VIRGO 2007 Mutable earth: the essence of analysis. Fennel, valerian, maidenhair fern, carrot seed, honeysuckle, and myrtle. let's see if I can do a proper Virgoan analysis of this. wet, on the skin, it is mildly sharp and herbal, with mossy-ness and a bit of earth. Smells a bit like sticking your head into a forest wildflower patch! Kind of comparable to Zombi, except with not much rose and more wildflowers/herbs. I'm not too keen on recognizing things like the valerian, maidenhair fern and carrotseed, but I can assume those are what is contributing to the herbalness, and the honeysuckle and myrtle is what sweetens it up! dry on skin retains its floral sweetness, not much sharp herbal anymore, still mildly earthy but fairly light. Throw is not overpowering at all! Very pretty scent, I'm usually not a fan of florals that aren't mainly rose, but this one I might actually wear now and then!

Agape on me is a very sweet vanilla apple.

1. I wonder what a potential witchee would think about being bombarded with PUMPKINS in various formats. Because my current obsession just may last long enough to be of use in spoiling.....but I know wouldn't be appreciated by everyone. Would you appreciate it?!? I like pumpkin stuff! As for food though, please don't send too much, the hubby and I are trying to watch our eating. We would love small amounts of things though. I am one of those BPAL-ers that can't do much with BPAL's pumpkin note though (the fake buttery popcorn problem). However, I have had very good luck with Blue Pumpkin Floss (the prototype V3) and BPTP Marshmallow Pumpkin 2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread). Not so much with pickled goods/breads, but I'd love some sugar free jams. 3. Trading Post wants? Implacable Beautiful Tyrant Hair Gloss! I tried a decant of it a while back and fell HARD for the scent. I haven't gotten a full size bottle yet! I'd also love to try decants/samples of other hair gloss scents, like Fig and White Sandalwood, Coconut, Vanilla Bean and Tiare, and Amber and Patchouli. 4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like. Avon. I do like Mary Kay's skincare though. 5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences? I'm a medium roast kind of girl, though I do really like Starbucks blonde roast. Whole bean please! Since working at Sbux a few years ago I prefer grinding my own coffee I love all kinds of tea but especially fruity ones. my favorites are Earl Grey (esp the starbucks one, since it has lavender buds in it!) Tazo Passion (hot!) and really any brand of Raspberry black teas. 6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy? I would adore a mandoline slicer or lemon zester grater. 7. How do people feel about creative endeavours? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems? I would love supplies/kits for crafting things! I really love embroidery/cross stitch, knitting and crocheting 8. What culture or country (doesn’t have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you? Japan. I want to live there. if I wasn't tied down right now I would seriously consider moving there to teach english or something. I love their food, culture, religions, social customs, art/anime etc. I wouldn't even know where to start if you asked me what my favorite things are, just assume I love everything! 9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoony, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)? I guess not, thank you though 10. What do you find yourself doing for fun in your free time? What are your main hobbies and interests? Knitting tons, watching anime, cooking/baking, reading, sometimes writing, going for walks. 11. Table-top gaming? If yes, what kind, edition, etc? Gaming accessories you long for? My husband and I play Dungeons and Dragons. We would LOVE some RPG goblin squirts of atmo sprays. We already have Exotic Bazaar, but we need others! 12. DVD movies or games that you wish would magically appear in your hands? Can they be used, through Amazon? I've always wanted a DVD of Bjork's movie Dancer in the Dark. 13. What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try? EVERYTHING FROM JAPAN. I love seaweed snacks, rice crackers (esp. seaweed flavored and rice cracker peanuts) ANYTHING Lychee (seriously, I'm obsessed with lychee). One of my favorite Japanese candies are those Choco gummies, the fruit gummies covered in chocolate. Also, anything Japanese that is apple or peach flavored. (I have a Japanese food weakness!) 14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom? not really. Fandom stuff really turns me off. I have friends that are so obsessed with Dr. Who that it has completely turned me off from ever watching it. To me it is not unique anymore when there are rabid fans that spend thousands of dollars they can't afford on a show's related paraphernalia, must quote Dr. Who daily, regardless if anyone around them gets the reference, and refuse to watch anything else. I'm sorry to those on here that are fans, I just hate those that get so obsessed with things that it interferes with normal life. For instance, I really loved watching Battlestar Gallactica, but I don't feel the need to plaster its logo all over me and quote it constantly. /rant 15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends. Yes and yes! Rachel Joslyn MacGregor. 16. Anybody interested in something from RCCC, whether it's con-exclusive merch or from a particularexhibitor or artist? That's okay, I'm more into Slave Labor Graphics type comics (dark, like Lenore, Nightmares and Fairytales, etc) 17. How important to you is regular contact / chatter with your witch? I'd like at least some contact. One time I got absolutely NO contact and it depressed me because I assumed I was going to get shafted. Once every two weeks or so, I think. That's what I do as a witch. 18. Do you like puzzles/riddles/treasure hunts and that sort of thing? Sure! 19. If you were to receive music, would you want a physical CD or digital versions? I'd love some. Digital would be easier I suppose, but either is fine 20. What’s a current problem/annoyance you have that could be remedied but you haven’t had time to address it? cleaning/ironing 21. How do you feel about having some sort of trinket to carry around for good luck/wishes? i.e. a small figurine, symbol, card, coin… I'd love that!! Good luck, home blessing, wishes - that would be so cool 22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations? Nah. 23. For the vegetarians and vegans: How do you feel about things (say, marshmallows or gummy candy) made with vegan gelatin or other typically-animal-derived-but-not-in-this-instance products? not vegetarian. 24. Ok, so we've covered pumpkin. How do you feel about the other fall classic – apples? APPLE IS MY LIFE (drama). But no, really. Apple is my #1 favorite flavor of anything. Closely followed by peach and lychee. 25. Do you have any fabric or skin-contact aversions? I'm allergic to angora (lol not that I was expecting any!) 26. How do you feel about Christmas/Yule ornaments? Sure! We don't have many. 27. How do you feel about Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty accessories (including mugs, cups, etc)? Yes!!! I like Hello Kitty but I love Choco Cat more. Also Keroppi, Little Twin Stars, Badtz Maru... 28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study? Japanese. Maybe sock knitting. 29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like? I adore confessional poetry. Sylvia Plath, Pablo Neruda, Anne Sexton... I also really like writing poetry but I don't usually have the urge to do it much anymore. 30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character? Nah. I'm not really a Disney fan. 31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories? (Example: Would you enjoy this stationery - or do you prefer elegant/creepy/neutral stuff?) I like both!! I love Japanese kawaii kinds of stationery, pens, accessories and things. I'd love a new cute cover for my iphone 4 (yes, I still have a 4!) 32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!" I am just going to come right out and say that I would adore some BPAL (and maybe some socks...) 33. Go to your music source of choice - on random or shuffle setting if possible - & share with us the 10 most recent songs/artists.

