Switch Witch Fall 2017 Q & A
I'm going to put new notes (that aren't answers to questions) in purple and leave them that way for a few days so they will be easier to find.
I'll also try not to edit my answers, but I did cave and find a fairy for all of the NYCC exclusives I was lusting after, so I put a strikethrough through that answer.
Note: BPAL bottles that I have currently on order are listed in the 'SOON' section at the bottom of the 'My Collection' link in my signature.
I have ordered bottles and decants of the scents I'm interested in from both Lilith updates. (I wish I had ordered decants of Do You Like Clowns? and Huntress now, though!)
I ordered bottles of my two must-have Weenies and decants of the Weenies I was interested in, but iffy on. I am currently sitting on my hands and not allowing myself to order the two items I'm lusting after from the Trading Post Weenie update.
Here is my Amazon Wish List. I used the universal wish list feature, so there are lots of non-Amazon items on there. I made it just to give an idea some of my interests and tried to include some Halloween-themed things.
Since you asked me to keep adding things to my wishlist, I've been trying to do so on Amazon and Etsy. Here's a link to my Etsy wishlist (which includes a few things in a category I said I didn't want... it must be the cute animal effect).
If you're conspiring with other witches or thinking about it, I wouldn't say no to the pumpkin pie fudge that Greenwoodtree mentioned on the SW spreadsheet.
10/5/17
would any witchees be interested in NASA swag? I'm now super-close to Marshall Space Flight Center and will be visiting the space center with my kiddo pretty regularly. If so, what would you like? Clothes, a mug, magnets, a plush Snoopy wearing a flight suit?
I am a slut for space! Any of those things would be neat.
does anybody like anything from Solstice Scents? I LOVE their Jack and the Devil. http://www.solsticescents.com/
I generally avoid looking at perfume oils from other companies as my BPAL addiction is so costly as it is. But I would be down for trying one of the whipped soaps, if you're a fan of them. Witches Cottage, Foxcroft, and Maine Moon whipped soaps could be interesting, although I'm not sure how Maine Moon would smell, because while I love dirt and root beer notes, I'm not sure how they would smell together.
10/3/17
Witchee, would you like anything from the Trading Post Halloween update? https://blackphoenix...y/weenies-2017/
I really like the sound of Pumpkin Butter Ice Cream bath oil and White Pumpkin Floss perfume oil. I'd also be interested in trying Pumpkin Latte hair gloss.
10/1/17
​Witchee, I'm about to place an order with Smolder Cosmetics. Do any of their products (glitter, eye dusts etc) appeal to you? https://smoldercosmetics.com
The Cranberry, Plum, and Lilac Loose Glam Dusts look nice. I already own a lot of eyeshadow, though!
​Witchee, I have a small but awesome farmer's market by my house. They have a local honey stand (which also sells things made from local honey like Propolis tincture!); there's a small apothecary and she additionally makes soaps and hand-made, hand-poured scented candles; plus a guy that makes an array of BBQ and Hot Sauces. Does ny of this appeal? Would you like anything from my local farmer's market?
I like supporting farmers markets and local honey and handmade soaps and candles sound good to me.
Witchee, would you be interested in anything from Strobe Cosmetics? http://strobecosmetics.com/
I really do own a lot more eyeshadow than I'll ever wear already, but I Mulled Wine and Sanctuary look nice.
Also, How would you feel about getting Hello Kitty stuff?
It's not really mah jam!
Would you like to get some favorite recipes?
I like trying new things and would appreciate them if they're vegetarian-friendly!
Would you like anything from my shop?
No, thank you! Scarves and shawls aren't really my thing.
9/30/17
Would you like anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall Part II update? https://www.hausofgl...ween-scent-list
I love their whipped soaps and pumpkin butters. I would love some Ghost Puffs, Apple Milk, and Blood Orange Marshmallow whipped soap or pumpkin butter, and I'm also interested in Cozy Pumpkin and Hex.
9/27/17
How do you feel about these little guys? I think they're adorable and kind of want them all, but especially the ghost and pirate ones. https://lovemomiji.c...imited-editions
They're not really my cup of tea.
9/26/17
What are your top three most wanted DC'd or previous LE BPALs?
