    Strawberry Moon 2009

    In the bottle - boozy strawberries. On my skin it's a bright wet and juicy strawberry with hints of green grass. It smells like a warm summer afternoon of loving in a strawberry field. The strawberry sweetness has faded with more of the greeness coming forward with hints of flowery goodness ... its BEAUTIFUL (Thanks to my witch )

Are there designer clothes/purses/sunglasses that you desire/love? (Give some indication as to your "style" as well. For example, do you like bohemian-style frocks in lavender? Crossbody purses in black? Sunglasses that are round and bug-like?) I like all of the above, flowery skirts, gypsy style dresses, spaghetti dresses, blouses, cow boy boots, long chunky necklaces, anything really.

Pomana If you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears? Yes You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? It depends if it was business or pleasure. If it was business I have a great black pencil dress that I would wear with a very fitted pinstripe jacket and a long necklace and top it with killer heels. If it was personal then either a pretty flowery sundress or jeans and heels. You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? Anthrapologie. A pretty empire flowery flowing form fitting sundress, a long beaded necklace, a cute pair of sandals, wedge heels or boots. Examples: Dress Dress 2 Dress 3 You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). Cowboy boots, ceramic egg cups, a pretty cover for my Nook Color.

Anything you would be interested in from there? Anything. If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? If you have doggies, would they like a super-reinforced canvas toy with a squeaker in it? I have 2 rats so anything for rodents. If you have kids, what are they into? 2 boys so anything: Disney Cars, Star Wars, anything with flashing lights. How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like? YES! I love shawls and wraps. Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want? Sure. Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Glambie knows me pretty well Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? Love them. Large would be perfect. What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? I like milk chocolate with nuts. But generally any chocolate is perfect. I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? I’ve heard of all of these places but have none nearby so have never been. Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? Don’t mind. I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! A few tank tops, candle wax/tarts (for warmers), some stationary and stickers What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like) And, what are your favorite restaurants? Love love Indian Restaurants and Chinese. Pub food too. I love Zaxby’s, Long Horn, Outback … pretyy much any food place. I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? Not that I can think of. What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? I want a shirt from Teefury so badly but haven’t got one yet. I would prefer something girlie but would love anything from there. Do you have an eReader and if so which one? I have a Nook Color and I love it, but I still love real books. Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? I love my scentsy warmer (that I use Walmart wax on and it works fine) But we love candles too. Especially in winter time! Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin "paper" towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter? That would be awesome. Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail (for example, PA doesn't). Love drinking but we’re not big drinkers … and I can’t handle my alcohol very well. But sure you can send some. Marzipan? It’s ok. If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? Sure. If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? Anything! Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out? If you want. I have two sons (3 ½ and 1 ½) and a DH. How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Anything local or special to you. Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. Sure. I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them? Thanks but no thank-you Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? Any animal, sure. Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? I love Claude Monet (“Water Lillies” and the “Chinese Bridge”) I love Klimts “Kiss” and all the beautiful garden and cottage paintings of Thomas Kinkade. I love landscapes or anything happy. I also love photographs (color and B&W) Chinese Bridge Still kicking myself that DH and I went to Paris and I didn't go to the gallery that had his works Water Lillies The Kiss Thomas Kinkade Random landscape photo that I like. If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? Anything … but if you need inspiration, anything pretty or mythical or geeky (MLP, Star Wars, fairies, Unicorns ect.) Ninjas or Pirates? I love both but I’d have to say PIRATES! Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? Not so much traditions but we always decorate, go trick or treating and dress up. Are you OK with "special deliveries"? YES! Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? No, my work physical address would be better so just let me know if you need it. If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? I don’t mind that at all. Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Sure, just don’t get arrested! Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?

Sophia: You're gonna lay in an inch of water? “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain!” Dolly Parton. “Imagination is more important than knowledge” Albert Einstein “May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” Neil Gaiman What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? Like – Fall Dislike - Humidity Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? I love herbs so anything.

