Switch Witch: Halloween 2011!
Dear beloved Witch,
From now on, I only will be answering a selected part from all those questions. There are so many, and so many that aren't relevant for me, so I will be only posting those that I think are interesting.
Hope you don't mind!
I also figured that I need to highlight anything new in my blog, because I edit previous questions sometimes!
The Wishing
* BPAL, Moona Lisa, Villainess & Haus of Gloi on ScentBase!
* All different stuff on Etsy!
* Books on The Book Depository!
Random things I'd
Something to put some imps in when I travel, things that are shaped as a leaf or a feather, make-up and brush organising things, photo frames, a pretty cigarette case.
The Questions

"If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies."
Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...
My dream candle would smell like a moist cake fresh from the oven, with whipped cream. It would be green with beige swirls, in a weckpot with multiple wicks, and it would have a great throw.
Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?
I'd love them! I've allways wanted a slouchy hat, but I also would love legwarmers or earmitts. I'd love them in black, red, purple, blue, green.. but more dark tones, not too bright. I also really like very long scarves.

I haven't read comics in a really long time, but I would be interested in trying some if I'd bump into them.
Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?
I am not musical at all, but if I could learn to play one instrument it would be the violin.
Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?
I don't have a garden, but I'd love something you can grow (like herbs) behind the window!
Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?
Halloween isn't really celebrated over here in The Netherlands, but I am playing with the thought of decorating. I would make it cozy with things like pumpkin-shaped candleholders and such things.

Some brands I totally love are MAC, NARS, Haus of Gloi, BPTP, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics.. I am pretty fair and yellow-based (MAC NC15/NC20), and I have medium warm brown hair.
Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?

I bet I will love them, I've allways wanted to go to one, but somehow it just never happens..
I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific!
I am also fond of the thrift, so I wouldn't mind lightly used goods, as long as they are clean of course. The only thing I wouldn't like used are undies.
Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?
I don't have one, but I suppose LaBellaCandela, miwoodcrafts, RitualBath, sweetsnthings, jewelofthelion, Hortons Farm and guyincognito would be nice!
Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

I am not really that familiar with Halloween candy, but I love marshmellows and candy corn! Oeh and I spicy stuff! Or sour candy!
Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.
I do not really like solid soap most of the times (they dry me out, although I have heard that Moona Lisa's must be really good), but I do like things like whipped soaps. I also like showergels and the like. My favorite brands for these are Haus of Gloi and 100% Pure. I adore fruity scents and foody scents for under the shower, but also nutty scents or spicy ones. The only scent family I don't like for this are florals.
How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?
I do not like peanut butter, but I do like the rest listed. I also love weird ingredients like pink pepper and such.
Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?
I don't currently use beads, but I could think of something to make if I got my hands on some pretty small glass ones in warm colors!

Nopes.
Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!
I've never had a chance to try them but I'd love to give them a go.

I love them!

Roses, butterflies, blossom, curly patterns, leafs.
Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?
Yes!
If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?
I like green/light coloured teas, like camomille, mint, herbal mixes.. I could use tea bags as well as loose tea (I would actually prefer the loose one).
How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?
Allways welcomed!

Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?
Yes, I love to try new stuff!

Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?
Glee!
How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in?
Although I am 20 years old, I love them, especially kitties or a cute seal. I really love the style of the WWF plushies, for example.
How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels?
It's a bit of a tic, but I'd like everything in my box labelled the same way it is now: handwritten on the caps with a silver marker. So I gotta pass for this one.
When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most?

What constitutes ultimate luxury to you?
A bath. Like seriously. I only have a tiny half-broken shower, and I have a lot of aches in my back and tummy, and then, a bath is the ultimate! I would even rent a room somewhere for a night just because it has a great bath. I have never bathed in a BPTP bath, and I am dieying to do that.. a very hot hot bath, with Snake Oil bath oil for example, and a lot of candles!
What do you really NOT want?
Non-perfume oils, so the ones with alcohol in it (I even smell it in Dior or Chanel, I cannot stand those alcoholic perfumes anymore).
Interested in anything from Lush?
The only thing (because, actually, I am just done with Lush) I would be interested in, is trying their new dry shampoo.
Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?
I do not blog.
Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark?
Yes!! I like reading, and allways use a receipt or anything like that as one.. so.. I could use one that's pretty!

