Love and Compassion

Sander Sunborne 1 Comment

There are many different kinds of power. True power comes from serving and helping others. Such behavior makes people respect you. They are willing to listen to your views and advice, and they support you. The energy of many people is thus channeled through one person. This kind of power is positive and authentic.

The Cocker Spaniel is a new release from JIAN Pets for The Fifty event. These animesh pets are adorable as heck and they come in companion, held and wanderer versions. Lots of coat options in the HUD as well as the usual controls for the wanderer.

There are new ready to wear outfits available in the Hoorenbeek mainstore. I’m wearing the casual Guy outfit when I’m outside playing with the puppers.

I believe in style, not fashion.

This must be pixel heaven! I want to thank Dutchie with all my heart for creating not just a men’s closet but the Men’s Closet. It’s a complete walk-in closet for the gentlemen that are more into style than fashion as this baby comes packed with beautiful hand made clothing essentials that never go out of style.

Included are 10 different closets, 9 button-down shirts, 4 suits, 17 t-shirts, 8 sweaters, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 linen pants, and 4 sweatpants, as well as 12 pairs of shoes, storing boxes, suitcases, and more. There are extra boxes in this package with all the clothes and shoes separately for more decorative options. You can read more about it in Dutchie’s blog.

The versatile pouffe is by Krescendo for this round of The Epiphany. It comes in PG/Adult versions and an open decor only version. Texture change HUD contains all your favourite Krescendo textures and 6 different books so you can mix & match.

And when you have your classic walk-in closet, why not head on over to Hoorenbeek and make the image complete. They offer a multitude of outfits for the classic man and help you to NEVER go out of style. On Second Life at least.

I’m working my way towards a break from home & garden blogging with this and one more post containing furniture and decor. There will be a change in my blogging going forward as I’ll be focusing mostly on avatar related creations like fashion and accessories. It takes a lot of time for me to set up a decor scene and then blogging it and right now I don’t have that amount of time available. So after my next post there will be no more pure h&g posts on here until time hopefully again allows me to do them again.

Ready to wear as you open the box, the NG Outfits by Hoorenbeek make it so easy for you to look good without having to spend an entire hour matching colors via HUDs. Just unpack and wear! The Farrell outfit is compatible with Jake (shown on me), Legacy, Gianni and Geralt male mesh bodies.

Never Totally Dead… has the beautiful Cheminee Provencale (it’s the fireplace) out at this round of Cosmopolitan. In the set you’ll find decorative jars and vases as well as fireplace tools.
Never Totally Dead… also has a new release at their mainstore, if you like the vintage sconces on the wall behind me, the Applique Flore are available with bulbs and candles and silver and gold fixtures.

The delicious Champagne is of course made by No. 59 and can be found in the No. 59 mainstore. The set consists of bucket, bucket stand, tray and bottle. All dispense a glass of bubbly to you and your guests!

Let’s Celebrate

Sander Sunborne Leave a comment

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is one of very few television personalities that I actually admire. She started with nothing and worked her way to the Forbes list by inspiring and empowering people. She speaks up, she speaks wisely and she uses her power to do good. I wish we all could be a bit more like Oprah.

I’m celebrating Advent and life in general over at this amazing round of Cosmopolitan. This round contains an abundance of great offers and I want to try to showcase them all as best as I can. I’m having a celebration in the town square, with Orange Eggnog Mousse from ChicChica, Xmas Candy Balloons from BAD IDEAS, the Golden Xmas Too set from Kaerri, the beautiful Christmas Tree 2021 from Palavia and the very glam Mai Glasses from BONDI. Which by the way go extremely well with the Hoorenbeek Elvis outfit.

Traditions

Sander Sunborne Leave a comment

Some traditions are closer to my heart than others. As a child it’s easy to see magic in everything and especially Christmas and with a little help from loving grown-ups this magic can become real. I believed that Santa came to our house every year after midnight on the 24th of December with our Christmas tree; he decorated it and put all the presents underneath then he hung our Christmas stockings filled with candy on our bedroom doors. Sometimes if I was awake that late I could hear Santa stomping up the steps (yes the steps, he didn’t come down our chimney lol), carrying the tree, I imagined. But since I was bit shy I closed my eyes and hid under the blanket. My sister easily slept through the whole thing every time. I think my parents and my dad in particular had a lot of fun creating this memory for us even if it meant staying up very late.