Rocky Horror, Bridget Jones Diary, 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, Mall Rats, Clerks, Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format? I love mix cd’s, so yes please! I know it is totally the wrong season (for most of us), but do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you like to grow? I don’t have one but really want to start growing herbs and vegetables in pots out back. Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? I love them all! Anything apple or berry. Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? Strawberry! Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey?

Dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer? I have 2 big ones (from Scentsy) but I need the smaller plug in ones, that would be lovely and I always need more tarts (any flavor) and if you get them from Scentsy get them from GirlinDenial (FREE SHIPPING) or I also use the cheap $2 ones from Wal-mart they work perfectly well! Do you lust after some new socks/tights? YES< I love all kinds of tights and socks (Tights a L or XL) Socks L/10 Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above? ALL Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above? ANY Loose tea or tea bags? Do you need anything for your loose tea?

    Ultraviolet

    In the IMP - A very sharp mint violet. On me it's pretty much the same but with the violet being more pronounced. It actually smells like Vix vapour Rub tainted with Violet. The more it sinks into my skin the less it smells like Vix and more and more like a very dark Violet. For some reason all I can think of is Alice in Wonderland when she's talking/singing with the flowers. It's lovely, dark and mysterious

    Lilium Inter Spinas

    In the IMP floral-apple-granny. Bright apple, warm fig and sandal wood mixed with baby powder...... apple scented baby powder.

    Mania

    Oh my oh my oh my. I thought this might be too musky on me but it's a very pretty pink/strawberry/fruit/sweet/bubblegum/musk. Reminds me of the Lampades but is a more sweet subtle way. Lovely
  6. loubric

    Kabuki

    IIn the IMP it smells like Cherry flavoured medicine. On my skin? LICORICE with hints of cherry and chocolate. Reminds me of The Lampades but less musk. Very very sexy. I didn't think I'd like it, but I do
  7. loubric

    The Deep Ones

    Sniffing the IMP it's very fruity and soapy. On me it's a lovely orange soapy smell. Clean, salty and creamy. Orange soap. I like it.
  8. loubric

    Machu Picchu

    In the IMP it's very sweet alcohol infused fruits. On me it's very medicated at first then it's more honey and warmth with hints of amber. On dry down it's more like a bar of floral fruit soap. Clean, fruity and pretty. Later .. yeah turns to powder on me. Pretty powder.
  9. loubric

    The Pool of Tears

    On me it's a lovely blend of watery, salty lavender with hints of sweetness. Clean and creamy. It smells like the ocean and if I close my eyes it takes me too a cottage by the sea, the soft ocean breeze blowing through open windows with crisp linen curtains, comfy cream sofas and white washed walls. Beautiful.

    Lilith's Tea Party

    Imaginary génoise cakes, imaginary trifle (with imaginary rosewater, imaginary Madeira and imaginary strawberries), imaginary macaroons, and imaginary Devonshire tea served in an imaginary garden surrounded by one-thousand imaginary flowers. I opened the bottle and my first thoughts were "Oh no, no no no no." all I could smell was an overwelming sick smell of foody sweetness (not in a good way) however I thought I had to test it on myself first and thank-goodness I did! On me all trace of sickingly food is gone and replaced with a gorgeous mixture of straberry, pink, cake, subtle flower sweetness with hints of tea. My skin turns it into a very sophisticated yummy strawberry vanilla cake floral scent! Edit just put some more on and I fear it might be too food for me

    Harvest Moon 2011

    In th ebottle it's rich, sweet juicy apples, berries and plums with hints of spice. On me its Fall! Apple and warm plum. I can smell the cool and smokiness coming through but it's subtle. It's sweet and perfect for Fall (or rather waiting for Fall to arrive )
  12. I'm going to be trying Lilith's tea Party, might be quite foody but the description sounded gorgeous! I'll look up all these other's too, thank-you!

    Boober

    Ye gads I must have a bottle. Sweet crisp light lemony clean freshness. Hints of green tea and soft lovliness. Reminds me slightly of The Unicorn but with more green.

