Love That Pineapple

 One of my favorite things about summer is pineapple! Pina Coladas, upside down pineapple cake, fresh pineapple rings, the list goes on. So, when I was asked to host a small luncheon of well ordinary folks, I opted to pick up some pineapples. Of course, I had to find the weirdest vendor in town that loved to put faces on them!

 7 Deadly s[K]ins created a new skin named,  Destiny. This is an Omega applier skin based on the Akeruka bento mesh head. The applier not only applies to the face but to the body as well! You can get this in your choice of two skin boxes, one is light, containing 4 skin tones, caramel, cotton candy, marshmallow, & sand.  Or the darker box which also pineapple, taupe, oak and fudge. Also available is a shape to go with these great skins and they are all on sale soon when Applique opens July 15th.

Our Backyard

After working in the garden most of the morning, I felt as if I had made a huge progress with its looks, I jumped in the shower, Tossed on a cute little black dress, did my nails Koffin style then relaxed a bit on my new Sofa. After relaxing a while it was time to go for a bike ride with one of the puppies. Of course ALL of them wanted to go but, only one at a time.

My Living Room and beyond- A Home & Garden Expo Post

Today we are going to tour the garage and downstairs part of the house.  I'm going to start with the garage and guide you through these, so do be sure to scroll down to see all the fantastic items available at the RFL Home and Garden Expo.

The home, called the Brookside) is by Potomac homes who is the Sponsor of the section I am assigned to blog, Hope 9. Below is a map of the area for you. 

https://slhomeandgardenexpo.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/the-expo-in-the-press/

I go into further detail on the home itself in a former post.

http://aerwolf.blogspot.com/2016/02/mommy-daughter-time.html

This home is amazing and beautiful and so roomy I have been having a lot of fun decorating inside. It has an attached garage with working doors, and a stone pathway which you can place, but is optional. From the garage, as you can see, there is a short hallway and door which leads you into the kitchen..

The kitchen has a working fridge and oven which actually give you food when you click on them. A fantastic island for preparing food, plenty of counter space and a working sink as well. I placed some decorations down which are also items at the expo. The candle is designed by Moco Emporium and adds a soft mood to any decor. The beautiful flowers you see are a hunt item at the expo and designed by Cosmos. Beautiful detail and only 10L.

Moving futher into the room you can see some more beautiful flowers in a vase, these were designed by Cosmos as well. Wonderful work Cosmos! Next we have another one of those great egg chairs by Moco Emporium, this one is the hanging version and also has multisits. And on the floor by the same designer, a ruffled rug to add to the look. And yes, my dog is photobombing us lol. This adorable cactus is designed by Celtic Wolf and when you click on it, it will dance for you, click again to make it stop. This cutie is another item in the expo hunt.

Now on to the living room area. This great living room set was designed by Dekute Decor and is one of their donation items. Which means 100% of the proceeds will go to Relay for Life to help with cancer research. It has a texture change menu for both the cushions and the wood. On the table is another donation item, the Strawberry Daiquiri Tray by True North Designs gives you a drink when you click on it and shows alot of detail. The other item on the table is from another event which I'll tell you about down below. Also by Dekute Decor and offered up as a hunt item, is this cute pet bed planter. Something every pampered pet should have. Also, a low table with an elegant swan and bonsai tree to grace your home. It was the perfect fit in that nook by the staircase.

Turning the camera a different direction, you see the large fireplace with that wonderful detailed rock work. It comes with an option of what you wish to see, candles, fire, logs without fire, or chimney smoke. I show you two of the options in the pictures below. This fireplace is part of the Potomac home. Next to the fireplace is a red couch table and beautiful birdcage with flowers, both by True North Designs. They are both new releases with the birdcage making it's debut at the expo.

Finally we come to another corner of the living room where I have placed a Deco Foyer Settee by Nomad, which is one of the gacha items in the All That Glitters Gacha machine. Hanging on the wall is the memorial shelf by Celtic Wolf, where I have placed the picture of one of our loved ones lost last year to cancer. I hope you enjoyed my tour and for more information check below.

Worth mentioning of course is the morbid candy box by Insanity's Own, called From your ex and it's part of a gacha at the Bitter Love Gacha Fair.