I heard so many bad things about Groupon, that I'd rather stay away from it.

I haven't tried real sugar skulls, but I want to! I do not like them as a design, however.
Who here adores meringue?
Me!
Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific?

Sounds like something nice, I could be interested in one!

I am forced to like it by my boyfriend, lol. I like to watch it sometimes, but I am not really into it. Although I think Darth Vader is pretty cool, and R2D2 is cute!
Do you like beef jerky?
I am a bit sentimental about beef jerky.. I only tried it once, I was a little kid, I don't know exactly how old, maybe 8 or so, and my mom had a friend in the States who sent packages every now and then. They allways were a true feast to open, and once, I got to try beef jerky. It was delicious. It was the hard crispy kind, so I'd love to eat it again, 12 years later!
Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work?
Yes, and please warn me if it's NSFW, since I work at an office.

Nay...
Anyone love Buffy/Angel?
I don't really know Angel, but Buffy seems o.k.

How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?
I'd love anything to pimp my old laptop!
Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney?
I am more on the dark and sinister side, when it comes to Halloween.
Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?
I have two holes in each ear (just on the bottom, no top ones), and jewelery for these is very welcome.
How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?
I have never tried them, but they look delicious on the Google pics!
Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?
You can allways make me happy with Disney classics or a good horror movie, and oh, I also like post-apocalyptic movies/nature disaster ones. My collection is really tiny, so I'd love a DVD!
Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?
I like postcards, but I am not willing to be a Nacho at this moment (first time SW is enough for me now).
Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?
I would love to, but I haven't planned anything yet.
Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?

Yes, I would like one, for example of kittens, a nature scene, something fantasy, etc.