Glitter? are you okay with it, or hate it like the plague? It's okay as long as it is subtle. I love fine glitter pigments to put over darker eyeshadows. 37.

If you had to pick one or two quotes to live by, what would it be and why? not sure. 39. Do you prefer physical books? CD books? eBooks? If eBooks do you have preferred format, kindle/nook/kobo/PDF/ePub/ect? eAudio? I do prefer physical books but I don't mind e-books.

Sure! 42. If you were to get a custom bottle from House of Gloi made for you what notes would create your perfect blend? Rose, amber and clove with a touch of patchouli (They don't have amber though ) I basically just want to recreate Moonalisa's Selene the Dreaming Fairy Queen! 43. If your witch were to take a photograph (or paint or whatever) of something just for you, what would it be? Landscape? Flower? Critter? Something to illustrate a favorite quote? Hmm I'm not sure. Maybe some scenery from Oahu (where I had my honeymoon). 44. What is your favorite Halloween animal or other symbol/decoration? black cats and bats! (moreso the cats though) 45. Makeup, especially of the indie variety. Nail polish, nail wraps, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss, etc. Y/N? Specific preferences (color, finish, product, brand, etc.)? Sure! I'd love to try stuff. I've never tried nail wraps before. I'm not the biggest nail polish person and I don't like lip gloss. I'm mostly into eyeshadows, neutral matte (or matte-ish) lip colors and I love lip balm. 46. How do you feel about profanity and off-color humor? It's okay to an extent, as long as it has a purpose. For instance, I hate Family Guy because of its cheap shock value, whereas South Park tends to be more satirical. 47. I make hairsticks...would you like/use them? Sure! I'd prefer shorter sticks (5") 48. Does anyone here LARP? If so, what kind of LARP? And what kind of character do you play? No. 49. Would you completely freak out if I sent you a chocolate covered scorpion or some other food oddity? This includes things like 'bacon powder' from thinkgeek.com. Yeah sorry. I am terrified of bugs. 50. This has kind of been covered, but, are you ok with receiving canned jam (from a veteran jammer!) and if so, what flavors would you like and not like? I would love some sugar free jam! Raspberry or strawberry would be great! 51. Let's talk nail polish. What colors do you love? Hate? Which brands are you dying to try? Have you ever used indies? Do you like glitter? Any textures to avoid (glitter, sand, etc)? I'm not REALLY into nail polish, though I like painting my toes once a month. I prefer dark rich colors. Glitter can work. 52. How do you feel about getting a special Halloween plushie? OMG I would love that... I don't know why but I always love getting stuffed animals lol. 53. I'm in Japan, anything specific you might want from the land of the rising sun? I would appreciate ANYTHING from Japan. Teas, snacks, incense, buddhas, paper art, kimono fabric, pens, pencils, stationery, phone cases (I have an iphone 4), omg anything cute or traditional really. 54. Are there any GC scents that you know you love, but for whatever reason, keep putting off buying bottles of? Eat Me, Imp, more Snake Oil! 55.

