Wait For Me

Hi travelers!

Finally, the last post of the year is here, as I will not be here tomorrow. But, oh lord, I wanted to say a few words before I disappear for a few days to celebrate the new year in full.
I want to thank all of you lovely travelers who have stuck with me and not left me on this journey. When I first started Plump Roads, a road to be able to express myself, I never thought I'd get as much love as I have throughout the year, and the support given to me is tremendously appreciated. I've met so many amazing people on this journey, made friends, met new stores, new places, fresh locations. I've seen new things, learned new skills and techniques, found new passions, and through it all you have made me a better person for it.
Of course it doesn't mean that in 2017 I'm going to sit back and not work on improving what I've learned, learn new things and push even further, but I wanted to take a minute here to thank you. You, the travelers with me on this Road, be it a reader, an occasional visitor or one of my absolutely lovely Sponsors... I mean it when I say, I would not have been able to do it without you.

Happy 2017, everyone, I love you from the bottom of my heart.

Who Was I to You

Hi Travelers!

Kosmetik is going to be present in several events this month and each item is more amazing than the next. Today I'm sporting almost a full Kosmetik cosmetic ensemble, and if not for the skin, I could say it's all from this amazing store. Definitely worth a visit and I would like to personally thank you for having Sponsored me. Your make-up is truly always lovely and of amazing detail.

I'm also sporting these cute little socks which are fitmesh and have super cute designs. Here I'm wearing one from the Bonus HUD with cute little bees and insects.

Today I'm wearing:

End of Us

Hi Travelers!

Uber this round is filled with a variety of amazing selections that you should not miss out on. In fact it's where I got this amazing hair which I quickly fell in love with it's wild locks. Very catching indeed.

With New Years quickly approaching as well, I find myself faced with the same dilema as always... "Where to spend New Years?" and most importantly "Which New Years resolution should I aim for an not keep in 2017?". Haha

Today I'm wearing:

We had it All

Hi Travelers!

Mother Medea in a green smock
Moves humbly as any housewife through
Her ruined apartments, taking stock
Of charred shoes, the sodden upholstery:
Cheated of the pyre and the rack,
The crowd sucks her last tear and turns away.

Today I'm wearing:

Oceanic Queen

Hi Travelers!

With X-mas behind us, New Years is quickly approaching. I hope you all had amazing gifts, family time or foods or even all at the same time. I do hope it went without being sick (as is my case) and if you were, I hope it was still nice and a homey feeling.

WIthout much talking today, today I'm wearing:

Winter Wishes

Hi Travelers!

It's Xmas eve today and the festive feeling is predominant with my family and myself. Of course I've gone and caught myself a nice little winter flu which has left me bed ridden for the last few days and feeling all kinds of sorry for myself. This didn't keep me from enjoying some areas and some Xmas sentiments on SL (considering I was in bed for the most part, SL was a nice way to not be bored).

So, from me to you (and early too since I will soon be busy with Holliday feelings), Merry Xmas, enjoy the food, the gifts and the family <3

Today I'm wearing:

Harbringer of Chaos

Hi Travelers!

Yes, I've finally given in and gotten the Bento head. And I have to say, for how much I love it, it's still not as customizable as I thought it would be. It's nice to have more of the features  I wish in my face but when comparing myself with other Catwa Bento head users it still shares most of the same traits. Here's hoping for new Catwa heads soon!

The Dress I'm currently wearing will son be also gone, as it's currently part of a hunt that only goes until the 24th, so, before it disappears, go and get it!

Today I'm wearing

Count To Ten

Hi Travelers!

Have I told you how much I love you
At least a hundred times today
If I haven't let me say it now
I love you more then mere words can say
(- DenyMyLove)

Today I'm wearing:

Catch me on TV

Hi Travelers!

The snow is falling, the jingles are ringing and I am spending too much money on all these events and of course, the dreaded X-mas gifts.

Of course, with the holidays now, I'm excited for the lovely times, but I digress.

Today I'm wearing:

I Hate Flying

Hi Travelers!

I can't really explain my hatred of flying at times. There's a special kind of anxiety that only happens before a flight that really can only be attributed to flying. Now I'm not afraid of flying, I actually enjoy it when it's a decent plane, but the feeling of arriving home during these hollidays always fulfills me with a warm tingly sensation to contradict the flight shivers.

I have to admit that I've fallen in love with this quite simple, yet very "me" outfit this week, sponsored by the lovely MYNX, which also reflect my preference.

Today I'm wearing:

Hide Me From The World My Love

Hi Travelers!

