Bella's Second Life Style

I am so excited that it's Christmas time! It's a time of love, joy and appreciation plus all the nostalgia of childhood Christmas'! My family and I's Christmas is a celebration of nature so in our house we have 4 Christmas trees, one for each season. It's fun to decorate accordingly as well as to appreciate nature! Christmas is also fun in Second Life with all the amazing things being made and the many gifts stores are giving out in their advent calendars!

Then I learned about windlight settings which you can play around with in Second Life yourself if you like, I downloaded these win...

It's not often that I play Gacha machines... I prefer to buy from resellers. I play a gacha machine once in a blue moon and if I do it's because I know I would be happy to win any of the items in the machine. Last week I was looking through Alchemy's gacha machines, one caught my eye. It was called The Shaman. Looking through the winnable items I thought they all seemed pretty cool so I tried on the demo. I fell in love with the outfit so decided to hit the marketplace to see if I could find the outfit for a bargain. The machine would cost $100L to play and the marketplace wasn't coming up with deals I wanted to grab. Eyeing off the lions and knowing I'd be happy with any of the items I decided to give the machine a go. I thought a lion would be the ultimate prize but since it's a rare I knew it would be pretty unlikely, that was okay though because I liked everything else.