I'm just going to list the ones that are currently on my wishlist and not anything ridiculously rare. Snake Oil Jelly Doughnut (I keep missing this on the BPTP Etsy), The Sharing of the Cake Between the Lion and the Unicorn HG (which I missed last year while I was in Germany, since Puddin' had run out of components before I remembered to go order it), and Lightning Storm HG (I'm almost out, so I keep using it sparingly). Honorable mentions to go to Snowblind and Quietude.
What are some things you do NOT want to receive?
A big ol' beer? I'm not a beer drinker. I'm also not big on jewelry.
is there anything from here that you might be interested in getting a print (or pillow/make-up case/etc) of?
http://www.blackabbeystudios.com/store
I like the Spell of Ravensong print.
Claire's has some super cute Halloween stuff. In the style of Haunted Mansion - black lace collars, lace and sparkle masques and the like. A few items in Dias de los Muertos style. Would you be interested in such things?
No, thank you!
Would you be interested in anything from Orange Thyme? https://shoporangethyme.com/ If so, which products/scents/flavors?
The items I'd be interested in (unscented body butter and Earl Grey lip balm) are currently sold out.
9/25/17
Anyone like/want calendars or dayplanners? No, thank you!
If you like stationery, do you like plain, colors, images, or specific DON'T LIKES? Colors and images are preferable.
What about general desk stuff like cool colored paperclips and post it pads? No, thank you!
Would anyone be interested in having any of Abigail Larson's artwork (either as a print or on something, like a pillow, blanket, or t-shirt)? https://society6.com/abigaillarson
I asked this question because I really enjoy her artwork. I added a few things from her shop to my wishlist. As far as prints go, I really like The Night Circus, Spring, Winter, and The Yellow Wallpaper. And I didn't end up adding clothing to my list, but I think Ghosts and Poison would be good tank tops.
Does anything catch your eye from Ten Thousand Villages? http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/
The Fox Coin Purse is cute!
Would you be into receiving hand made (crocheted, sewn, felted, chain maille, scale, or duct tape, in my case, depending on the item) dishclothes? Scarf/shawl? Hat? Bag? Anything? Colors? (Duct tape, chain maille, and scales come in colors.) I'd be down for some purple fingerless gloves. I live somewhere that's too warm most of the time to warrant warm things, though. A small pouch to put things like cards and coins in would also be appreciated.
Do you collect anything from SBUX like City Mugs, City Mug ornaments, City Cards, or Bearistas? If so, which do you need/want? Or would you like a City Mug or an ornament for fun? No, thank you!
anybody want homemade fudge? I can do chocolate with or without nuts, peanut butter, and butterscotch. Homemade fudge would be great! I like chocolate (with or without nuts is fine).
do you like spicy foods? I am currently addicted to these suckers and want to send you some buffalo ridged kettle potato goodness (https://www.billygoa...shop/1lb-kicker) Spicy foods are not mah jam.
what would you like from the Weenies updatus giganticus??? I ended up ordering decants of the scents I was interested in, but iffy on. I am planning to order bottles of Pumpkin Spice Perversion and Pumpkin Spice Snake Oil later this week, as those are my must-haves.
Witchees, do you want anything specifically from this page? http://iceweasel.net/switchwitch/
I love the owl mitts!
9/24/17
do you collect the art cards that BPAL sends out? Any in particular that you are looking for or definitely don't need?
I do collect them, but I don't have any specific ones that I'm looking for.
Do you like this beautiful art, and she makes stickers and prints...SOOOO gorgeous: https://www.shannatr...om/paperprints/
I like the Wise One Whispers.
Favorite animals or wild creatures or mythological creatures?
My favorite animals are cats, rabbits, owls, foxes, and baby tweeters (miscellaneous little birds that hop around).
would you like any swag from the Depeche Mode concert? (pins, posters, shirts, program, dunno what they'll have!)
I am a fan and would definitely appreciate something! I'm still kicking myself for missing out on tickets in my city when I was in Germany earlier this year. I would love to see them live one day.
Is anyone interested in the new Resistance scents that the Lab just released (Take a Knee and SN: Flor de Maga)?
I'd be interested in a decant of Take a Knee.
Is anyone here into zero waste, plastic free living, urban homesteading, or any simplicity/minimalism-esque lifestyles? If so, could you use any tools or equipment?
No, thank you!
9/23/17
Are you interested in anything from Bath & Bodyworks? Which products and scents do you like? www.bathandbodyworks.com/
No, thank you!
