Welcome 2023!

Don't you just hate it when you think you're finally finished unpacking your inventory only to find a bunch of things you haven't even unpacked yet? Same here. *sighs* But that's okay, because it usually means more treasures to find. And I have found some awesome things lately. 

Firstly, I got a new house. My Linden house was fine, but felt restricting since you can't change it and you're pretty limited with how many prims you can have. So, I did me some searching and found the Bella Pointe Sky Domes, and rented one. There's about 7-8 different 'locations' to chose from, and four sizes. Petite which is roughly one sixth of a region for $250L per week, and the same amount of LI. 

Small which is approximately the size of a quarter of a region for $500L per week, Medium which is half a region in size for $1000L per week and Large, which is the size of a full region and is valued at $1500L per week. You're given a LI value that equals the amount of L you're paying each week, and can get more LI if needed, given in lots of 50LI for $50L per week additionally.

The domes are lovely and you can customise sky, land and rocks from a set amount of options, and turn off the trees if you wish. Apart from that, you can put whatever kind of house, garden, etc you like. 

There's more info here: Bella Pointe Sky Domes. I picked a 500 prim one in one of the forest-like locations and it's lovely. I'll show you some pics of the place in a later blog post, but I'm enjoying it. Grabbed myself a couple of houses from Trompe Loeil and after I finally settled on one, decided to completely redo the whole thing and swapped houses. Oops!

Secondly, in the process of decorating my new house, I found and fell in love with the gorgeous home deco stores Apple Fall & Fancy Decor. They have done some lovely collabs, including the chair I'm using in this photo, from the Renouveau Living Collection. Everything is low LI, and nicely priced. Both have a huge collection of group gifts and both groups are free to join, IIRC. 

As for what I'm wearing?? Well, I'll give some more details in another post, but it's a group gift from "Off-Line" from the January group gifts, called the 'Hilton' dress. I'll show off the Jan & Feb groups gifts in another post soon. The boots are the 'Soji' heels from Breathe, found in one of the weekend sales last week (maybe The Saturday Sale?). I could spend hours there too, surrounded by shoes.

In 2023 I am hoping to update this blog a lot more, so look for more updates to come.