  15. loubric

    Dorian

    A lovely blend of strong tea, vanilla and hints of lemon. I like the vanilla/green tea mixture. It reminds me of one of my fav .. Shanghai being mixed with vanilla. I like it.
  16. Can anyone reccomend a very sweet strawberry scent (artificial strawberry) I have Smackers Strawberry lotion at home that is awesome. Maybe even a BPAL that smelt like Troll hair (from the 80's 90's) that fake strawberry smell? I have Strawberry Moon 2012 that I love but thats more of a real strawberry and I need a fake one
  17. loubric

  22. loubric

    In the IMP it smells like winter in an old bookstore. On me sort of similar, a minty library old book kind of smell. Slight hospital smell with a hint of sweetness. The more I smell my wrist the sweeter it gets and the less medical it becomes. Pretty and minty cool in a leafy sort of way.

    Body Makover

    Body Makeover – Day 1 Monday January 30, 2012 Preparing and making the food for my diet is a pain in the ass!! It took me an hour last night to make food for today (but I also prepared Rexford’s bag for school – and for the rest of the week, and made regular dinner for everyone.) The BIG test is going to be trying to figure out how to prepare my food for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights because of my second job. I know I’ll have to wake up earlier in the morning, probably around 6 which will be tough, but I know I can do this!! I tried eating my breakfast at home at 7am this morning but no dice, it’s just too early for my body, considering I usually skip breakfast and eat lunch at 11am! So I waited till I got to work and I ate it at my desk, it was ok. The first few bites were tough but halfway through I was starting to enjoy it … kind of. Breakfast: 3 oatmeal and egg white pancakes (with cinnamon and vanilla) 2 table spoons chopped strawberries 1 cup black coffee It wasn’t the most appetizing breakfast but I must admit I feel good, nice and full! The diet also requires me to drink 100 oz of water a day. I’ll admit I am not a big water drinker at all, I really don’t enjoy it so rather than make myself sick by doing the 100oz right away, I’m just going to play it by ear and aim for 60oz a day and take it from there, if I can manage more great, if not it’s better than nothing right? Ugh drinking the water is hard because it’s so cold in the office today! Brrrrr! I’m down almost 33oz and it’s only mid-morning. I can do this! And I have to pee every 5 seconds now!! Taking pictures, weighing and measuring myself was a real eye-opener for me last night. The measuring and weighing was no problem, seeing the pictures was very difficult! I told DH my fears last night. It boils down to this statement: “What happens if I get to my goal weight and stick to the diet and exercise plan but I look in the mirror and I still don’t like what I see?” This is my biggest fear. Part of the problem is I have one leg longer than the other so when I stand my one hip is lower than the other and this makes a crease down my back/side/hip, it looks terrible. I’m hoping that when I loose some of the fat around my thigh/hip area and when I tone the muscles it’ll make it less noticeable. Snack time! 11.30am couldn’t have come soon enough I was hungry! Here is what I had: Mid-morning Snack: 2oz Grilled Chicken Breast Some Grilled Snow peas ½ cup strawberries After I ate this I was still STARVING so I consulting my food plan and read that for my plan I can have unlimited salad/veggies so I went and got a salad from Publix. Lettuce, tom, peppers, cucumber, carrots and spring onion. I topped it with Red Wine Vinaigrette, ground pepper and salt free spicy seasoning. It hit the spot. I am now full! But I was a little too enthusiastic with the seasoning and it was very very spicy! When I got back to my desk I drank some water and had a piece of gum. I’m not sure if gum is allowed but it doesn’t have sugar so I think it’s okay. The mid-morning snack is hard for me because I generally have my HUGE lunch meal at 11am so I have to train my body to have smaller portions earlier on and then a slightly larger lunch at around 2pm. The salad really helped and I don’t feel guilty because it’s “free food”. I am craving something sweet, will have to see what desserts I’m