Slowly. In for a count of ten and then release. And repeat.

It always amazes me how well that trick works to calm and settle. Whether it is stress, anger or pain, just breathe. It won’t solve your problems, but it will make them a bit more bearable.

Pretty dresses make things more bearable, too. This striking leather mini from Apple May Designs for the September round of We < 3 Roleplay fits the bill perfectly. You have until the 30th to pick it up, so don’t panic.

Just breathe.

Apple May Designs is releasing a new jacket at the main store for men. Yes, that’s right – I’m wearing a men’s jacket (with lavish application of alphas). Did you think I was going to get my girly clothes dirty at work? The jacket comes in both TMP and standard fitted mesh sizes. I’m wearing the small. So no need to confine your fashion to the ladies’ section!

My boots, on the other hand, are women’s boots. I wasn’t in the mood to put on six pairs of socks to make a men’s pair fit 😉 They are from fri.day for Collabor88 this month. These are the boots I’ve been needing (yes, needing!) so I was thrilled to find them.

Time to start to work…remind me never to complain about a tough day at the office again!

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:
*Jacket: Apple May Designs Leather Jacket (Fitted) – Light Brown by Apple May (preview of men’s jacket coming to the main store)

Retreat

1 Retreat sm

Creating a place of retreat can be elaborate or as simple as finding a quiet spot where you can simply reflect and recharge. It can be in a garden, on a mountaintop or simply inside your mind. It’s your choice – whatever makes sense to you.

I have created this retreat not just within a garden, but with beautiful fall roses around me. You can win them at the September round of The Chapter Four in the gacha machine by [ keke ]. There are 10 commons and one rare, all equally as lovely as each other. Dressing for the occasion also enhances the experience. You can find the dress by Salt & Pepper at We < 3 Roleplay and the shoes by Apple May Designs on Marketplace.

Find your special retreat; find your own peace.
