Time is changing

Time is changing

So it seems Autumn is arriving.

I have a head cold and feel meh and the rain is beating down on my windows as I tap this. I’m having my lunch break.

Here in the UK we are forecast heavy rain, which has already been falling and the temperatures going down.

Out come the Autumnal clothes and down on paper is the list of things to buy.

Isn’t it the same every year?

Every year I’m never prepared. My wardrobe is bursting with clothes both virtually and realistically. Clothes that I hang on to in case they may fit, just in case.

Why do we do that?

No more I say. This weekend I’m doing another sort through of both wardrobes and getting rid of the items I items I realistically won’t wear again. To the delete bin for my pixel attire and to the charity bin for the real life.

I’m off to work again. Social media going off. Check !

Have a good day.

Adding the SLBN logo to WordPress

Adding the SLBN logo to WordPress

A few people have asked me about how they add a clickable logo to their WordPress.

Given I only recently after years of being here learnt myself I know how difficult it can seem.

So I made a quick tutorial in my coffee vlog to demonstrate.

I hope it helps those of you who were like me previously trying to figure this out.

Often I have asked questions in the past from other bloggers about how to do things in WordPress but have found people can find it hard to explain in a text form or simply they are not interested to help.

Consider this one of a few tutorials I will attempt to try and help the others out there who similarly struggle on our own to learn things.

I am not a great tutor by any means but all I can do is give it to you my style and if it helps then absolutely great.

Enjoy the video…..

Red before bed

by Isabelle Cheren2 Comments on Red before bed
Red before bed

Would you believe I slept like a giant sized baby last night and it was bliss.

I’ve had a issue the past few weeks with sleep and my brain slowing down and really found I was getting only 3-4 hours of that sleep a night.

I personally cannot function properly on little sleep and it’s been hard to keep to my routine and not give into it. I function best on 7 hours.

Finally last night I slept. What was the secret I hear you say? Detaching from social media for most of my day, and before sleeping, turning the iphone away and just playing with the cats and relaxing my mind so that it slowed down and was almost like a slow steady heartbeat.

A lot has to be said for internet, social media and the like that’s so positive.

But a lot has to also be said about some of the impacts it has on you.

Draxtor Despres has an excellent attitude to it all. Switch off and engage with life.

I’ve learnt that he turns off regularly and spends time doing other things and only goes to social media at selected moments. It’s not 24/7 and actually I think we could all benefit from this.

Most of my issues stems from my Fibro but also I do feel engagement in these electronic activities has a great impact on us.

We don’t notice it until our minds are working overtime. Consider the fact many work on computers all day, then afterwards social media, television and gaming.

What opportunity are we giving ourselves to relax completely and interact with life around us?

We walk the streets and everywhere you look are people with their heads buried in their electronic devices, staring at the little screens as they walk.

What kind of world will we be in ten years from now? Will people even walk out their front doors?

Let’s take a positive action to limit our time and engage more with what is around us.

Announcing Official SL Blogger Network

Good morning and good evening wherever you may be. I think I’ve got a cold.

But that’s not what this blog post is about at all.

Yesterday I did a vlog on YouTube about the new shiny Official Second Life Blogger Network Launch. (SLBN). It was spoken about by Strawberry Linden and Xiola Linden at the Wednesday Lab Gab streamed live with guest Kess Crystal.

Basically both Vloggers and Bloggers are getting the opportunity to be showcased on the Second Life blog and an opportunity to share your work via Second Life.

Now I consider that a really positive community step for all involved. A way to get your work showcased and to gain a wider reach.

Can you apply? Well of course you can.

Simply click Here and read. You will find the submission form to apply, the Terms and conditions and Content guidelines. Make sure you read those before you apply so you understand what content can’t be included etc.

Once you have completed the submission form, you then go back to the Content Guidelines page and scroll down till you find the two images of the SLBN badge, right click and save to your computer. There is also a link under the badge that you need to save with the badge to your blog. The link in case you miss it is This.

Depending on your blog you then add the badge. If you are on WordPress and don’t know how to do this, shout out to me and I’ll try and help you. Failing that tomorrow’s blog I’ll explain how. You got it I’ll attempt a video!

Remember, read all the guidelines so you understand content that is not permissible and happy blogging and vlogging!

Venice arrivederci TI AMO

Venice arrivederci TI AMO

Harriet has one final stop before she flies home. Venice, the land of water and nuns.

Along the way Harriet has undergone a change which will give her a new zest for life as she discovers if blondes really do have more fun.

Come along as she sails along the canals of Venice in Second Life and meets the locals.

Harriet ha un’ultima fermata prima di tornare a casa. Venezia, la terra dell’acqua e delle suore.
Lungo la strada Harriet ha subito un cambiamento che le darà una nuova gioia di vivere mentre scopre se le bionde si divertono davvero di più.
Vieni mentre naviga lungo i canali di Venezia in Second Life e incontra la gente del posto.

Goodnight sweet heart

Goodnight sweet heart

I’ve let the hours disappear and landed myself in bed.

I was travelling into Sansar this evening but time is so short some days and sometimes I can’t fit it all in. Plus I did that last night. There is of course tomorrow.

This evening was a Second Life moment and I worked on Paragon Animations new Salsa promo video. A new Thelma episode, Harriet coming back from her holidays and a new dance video. The next few days will be a buzz.

Finally this blog post and video. I’m shattered and my bed is my castle right now.

Have you ever sat back and thought to yourself, how the heck did I do all that?

I am right now wondering did I go into a Matrix experience and doubled up on me?

I bid you all a jolly goodnight and hope your dreams are as exciting as mine.

Now the video….

I really couldn’t go to bed till I had shown you this.

Seriously if you love a bit of cuteness,  this is the cutest experience to visit in Sansar.

On top of immense cuteness, you get to pick yourself up some freebie merch while at it.

Don’t take my word for it, watch the video, then go visit.

It is so

It is so

I was going to pop to the shops this morning before work and pick up a few bits. The pouring rain made me reconsider that decision.

Now as I’m sat here I am asking myself why I didn’t do that yesterday when I had a whole day to do so and it wasn’t tumbling down with the wet stuff.

On top of that, in this outfit I would look slightly out of place don’t you think? By the way it’s the last few days before the items are cleared.
