Santa Girl

Quick explanation into why I don't blog much any more.
Around 18 months ago I inexplicably went into chronic Atrial Fibrillation. Lots of tests later, it was found that my lungs weren't doing so well after lifelong asthma, and many serious bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia. I was put on a bunch of medications which then caused me to get medically induced diabetes a few months later. Fast forward another few months and I got sick with very severe Bronchial Pneumonia which saw me hospitalised for over a month. The damage to my already badly damaged lungs was serious. So serious it has me now in Asthma/Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (ACOS), which in turn has exacerbated my heart and also put me into Congestive Cardiac Failure (CCF).  The combination of these two and the Diabetes has left me in extremely poor health, with frequent hospital admissions.

 I'm not a particularly Christmassy type girl but there has been a few Christmas things that have caught my eye so far this year. One of them being this very cute Santa Girl outfit that is a gacha at The Chapter Four this round. There is six colours, two of which are rares, and only for Maitreya bodies.

The Forest

Well after much unnecessary drama I finally got my computer back and working again. That it has taken over 3 months to get it 100% working, while it was still under warranty is beyond ridiculous. But we won't go there...
What I came to tell you about is a fabulous new monthly event called The Forest. It costs 1000L to join the group each month. But you are promised between 17-26 Designers every month. And if it is anything like July, that is an incredible bargain if you would wear/use most of the items. The other good thing is you can get to see what it is you will be getting before committing that 1000L. Personally I was thrilled with this month's offering with 2 full fatpacks of Appliers for Catwa heads, and the stunningly beautiful applier called "Gabriella" from Glam Affair that I am wearing here (also for Catwa). This applier comes in Polar tone only.

Also from The Forest is the lovely mid length slightly wavy hair called "Poca" that I am wearing by Pr!tty. This is also a full fatpack! Crowning the hair as a lovely counterpoint to the tones in my "Heather" dress made by Belle Epoque, and available at The Season's Story, is this gorgeous headdress (another fatpack) also at The Forest, and made by LODE, aptly called "Forest Beauty". Gracing my wrists are the delicate Faelyn bracelets by .random.Matter, again available at The Forest.
The decor is ionic's Stage-house, and Forest Speaker, and Nomad's Bright Headed Mannequins. Both are available at The Forest.

Finalising my look here is this very pretty lipstick from Zibska called Sing, and available at Shiny Shabby. The collar is by Cellar Door, and is called Dune. It comes in both unscripted, and Open Collar versions, and is available at We <3 Role-Play. Lastly is my fabulous sandals called Hyacinth, by Empire, and available at The Season's Story. And as always with their shoes, it is a fatpack.