Yes, I like t-shirts. I like sayings on them, or something like the Tree of Life, for example. A size M in a BPTP Weeping Branches Moon burn-out tee, it fits me perfectly.
How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....
When I say: SQUUUUEEE, is that enough?
Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?
Just checked it out, and I totally love the concept!
If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK?
I love foreign things! When I think about the UK, I think Coleman's Mustard (the one in powder form)! Yum! But I would love random stuff, like a specific kind of candy or anything that is well known in your area, or other local stuff!
Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?
I think I like full socks better, because my toes get very cold really easily.
Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?
They are not really my thing.
Sock preferences?
Cute socks, girly, over-the-knees, lace, bows, black, white, pink, fluffy homesocks...
What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?
The only thing I can think of now that is somewhat strange is a Myrabelle mascara shield.
How do you feel about franken polish?
I don't really wear nail polish.
Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm?
I love lipbalm, I can't live without. Especially in fall/winter, my lips tend to go really dry and cracked if I don't care for them the way I should. I like the twist-up ones the best, the pots not so much (because I get dirty fingers, and I hate that). I like fruity or foody flavours, I wouldn't like one with banana, but for the rest I think anything goes! Currently, I am really loving my Haus of Gloi lipbalm in Honeyed Peach. I'd definately want more from those! And I guess an extra lipbalm never hurts! I am using 2 lipbalms at the moment, but I think using about 4 or 5 wouldn't be that bad.
Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?
Oh I'd love a fountain pen! I don't have one at the moment, but I really like them. *goes at Googles for JetPens & DickBlick* These sites look cool, I'd definately like some beautiful fountain pen!
I also want to tell about an old hobby of mine. I used to craft Pergamano things about 5 years ago. If you don't know it, please look it up, you can do beautiful things with it! It's all about making cards and boxes from perkament paper, writing and drawing on it with inks, punching holes and all that stuff. I was really creative with it at that time and had quite a lot of inks and pens and other stuff for it. But then, due to life circumstances, I lost my creativity and sold all my stuff. And how, every time I see a crafting store, I have to think about it, how much fun it was, and how I'd love to pick it up again. Point is, you really need several inks and tools to make it work, so I'd need to collect them one by one. I've really been hating myself for selling it, lol.
For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself?
I am not into watercolors.
How do you feel about getting art supplies in general?
I would love some! Also see the part about Pergamano and mandala's. Copic markers seem beautiful for those!
How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?
I feel a n00b having to look up a lot that comes through in these questions that I've never heard of! *goes and looks for website* Ah, now I understand the concept! To give an idea of my style: I'd for instance love the designs 'Architecture of a Dream', 'Exclamation!', 'Psychedelic Garden' and 'Field Study 01'. Oh and I love the more bodyconsious designs, loose fit is not a problem, as long as it's true to size. I am not into men's tees.
If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up?
I'd probably go for some hair dye, in a warm brown color. I am not that into drugstore make-up brands. Oeh, or hair accesoires. Believe it or not, but I haven't even got a single bobby pin. Really need to get those.
Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature?
I am really not into green beans, garlic or asparagus, but freshly canned fruits? Yes please! I use to sometimes tear a can of peaches open and eat them out of the can, lol.
Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract?
I love both color and black & white. I tend to go for nature, but also like abstract as long as you can still see what it is.
Would you be interested in something like Lost Crates?
Yes, I love to try new things!
Amigurumi, yes or no?
They are a-do-ra-ble!!!
What are some of your favorite paintings?
Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening by Salvador Dali, and also the painting underneath by Dali. I don't know the title, but CaudaPavonis painted in on my BPAL box !
If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?
That's a really hard question, but I would love a huge long-stretched painting with butterflies, and their wings would be covered with iridescent foil, so that it would catch the light really beautifully.
Name your 3 favorite scents for candles.
Something with cinnamon, something cookie and a woody/nutty one.
Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea.
Evening blend (with cinnamon, apple, herbs, all the good stuff), Moroccan mint, and some blend called Starry Mix (which is very relaxing). Oh and I really enjoy a good forest berry tea, but that is 4 flavours then, hihi.
Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes?
I haven't tried anything from them, but I'd love to! I heard so many good things! The bamboo powder brush seems very appealing. Oeh and they have moisture gloves, too! Would love to try those as well.
Do you like Legos?
Gently said, I don't like them.
What would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death?
A bottle of Halloween: Las Vegas, Miskatonic University, animp of Molly Grue and one of Halfling, and some wandcaps.
Are there any characters that you love or identify with?
Not really.
If you are crafty, what's your personal art style?
As mentioned before, my creativity died a bit, but I am still being creative on my face
. Mostly, I pick a certain product (an eyeshadow or lipproduct) that I want to build the look around. Or I see something at Youtube or in a magazine that inspires me. I create many looks, from just going to work and keeping it simple, to a very glittery eye, or just random colours all over my face. It is kinda therapeutic.Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?
I don't really plan to dive in another company for perfumes, because the Lab and the Post are really enough for me, haha. So I have no clue what they brought out for Halloween.
So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?
It would be great, but I suppose at least a tiny bit of planning would be required.
Cthulhu: yay or nay?
Nay.
Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off?
Getting our home ready to move out. Don't be scared dear Witch, we didn't even find a house yet (and that sucks), so there will not be an adress change in this SW round. But we have a lot of stuff, a lot of unsorted stuff especially, that we need to get through and throw away and pack in boxes, but it's a hell lot of work and we are really busy with other things, or too tired from doing those other things. I bet finding a house would give some motivation!