It has been fairly cold lately and dark and dreary, the rain won't stop pouring and the heating needs to be on full blast. With this in mind, I can be found, more often than not, sitting with a nice cup of tea close to the window with warm blankets strewn all around me and possibly a cat on my lap.

Of course this doesn't keep me from neither shopping, nor spending time with loved ones, RL and SL, and in between Christmas business dinners, parties and Overtime, it felt good to be able to come on SL and see what all there is to offer.

Now I'm a very big supporter of gifts and free items for us Residents, so I was so happy to know that On9 is doing a gift giveaway at their location, where each store has a star which entails a gift. Worth it? Of course! Not only is it free, but it's a lot and also, well, quality galore.

Without further ado, today I'm wearing:

Leaving You Behind

Hi Travelers!

Yes, yes, Bento is out and everyones all the rage about it, but here's why I'm not going into Bento just yet: Not only is the Firestorm Viewer not yet officially Bento supportive, unless you hop onto the Beta, but I also am a bit hesitant as I'm really loving my lovely amazing static head from Catwa. Now I know that Catwa also has a Bento head, however, at the price of I think I'll skip it for a little bit, holy damn.

Today I'm wearing:

Goodbye Christmas

Hi Travelers.

With December here, christmas feels like it's right around the corner and I can't wait for the warm embrace of my family.
But to help me overcome the Christmas anxieties, if looking for a bit wintery feeling, don't miss out this round of Crossroads. I found many wonderful tidbits.
Also don't forget to check out Alice Project for the christmas Advent Calendar where I got this adorable hair from. Worth it!

Today I'm wearing:

Battling Spirit

Hi Travelers!

Today I thought I'd bring you a few quotes from my all time favorite movie which, to this day, still has to be surpassed by any other!
And while you people are busy searching for something to do, don't miss out on this round of Ultra! I know I'm late to the uptake, but you really shouldn't miss out.

And now, a quote:

Broken Mirror

Hi Travelers!

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see I swallow immediately
Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.
I am not cruel, only truthful ‚
The eye of a little god, four-cornered.
Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.
It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long
I think it is part of my heart. But it flickers.
Faces and darkness separate us over and over.

Flowers For Breakfast

Hi Travelers!

Imagine the peace you get when you’re alone.
Not just being alone but in a quiet and peaceful environ.
I’ve felt the need to be alone, to look at the stars of the sky, the beautiful white clouds, feel the soothing effect of the free air. Appreciate nature.
Being alone is not being lonely, but it is isolation with a purpose. Some people just need to be in company of themselves, for better understanding of themselves. Positive Inspiration is mostly felt when one is in solitude.
-Solace in Solitude

Today I'm wearing:

Cold Days

Hi Travellers!

It's an amazing feeling to return home after such a long time away, even though the busy levels are remaining the same. It was also lovely to see the beautiful colors of red and yellow of the ending autumn and start of winter upon arriving at my home. Of course it gave me the push to start blogging again, which I had missed so much while away.

Thanksgiving is also right around the corner, so for all of you Thanksgiving celebrators, I do hope you are looking forward to full bellies and warm hearts.

When I Waited So Long

Hi Travelers!

Finally weekend and this is a weekend I need to use. Next week I will be lost in RL for a whole while, so sadly no post during that time. But after that, I will finally be able to post regularly as before, for a whole month! My excitement knows no bounds.
Recently I've started to try and get back into the socializing aspect of SL as I had been stuck in a rut for quite some time, and as a BBW of course Gorditas is still a very welcoming area and place to go to. Although it is still seen mostly as a hook up place, I'm trying to get back into my old love of helping people out unlocking their full potential. I might have bitten off more than I can chew haha.

Today I'm wearing:

Shut Up

Hi Travelers!

Regardless of what has happened in America, the world watching and the entire action that went down, we know we always have at least one country which is ours to rule and to live as we wish.
So if you voted for either, don't fuss and come check out all the lovely events going on to relax and chill out in this world of our own, Second Life.

Today I'm wearing:

Whats For Dinner

Hi Travelers,

Ah, Alice. We can't go home again. No surprise really. Only a very few find the way, and most of them don't recognize it when they do. Delusions, too, die hard with memory. Only the savage regard the endurance of pain as the measure of worth. Forgetting pain is convenient, remembering it: agonizing. But recovering the truth is worth the suffering and our Wonderland, though damaged, is safe in memory... for now.

Fall Fairy

Hi Travelers!