Zombies, yes or no? Sure! No t-shirts though. 60. Would you like arm warmers/fingerless gloves? If so, what length? just beyond the wrist, almost to the elbow, full sleeves?

Do you feel a particular affinity for a specific animal/s? My favorite animal is the cougar/mountain lion. I have a mountain lion TY beanie baby that I keep as a mascot on my desk 62. Anyone have any Paintbox Soapworks loves? I know I liked Indian Summer when I tried it. I'd love to try more scents! 63. How would you feel if your witch or a minion of your witch showed up in person at your house with goodies? Thrilled? Annoyed? Completely creeped out? Honestly, I'd probably freak out, sorry. 64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions. I do!! I'm darkbird on there. I love knitting because it helps me with my anxiety but I also really love creating practical things.

In a muted color like grey or dusty purple 67. Is your Amazon WL up-to-date? yes, but I'm always adding things... 68. If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)? That would be awesome! 69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types? Sure I'd love to! I love nag champa and Japanese incenses. Stick incense though, I've tried charcoal and it is a bit too high maintenance for me. 70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices? Hmm, I'd love to try new quirky spice blends! 71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen? Sure! I don't know when I would use them though... 72.

Are there any beauty accessories you need or would like? For example make-up brushes, facial brushes or eyelash curlers. I would love a canister to hold my makeup brushes. i have so many and all i have to hold them is an old oatmeal box cut in half I could also use some decent eyelash curlers. 78. Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later? I won't lie, I love a big box, but I won't be disappointed in whatever is easiest for my witch And it can be at any time! 79. Stores are putting out their halloween PJs and undies! Would you be happy to get any in a package? And if so, what size? For PJ pants, do you like cotton or flannel? I can never have enough PJ pants! I love them too big, so XL would be perfect I like both cotton and flannel, however I find that most flannel PJ's I've had run smaller and are more fitted (=LESS COMFY) than just cotton ones. 80.

I also use cetaphil moisturizer (not the facial one, the thinner body lotion) at night and Olay sensitive skin sunscreen lotion during the day. I am TOTALLY open to trying alternatives! 86. If you happen to be my witchee, would you be interested in any of the items in my etsy shop?

Jamberry nail wraps? nah, that's okay. I'm not huge on nail polish. 99. If you had to choose one currently available book (used-but-obtainable counts if you do used) costing $20 or under for your Witch to buy for you, what would it be?

Also, if you like flavoured blends, what sort of flavours? (caramels, nuts, chocolate, etc.) I would prefer whole bean, because it helps it last longer and stay fresher since I have a little coffee grinder. I'd love some flavored coffee! Really anything would be good, but my favorite coffee flavors are cinnamon, coconut and chocolate 10/28/13: Are you interested in anything from the Haus of Gloi yule update on November 3rd? Which products and which scents? Wintervale and Three Treasures. Probably just perfume oil samples. The lip balms all sound amazing, it's hard to choose which one.

Is there anything from a farmer's market you might like? I can't really think of anything that would be okay to ship. Maybe some apple or pumpkin butter? 10/25/13: Do you have any upcoming away time I should be aware of, for shipping purposes? nope! Would you like anything from Sock Dreams? here is my wishlist.