I am possibly going to a crystal / gem show tomorrow. I can't afford expensive gem stones, but...
What kind of crystals would you like?
No crystals for me, thank you!
Pumpkin or Zucchini bread? I like both, but I prefer pumpkin.
What kind of homemade cookies are your favorite? I have started making cookies with Ritter Sport chocolate pieces inside of them, and now chocolate chips seem inferior. I also like pumpkin chai sugar cookies, oatmeal cranberry cookies (no raisins), and shortbread cookies or any kind that would be good with tea.
Could you use a muscle rub? (We make ours on the lunar cycle and it has menthol, wintergreen, habanero, cayenne, olive oil, st. john's wort, arnica, beeswax, calendula, and ginger. It tingles. We call it "Thunder Butter". If you have really really super sensitive skin, I would recommend against it. And don't take a hot shower or open all of your pores before using it.) While it sounds great, it sounds like it wouldn't be for me due to my sensitive skin.
Interested in trying some of our rose petal (rose petals, sugar, everclear) or lavender vanilla bean (lavender, vanilla bean, vodka) liqueur? Lavender vanilla bean liqueur sounds interesting!
Want some honey from the bees on our property? Honey sounds good to me.
Would you like some homemade jam? I have blackberry, rose petal, strawberry rhubarb, peach, and cherry. I'd be down for some homemade jam.
How about some homemade candied jalapenos with garlic cloves? I have regular and with habanero. I don't think this kind would be for me.
I didn't dry any apples this year but I was thinking of heading over to Green Bluff and seeing if any honeycrisps are left. I have a commercial dehydrator so let me know if you are interested in any "Apple Crips" (as voodoocatwoman calls them!) I wash, peel, core, and slice before dehydrating.
I do enjoy apple crisps.
Do you need any kind of dice bag, tote, project bag, cosmetic bag, pencil bag, or whatever? I have lots of bag patterns and fabric. We make bags under the name Twinkle N Twilight.
Or how about a couple of pillowcases?
A small coin purse or cosmetic bag would be nice.
9/22/17
Would my witchee like this to warm up the fall coffee cup?? https://www.truelemo...gory-s/1871.htm
The True Apple Cinnamon Hot Apple Cider looks good.
do you like to take baths? if so, do you like oils, salts, things that fizz, all of the above, none of the above?
I do like baths! I like bubbles, oils, and things that fizz.
What style/make/etc of phone do you have? What about size of tablet? Laptop? Would you like decals, skins, or cases for any of these?
I have an iPhone 6 Plus, but I'm happy with my TARDIS case! My laptop is an old Macbook Pro, but it's probably better not to get any decals for it since it's seven years old and probably going to have to be replaced soon.
9/21/17
See's Candy. My absolute favorite. They have special Halloween candy..any of these pique your interest?? Cinnamon Apple Scotch Mallows, Pumpkin spice truffles, pumpkinspice lollypops, caramel apple lollypops, or any other of their chocolates, etc?
I used to love these chocolate almond cluster things they make. Pumpkin spice truffles and Cinnamon Apple Scotch Mallows sound good. I'm always down for chocolate, provided it won't melt in transit.
Are any witchees into coloring books? I'd be up for one, but don't have any coloring books or art supplies.
Witchees, is there anything that catches your eye at Animi Causa (https://www.animicausa.com/shop/)?
There are a lot of cute things here! I added a few of their items to my wishlist.
If I were to find an adorable autumnal/Halloween-y dish/flatware/etc. design, how many settings would be needed in your household?
I already have a dishset, but a cute Halloween themed serving bowls or platters would be welcome, and I really love Pottery Barn's new skeleton wine glasses. There are two people in my household.
9/20/17
Do you like Broadway shows/music? If so what are some of your favorites and/or ones that you hope to see or listen to eventually? Would you like merch from your favorite shows or CDs from shows you want to listen to?
I enjoy musicals, but I am not a big enough fan to have any favorites.
I'm heading to NYCC in October! Is there anything I can get my Witchee while I'm there? I'm very interested in Apple III, Apple VI, Apple VII, Apple Marshmallow HG, and Sugared Apple bath oil.
I'm going to Edmonton Expo this weekend (It's Edmonton's version of comic con). Would a witchee like anything from there?
No, thank you!
Anything catch your eye from this site (globalgirlfriend.com)? No, thank you!
