I’ll be busy

I’ll be busy

I’m genuinely buzzing right now because my friend is coming over from France for a long weekend, and I haven’t seen her in five years. The kind of time where life happens, hair changes, people move, and somehow you still pick up exactly where you left off. It’s funny how excited I am about something [...]

Striking the pose

Striking the pose

There’s a very specific kind of chaos that comes with blogging in Second Life, and honestly, I think it’s part of the charm. You spend ages finding the perfect outfit, the right windlight, the angle that says “effortlessly candid” while actually being very simply staged. Then comes the pose. The sacred moment where you’re supposed [...]

The world is a bit shit right now

The world is a bit shit right now

Let’s not sugar coat it, the world feels pretty shit right now. Every time you open your phone there’s another headline designed to make your chest tighten. Wars you can’t fix. Politics that feel like a shouting match with no listening. Prices going up while patience, empathy, and common sense seem to be in freefall. [...]

Snowdrops

Snowdrops

My urge to film kicked in when I visited Kess Crystals Snowdrops destination last night. So I may be back over the weekend when I have more time to do a destination video. I’ve been letting my filming take a giant back seat due to a lot of things but mainly the reality of my [...]

Snow please?

Snow please?

I really want snow. The proper kind. The fairy light, crunchy underfoot, cancel transport, chaos kind. But in reality, it always misses me. Everyone else gets a blizzard, I get aggressive drizzle. So in Second Life? It’s snowing. Constantly. Perfect flakes. No slush. No disappointment. If I can’t have winter magic in real life, I’ll [...]

My cuddle friend

My cuddle friend

I’ve been unwell since Boxing Day, which is apparently long enough for everyone to assume I’m fine now. I’m not. Returned to work today anyway. Was I well? No. Was I upright and vaguely conscious? Yes. I answered emails, stared at screens, and quietly wondered why I didn’t have a soft toy for emotional support. [...]

Dreaming

Dreaming

I often catch myself daydreaming about the perfect space at home, the kind of place that instantly makes you exhale the moment you walk in. A space that feels calm, a little indulgent, and entirely yours. It’s not always about bigger rooms or new furniture, but about the details that quietly transform how a room [...]

Using Second Life Drama to Feel Relevant on YouTube

Using Second Life Drama to Feel Relevant on YouTube

There’s a special kind of irony when someone logs into Second Life, not to create, not to build, not to participate, but to use other people’s lives as content. They don’t tell their own story, they borrow everyone else’s. They hover. They record. They stitch together half truths and imagination, then upload it to YouTube [...]