If I were your witch and were to paint you something, what would you absolutely love, what would you feel ambivalent toward, and what would you not like to see or receive? This might seem really lame, but I would ADORE a painting of a mountain lion, or African lion (or really any wild cat). Speak to me of jewelry! If you like earrings, what kind? Dangly earrings, hoops, studs - what kind do you like? How long do you like your necklaces? Or would you prefer to just get a pendent, so you can size the chain yourself? Details, they make me happy. I don't really wear anything in my ears but small silver studs with gemstones. I love necklaces though! I like wearing small dainty pendants on 18" silver chains, and I am obsessed with gemstones, especially amethyst, labradorite, garnet, moonstone and clear quartz (but I'd love ANYTHING). 10/23/13 Are you okay with semi-spicy foods right now? I'm thinking like curry or chipotle? If you were to choose a chili powder would you go Hot, Medium, or Mild? I like mild and sometimes medium, but my husband loves hot! We'd love to try some different currys and chipotles! If you were this mystery witch's witchee, would you be interested in Spoonfudge (http://www.spoonfudge.com/) or any other such "ordered online" sweet? No thank you, unless they have very small portions. Also - Double checking everyone's baked goods status. Home-made baked goods or other food stuffs OK? I'm really trying hard to eat healthy, and the truth is that I have a voracious sweet tooth. I would rather have just a few treats, for sanity's sake. 10/21/13 TRADER JOE'S: I have one near my parent's house, but don't get to it often enough. My favorite thing in the world are their coconut chips! hairsticks I used to use them, especially Ketylos, but since my hair has gotten so thin they just fall out. I do however love wooden hair forks, like this one https://www.etsy.com...=fb2_tnx_title. It holds my hair so well. I only have one, so I'd love more! Is there any craft project/s you are working on now that you need supplies for? Or rather, is there a craft project you've been wanting to do but need stuff to start? I will always take yarn in jewel tones! I also really REALLY need vintage or reproduction Victorian scraps, especially flowers and birds, for my wedding scrap book I am trying to put together. Background scrapbook paper in victorian/art nouveau type prints would be great too! (sorry I know this is a bit obscure.) 10/20/13: Table Games - do you play them? If so, which ones, and which versions, and are there any goodies you might like related to them? Dungeons and Dragons (my husband is OBSESSED and he is the DM of our campaign) We are playing 4.0. I am playing a Drow Assassin that is rebelling against Lolth, and instead worshipping the Raven Queen. Thus, I need MORE RAVEN MOON because it smells exactly like I'd imagine the Raven Queen smelling. I also need some flat black or silver glass marble pieces for my shrouds. Really anything related to my character would be AMAZING. Witchee, are you in need of any particular spices? Some quality cinnamon and vanilla bean pods would be great! I make my own vanilla extract and I am always needing more bean pods. 10/19/13: If you were my witchee, would you be interested in anything from my store or something similar? (Nut-made by LisaNut on etsy.) Those are all really cool! I have too much of that kind of thing though, unfortunately. Say your witch works at a used bookstore. what kinds of things might you like from there? cool old pulp fiction paperbacks? tarot cards? (we have those.) a dr who pen? books about haunted cemeteries in seattle? you may have all of these things:) oh, and also movies. and cds. I love tarot cards, I'd love to get an old rider waite set, as I don't have one of those. Anything celtic would be good too. I'd love any books about hauntings! Anything old and ancient (I've been obsessed with finding an old Godey's Lady's book from the late 1800's since I was a kid), especially homemaking books, ladies magazines or children's books from before the 1950's. Witchee, the Haunt Halloween