Hillside

The DaD HILLSIDE HOUSE is a modern home with two levels.
The first level is split leaving an open outdoor area that would be ideal for an outdoor dining area or even seating space for casual relaxation.
The room on the left side could be used for a kitchen/family room with the room on the right side as a living room. The choice in how to use each room is really up to you.
The wide staircase accessed from the outside leads to the second floor level where you will find three rooms. The smaller of the three can be used as a second bedroom with the middle space earmarked for the bathroom and the larger room as the master bedroom.
High windows surround the home and open floor space on the outside that welcomes more seating areas to catch the spectacular views. More pictures below the credits.

The Hillside House has a footprint of 28.5×21,5 (resizable) and Land Impact is 68. 100% Original Mesh, Materials enabled, Copy/Modify (scripts are no modify). No Transfer.

The Little Branch‘s newest release are the Juniper Trees V.1 and V.2. The Juniper Tree is a gorgeous evergreen with soft needles instead of leaves. The needles are rather short and grow in clusters close to the branches. The Juniper tree is believed to possess the ability to cleanse and make us pure and true to ourselves. The branches and berries have been used for medicinal and spiritual purposes since ancient times.

Reach Higher

Apart from physical training and fitness goals I’ve never been good at setting goals, in life or career, but then I’ve almost always been happy and content with where I’ve been in life. Today I find myself wanting to be somewhere else, in more ways than one. I also find myself setting goals. Huh! I guess I just needed a good reason.

Treized Designs is at Men Only Monthly with the new ‘Horizon Pants’. Sports pants with a cool design and a multitude of texture customization options. The pants are fitted for Belleza, Legacy and Signature Gianni bodies.

I’m also showing the back of the Hori Male TaTToo by CAROL G, previously blogged in this blog post.

Magical Evenings

Love is not about how many days, months, or years you have been together. Love is about how much you love each other every single day.

Unknown

No matter how long you’ve been together, it’s important to remember to keep your relationship a priority. Celebrate the special days. Keep going on dates. Try something new together. Never take each other for granted. Remember why you fell in love. Respect each other. Be spontaneous. Compromise. End an argument as soon as possible. Say “I love you.”
Grow old together.

For this particular date with Mahogany I’m wearing the Franks Suit which is a new mainstore release by Allure Couture. Franks Suit is a complete outfit which comes in 6 separate color/texture choices or as a 12 option Fatpack. The suit is fitted for Classic, Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni and Slink Male bodies. The shoes fit Classic, Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni and Slink Male feet. For more pictures and info about the Felicia Dress, see Mahogany’s blog post, The Way.

Red Lips & Wine Sips

The sun is back again after hiding below the horizon for over a month and the days inside the Arctic Circle are getting brighter. I cheated and got to feel the sun again earlier when I visited M, it was so nice.

For the tasting room, bodega or bar, you can now have the Bodega Barrel Bar by Aphrodite. A beautiful decor piece, with animations included (PG/Adult). It’s available right now at the Man Cave event.

I decorated our own tasting room witht the Barrel Bar, together with the Lara Table and Chairs from Refuge. The chairs come in 5 different colours.
The clock and the frames are from Tuesdays. You can choose light or dark face for the clock and it shows the time, day, month or season, even. Touch it to get a menu. The frames match the clock and you can display your own pictures by editing the frames, choose edit linked and select face to change the texture inside the frame.

On Island Time

As the winds are blowing strong and cold and the temperature has crept down to 25F, I dream of a more comfortable lifestyle in a tropical environment. Thank you, my love, for sharing this dream with me and for giving this picture that something extra I needed.

The Hori Male Tattoo by CAROL G is an amazing looking horimono full-body tattoo. It comes with choice of 4 intensities and is available in colour and/or black version with appliers for Belleza, Legacy, Slink, Signature, Omega and BoM. The Hori Male Tattoo is at this round of Men Only Monthly!

Flâneur

The French have the perfect word for it: ‘Flâneur’. It means to stroll around aimlessly but enjoyably, observing life and your surroundings. Baudelaire defined a flaneur as ‘a person who walks the city in order to experience it’.