And thus Halloween is officially over, but don't fret, even though the spoops are at an end, the beautiful Fall will remain with us for a while and soon enough Winter (my all time favorite season) will be here.
To celebrate this beautiful season of orange, leaves and pumpkins, I've gone and fallen in love with these adorable fall specific outfit. The dress is only available TODAY still, so don't miss out. The last few hours are counting so get it before it's gone!

Today I'm wearing

Paint me Happy

Hi Travelers!

Finally it's Sunday and although Halloween is tomorrow, this weekend I was caught enjoying the great outdoors and loving every minute of it. The colors of autumn are such an inspiration and source of calm and peace that not only did it inspire me for this picture, but also for several other arts and crafts ideas I can't wait to fulfill at a later date.

With that said, tomorrow is the last day of Lost & Found, so if you want this amazing dress by the lovely Masoom, don't miss out!

Today I'm wearing:

My Home So Get Out

Hi Travelers!

The weekend of Halloween is finally upon us, and with the spooks and the scares and the boooooos, it's interesting to see how the spirit of Halloween is reflected in SL. Hunts, deals and haunted houses galore have my heart beating in adrenaline and excitement and I've been having too much fun.

So I'm happy to bring you another witch post, because, really, my love for witches is unnatural.

Today I'm wearing:

None of Your Business

Hi Travelers,

Lot's of amazing events going on now, or soon, which you should definitely not miss out on. We <3 RP has finally calmed down enough to be able to walk around and not lag out with the horrible Hotel internet I'm rocking. Geeks'n'Nerds went live yesterday and is also phenomenal and plays perfectly into my geek side. So many cute things bought and well, I did try not to spend all the Muns on those Gachas... I never claimed to be good at self restraint :P

Today I'm wearing:

Who, Me?

Hi Tavelers!

It's October and with that one of my favorite seasons is approaching. Something about dressing up and pretending to be something I am not just get's to me and I absolutely adore it. Of course it's a feeling we get often on SL as we can be whatever and whoever we want, however I do enjoy being something similar to myself in RL (fat, large and fluffy) so even this opportunity is not wasted on SL.
Sadly my posts will continue few and short in between until the end of November at the earliest. Damn you RL!

As a quick notice, Asteroid Box has a sale until October 31st, so don't miss out!

Today I'm wearing:

Trip to Freedom

Hi Travelers!

This month's "The Forest" event has started again and if you remember last few months, I'm a huge fan of this event not only because of the extremely affordable prices, but also because of the amazing items offered along with the very beautiful setting of the area. Worth definitely a visit.

With that said

Today I'm wearing:

Space Time Continuum

Hi Travelers!

Sadly I come with sad news. If you follow me on FB you might have known already (and thank you for the love and support, it IS appreciated), but RL and other factors are forcing me to take a bit of a step back in my blogging. So, sadly, for the foreseeable future, posts will be scarce, irregular or even fall out completely. If you know me, you know that blogging was one of my big get away, relax and chill methods and it's sad to step away from it like this indefinitely. However I just can't.

Again thank you for all the love and support you have shown me and, as always, stay safe on your trips!

Today I'm Wearing:

Set Fire to the Rain

Hi Travelers!

There's something phenomenally beautiful about the rain and the peace it can bring you. One of the only four letter words I will utter in my life.

Whenever it rains, I feel so free
Free as a bird, rain is my life
Washing away my troubles
Quenching my sun baked soul
While others rush for cover
I stroll among the empty streets
The rain dancing upon my lips
Looking up at the gray clouds
I open my mouth to catch the rain
Laughing at the silliness of it

Rain is a four letter word

Today I'm wearing:

All in my Head

Hi Travelers!

Every little glance my way, everytime you wanted to hang,
You seemed so interested, could you tell me?
Was it real or was it all in my head?
Was it real or was it all in my head?

Today I'm wearing:

If You Dare

Hi Travelers!

Recently I had a quite lengthy and interesting discussion (even if it may have been perceived as "fighting" haha) about if Photoshop using, namely the heavy editing, can be described as blogging. Now of course I'm of the opinion that yes, it is blogging, since I use it myself and I do see myself as a blogger, however it did raise a very interesting question about how true to an item one is when modifying a picture (through filters, lighting, etc)... So, with this in mind, I've decided to create a new account just for my unedited pictures which I will be adding as of now. Check it out!

I'm still going to be adding old picture (most of them not linked) but I will also include a nice link below always to the unedited version as of now. I'm quite interested in feedback on this decision. Enough of me, on to the credits my loves <3

Today I'm wearing:

Finally it's Here

Hi Travelers!