Do you have any favorite, lesser-known stores? Especially ones that sell hand-crafted or independently made items.
I can't think of any at the moment!
Imagine you're going to the most gigantic art & craft show imaginable, and money is no object - what kind of things would you gravitate towards and probably spend money on? Include as specific as you want to get!
I'm not really an arts & crafts kind of gal, but I'd probably get stuff to do try to recreate one of the tables Aurelio Voltaire created on Gothic Homemaking.
9/19/17
Are you interested in anything from Think Geek? http://www.thinkgeek.com
I have a wishlist there (although there's not much on it at the moment)!
Do you have something you wish you put on your original questionnaire/forgot to put/would like to add on to?
DAVIDsTEA recently discontinued Organic Countess of Seville without an announcement, which was one of my favorite teas. It was their take on a green Earl Grey. Now I'm on the hunt for some new green Earl Greys to try!
Any additional misc. information about yourself you want your Witch to know? (I think this was on the survey, but again if there's something that you forgot...)
Not that I can think of at the moment!
If you could decorate your house (or one room) in any one theme, what would it be? Your answer can be as simple ("Star Wars" or "Baroque" or "Modern"), or complicated or a combination (e.g. Victorian Gothic) as you feel best fits.
It would probably be modern, but somewhat Goth-y. Lots of black, purple, and grey.
Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting? I don't have one, but I'd be up for having one to wear while baking!
BTW, would my witchee be interested in something like this? (photo of black and white striped knitted doll) No, thank you! I do enjoy some tiny fandom-related knitted dolls, though. (I wish The Geeky Hooker sold them!)
9/18/17
It seems like there's a question about socks on the questionnaire, but I don't think it got down to this level: Do you wear them? Any particular style (crew length, knee high, anklet, boot, etc.) or fiber (wool, cotton, bamboo anything but wool, etc.) preference? I adore socks. Knee highs are the best or me, or thigh-highs. Ankle or crew length would also be fine, but I do not wear them as often because I mostly wear boots. Animal and Halloween-themed socks would be great! I have some of them on my wishlist already.
Would you be open to previously-loved books? This was in the questionnaire, but yes, I'd be down for that.
What about partial-full bottles of BPAL or BPTP? That would be fine with me as well!
So what are your favorite fandoms? Doctor Who, iZombie, Orphan Black, Adventure Time
9/17/17
I'm in France at the moment, is there anything here you might like? I'm in Provence, the land of lavender, so if you like that flower in particular just say so!
I'm a slut for lavender!
are you into divination? What kind(s) do you currently do? Do you want more books and/or tools for that type (e.g. new tarot cards, new runes)? Is there a new type of #divination you've been meaning to try, and if so, are you looking for the tool, a book on the subject, or both?
No, I do not practice divination.
World my Witchee be interested in a Tarot or Astrology reading done personally?
No, thank you!
Does my Witchee need any magical supplies?
Not sure if this fits into this category, I'd really like a decant or bottle of TAL Charisma and Gainful Employment.
Would you be interested in any of the seasonal (or regular) soaps from Cellar Door Soap (https://cellardoorbathsupply.com)?
I'd be interested in Apple Fest, Lavender Pumpkin, October Road, Once Bitten, Pumpkin Chai Latte, Pumpkin Guts, or Samhain Hard Cider in soap or candle form!
9/16/17
Favorite gemstones? Answered this one in my questionnaire!
If you enjoy jewelry do you like discrete and elegant, flashy and gaudy, small and light, or large and chunky? I rarely wear jewelry.
Any love of pirates or SCA? I like pirates, but I wouldn't say that I have a love of them.
Is there anything you would like from Disney World? Not from Disney World specifically, but my favorite Disney films are Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, and The Sword in the Stone. I'm a huge Alice fan.
Are you a Potterhead? If so, to which house do you belong? I am a Potterhead. I was lucky enough to see the Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour in London in April! Now I just have to get myself to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter one day. My House is Ravenclaw.
How do you feel about chokers? No, thank you!
9/15/17
Do you like to cook and/or bake? Could you use any specific ingredients (spices, oils, salts, extracts, etc.) or kitchen utensils/gadgets? I like to cook, but I love to bake! I'll have to think about this question some more.
Here's a few questions from me: Would you like some Halloween or other themed decor in the form of a banner, something like this http://www.etsy.com/...n-decor-vintage? If so, would you prefer a traditional style or a vertical door type?
