Lady In Red

Hey, guys!

I took a little break of over a week from blogging to see if it would help me to increase my creativity. I think it works, at least, I really this photo that I'm posting right now. I wish I could always only post photos I really love, but sometimes, when we are bloggers, we must post photos we aren't 100% happy with because of deadlines.

It is true I have left many sponsors since January. That was difficult, I left some events I really liked, like The Arcade and Anthem. The staff of both events were extremely generous and nice with me, but I felt like that was unfair if I continued being part of their bloggers' team because I believe my performance was lacking and they could find better bloggers to join their teams.

I have also gave up on blogging decor. I still love landscaping and buying furniture, but, unfortunately, I became lazy and I felt like I was taking the same photo over and over again. I decided to go back to taking portraits to challenge myself. But sometimes I get frustrated with my lack of ideas and stamina. 

This week is my two year wedding anniversary! My hubby and I were planning a romantic dinner at a fancy italian restaurant. But because of coronavirus, we had to change our plans. Now we might have a romantic picnic at a park, far away from other human beings. This photo embodies the feeling I would like our romantic dinner to have had if we could have one.

Kite At Night

Hey, guys!

Sometimes coming up with a nice photo takes time. Sometimes we try many poses and they all look "meh". Sometimes we visit countless sims looking for inspiration and they simply won't work out. This photo might look simple, but coming up with the idea of using this pose while wearing this kimono took me weeks. First I began trying the most common ideas for props: japanese lanterns, food and wagasas. These simply didn't help to show how special this kimono was. I also knew I wanted to display the shoes from the Jihi set, because they are very cute. 

When picking up a pose, I try to look for movement, a pose that truly helps me to tell a story. I did a little research and I believe this type of kimono isn't a "festival" kimono, for example, but instead, the type of kimono people would wear every day for daily activities. 

I'm aware this kimono was made inspired by Nezuko, from the anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba". It's been a long time since I don't watch anime, so I wasn't aware of Nezuko until this kimono was released. But I looked around some videos on Youtube and it seems like "Kimetsu no Yaiba" has many extremely colorful scenes during night times. .

I hope you guys like this photo!

Monarch

When I was a kid I used to be scared of butterflies. Actually, I was terrified of moths, but since I was a kid, to me butterflies and moths were like siblings. Yin and yang. Night and day. One would scared me during the day and the other one terrify me at night.

Nowadays I'm still a little bit bugged by moths, but I really like butterflies! Specially the Monarch butterfly. I mean, they look so stunning, it's impossible to ignore them, right? They are truly fascinating, during autumn migration they are able to travel thousand of miles, from Canada and northern USA to Florida and Mexico. Unfortunately, every year the number of monarch butterflies keeps declining. 

Did you know that Monarch butterflies' caterpillars only eat milkweed? Without milkweed they cannot survive! After learning more about Monarchs, my husband and I decided we will try to plant some milkweed (only native species, avoid tropical milkweed at any cost, because this spicie might harm the butterflies even more) in our garden. Hopefully together we can help the monarch at least a little bit.
