Feeling 17

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Taylor may have felt twenty-two, but today I am channeling my inner seventeen year old. I say that because when I saw this outfit at Kustom9 a couple months (I think) ago it reminded me of my youngest child in the non-digital world. Their haircut may not be the same, but it is dyed the same. And they are forever wearing boots of some style, but you don’t want to know about my child’s wardrobe.

Well that was interesting. As I was writing this post my mouse decided to roll over and die. Sometimes life just doesn’t want me to be productive I swear. I think I am going to just get to the credits before something else decides it wants to get in on the fun!

Always a Good Time…

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

For cookies! At least to me it’s always a good time for cookies. I mean there are such things as breakfast cookies so that means they are good anytime of day. Generally I don’t do milk with my cookies, unless it’s an Oreo and I am in the mood for dunking.

On cold days in the winter I love to bake because it warms up the house, makes it smell good and leaves me with something delicious to eat. In fact it was cold in my non-digital life yesterday so I baked some brownies. I may have even had one as a midnight snack, but don’t let cookies know I cheated on them! That is enough rambling from me. I will be back with a blogging vengeance (no for real!) as soon as I am house guest free.

Cold Outside

Christmas may be over, but that doesn’t mean that winter is over, not even close (well at least here in the northern hemisphere). In fact it’s freezing cold here in the south, literally. Luckily where I live we don’t get snow or else no one would know what to do!

Warm blankets, a roaring fire (that is not what I am called when mad, I swear) and some battery powered lights can create a cozy little feeling when the snow is falling and the power is out. If one has to get snowed in in a remote cabin being stuck there with someone you love can make it at least a little more fun.

While it may look like we are headless, I assure you we are just bundled up nice and warm. I mean maybe later things will look a little different when we explore other ways to stay warm, but for now blankets and a warm fire will have to suffice.

Cluelessly Walking Into The New Year

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

I feel like the new year has sprung up from behind a bush and caught me off guard. There has been a lot of ups and downs in 2021 so here is hoping 2022 is a little less…just less.

And if 2022 doesn’t want to play nice, then may your coffee be strong and if life decides to f#$% with you, I hope it uses plenty of lube.

Decking the Halls

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

In the non-digital part of my life my house has been decked out for Christmas since a little before Thanksgiving. That may seem early to some, but after the craziness of the last two years I will do almost anything to make the days cheerful. I don’t have a perfect looking tree like this one, not even close! It’s actually covered with random ornaments collected over the years, each one representing something I love or something that happened. This year the ornament I bought shows that everyone in the house is vaccinated, compared to last years where everyone is wearing a mask. Now you know a little more about how I celebrate Christmas.

The plan had been to post my female Beetlejuice look on or before Halloween, but you know what they say about plans and all that. I admit I spent a good portion of October binge watching all my favorite spooky and silly Halloween movies.

Generally I am not a green hair kind of gal, but when juicing one much go green. Oooh maybe I will go green to Grinch for Christmas…

Beachside Stroll

Summer is slowly coming to an end, at least in the sense that it is, or almost is, back to school time for a lot of people. I like many other bloggers and photographers have taken these sandal/flower combo to the beaches in SL because it seems fitting. I won’t bog you down with lots of words today, so here in another picture followed by credits!

Donut Make Me Laugh

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

I love a good challenge, so when I read that the Blogger Vlogger Network was going to be doing weekly challenges I was ready to go. Besides a week gives me enough time to get stuff done. Here I am posting last minute on the first challenge, “Donuts”. I wish I had done some research in my non-digital life for this post, and by that I just mean I really want a donut! Tomorrow the next challenge will be announced, wonder what it will be. I guess you just have to wait and see!

Is This A Dream?

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment
Are you for real?

I am still playing a little catch up from last month. I of course had to make a trip to Enchantment in May because the theme was A Midsummer Night’s Dream. When I was in high school I worked backstage when the play was performed. I was part of the costume crew so it holds a special place in my heart. I think I even had a crush on “Oberon”, but it was forever ago. Anyway I picked up this outfit and found this pose lurking in my inventory so it was a match made in…the forest?

So Delicate

This gave me the chance to use a windlight that was shared with me back in April or May as well. The colors matched my outfit so perfectly. I am going to move onto the credits before I ramble more about my slacker ways.

Easter Leftovers

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

The morning after most holidays means leftovers around here. I learned from my mother that pie is a perfectly acceptable breakfast, she is partial to apple pie. Personally I think I will stick to my fruit and coffee. Especially the coffee! I have so much I need and want to get done that I think an IV drip of caffeine wouldn’t go amiss. It’s April which means the Fantasy Faire is right around the corner, my favorite even of the year. So be prepared for some fantastical creatures and looks coming soon.
