A MASSIVE congratulations to Faiza Hassan, Czarina Czenalaine and Heartviixen for coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Avakin Unity The Survivor Challenge which has been running all month and ended this week.
After four rounds of challenges, the last round saw the finalists compete in a game of Trivial Pursuit and the three contestants above proved themselves above the rest and claim some amazing prizes.
See the contests and competitions section featured later in this edition for the next Avakin Unity sponsored event.
From the 21st-28th April, vocalist, rapper, producer and songwriter Branan Murphy is performing his new single All The Wrong Things in-game live at The Venue social spot.

If anyone remembers the real world Garage clothing brand previously featured in-game, well this Friday Lockwood collaborated with their sister brand Dynamite and released more cool real world items for us to purchase.
To see the full new collection available in store and to find out how you could win a voucher for the brand, check out the fashion and contests sections featured later in this edition.
**New feature!!!** - We are excited to say that this edition includes a new feature called 'Keeping Up With PeachLipsVixen', where she has provided us with an awesome music video showing off all the latest dances/crazes released this month amongst others. Check it out later on in this edition!!!
**Still running!!!** - For anyone still unaware or in need of some help, here's a reminder of the Avakin Official Egg Hunt 2017!!!
There are 7 eggs to be found in as many days in different spots around Avakin Life each day. We need to find them, talk to them and we will receive a treat. Once we have all 7 eggs, return them to Mother Hen at Liberty Plaza for an extra special gift!!!
To help you on your hunt, check out the very useful video guides by MQK TV featured in our YouTube section later in this edition and by using the brilliant key below by Sapphy-Kelly Reece.
The event runs all the way up to the 28th April, so we have plenty of time to find all of the eggs and claim our prize. Happy hunting!!!
**Also still running!!!** - Also a reminder that Avakin Official are still hosting the 'Can You Catch The Rabbit' event until the end of the month.
The Easter Bunny will appear in the new Easter Maze social spot throughout the day, stopping at 5 different locations around the maze and treating us to 5 different gifts. This event can be tricky, so check out the very helpful video guide by MQK TV later in this edition in our YouTube feature. Happy Hunting!!!
**extra special help** - This week, as an extra bit of help for anyone still not able to locate the Easter Bunny in all 5 spots, Avakin Official have provided the route maps below to show us all the places we can find him. Thanks guys!!!
This week we saw the amazing Apartment Sale begin, with many apartments reduced in price by 25-50%!!!

And finally.... This week we also say a very happy birthday to Avakin Indonesia who are celebrating their 2nd anniversary. Above is an Instagram post by LKWD Adam wishing them well on their special day.

In this exciting brand new feature, PeachLipsVixen will be providing us with one of her awesome music videos every fortnight-month, showing off all the latest Avakin dances and dance crazes we can purchase and take part in!!!
This week, we feature her Missy Elliott WTF music video, which includes the popular new dances/crazes Fruit Jammin, Pineapple, Cheer Squad, Hotline Things, Late Night Call and Slide Drop. These are the exciting new dances you will see most Avakins performing right now.
Many of the other dances featured in the video are older dances best suited to the music, though the video does also feature both Elation and Celebration, which both can be won via the mystery boxes. A full list of all the dances included can be found below.
Head the store now to check out all the dances featured in the video and we look forward to another awesome video from Peach soon!!!

This week was probably a little easier on our Avakin bank balances, with mainly reasonably low priced items from some of our favourite brands becoming available.
Firstly from Front Row, the girls received the Corsetry collection, a variety of casual dresses and shirts wrapped and laced up in gorgeous corsets in many styles to choose from.
Also from Front Row, the guys received the Sound Wave collection, a range of bold print, glam and quirky items in different styles.
Next we received new items from popular brand Drop Science.
The girls received a small range of twerk crop tops, vest and a pair of joggers. The guys received just an official twerk team member red hoodie.
As a fun little extra this week, Foal released a collection of sweaters for each day of the week in a variety of colours.
So, if you find it hard to remember what day it is or you simply run of items to wear, these sweaters are the perfect choice.
Also this week, the girls received some gorgeous new make up and lips from the amazing Flawless brand.
On Friday, the girls also received the brand new Power Play collection from Garage real world sister clothing brand Dynamite.
The collection featured a range of tops in red, black and white colours, and also a cute dress. Perfect for a little extra treat this Friday.
This Friday also saw another popular release from Ikon.
The girls received the Charleston dress, a stunning, glittering dress with golden sequins and shiny beaded details. The guys received the Digits outfit, a leather-heavy look with a classic biker jacket, motocross jeans and boots. The outfit was completed with a stack of gold chains.

This Friday, we received a range of clothes available in the real world from clothing brand Dynamite.

V.O.A Collections
Unlike a lot of Avakin modelling groups/agencies, Vogues Of Avakin regularly bring us their own exciting themed collections, put together from items both old and new. The collections also gives us a lot of hints and tips to achieve that desired look.
This week they have been ultra busy and yet again come up with another FOUR brand new awesomely amazing collections for us to try ourselves.
**Also this week!!!** Check out the V.O.A Facebook page directly, for beach and swimwear collections shot using the amazing new 360 degree camera currently available on the beta update.
Avakin Life Apartment Design
A big part of Avakin Life is owning your own apartment and customising it to suit your taste or perhaps for that special occasion/event. With so many apartments now available to buy or win, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with what's new and what items are inclusive to collect.
Luckily for us, Brandy Burry's brilliant Avakin Life Apartment Design Facebook/Instagram pages are a great source of information on all the latest apartment releases and provides some great ideas, hints, tips and examples on how to decorate each apartment to get us started. The page also boasts some beautiful photography.
Whilst the Avakin Life Apartment Design team are currently on a break, this week we get a sneaky peek from Lockwood of an apartment we hope to see very soon and we look at the latest episode from the Open House official YouTube series by Karoline G Gomez.
Coming soon!!!
In case you missed Lockwood's post this week, they gave us a little teaser of an exciting new windmill apartment we hoped to see this Friday. Whenever it's released, we can't wait to see it!!!

We Need You!!!
We constantly want this magazine to be for everyone to enjoy and take part in. It simply would not be possible without the huge amount of content posted each week by people who love Avakin Life as much as we do.
Therefore we want to ensure that literally everything and anything Avakin related anybody wants to see is included and shared with the rest of the community. To do this we need you!!!
So...... if you have a great idea for a feature you would like to see included or you have an event, group or family to promote, we would love to include it. If you want us to help promote your contests and competitions, we want to hear from you. If you want more exposure for your photo edits, videos and posters, we would love to help.
Mostly we value your feedback. We need you to help us make it better for you and let us know what you think.