So as you can see, I am very widely oriëntated when it comes to music.
Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon?
Didn't make an order jet, just signed up for decant circles. I think I will be ordering my big Weenie order before everything goes down, when there are more reviews to read and I have sniffed my decants.
Do you have any interest in rocks?
Even rough ones, that aren't unpolished can be beautifully shaped by nature.
If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?
I do not prefer the one over the other, really. I'd both love thinner scarfs and thicker ones. The thinner ones, I could wear in the office (super airco over there) and the thick ones outside. I allso like those really big chunky scarves, but also the really thin drape-y ones. I'd love warm, earthy tones, like deep orange-red or moss green. I do not have any fiber allergies.
Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like?
Don't own them, would like some for Halloween, but that's about it, so I wouldn't end up buying some.
How do you feel about terrariums?
I like them, but I feel they are too small looking most of the times.
What's your favorite horror movie?
I liked Itchi the Killer and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include?
Haus of Gloi's whipped soaps, MAC Cleanse-Off Oil Tranquil, cotton pads, MAC Studio Moisture Fix Moisturiser, mint tea.
Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?
Nay.
I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind?
Yes, I'd love one! Maybe something with butterflies, cats and like.. below the clouds the sun shines, kinda thing?
Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?
I like the Victorian period.
If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?
Berry Patch, Buttercream Cupcake, Honey Nut & Marshmellow or Spice Trade, Vanilla Bean, Bonfire & Suede.
If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?
Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening by Salvador Dali! I mentioned it before but I truely love this one. It would have pomegranate (the pomegranate), honey (the bumblebee) and marshmellow (the dream) in it, along with some other stuff that Beth is better at thinking of then I am!
Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc?
Yes I am! When I was a kid, I had a little set that I could grow my own crystals from. It was really fun. I remember it so well! I would love a little project like that!
What's 'your' song/your theme song?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehm.... I think.. Paul Simon's Graceland. And, together with my boyfriend, Chris Isaac's Wicked Game.
What would be your superpower?
To fly! I allways dreamt of it when I was a kid. And my boyfriend is afraid of flying, so sometimes I am afraid that I never will fly, LOL.
Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt?
If the design is cute, I'd L.O.V.E. a BPAL shirt! Used or not, it's fine by me!
Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts!
Yes I love them! I don't have really any don'ts I can think of right now. I'd even love some dried banana (because I hate banana normally). I love raisins, ginger, macadamia's... but really, try me on allmost anything!
Do you like charm bracelets?
No, they are not really my thing.
If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes?
Yes! I'd love one for my Ipod or phone (I have an old Nokia). I'd love some curly design on the fabric. I totally love organza (on top of another stronger fabric) or felt. I also like roses, or nature-things like trees and birds.
Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?
Sure!
If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather?
I haven't got a clue what spoonfeather is, and neither does Google.
Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like?
It really depends on what it's for. I really don't hate any colour, but my favorites at the moment are autumn colours, like red, orange (but no neon, more a natural orange), green, purple, gold...
An inspirational picture here...What is your favorite word?
Don't really have one, but flabbergasted comes to mind.
What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?
Yes! Colours as in the colour question, or black. I'd both like elegant sleek ones or scrunchy edgy wooly ones. I am also really flexible in style as well, as long as it's not a rainbow. I'd love to be able to wear it at work, but we are quite flexible what to wear there. Just don't want people staring at me, haha *wink*!
Do you like tarts? Tealights? Jar candles? Votives?
Yes, yes, yes and yes!
What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?
Oh, as in, pick one? I'd pick sour!
So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff?
I am a gamer, but I think purchaseble in-game items are a bit of a rip-off. But that's just personal.
Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon/the start of fall?
Not really, except really enjoying all the beautiful colours around me, and enjoying autumn things like hot tea and wearing my Sockfeetz!
What is your favorite roast of coffee?
I am really not familiar with roasts at all, allthough I drink coffee sometimes. But I rarely do, sometimes I take a ristretto. I love strong, powerful blends.
Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?
Those plushies are really cute!
I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?
Normally I wouldn't want other perfumes than BPAL, but I had some perfumes and they were great. But the scent list is sooooo long! I'd love something foody!
What's your favorite kind of pizza?
I don't eat pizza.
Who is your style/fashion icon?
Dita Von Teese is the only one I can think of right now.
Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?
There are many of them, but I am especially bummed that I am not able to get very hot food over here. I love to make Indian curry's, for example, and I eat chutney and sometimes pickles with it. I am in total love with the pickles: the lemon variantion. And I allways eat the mango chutney from Patak's, but I wish there would be hotter variations to try where I live. The supermarket only has 2 variations or so, and we don't have a lot of toko's over here.
How do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?
What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel?
Sound cute!