As you might have guessed, I am a sucker for Autumn. After winter, this is my favorite season of all, due to colors, the scents and also because, well, Halloween. So I was so excited to be able to blog my first autumn-y outfit of this year, and just excited overall with the arrival of this season.

So, welcome Autumn... let you reds, oranges and beauty just envelop us.

Today I'm wearing:

The Long Way

Hi Travelers!

Yes, as the Jackpot event is ending today, I wanted to showcase another amazing item of these Gacha's before the event's end. So if you like this dress, don't miss the chance! Hop onto the sim and get yourself this beautiful piece!

Today I changed into:

Faded Feelings

Apart from an Earthquake I've slept through, this trip has been an amazing learning experience so far. The thunderstorms here are breathtaking and the night life is beyond this world. Strangely it's very safe here, even after having been told the opposite. I'm starting to warm up to this country!

As a quick info, if you want this amazing shirt, run to the event as today will be the last day of the JackPot event, and tons of amazing Gachas await you!

Today I'm wearing:

Belle at the Ball

Hi Travelers!

Not wanting to ramble today, let me jump straight into this (though disclaimer, me and Disney, I just love it).
I'm trying to post a little more regularly. I hope you forgive me (again).

Today I'm wearing:

Good Girl

Hi Travelers!

Yes I know, my posting has become slow and dispersed. Sorry! It's hectic, between going out, living, working and enjoying a new country, unexplored, full of wonders and adventures, and even a twisted ankle during the way, I still want to apologize for the lateness.

However, let me say as well, the choices of this month by my sponsor's have been nothing short of amazing. Each outfit has given me such inspiration that I couldn't stay away even if I wanted to. I think I spent more time gawking at the quite frankly, naughty outfits Chemical Princess inspired me to wearing.
Good girl indeed :P

Today I'm wearing:

The Tower

Hi Travelers!

The Charity Event to help out a fellow SLer, The Book of Daniel, will be ending this 20th, so if you have some spare cash, and would like to help, along with getting amazing things in return, you have a couple more days to go.

Today I'm wearing:

Strung Up

Hi Travelers!

花间一壶酒， A pot of wine, under the flowering trees; 
独酌无相亲。 I drink alone, for no friend is near 
举杯邀明月， raising my cup I beckon the bright moon, 
对影成三人。 for her, together with my shadow, will make three people 
月既不解饮， the moon, alas, is no drinker of wine; 
影徒随我身。 listless, my shadow creeps about at my side 
暂伴月将影， yet with the moon as a friend and the shadow as a slave 
行乐须及春。 I must make merry before the spring has ended 
我歌月徘徊， to the songs that I sing, the moon flickers her beams; 
我舞影零乱。 with the dance I weave my shadow tangles and breaks 
醒时同交欢， while we were sober, three shared the fun; 
醉后各分散。 now, we are drunk, each goes their own way 
永结无情游， may we long share our eternal friendship, 
相期邈云汉。 and, meet together again in paradise.
-Drinking Alone by Moonlight, Li Bai

I Need a Daddy

Hi Travelers!

The days have been long and hard fought but finally the Weekend is here and I do plan to spend it with my new bathing suit, next to the pool, with a pina-colada or a bloody Mary and some hot weather to commemorate the survival of this week. I haven't had the amazing feeling of looking forward to a lovely weekend as much as I do today, and with that said,

Today I'm wearing:

Simple Life

Hi Travelers!

I know it has been a long time without hearing from me, but I have finally settled more or less into the hotel in Romania, have been busy through and through and let me tell you, the country is amazing. Apart from the heat, which some of you might know I'm not good at dealing with, this has been so far an amazing experience, between friends, work and shopping, I am, have been and will be quite exhausted. But I missed you... I missed blogging. SO here I am.

Today I'm wearing:

Waitin For Night Out

Hi Travelers!

Not much on my agenda today, however: I DO have a flight to catch!
So wihout much ado.

Today I'm wearing:

Bad Karma

Hi Travelers!

Whore couture is now officially open, and me, being a bit of a slut for awesome events, had to get my butt over there and check it out. Amazing will stay amazing, and with every monthly event, I am one happy gal.

With that said, I will be leaving for a new country for 2 entire months... TOMORROW. This does mean I will be less available as well as slower on my blog, but I will try to be here as often as possible... hopefully.

Today I'm wearing:

Life on the Farm

Hi Travelers!

With 2 more days left before I officially leave the country for 2 months, I've been so busy in RL getting ready that SL has indeed fallen behind slightly. Of course, creating these pictures constitutes part of my relaxing routine, but this of course still means that I will probably post a little less than usual. On the other hand, I will be staying in a hotel for 2 entire months, and I'll share this info with you: I'm a huge sucker for hotels. Ever since I was a small kid I loved them, so of course this is really exciting for me.

