This picture got me thinking about making daisy chains as a child. I'm kinda old (shh.) so it wasn't unusual to find me in my back garden, sitting cross legged threading daisies from the grass through one another to make long flowery jewelry to adorn my head, neck and wrist, and occasionally my ankle.
That lead me to wonder how to correlate daisies to people... and as I was doing my washing up (ew!) it hit me. When I made the chains in my back garden, some of the daisies would droop while others would thrive. After a few days, I'd replace the droopy, limp flowers with fresh new ones, slotting them in to my creation without even thinking about it. Some times, I would make holes in the stems of the flower using my thumb nail and others, the daisy would be tied tight with a knot.
That is how they relate to people. Our relationships are bound by the slightest thread... the stem of our daisy. Some relationships get tied tightly with the strength of a knot, and other times, we open ourselves up to fit the needs of another. At times, our relationships wilt and we replace old friends with newer, fresher friends that fit our growth pattern.
I guess the only thing that is important in this is reminding ourselves what we want our garden to look like. Which flowers we want to pair with ours that bring the fragrance out as a beautiful medley and enhance our beauty by bringing their own special needs in to our soil. It's also important to weed regularly, because heaven knows how easy it is for someone to suck the nutrients from your roots...
Happy Tuesday, Spoonies.

The revoul skin show comes in 5 tones. My favourite being RE20, shown in my main pictures.
As soon as I saw this tattoo by Dappa, I knew what I had to do... get totally naked and smear myself in honey, of course!
I love how this came out. I know it's only January, but the joy of SL is that it can be spring whenever you like, and so that's what I'm celebrating in this picture - doing whatever the fudge I want! I'm also only slightly snickering over the fact there's an actual honeypot covering my, uh, honeypot!
-commences belly holding guffaws-.
It's now 7am and for whatever reason I'm still wide awake and utterly avoiding going to the corner shop because I'm out of butter, the same way I have been avoiding it for the last two days. Do you even know how many food things need butter to make them work? I was like "Oh, just have a potato, Pickle." and then I remember it's rubbish if there's not a lick of butter on yer jacket tattie!
Anywho, fingers crossed I'll be able to brave the outside today without a house falling on me and loosing my favourite pair of ruby red slippers (I think I might be slightly sleep deprived again), and I'll return with Clover and NikNaks of the Rib and Spicy variety. I'm also hungry.
Let me preface by shouting from the rooftops about how much I love Moss&Mink. This has been a love-affair since her very first release that I saw at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival almost two years ago. It was a delicious pair of fawn legs, along with a matching gacha of cute little accessories. When I bumped into the creator I literally squealed at her, exclaiming how amazing I thought her items were, and I left having added her to my friends list, but internally facepalming because I'm often super awkward, and wasn't entirely sure if she just thought I was some crazy lady. Turns out, she DOES think I'm a crazy lady, and I'm okay with that, because technically she's not wrong. However, she's not just an awesome creator, she's a fabulous friend, too. She's constantly improving on the items she's creating, seriously, all you have to do is take a look at her items and note the effort she puts in to incorporate as many tastes as she can, while staying true to her cute little brand. It has been absolutely delightful to grow with her (maybe not to the same extent as she's growing, this woman is seriously talented, and I'm almost 100% certain she's going to virtually bitch slap me for this post, but I don't care).
The items at Moss&Mink always push me a little, in a GOOD way. Part of the reason I enjoy blogging so much is because of creators like this, who make me think a little differently and push me out of my comfort zone sometimes. The creations always have the cutest little details and I'm never certain how it's best to incorporate all of the things and showcase them. so today I'm writing an essay of epic proportions to combat that I suppose! I've included a photo of just the set-up I made without my av being a photo-whore and stealing any of the spotlight (although this Evani set IS to die for, and the jeans, which are fast becoming my favourite brand of jeans, are amazingly fitted and both the sweater and the pants are beautifully textured.) and hopefully you'll be able to see the sparkles, the bubbles, the textures involved and lovingly caressed across the low-prim (and low price) mesh, the sparkles on the trellis actually sparkle (in the right windlight) and the sparkles on the wooden floor by the hot-tub actually sparkle too. There's also some cute bubbles in the jacuzzi-hot-tub thingie, and over-all I just want to squee over the cuteness and drape my avatar across all the things in an attempt at being just as adorable as these cute THINGS!
Skin : Glam Affair - Milu - Catwa Head Applier - Good Girl ( Polar ) For 50L Friday (Note : The polar tone is NOT in your Maitreya hud. You need to purchase the body applier separately - but it does come with this cute freckles version, too! \o/)
I fear this is becoming a habit! I wanted to show the particles a little clearer, but the photograph doesn't do them justice. They're so delicate and adorable, with a sweet mix of garden-type bugs and petals and leaves. Absolutely stunning close up and well worth a peek ♥