allowed. EPIC FAIL at lunch time. I had made tuna, onion and oat cakes and I thought I was going to throw up. I managed 1 ½ of them with the carrots and tomato but I couldn’t eat anymore. Not a good start considering it’s my first day. I’m trying to remind myself that it’ll take a couple of days to get acclimated and I’ve already learnt that I can have endless amounts of vegetables (like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms ect.) to fill me up as tuna is not a good idea for me After you finish a small meal even though you’re body isn’t starving or deprived of food, it’s used to eating more so it sends a message to your brain reminding or rather telling you to eat more, the more you eat smaller meals the sooner your body will adjust! I’m excited I did some research on the Diets forum pages and found a great dessert/evening snack recipe – Meringue Cookies (which I will be trying tonight) and a great breakfast or afternoon snack – Almond Rice Cupcakes (which I’ll make tonight for my snack tomorrow!) I just had my afternoon snack which was really good! Mid-afternoon Snack: 2oz Grilled Pork Steak ½ cup grilled snow peas and squash I got home and making dinner was so-so, it was hard with the boys crawling/running around and Brice trying to do the taxes all at the same time. Dinner: “Cottage Pie” 2oz Ground Beef with onions and mushrooms ½ cup “mashed” potato 1 cup peas and brussel sprouts 1 glass of ice water with lemon It wasn’t a very nice meal unfortunately, very bland and when I added crushed garlic to the mash I used too much and it made it very sour/bitter. I found a recipe for home-made tomato sauce from the diet forum and will try and make that sometime to try and add some flavor and “wetness” I find a lot of the meals very dry. After we bathed and put the boys to bed I cleaned the kitchen and got my food ready for tomorrow – took about 50min but I kept distracting myself trying to do too many things at once! I made the meringue cookies too, they turned out okay. I used almond essence which I probably won’t again; it can also have a very odd taste. Next time I think some vanilla will be nicer. I want to try actual meringues this weekend maybe. Body Makeover – Day 2 Tuesday January 31, 2012 Woke up at 6.30am this morning to pack lunches and make breakfast and coffee. I made Brice fried eggs on toast that he shared with Paxton. Made myself black coffee but only had 2 sips and forgot it on the counter. Brought my breakfast to work, I still can’t stomach anything before 8:30am. Have a slight headache today but I’m sure it’s caused from all the withdrawals (sugar, salt, dairy, flour ect.) it’s not too bad, after my black coffee at work and water it’s eased considerably! Breakfast: 2oz ground beef (from last night) 2oz scrambled egg whites ½ c mashed potato I fried them all up with some pepper, parsley and garlic powder so it was like an egg skillet. It wasn’t bad. The first mouthful was very dry but I added some red wine vinaigrette and extra pepper and ate it with my coffee and it was better. My snack time at 11am came quickly and it was delicious! Mid-morning Snack: 2 ½oz (x3 slices) of low-sodium smoked Turkey 1 small tomato Half a grape fruit Unlike yesterday, this filled me up nicely and when I had to eat lunch at 2pm I wasn’t starving. Lunch was okay, a bit bland, I still have to figure out how to make the food taste better. I really need to make some of the tomato sauce/ketcup or some kind of gravy. I also want to see about making a soup in the crockpot, think that would be really nice. Must peruse the diet forum cookbook sometime! Lunch: 2-3oz grilled pork and chicken ½ cup rice 1 cup peas and brussel sprouts Small mixed salad (sprouts, lettuce, cucumber, peppers, carrots and spring onion) Had a cup of tea mid-afternoon, because it’s still hard for me to stomach all the water I have to drink, it’s going well though, I’m almost done with my second bottle of water and if I can manage another one then that’ll almost be the full 100oz! I’m a bit nervous about dinner tonight, fish …. Not sure how to cook it without batter. Just came back from my mid-afternoon snack and all I can say is YUMMO! Mid-afternoon Snack: 2 ½oz (x3 slices) of low-sodium smoked Turkey 1 small tomato 1 small sweet potato 3 baby carrots