Today I'm wearing lovely Petite Morts group gifts and I'm in love with the Free feel of the outfit. As I will be two months in higher heat than normal, this outfit matches exactly what I wish I would wear.

Today I'm wearing:

The Visit

Hi Travelers!

Lately I've returned to one of my roots, the amazing poems by Sylvia Plath and her amazingbook "The Bell Jar". This was such a huge part of my life and it influenced me immensely and I love it. I am crazy about her poems as they just touch you so intimately and her wordsare sometimes so familiar it is a bit scary. So it was amazing to have an outfit by Wicca'sWardrobe that so close matched the poem I had read yesterday. So for that, thank you!

[...] Hand folding hand, and nothing in between.

A bodiless soul could pass another soul

In this clear air and never notice it —-

One soul pass through the other, frail as smoke

And utterly ignorant of the way it took. [...]

-Widow Poem, by Sylvia Plath

This outfit is also for Charity, with 100% donation to the charity of Doctors withoutBoarders, which is an amazing motivation, so if you want to help, the event "Spoonful of Sugar Charity" opens tomorrow, 09.09, here. 

Today I'm Wearing:

The Sky

Hi Travelers!

I am Vertical 
by Sylvia Plath

But I would rather be horizontal.
I am not a tree with my root in the soil
Sucking up minerals and motherly love
So that each March I may gleam into leaf,
Nor am I the beauty of a garden bed
Attracting my share of Ahs and spectacularly painted,
Unknowing I must soon unpetal.
Compared with me, a tree is immortal
And a flower-head not tall, but more startling,
And I want the one's longevity and the other's daring.
[...]

Today I'm wearing:

How Deep

Hi Travelers!

Happy Monday! One more week until I'm officially in Romania for 2 entire months and I am more than excited for the new trip. And on this lovely Monday I wanted to say "Happy Labor Day"! As an European girl we don't celebrate this day or have the day off, however I'm happy to be able to talk to all my american friends a little bit longer than usual.

With that said, today I'm wearing:

The Last Boss Battle

Hi Travelers!

Excite! We <3 RP opens its doors TODAY and I have to say, this is one of those fairs where I actually head back over and over and over. So I'm so excited it's back, even if the thought of actually getting in is a bit daunting. I'm scared already, but in the end it's always worth it.
In the mean time, while I wait, I'll be rocking this kick-ass dress while I do some ass kicking of my own. I'm loving this look, tbh.

Today I'm wearing:

Ethereal

Hi Travelers!

Many event are approaching this month that I'm only to happy to show off some of the lovely releases for. Crossroads has amazingly beautiful things this round, and I did go slightly crazy in it. Chapter Four will be housing this cute little dress from Masoom and it's just so precious! Chapter Four opens on the 4th so don't forget to stack up your wallet. Pickles knows I did.

Today I'm wearing:

We Were A Car Wreck (Darling)

Hi Travelers!

Ok, so I'm going to share a small secret with all of you. For the longest time on SL, that is to say, for about 5 years, I was the girl that walked around with nothing but free things. From clothes as group gifts up to Midnight Manias that I would actually log in in the morning JUST so I could hit them, my inventory was at over 200K with free things only basically. So I'm always happy to show a Midnight Madness that will have amazing items, because not all of us are able to afford that illusive awesome outfit. This outfit is no different! This outfit will ONLY be available on the 3rd and 4rth of this month as Midnight Madness. Infos necessary? Find them here.

Today I'm wearing:

Waitin at The Record Store

Hi Travelers!

And with this my last official picture for Fetish Fair is here. This was my first Event and it was an absolute amazing experience to partake in. I will not be partaking in any more for quite a while, and I have to admit, although  was a bit stressed and worried at first, the experience was so worth it. From meeting amazing people because of it, the amazing (and yes, omg, the absolutely AMAZING and WONDERFUL) designers and all the help I got, this was an experience I would repeat.
But all good things come to an end, and not only is the event coming to an end, I will also be traveling away from my country for two entire months in a weeks time. Nerve wracking... and exciting.

Today I'm wearing:

She Ends It All

Hi Travelers!

As always Chemical Princess surprises me with amazing clothing that literally inspires me to take a look into a different style than my usual innocent modern look. I absolutely adore where this outfit took me, looking for the perfect location to match the feel of the outfit, which ended me in this slightly bizarre yet fascinating Sim. See below for info!