No, thank you!
Do you live near a Trader Joe's? If not, are you interested in trying any of the numerous Pumpkin goodies they come out with this time every year?
I am able to make it to Trader Joe's, but that doesn't mean that I object to receiving even more of PUMPKIN ALL THE THINGS. (Except for the pumpkin pecan oatmeal. That pumpkin product is vile.) I try to stock up on it every year, but since I was in Germany last year and didn't get to experience a Pumpkinocalypse, I am even more pumped for pumpkin than usual.
9/14/17
Do any of you potential Witchees have any kitties, puppers, or youngling humans you want spoiled in your packages? What treats or toys do they like? I have cats. Some Halloween-themed cat toys could be nice.
Is there any interest in any of the fragrance oils from the Nocturne Alchemy Weenies update? No, thank you! My BPAL addiction is expensive as it is, so I don't want to fall in love with another company with huge perfume oil updates.
Is there anything you want from the trading post (or trading post etsy) that is available to order right now? (Fatherhood, Puppers, normal GC things)
From the TP Etsy: Key Lime Pie perfume oil, Delayed at Ingolstadt Air Field atmo (I just used up my bottle)
Puppers: Pa Pow HG, Pickle HG, Wednesday HG (any amount!)
Normal GC things: Lakeside atmo, Think Snow For Me atmo, Bitches Love Unicorns shirt (ladies crew neck, size M)
9/13/17
Are you a gamer? If so, what games are you currently playing and is there any merch for that game you'd love to have?-
If you are a gamer do you have a steam/gamestop/amazon wishlist? I am not a gamer.
How do you feel about the following scarf options (assuming you're into scarves)? While I appreciate scarves, I live in too hot of a climate to ever wear them! Simple eyelet scarf Chevron scarf Lacy and fuzzy Skinny rib knit (extra long for lots of wrapping) Leafy!
Like beer? What styles most appeal to you? I do not like beer.
Like booze? What kinds? Not really. I only really drink mixed drinks every great once in a while at restaurants or concerts.
Like Wine? What kinds? I like white wine (like Riesling) and sweet reds (it doesn't have to be sweet, but I don't like the dry ones -- one of my favorite reds is the Onyx Moon red wine they have at Trader Joe's).
Would you be interested in a set of hand-made hair falls? It's something I do for fun and I can make any length and do an array of colors! No, thanks!
For those who watch certain movies every year for Halloween, what are those movies, whether horror or not? Any favorite horror movies that aren't necessarily on the annual-viewing list? How do you feel about fan-made merch for these movies?
Horror movies are not mah jam. I scare easily. I really like The Nightmare Before Christmas, though!
9/12/17
Here's a great local soapmaker I love--y'all see anything you would like? https://littleseedfarm.com/
The vanilla bean and lavender soaps sound nice.
What are your favorite/preferred Halloween/autumn icons/images? Any to specifically stay away from?
I like ravens, bats, black cats, owls... mostly animal-related things. No spiders or scorpions, please!
Do you eat candy, and if so would Halloween candy be welcome? Specialty candy from local or unusual sources? Chocolate?
I do eat candy. Halloween candy would be welcome! Speciality candy would also be great! I love chocolate, as long as it's not too hot here to melt it upon arrival. *glares at desert* Milk chocolate is my favorite.
Do you want Fidget spinners, desk toys, or other frivolous things that you look at and decide you don't need enough to spend $ on but would make you happy to have? No, thank you!
Any zentangle lovers, people who would like to try it, or would you want a piece of someone else's zentangle art? No, thank you!
Any love of hair toys, clips, ribbons, fascinators, mini hats, etc? I like hair clips and mini hats.
What local goodies may be of interest? Local Honey, jams,candy? Local honey, jams, and candy all sound great to me! Raspberry jam is my favorite.
Are you interested in any subscription services like serial magazines, Birch box, ipsy? No, thank you!
Would you like funky Halloweenie costume makeup like Gothic eyelashes, nail effects, black lipstick, etc.? No, thank you!
How do you like to listen to music? CD, 8 track tape, mix tape, Pandora or Spotify, I-tunes? I still buy CDs, and I use Spotify to stream the stuff that I like from Europe that I can't get physical copies of over here without paying large shipping fees. I also have iTunes, but it's rare for me to pay for a download of an album or song. I like having the album in my hands!