update goes live tomorrow! When it does, please post right away and let me know your dreams and wishes! I'd be interested in trying the perfumes Burying Tree and Incantare. I've always wanted to try a Lip Lust, but never got around to it. I'd LOVE the caramel apple one and maybe the pumpkin cake. I've got some canned goods put up -- mostly jams/jellies, some apple butter, some applesauce. Want some? If so, what kind(s)? YES I'd love apple or pumpkin butter! Unsweetened applesauce would be great too! How feel you about lip balms, glosses, and lipsticks? Any particular favourite scents/flavours? Any favourite makers/sellers? If all I got was a ton of lip balm from my witch, I would be ecstatic! I am obsessed with lip balm. However I don't really like MyLipStuff balms, they are too greasy/oily! My favorites are Rosebud salve, and the strawberry version they have, or anything with a fruity/candy flavor that are on the waxy side (beeswax/petroleum jelly). The Nivea ones are great too. Not a fan of glosses though. I usually only wear lip balm and matte lipstick on the rare occasion. Since wishlist links never seem to work in forum mail, won't you please re-post your wishlist links here, so they're readable? amazon etsy 10/18/13: Are you a fan of anything that you would like a tshirt of? If so, what size would you wear? I need more band shirts and I NEED BPTP SHIRTS! I only have Sleepy Moon 2006 (which is falling apart!) and I have this years Black Butterfly Moon. My favorite is the baby Bella tee, and I am a medium in that. I am a fangirl of things like GoT, Batman, Battlestar, Firefly, but I don't really like plastering myself in memorabilia. I WOULD however, swoon over a literature tee. Like these: http://outofprintclo...-shirts/womens/ I'd love a Little Women, Moby Dick, The Raven, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre or Sense and Sensibility tee Do you love, hate, or are indifferent to.....pumpkin flavored things? Love them! I'm not a huge fan of 'pumpkin spice' flavored chocolate though. I'd rather just have regular chocolate! Anything else pumpkin would be welcome! (teas, coffees, baked goods, etc ) Dear future Witchee, did you get anything from the Beaver Moon or Weenie updates that I need to know about, so I don't accidentally repeat anything? I got September Midnight and snakes in the pumpkin patch, and I have some weenie decants coming. I haven't gotten anything from Beaver Moon, but I'd love to try decants or sniffies! I also really wanted to get a new BPTP hair gloss, or at least try a new one, but I ran out of money. The werebeast one, definitely. I'm waiting and waiting for my beloved Implacable Beautiful Tyrant to come back. I only have a small decant, and didn't get a big bottle in time before they went out of stock Name some DVDs you wouldnt mind receiving, or are they on an Amazon list? I'll put them on my amazon wishlist! Do you want anything from Starbucks or Teavana? Tea, tea makers, rock sugar, tea tins, coffee, via, via refreshers, mugs, tazo tea...? YESS EVERYTHING! worked at starbucks for two years and I miss my weekly pound of coffee/tea tin. My favorites are Yukon and Guatemala (medium blends) I also like Gold Coast for dark blends. And I have had a long obsession with Passion tea, which I always seem to be running out of! I love the berry hibiscus refreshers but I'm more of a fan of the store made drink than the vias. I'd love to try any Teavana fruity tea blends! 10/17/13: Halloween Candy, Decorations, and Costume supplies - What kind are your idea of FUN and which ones would you thoroughly dislike? I love all types of halloween decorations, but I tend to lean toward macabre and cute things. WHAT traditions to you partake in for Halloween? Knowing what you do our how you decorate or how you celebrate? Not really anything yet, besides dressing up for parties, though we won't be doing that this year. 10/16/13: Hey, Witchee, it's getting cold. Socks, scarves, hats or arm warmers? Socks please!! I knit a lot myself, so instead of scarves, hats and armwarmers, I'd love new patterns and yummy yarn to make them with!