Eh, not much. A blanket, if that counts! And some pink undies and black over-the-knee-socks.
Kerchiefs?
Why not?
It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?
Take the most decadent luxurious arrangement at a beauty spa!

Calling my old teacher to do after my certificate, preparing the house for moving, place a Haus of Gloi order, making some whoopie pies!
Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves?
Yes, yes and yes!
Do you have any bedtime rituals?
Often, I drink a large mug of tea, I take my pill, take off my make-up, brush my teeth, brush my hair, kiss my boyfriend goodnight and set my alarm. I don't wear anything special, just a pair of knickers mostly (yes, also in winter, but otherwise I feel like I am being strangled or something).
Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?
I am not familiar with these.
Princess Bride? Yay or nay?
No opinion (I don't know it).
What's your favorite classic fairytale?
Snow White and the seven dwarves.
Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?
Jelly Beans!
Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?

Milk chocolate, macadamia nuts, pecan nuts, 23 karat gold flakes, diced ginger and caramel pieces. Oh drool!
Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?
I am an Expressive.
Do you drink wine?
Yes. I only drink red wine when I eat out and have something like a steak, though.
I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that?
Me!
Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?
Hell, yes!
What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?
The Candy Corn Stripes, Opaque Diamond Tights, Wide Stripe Thigh Highs and Lycra Sheer Woven Hearts Stockings with Satin Bows.
Revealing?
I would like my Witch to reveal him/herself, because I would love to thank him/her for everything. But it's up to you, dear!
Would you like anything from Tookies by Tookies on Etsy?
OMG YES! How cute is that! There are a lot of things I would like, but cake in a jar is just genius (and safe to ship, too)! Oeh and marshmellows!
For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?
Yes, I like Yankee Candle, and I'd choose candles (but I like both).
Any interest in WhimsyBeading, the Etsy shop?
Yes I am interested in some items, I added them to my Etsy favorites.
How do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?
Yes I could be.
Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?)
Yes I have only one bag, and it's plump and ugly and boring. And I also like Chico Bags, but they are too small for my regular grocery shopping.
Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?
I am, but only in testing it first.
Any thoughts on the new Villainess update?
Yay! Candles!
Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series?
Yes, I did a bit. Still need something to take some imps in on the go, but they were too expensive for me at that time.
Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!
I am very excited about both!
Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?
No, I am not ebarrassed quickly.
Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there?
I could like Chili Tingle, Pow Wow, Buche de Noel and Celebrate Lip Tint.
But, who here would LOVE to get Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses, and who would rather not??
Yes I would love some!
I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee?
It's kind of hard to not put a huge list here, haha! But there are some things I have been eyeing lately. I would love a BeautyBlender! I have also been wanting to try something from Illamasqua, but I wouldn't know where to start. I also would love to buy a Tweezerman pair of tweezers someday, with a cute design on them. Oh, and one of the most useless, but beautiful and amazing items I have seen: Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Dust. Especially the gold or silver one, gorgeous for the holidays! And those Violent Lips tattoos seem very fun to play around with!
The best thing I ever ate: hot spicy indian food.
What is your favorite kind of cookie?
I allmost like all cookies. But I do love Oreo's, and just those with a thick layer of frosting on them.
How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out?
As long as the ziplocks are clean, I wouldn't mind.
Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?
Red Lantern, White Chocolate & Strawberry, Ghoulish, Monsterbait: Bloody Mary, Earth Ox, Milk Chocolate Buttercream, White Chocolate Marshmellow & Coconut, Midway, Fire Eater, Romanti.Goth. But, to make a top three, that would be Midway, Red Lantern and Ghoulish.

White KinderBueno, Oreo's, Cote D'or and Rafaello.
Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read?
Well, I don't read any at the moment, but I would love some of the Dark Delicacies titled books (or Stephen King, but I mentioned that before I think)! The scariest I ever read was about 10 years ago, about some crazy experiment.. well, it was scary back then, haha (I was 10)!