Do you prefer reading on Kindle or actual book? What kind of books do you like? Would you like to be surprised with a scary, classic, horror book? I prefer actual books. Horror is not mah jam. I like fiction, sci-fi, classics, and non-fiction. I'd really love the new author's preferred edition of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere!
Candles, Incense, or wax tarts? Do you have favorite brands or Weenies scents for the home? Would you like to receive a wax tarts burner, incense burner, essential oils diffuser, or Halloweenie themed candle holders? I like candles, but do not use wax tarts. I find putting BPTP bath oils in a wax warmer scents my place better than scented wax does. I do not like incense. I already have a Weenie-themed wax warmer, but another one for another room in my apartment could be nice!
Witchee: are you interested in crafting materials? No, thank you! I'm not crafty.
9/11/17
I'm in Japan, is there anything specific from here you would want?
I love Japanese snacks, especially cookies and candy! There's these lemon-flavored chewy candies with pieces of crunchy pieces inside that I really like, and I'm a slut for green tea Okinawa cookies.
How do you feel about nail wraps?
They would not be for me. I rarely do my nails.
if you were to receive something hand knit, what type of item would you like? hat, cowl, handwarmers, etc. and what color(s)?
- would you use knitted washcloths? a scarf? Are you allergic or sensitive to any fibers?
I live in a warm climate, so I wouldn't really get much use out of something that's meant to be worn to keep one warm, but something that is intended to be used as opposed to worn would be nice.
If you could be ANY character from a film, TV show or book, who would it be and why? Probably The Doctor. I want to travel throughout time and space!
If you could hop into a time machine and travel anywhere/anytime, where would it be and why?
I'd like to travel to the Ice Age to see the large mammals and an icy landscape.
If you could invite 3 famous people to a BPAL meet and sniff, who would invite?
Do you like and/or want anything from Elements and Artifacts? You can be vague like "yes" or "no" or name specific past pieces you coveted or current ones you love, whatever works best.
No, thank you -- I don't really wear jewelry.
Would you like something hand sewn by your Witch? A dress, shirt, skirt, infinity scarf, something else?
Perhaps something Halloween-like for decoration?
Anyone want any kind of costuming accessories or makeup or odds and ends?
I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to dress up yet!
9/10/17
Are there any hobbies or crafts you've been thinking of trying, but haven't had the chance yet?
The only thing I can think of is that I would like to dive into the world of comics, but I haven't actually done so yet. I'm particularly interested in the iZombie one, since it is one of my favorite shows.
Would you want to receive a custom spell kit or magical tea? If so, what purpose would you want it to be for?
Hmm, perhaps a magical tea? I'd have to think about the purpose some more, though!
Do you like poetry?
I do!
Anyone like handmade critters, stuffed animals, or custom repaints?
Handmade critters would be great! For stuffed animals, I've had my eye on a Pumpkin Pusheen plush.
Would you enjoy any designer/specialty yarn for your own craftyness?
Alas, I am not crafty.
Would anyone like a donation made in their name to a cause or charity?
This is something I definitely would appreciate, especially if it benefits animals, the environment, and those in need.
Please provide wishes from the last two updates?
Mah wishlist is up to date!
9/9/17
Would you be interested in things from Future Primitive? (http://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk/)
Soaps (bar and whipped) and lotions (or body butters) sound great to me! I'd be curious to try Pumpkin'ead, Pumpkin Eater, and Toffee Moon Face. Sparklebox also sounds good. But Sylph. Sylph sounds AMAZING. I love sweet lavender scents, so marshmallow + lavender would be right up my alley!
Are there any UK things you'd like to get?
I would love some Cadbury Double Decker bars, Tunnock's Tea Cakes, and Mr. Kipling's Angel Slices. And this other one is probably impossible, but there's this tea room across from the British Museum in London called Tea and Tattle, and they have the most wonderful raspberry vanilla jam. I wish I had bought a jar of that while I was over there.
Are you into podcasts? If so, what are your favorites? Would you like any merch related to any of them?
I've only listened to Welcome to Night Vale. I've been meaning to get into podcasts, but I am not listening to any others at the moment!
Would you like something from Nui Cobalt Designs (https://nuicobaltdesigns.com/)?
Not at the moment!
Or maybe some of Christina's lovely Halloween candles at Sihaya & Co. (https://www.sihayaan...lection-candles)?