I just want to say first off that I am so excited to be playing this again! Thank you to my dear Witch for scoping me out. I always feel a bit weird asking for things, so I will just post things I really like! I absolutely love Yankee Candle's Sugared Apple! Bordering on obsession actually. The problem is that it has been 'discontinued' but whenever I ask about it in stores, there is always a small supply on the "throwback" shelf, and there is always a bunch at the factory in MA. I'm not sure why they say it's discontinued when they still technically produce it. Anyway I am down to my last jar, and there's less than half left so I would shriek with joy to be gifted with ANYTHING Sugared Apple. seriously. That was the only thing I could think of for now, but I am sure I will think of more later!

Unfortunately, all I can smell is Frankincense. Even after the dry-down, even as it fades from my skin. And the frankincense is overpowering. I have hope for this though because it seems like other people are experiencing the other notes. I'm going to let this sit for a few weeks, and hopefully update this!

My mom is obsessed with Antique Lace and is absolutely heartbroken that it has been discontinued. However I tried Celeste (Courtesans) last night and it seems pretty similar. I'm personally not a fan of Antique Lace, but I thought I'd pass it along. Anyone find anything else similar to Antique Lace?

Oh I didn't think of that one. My mom has a bottle, so I will try it this Thanksgiving. Thanks!

I'm getting married in 3 months and I still haven't decided what to wear! I know I want to wear BPAL now. I had a brief stint where I was going to wear Vera Wang, but after testing it a few times, it ended up smelling too much like my MIL to be's Estee Lauder Beautiful. uhhhh. so far here is what I've got for maybes: Snow White 2005 Katharina I'm thinking floral vanillas similar to Snow White, or peach, or white musk-ey scents. I do not want anything overly foody. I like Peach Moon but it isn't quite what I'm going for. Snow White might not be it, I feel like I have worn it too often. If I can't choose though, I will go with Snow White. I want to try: Unveiled The Girl (been wanting to try this for a while actually, it is quite hard to find)

possibles: Jacob's Ladder '05 (or the new one, if there is one for 2012) Villainess' Birthrite BPAL's Snow White 2005 Bewitched The Lion I want to try decants of: A Wonderful Light Belle Epoque* Beautiful and Adored* Cathedral Dreamland El Amor y la Muerte* Eternal Fallen The Girl* Helena Heavenly Love & Earthly Love Haunted Katrina Van Tassel Love's Philosophy* Lucy's Kiss Maiden Ophelia* Peony Moon Regan Silver Phoenix Succubus Swan Maiden* Szepasszony Titania* Two Five Seven* Unveiled* Vasakasajja*

What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I would love a lacy knit/crocheted shawl to keep me warm!

Tazo Passion or Zen Tea, wasabi peas, Mary Kay Timewise products (especially the moisturizer), Clinique Dramatically different lotion. LUSH Karma soap (or anything scented in Karma. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? She's alright. Restoration-ish era literature kind of bores me though. I prefer the passionate mid to late Victorians.

Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), 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. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. #occupywallstreet and maybe a Weenie, even though I haven't tried them yet! Are there any characters that you love or identify with?

IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? As friendly as I am, and as much as I love my Witch, I'd have to say no, that would freak the $@ out of me. Maybe if it was planned ahead of time.

Deep dark metallic colors, purple, red, grey, blue, green. I don't mind chemicals because I use a chemical free base usually. Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm?

