glad I never tossed out.

The great thing about this chair is that it sits reallllllly low.

I'd been using a chair from my office at work that sits REALLY high and so my wrists were at a painful angle for hours a day so it was causing severe hand pain.

Also, I ordered a mouse pad with wrist padding to further keep my hands at a level angle and boy, I did this whole blog without any pain!

So I'm super glad and I feel like it shows, I put more effort into this blog than I have my previous ones, because I wasn't rushed or half assing it because of the hand pain.

This is good!!

So I caught the urge to do a blog :)

I'll try to do one more before the weekend.

Welp, keep reading below to get the deets!

Pause for Blogging

 ... welp. I'm done for a while ...

I took 2 weeks off from blogging and it literally was not enough.

The thought of coming back to do this blog was unbearable and I waited until I had 10 hours left on a deadline before forcing myself to log in and do this blog.

So I am going on break ... I will do a few blogs here and there for the sponsors I keep who have me VIP or inworld groups but for the most part, I hope to take maybe 3 or so months off.

I might still come online to create shapes or eyebrows or what not, but those at least give me something in return.

Anyway, thank you everyone who likes my work and has supported me ... I'm not leaving, just taking a pause.  

Welp, enjoy my last blog for awhile:

Black Gurl Magik

Sooo, I am learning that people are actually reading the words I write in my blog ... sooo, I am going to be more careful about what I write here. 

I've learned the hard way about divulging too much on social media platforms and yet, I still chose to disclose ideas and opinions here that I should have kept to myself, so ... lesson learned, for the 100th time.

One day, I'll figure it out ...

OK, check out the details below to get info about today's look:

Picture Perfect

I've been trying to clean up my reputation for about a year now.

I know I used to be an asshole. I was hurt and angry and I wanted everyone to feel my wrath.

I couldn't take it out on the person I wanted to, so the timeline suffered.

It left me with a lot of blocks and bans and entries into SL Secrets.

But I became drained from the drama and the hate I received in return so I decided to clean up my act and my reputation. 

Like I said, it's been about a year and things are going a lot better, but it looks like I still have a bad presence/rep with some people.

Well, if they want to cling to the old and angry version of me, eff 'em, I don't need them in my SLife and I certainly am not cleaning my image up for *them* so honestly, kick rocks to the people who like to live in the past and refuse to see the effort I've made to become a better person.

Anyway, for those who have recognized my efforts, I appreciate you immensely!

Well, enough ranting for me, keep reading below to get the details:

Crystal Vision

I'm blogging while I can.

When I return to work, I won't be able to blog nearly as often.

But the only good thing about returning to work is getting some structure back in my life.

Working from home ... I feel lost and out of control.

Anyway, check out the list of the lovely items I'm wearing below!!

Flower Girl

For the last couple years, I've really listened to nothing except hard rock, djent, metal ... anything angry and anti-christ because I guess I've been in pain.

My ex, I wanted to be so like him and he liked alternative and heavy metal and stuff and I was so influenced by him. 

So these past years, I've rejected anything that I felt he wouldn't approve of and anything that didn't describe my hurt and anger I carry everyday because of my relationship with him.

I just related more to angry music but I am going to try to expand my musical preferences back to their broadness again and not reject everything else.

I think it's one way I can heal from this, I mean, it's been 4 years already ...

So, I recently discovered Doja Cat and I like the sound of her music and her dynamic. 

She's hella slept on. I'm gonna listen to her discography this week and see what she's working with.

Well, while I do that, why don't *you* check out the gear I have on by clicking below:

Cheetah Girls

I have to go mail some crap and get a package from the mailbox so I won't be able to spend time droning on and on - today's your lucky day, LOL.

Check out the details below if you like the look:

We're #1

 I was supposed to have the day off to do whatever I wanted and I logged in and discovered I had 13 hours to submit two effing blogs, so here's your blog.

I swear this is a chore now and I get zero pleasure from it anymore.

(this rant is NOT for the stores who are flexible or offer less stringent quotas and deadlines)

.faerie.

Okay I ain't blogging SHIT else for a few days.

I wanna focus on making creations before I forget the stuff I've learned over the last few months of creating.

I've given enough time to my sponsors for now, time to give myself back my time and make it profitable. 

I swear, I'm leaving these 3 group-a-month groups, y'all are killing me. 

Then most people don't even add the name of the event that the object you're selling is at.

So not only did I spent 4 hours of my time photographing and marketing the item for free, now I gotta research the designer's Flickr to find out where the item is and then go get the SLURL.

Whew! 

So yeah, I'm off to bed and tomorrow I'm practicing creating stuff. 

NO MORE BLOGGING FOR A WEEK!

.love.

So I've decided I'm going to leave the majority of the blog groups that require 3+ posts a month.

Those are the ones who are kicking my ass and usurping all of my time and other exposure for other brands.

I feel like it's a little selfish to require 3 or more posts a month from a blogger who has other commitments so that's who I'll be leaving. 

Well, I'm working so I'm gonna get back to that and work on my thousandth blog this week a little later ...

Read below to get the details for today's post:
