Note to my witch: sorry for being so slow to respond on some of these. I hope you weren't asking any of the time critical questions (like "do you want anything in my Sephora order?"). Still recovering from my in-law visit last week and a cold and I haven't had the mental energy to do a whole lot of question answering...

 

Oh, and also, the Vegan Month of Food has begun! So I am (food) blogging again daily, just for this month. I doubt it's terribly relevant to you, but if you're interested, my blog is here.

 

October 3rd

 

Does anyone else like collector Barbies?

 

Nope. Never a Barbie fan. The only interest I ever had in them (as a child) was making clothing for them.

 

What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?

 

See my post about 10 under $10.

 

Also, quart sized plastic baggies. Also, a ball of rubber bands. I thought of both of these yesterday and was like "I should put these on my SW wish list!" and then was like "that is crazy, my witch is going to think I'm a 90 year old woman who pays for everything with her change purse full of pennies." Let's not be silly. I don't have a change purse.

 

Tarot

 

Yes? I generally really like tarot themed imagery. I'm not particularly spiritual or superstitious, I don't believe that tarot cards actually tell you anything about what will happen, but I think they're a great tool for organizing your thoughts about a situation and/or having someone else help you think about your situation.

 

Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.

 

Heh. Isn't this what this whole questionnaire is?

 

The first thing that came to mind, probably because it's morning: I love snuggling with my kid while he's sleeping. There's just something so damn peaceful about the whole thing. Listening to him breathe so evenly, murmur in his sleep, feeling how warm he is (always like 10 degrees warmer than me), I find it impossible to think about or worry about very much at all. For someone who thinks about and worries about EVERYTHING too much, this is priceless.

 

If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?

 

No idea what MMU means in this context. I once programmed a virtual Memory Management Unit but you're probably not talking about computer architecture...

 

Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn?

 

Oh, yum. I don't actually have a microwave (strange but true) but that stuff sounds tasty as hell.

 

October 2nd

 

Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???

 

My sister-in-law works there! I love some of their stuff but she tends to find the best things and give them to us for holidays, so I'm probably all set...

 

Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?

 

It's funny, I was just thinking about Nocturne Alchemy last night while falling asleep. They're one of the only perfume companies I've had much luck with other than BPAL.

 

I'd love to smell Sekhmet's Sorcery, Anubis Tabasheer pumpkin (blood carrot?!), Isis Sanatalum Pumpkin, Maat's Opal Pumpkin, Osiris Crimson Pumpkin, and Nine Bows. Probably don't need a whole bottle of them though-- while I've had good luck with NA, it's still a little hit or miss for me.

 

What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?

 

Really digging:

Pirate Skulls knee highs

Kawaii Skeleton OTK in plain ol' white bones

 

I love the spiderweb fishnetty ones too but have no idea where on earth I'd wear them to.

 

Luck charms?

 

Not sure what the question is here? Witch, if this is you, please expand on your question...

 

Does anyone want anything from... here...?

 

Those are totally adorable, but alas, not vegan.

 

For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?

 

No! Actually, I generally find Yankee Candles to be the worst of the worst... tooooo strongly scented and too chemically for me to handle.

 

Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? (Whimsey beading)

 

Sure! I love the style of necklace they have in the pictures for their gift certificates.

 

Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?

 

Well, there are always more fish in the sea... but there's nothing pending on my to-download list. Oh, I take that back. I'd really like a copy of Garbage's second album (Garbage 2.0) which I have purchased like eight times in various formats and yet do not seem to currently own.

 

Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?

 

Not that I can think of, though I love seeing interesting cookbooks...

 

Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?

 

Hmmm. I think I'm pretty hard to embarass with purchases.

 

Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there?

 

I'd be interested in trying Glogg... I missed it last year and it sounds great.

 

And Gingerbread House bubble bar. *drool*

 

if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts?

 

Heh heh. Hot nuts.

 

I love candied nuts, but of course, vegan. They're actually very, very easy to veganize.

 

October 1st

 

Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?

 

Lots of things I hadn't heard of! But I think I've recorded them all in my various blog posts here...

 

Reveal?

 

Think I mentioned this in-thread, but I'd love a reveal. I don't care if you do a reveal package or not (always nice to get, but not a necessity) but I'd love to know who you are!

 

Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?

 

Naw. I think it's a really sweet idea but patchouli and chocolate... not great notes for me.

 

Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try?

 

Nope... no goat milk.

 

September 30th

 

Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?

 

Sounds quite lovely to me. I'd love to try a decant.

 

You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?

 

See: 10 under 10 again.

 

how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?

 

I'm fine with it. Assuming you're asking about hemp the fiber.

 

As for marijuana culture-- pot leaf symbols, etc-- I live in Santa Cruz and am totally inundated with that kind of stuff, which I never cared for anyway. Marijuana use (recreational or medical) doesn't bother me but I am annoyed by people who need to make a big deal about it.

 

Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could?

 

French Glamour!

 

Describe your sense of humour.

 

Witty, dark, sarcastic, a little mean.

 

Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?)

 

Love reusable bags. I almost always lose chico bags. Really, people give them to me all the time and I've probably lost a dozen or more.

 

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?

 

Have I mentioned I really love some of the Philosophy bubble baths? Especially the Cinnamon Buns. Sephora used to carry that, don't know if they do now.