The Hocus Pocus and Sisterhood of the Moon candles sound really good (especially the Hocus Pocus one)!
ILNP? Who would love one of their awesome holos like MEGA or one of their amazing chromes? http://www.ilnp.com/
I rarely paint my nails, and I tend to mess them up rather quickly when I do, so this would not really be for me.
9/8/17
Do you enjoy stationery? I'm thinking cute/quality notebooks, washi tape, stickers, fun pens etc.
Fun pens would be nice! I was just eyeing some Pusheen pens the other day. Something with a fine tip that would be good for writing on those little circular perfume oil labels would be nice, too!
Are you interested in anything from Cocoa Pink? I would be up for trying one of their lotions!
- Or Haus of Gloi? I love their Ghost Puffs pumpkin butter and whipped soap! I'm also curious about the Ghost Puffs bathing dust. Aside from their Fall Collection, I really like their Aether (unscented) pumpkin butter and Lavender Sugar pumpkin butter.
Would you be interested in a Halloween wreath?
While I would love one, I live in an apartment complex, and I'm not sure I would trust it not to be stolen off of my door.
Have you seen this: https://www.bustle.c...llection-80733? (Lush Halloween collection.) And what would you like?
I used to be a major Lush addict (it's what led me to BPAL...), but now only get items every great once in a while, usually through the end-of-the-year sale. I'd love the Secret Arts jelly bomb (I am curious what a jelly bomb will be like!), the Bewitched bubble bar (love that it's a black cat shape!), Ectoplasm jelly bomb, Hedgewitch soap, and Pumpkin bath bomb.
9/7/17
Are you interested in anything from the Moonalisa Halloween update?
I have only ever tried one of their soap samples that was kindly given to me via a swap. I would be interested in trying Blood Orange & Cotton Candy, Carnival Cakes, Late Harvest, Pumpkin Clafouti, Rumpkin!, Smoked Apple Vanilla, and Witches Milk in a 4in1, Butter Rich Cream, Conditioner, or Potion Lotion form.
What are your coffee and/or tea preferences? Coffee: whole beans or ground? Flavor and roast preferences? Tea: black, green, herbal, flavors? Loose leaf or tea bags? Anything specific you don't like? Are you in need of any gadgetry?
I can't drink coffee, but I'm a tea addict. I like every tea except for rooibos, mate, or pu-ehr. My favorite teas are green, white, and herbal flavors (but generally not straight teas -- bits of non-berry fruits, flowers, and herbs are preferable, for instance, a green Earl Grey). I drink loose leaf tea and have a ton of tea gadgetry.
9/6/17
How would you feel about receiving a hand-painted container for your bpal and/or other treasures?
- would you want a big wood box (~50 bottles), a small wood box (~20 bottles) or a tin for carrying imps around?
That would be neat! All of those options sound nice, but a tin or some kind of case for carrying imps would probably be best. I've just been using the little goblin pouches from the Trading Post when I travel.
Who is into K-Beauty (Korean beauty products like sheet masks)
- What are your faves if you are?
- If you aren't would you like to try something?
I'm not sure what K-Beauty consists of, but I'd be up for trying something (as long as it is cruelty-free)!
What are some NEW things you've gotten interested in this year? Could be anything, from a new hobby, new genre of book, new healthy way of living, new fav brand of whatever...
I'm interested in baking with less sugar, and trying out new recipes in general has been something I've been enjoying this year. I haven't immersed myself in the world of comics yet, but that's another thing I would enjoy getting into -- I'm especially interested in reading the iZombie comics, since I like the show so much.

What are your feelings about Scooby Doo?
It's okay. There are lots of other cartoons that I enjoy a lot more.
How do you feel about indie makeup (read: loose eyeshadow, blush, highlighter)?
I like indie make-up, but I fear I have too much of it and don't wear it often enough. I don't use blush, but a new black, purple, or deep red eyeshadow would be nice.
I drink this stuff almost everyday would anyone else be interested in trying it out? https://www.criobru.com/
Alas, I can't drink coffee, so I don't have anything to brew this coffee-alternative.

Would you like one of the Halloween Teeturtle shirts?

I think the Boo Bees shirt is cute. I wear a size S in unisex shirts and a M in women's sizes, although unisex shirts are the safest way to ensure a shirt will fit me.
