Catching My Breath

I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith kinda comes around
I will spent the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

You helped me see
The beauty in everything

W.O.W. Effect - Pure Rapture!

Meet Cindy, the November group gift skin from W.O.W. Skins.  With reddish brows, a faint dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose, and strawberry lips, she possesses a fresh, girl-next-door beauty.  All I added for this shot were Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics and softly draping Tomorrow hair from Magika. 

Dalila is another group gift still available at W.O.W. Skins.  A clear skinned, suntanned beauty, she is sure to please.  Again, the only thing I added to accent the skin are Gaeline Cosmetics' Mysteria mesh lashes and Tomorrow hair from Magika.  My top is part of Rapture, a mini dress which is available as part of the sixty linden weekend from Sassy.  I love the all-over sheer lace embellishment and sexy trim on this dress.  Here, I've chosen to combine the top with Alessandra Beltless Leather Pants from Alessandra Skins and Fashion.

In addition to Dalila and Cindy, there are other previous group gifts still to scoop up at W.O.W. Skins.  Although there is a fee to join this group, the gifts are generous and gorgeous.

Amal is the Autumn Hunt prize awaiting your discovery at W.O.W. skins.  If you locate the hunt icon, she can be yours for only 5L.  Amal features fair, creamy skin unadorned with make up.  Again, I added Mysteria mesh lashes, but otherwise, applied no make up so the natural beauty of Amal can shine through.

The rest of the skins on this post are part of a special hunt going on at W.O.W. Skins.  I don't know how long they will be available, so if you like these, don't delay.  Hidden throughout the store, you can find the following skins, one set of eyes and lipsticks.  Each of these items are currently set to sale for 10L!  You have to hunt through the store to find them, but honestly, it did not take me long at all to locate them all.  For these pictures, I kept the pose and the lighting the same so you could compare the skin tones.  The only thing added to each skin were Mysteria Mesh Lashes.  The blue eyes are from W.O.W. Skins, the green are from Ikon.

Oceans of Virtue

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.  To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

~ Buddha

Pom-pommed layers of aqua and teal that swirl with every step and a sexy wrapped tie-dye top make up Virtue Seven, the new Midnight Mania Prize at Biasta.  Just tap the board, call all your friends, have them tap too, and if the target number is met, you will be gifted this outfit at midnight.  I have accessorized with two recent purchases from Maxi Gossamer which I love!  Both were only 49L.  My BoHo Bangles in Laquered Turquoise and Silver coordinate perfectly with the hues of the skirt, and my Kizzy Hoops also match the gypsy feel of the outfit.  My full perm, mesh ballet flats are so easy to customize to match any shade of clothing!

Over my Nellie skin from LAQ, I have layered Honoriable Eyeliner in black and Lucir Rubyfruit lipcolor from Mock Cosmetics.  Around my Sunrise Eyes in Deep Green, you can see Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.  Tumbling over my shoulder is my new favorite hair dubbed Tomorrow from Magika.  What I love about this hair is the range of colors that you get for the price of *one* color at other stores.

We should consider everyday lost in which we don't dance.
