Freebie & Fabulous Business Tool

If you're a business owner in Second Life, you have to try this new Transaction Tracker. It is seriously amazing. It's just gone to Open Beta, so take advantage of being able to test it for 5L$. If you help Beta test, you also get a free month! They're even offering to give you the 5L$ back if you don't like it, so you really have nothing to lose. Trust me, it will be worth every single L$.

It makes sense of all those transactions we all have. It can create graphs and charts in seconds so you can track how well your products are doing. There's a "Top Ten" list for products, freebies, and even customers! It's a great way to send something extra special to those who buy every release you put out. You can also track sales by region, so you can tell if the shop you're renting at X-island is doing well or not and worth keeping! In just a few minutes! You don't have to sort through pages and pages of excel files to find out!

Instead of trying to fight with excel to figure out what all those numbers mean, or to try and figure out how well a particular product is selling, I just upload my transactions into this tracker and it tells me everything I need to know, and some things I didn't know I needed to know! I really couldn't live without it, and I know so many creators who have been wishing for something like this that's easy to use and simple to understand. I've been super lucky to be part of the development of this amazing tool, and as an almost 4-year SL content creator, I can tell you this thing ROCKS.

Seriously, go read through the website, there's a ton of information there about how it all works.

And finally, I've put out a little freebie for Earth Day today.

Calling all Bloggers!

Bloggers, if you are interested in receiving Press Release copies (for you to keep) of all Calla releases to be used in blog posts or reviews, please send me a note card with the subject "Calla Press Release Group - YOUR NAME" Inside the note, include your blog url for consideration. Upon review of your blog, I will add you to the subscriber Calla Press Release group. All releases will go out prior to being released in the shop, or on release day.

Note: Signing up does not require you to blog a release. You are under no obligation to review any releases, these are review copies for you to use at your discretion. This is simply an easy way for me to reach many people who want review copies at once rather than one-by-one. I would, of course, love honest and constructive feedback (whether blogged or via notecard/IM) on the releases but it is not a requirement!

Six Beautiful New Lashes

Calla Lashes Set 3 went out today, and these are some of my favorites yet! I still love my Whispy's but I have to say, the new Sweet lashes are giving them a run for their money! Sweet has a very subtle cat-eyed look to it, that's perfectly glamorous but not over-the-top. They're a definite must-have! If you buy the whole pack, you save 100L$ over buying them individually.

I do also offer custom fittings, if your shape is transferable, for a 500L$ per pack fee (this goes for hair as well as lashes or anything else!). These are super easy to fit though, so I doubt you'll need it. But just in case, it is available. And now for the pics!

Calla Lashes - Gentle

Calla Lashes - Glam

Calla Lashes - Knotted

Calla Lashes - Passion

Calla Lashes - Sweet

Calla Lashes - Vintage

Demos are free as always! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Calla/145/150/21. Come by and try on all three sets and pick your favorites!

Boy Hair? Are You SERIOUS?!

Yes, boy hair! Two of them! Don't worry ladies, I didn't leave you out. New hair and new lashes for you. But first, for the guys!

Calla London

Calla Seph

Seph has been three and 1/2 years in the making. Yeah, really. I can't tell you how many versions of this hair I've made. One of the first ever requests I received for hair was for Sephiroth of Final Fantasy fame. My husband is a Final Fantasy fan, and we actually own the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie. He's made me watch it just to look at the hair. Yes, Cloud is coming soon. Anyway, I finally am pleased with this one, and here it is!

Now, for the ladies!

Calla Seph

Calla Seph

The little gems on the lashes are color change! You can color them by script, or by hand to mix things up and use multiple colors. They look very dramatic close up, but from a normal distance, there's just a touch of color that highlights and really makes your eyes look amazing!

Demos are free as always! Come and get 'em! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Calla/145/150/21.

Beautiful Sculpted Hair Lilies

Howdy! Whew, what a week. I've been feeling yucky and now one of my kiddos is sick, so I haven't gotten as much done as I'd planned this week.

However, there is newness! Because I totally slacked off on the 50L$ Silver Star specials this week, the new releases are 50% off TODAY ONLY!

Beautiful, sculpted lilies to wear in your hair, these magnificent flowers come in TWENTY color options! I went a little overboard, but they're soooo pretty, I couldn't help it. They will go with any hairstyle you own, whether from Calla or somewhere else! They are Touch-to-Fit so you can make them bigger or smaller to suit your style. Here are my favorites: (click for a larger view)

Calla Hair Lily - Blue Haze Calla Hair Lily - Lover's Lips Calla Hair Lily - Pink Burst

Calla Hair Lily - Purple Flame Calla Hair Lily - Sunburst Calla Hair Lily - Tigerlily

Demos are free, and they WILL go up to their regular price tomorrow! So get them today for super cheap. Even the fatpack (which is already discounted) is half off! Teleport to Calla now!

And coming next week, some new hair for the men, and some lashes for the ladies. Color change gem lashes....to die for, I promise.

Have a beautiful weekend, and don't forget that Relay for Life in SL kicks off tomorrow! You can tune into the Opening Events which are always touching and inspiring by pointing your browser to:

http://t1radio.serverroom.us:8242

That way you can listen in from anywhere! I will DEFINITELY be there again this year, and am heading up the Designers in Seclusion RFL Team for the third year. I'm super excited and honored to be a part of Relay for Life, and hope that you'll support the efforts as much as you can. Not just with your Lindens, but with your time and effort. Just showing up to events means a TON to all of the teams!
