Do you have a general swap-related help post somewhere?

My Switch Witch stuff is pretty close to a general swap help because there were sooooo many questions :)

 

Do you have Etsy/Amazon wishlists linked somewhere?

https://www.etsy.com/people/rebeccafoley4/favorites?ref=si_fav

http://amzn.com/w/1MPF1SEY063DM

 

Do you have a Tumblr/Pinterest you'd share with everyone (these can be really informative as to style?)

http://pinterest.com/rbecksf/

 

 

favorite candles, companies and/or candle scents?

I like foodie scents, fruity scents, some wood or plant like aspects, pretty much any kind of scent except florals.

 

favorite kinds of tea (flavors, companies)

I love tea! I'm generally a green tea with fruit kind of girl (with the exception of pineapple of course, which they use to sweeten a lot of fruity teas I have found). David's Tea is my favourite, but I'm always willing to branch out :)

 

any of the Villainess autumn or winter soaps appeal? Another soap company you'd like more?

Nothing in particular, but I wouldn't shake my head at moisturizers or scrubs.

 

Any of the bpal Halloween scents you wished you'd gotten? Any Yule scents you're hoping to see come back?

Looking forward to Lick It coming back (I have every year so far).

I was thinking about the lurid library, because I love the scent of books and old libraries in real life, but didn't want to take the plunge on a whole bottle. As for Yules, I have no idea what I would want to come back - sorry I'm kind of useless.

 

Do you like knitted items? If so, any fiber sensitivities/allergies? What kinds of items would you like?

YES!!!! If you've seen my blog for Switch Witch you will see my love for all things knitted :) No sensitivities or allergies. I also have no preferences for types of knitted things I just love everything knitted :)

 

I forgot to answer my own question about words, numbers or spatial manipulation so:

I like words and numbers. Spatial manipulation in real life I tend to kind of suck at, but in a video game it is a different story which makes very little sense to me.

 

Anything from Paintbox Soaps?

I love what I received from them as part of SW (I got a sorbetto and lotion in the English Gentleman - so awesome especially layered with Dorian). I don't need anything else especially in terms of scrubs (I just received a new Haunt scrub from my SW yesterday, so I'm good on that front), but again I don't really shake my head at things that moisturize.

 

Your package must contain "-A 'Sugar Plum' (ie a sweet treat)." With that in mind, what are some of your favorite sweet treats? Is there anything you really don't like?

I prefer dark chocolate to any other kind, preferably with salt of some sort or even caramel (like the salted caramel bar thing that is found a traders joes - I had one once and since there are no trader joes where I live I have never experienced it again :(). I also have an unhealthy obsession with all things peanut butter. I :wub2: it!!!! Basically if the sweets play with either salty or spicy (jalepeno caramels anyone? :yum:) I am there. Poke me if you need further clarification :)

 

E-reader?

No e-reader here - because I prefer real books.

 

BPTP?

Can I say everything? JK.

TKO/UGH Massage Oil

Hair Glosses (any of them particularly Snake Oil or the Fig one)

Miss Palmer's Establishment Room Spray

This question is probably better addressed in my blog posts somewhere - I'm tired and cannot comprehend the awesomeness that is BPTP right now.

 

Missed a question re Witch City Wicks:

I mostly burn candles for ritual stuff (or my attempts at ritual stuff) and I usually tend to use tealights because I can burn them in one sitting. I also do not care about scents usually for rituals as I annoint them but different colours are always nice.

 

Other perfumes?

I don't really know much about the perfumes from other etailers. However, alcohol based perfumes bother me most of the time usually with a headache or itchy wrists so I tend to stay away from them.

 

Other smelly things?

I love oil sprays for moisturizing.

 

Pirates or ninjas? Pirates definitely, unless it is a ninja pirate then I pick that. I have to pick pirates because apparently my family hundreds of years ago in Ireland were pirates so its a family tie.

 

Zombies?

I'm not obsessed but I kind of think that the walking dead is pretty awesome. I like plants vs. zombies and my BFF and I have had the what roles will we play in a zombie apocalypse situation before. So there's no hatred there. Shoot for the head!

 

Disney villain?

Scar - because Jeremy irons has an awesome voice. Although Ursula also ranks up there and gaston (I can consider him a villain right?)

 

Is there any BPAL oil that you are dying to get your hands on? It doesn't have to be a rare, just something you really want to try?

Snow White is something that I've always wanted to try, actually most things with a snow note (I've never tried a snow note before). I also wanted to try the different Christmas roses (Rose Red and Peacock Queen). Also Rogue - because leather = :yum:.

 

Do you want to see things in your box for your significant other/spouse/kids/fish/whatever? Or do you want to keep it allll about you?

I have no significant other or kids. It's just me, my parents and the cats - if you wanted to include something for them you can, but totally not necessary. Actually with the switch witch round, my mother finally understands why I love this community so much, because it truly is a community.

 

We've had a lot of questions about coffee and tea - how do you feel about other things? Cocoa, spicing for ciders, flavouring to add to water is what I mean?

I love hot chocolate!!!!!! I think I love it even more than I love tea. If there was hot chocolate in my package (especially peanut butter hot chocolate, if such a thing exists in a package you might hear my squee from Canada)

 

Would you, dear little Nightmare, like to receive something from one of those silly-yet-nostalgic Holiday food companies, like Omaha Steaks (which totally has a ton of yummy veggie items, btw!) or Swiss Colony?

I've never heard of these places (maybe because I'm Canadian).

 

It's not Christmas/Yule/Winter Solstice/Winter until... ?

December 1st is my beginning of Christmas celebrating (although working at a well known coffee chain that starts Christmas on Nov 1st kills my soul a little). Although it never truly feels like Christmas until we put up the tree and you already know about my tree nacho making tradition.

 

I swear there was a question about christmas/halloween movies- so here is my answer:

Love Actually (I think I may have mentioned that in my questionnaire), Rocky Horror (Hallowe'en), Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer (the one with the island of misfit toys), Charlie Brown's Christmas special, Mostly I love watching children's Christmas movies - the animated ones because they make me feel nostalgic and happy :)

 

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT RECEIVING MOSTLY HAND CRAFTED GOODIES?

I too love all things hand-crafted, I know I would make my package have more crafted things although I am woefully uncrafty in many departments.

 

What fandoms are you a part of????

FIREFLY!!!! But my awesome swapper already knows this (it certianly isn't hidden very well based on my Pinterest or etsy so my swapper is a great stalker)

A song of fire and ice/game of thrones

Harry potter

Mass effect

Legend of Zelda

Those are probably the main ransoms I love, but really I'm just a big nerd anyway :)

 

Are you a George RR Martin fan? What about Rocky Horror Picture Show?

YES!!!!! To both!

 

Are your ears pierced?

Yes, but the only earrings I can wear without my ears swelling up seem to be the ones that you get your ears pierced with.

 

NEW QUESTION!!! Any flavour combinations that you hate? (sorry to be a negative nellie, I just want to make sure my swappee doesn't get something she hates)

For me it's chocolate and mint, and I dislike black licorice.

 

Does your sense of humor lean more vanilla or rather dirty? Would you get offended if you were sent something more along the "mature" side (not talking toys or dirty pictures)?

Definitely a bit dirty - I'm not the most appropriate of jokesters. I find someecards hysterical - which is awesome because my swapper has already sent two! I tend to like witty humour - sarcasm, plays on words and things like that rather than slap stick comedy.
