Hi Witch, hope this helps!

 

September 14th

 

Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?

Hmm...

Driven, Determined, Quirky, Crass, Leader, Pet lover, Gamer, Spiritual, Fun, Chocoholic

 

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?

Yes please! Anything not tequila!

 

What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.)

I like fudge AND brownies. Chocoholic. I live in Indiana so it's pretty much betwee 40-70 F right now. It would fare alright. I like marshmallow chocolate fudge or nuts in anything (plus nuts in it ensure my hubby won't nom it all :P )

 

Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?

I have never tried it!

 

Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE

See wishlist, updated it to reflect.

 

Does anyone like kimchi?

I never have tried it, but I'm going to lean towards no.

 

Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?

I'm not sure what this is. I'll look into it. I do enjoy samples though :P

 

You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?

Oh gosh. 3 Bottles of Dorian and then one of everything else :P In all seriousness it'd be a GC fest: Morocco, Sudha Segara, Sea of Glass, Black Pearl, Obatala, Embalming Fluid, Velvet...I'd get all my favorites :) And the Trading Post soaps and TKO Massage Oil.

 

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?

I briefly looked at the website and it looked interesting. I also like the sound of the goat's milk lotion...

 

Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes?

I am not too into sports though soccer is getting under my skin.

 

How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?

LOVE. I can never have too many journals or notebooks.

 

Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?

They make me twitch and get neurotic, actually. Hate cleaning it up.

 

Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?

I have never received anything from MeiLin.

 

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?

I like them in theory but generally if I don't hide them away my cat will come molest them. It's sad. I do like turtles and frogs and toads and big cats though :P

 

how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?

No thanks!

 

When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most?

Soup. Tea. Heating pads. Drugs :P

 

What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!)

Oh ma god, a day at the Woodhouse spa. I can rarely afford it, but I'd get the big ole spa package. Mmmm Swedish massage!

 

What do you really NOT want?

Muppets. Puppets. Spiders. Hair things.

 

 

September 13th

 

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?

I could use some hotpads for the kitchen. Seriously. I can always use dish towels or kitchen towels too.

 

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?

I kind of hate dress up.

 

Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc)

Not too much, sorry :(

 

Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?

Yes! I love mugs!

 

 

September 12th

 

Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?

Indeed! I have a Nook!

 

If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now?

No kids.

 

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)

ooh!I like #1,2,5!

 

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?

I really like Art Deco and Art Nuveau.

 

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'm pretty open to trying teas. I can do loose leaf. I like fruity herbal more than strong.

 

September 11th

 

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)

Lightly used is awesome.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?

Nope.

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

I would squee.

 

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?

Hmm...pixie stix. Blowpops. Smarties. Sweet Tarts...CHOCOLATE.

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.

I like both. I really enjoy Arcana and Haunt soaps and I use scrubs more than shower gels. Villainess Smooches are nice. I also take A LOT of baths so I like salts and soaks.

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?

I like it chocolaty :P Really not picky but I do enjoy Dark Chocolate with almonds or hazelnuts and I like dried cherries/blueberries/cranberries in it.

 

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?

Nope, sorry!

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!

Not my favorite.

 

Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?

I love purples and fall colors and of course I'd enjoy a wrap :)

 

This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?

I enjoy stones. Either pretty ones found in nature or polished ones.

 

And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?

Not sure, I like anything Whedonesque :)

 

Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?

What is this?

are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?

If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase?