March 19 If your Witch lived near you, would you be happy or creeped out to get a "coupon" for a service like cleaning help or babysitting or dogwalking or coffee out with your Witch or something like that? Would you be creeped out if a local minion personally delivered a package to your house from a far-away Witch? Its not that I would be creeped out, I just get extremely nervous around strangers. Let's say I have a pair of something you collect, would you like one of them and we have matching things? Yeah that would be really cool! March 18 Do you like poetry? I do! I love Oscar Wilde and Sylvia Plath What types of scents do you like to scent your home? Which do you totally avoid? My boyfriend likes things that smell like 'cookies' :roll: As for me, the perfect scent is a combination of cedarwood and mandarin, they used to have it at Yankee Candle a while back and I've been mourning it. Dark Candle's Bonfire or Crypt Moss are good substitutes What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? Yes! Devi from the I Feel Sick comics has been my hero for ages. I would love more Lenore comics, I think I only have one. Generally Slave Labor Graphics has tons of cool potential comics. How do you feel about nail polish? What colors do you like? Sparkles? I like dark colors like dark reds and dark purples and the occasional dark blue or green. Sometimes gunmetal grey. Household/kitchen goods/gadgets? Yes please!! We are moving out this summer for the first time and I am trying to gather together basic kitchen stuff for our apartment. I need measuring spoons, measuring cups, kitchen towels, hot pads, stainless steel pots and pans, and the kitchen colors I am planning are black and red. Ok geek check - what sort of geeky things do you do? Do you read comics/graphic novels? Are you obsessed with something (a TV show maybe?) Do you work in a geeky field? Do you play rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons? Would you like gifts related to any of these? I read FsC comics, (see amazon w/l) My boyfriend is OBSESSED with D&D to the point that it may be unhealthy, so any D&D stuff would be much loved and adored. Do you have a favorite fabric? If someone were to make you a fabric item, would you prefer it be out of any fabric? e.g. velvet, satin, silk, cotton, bamboo??? Would this change if it were an article of clothing vs. a bag/pillow/blanket/somethingelse I love velvet so much! Satin is nice too, though it tends to get staticky Anything with the Worm Moon update that you're already lusting after? only Womb Furie. Still (haven't gotten a chance to order, and I think tomorrow is the last day) March 17 Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only ex. Diaspora, Demonoid, etc. If so, what? Hmm. I'm not quite sure what any of that is! Pillows? What size/designs/colors would most interest you? Hmm. maybe some small couch pillows for my living room. Dark jewel colors please, and nothing too ornamented, as we have claw happy kitties. purses? bags? What style/colors? no thanks, I have too many. Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors? nah, I have way too many. Would you like anything from Starring Fragrances. They make awesome hair stuff, natural deoderant, and home fragrance (and a ton of other stuff, those are just my favs)? Yes! I would love to try any kind of natural deodorants and home fragrance stuff. March 16 For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer? I don't usually wear lipstick or color on my lips. I like medicated lip balm though, and can never have enough of it! Are there any fancy/gourmet/special herbs or spices that you'd love to receive? ie: good quality vanilla or other extracts, vanilla beans, saffron, lavender, etc. Oh vanilla beans would be awesome. Or some vanilla and/or coconut extract (doesn't have to be fancy, honestly lol) What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you? Yes the American Mountain Lion and I also really like Snow Leopards. If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want? Hmm, any of my favorites (from my profile) would be awesome. But I'm not so obsessed with rare vintage stuff. All the really old BPAL I've ever had have gone sour or strange smelling on me. DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither? regular DVDs are fine! Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?) I'm all good for socks right now. Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care? What ever my witch desires, I have no preference, it is fun either way! Do you like pirate-related things? Sure! No Pirates of the Caribbean stuff though, I tend to think its tacky. I like REAL pirate stuff. Soaps? Be specific: if there are BPAL soaps you want to try or are dying for more of, tell all here! Also, any other companies people like or love? Villainess, maybe? Or Lush? What flavors??? I love Villainess Birthrite and Arcana's Devilish and I'd LOVE more! What periods of art do you love most? Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco? The romanticism of Art Nouveux? The strange lines of Cubism? I love Art Nouveux most of all. Anything romantic and aesthetic AND old fits me very well. Would you like caffeinated lollipops?: http://www.lollyphil...cks-caffeinated those sound delightful. Copied CD's or DVD's? of course! I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you? No thanks, I really don't like Disney. March 15 Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds? No thanks. I can't really have it at the moment Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay? Sure! Do you like amurigami dolls? Of course, they are cute. I'm not sure I'd find them really practical though because I am moving this summer and trying to downsize the amount of stuff I own. March 14 surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours? Read, knit, clean my room, go out for coffee and shopping with my best friend and talk about baby stuff, go out to dinner with my boyfriend. Do you have any blogs you regularly read? Not regularly, but I have been keeping up with Andra's Love to Eat Hate to Exercise blog because I enjoy it so much. Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like? No thanks, I already have like 20 lol. Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers? Well, I do usually enjoy gardening, but I am not sure what it will be like when I move this summer. The apartment we are thinking about might not have a gardening space, though I suppose I could use pots out on the balcony, if we have one. If so, I'd love to grow tomatoes and fresh herbs in pots. Social Networking sites: just facebook for now. Though I'm getting tired of being mindlessly addicted to it. I am tempted to just cut and run. favourite artists or specific paintings? I LOVE Pre-Raphaelite artists, especially John William Waterhouse (my favorite is Ophelia), and the Rosettis. March 13 how about mix CDs? LOVE them Hey, how do folks feel about little e-goodies, like links to stuff your witchee likes? (articles online, pix, fic, etc) sure! Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate? No thanks, those are deliciously dangerous, and I'm dieting. Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection? Oh yes! I'd love some E.M. Forster, more Dickens, Austen, Hemingway... I'll put some on my amazon wishlist. candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay? I'm more inclined to scented candles, in fruity, fresh (seashore) or vanilla scents. Get your music player, what are the first 13 songs on Random? 1. Track 3 - Great Expectations Soundtrack 2. I wanna Be Your Dog - Siouxsie and the Banshees 3. Trinity's Calling - CocoRosie 4. Destillat - VNV Nation 5. Silly Kids Games - The Damned 6. Under Pressure - Queen and David Bowie 7.

I already know my basic birth chart, but I have never gotten an in depth interpretation. Birthdate 9/14/1983 5:35 AM Hartford, CT So how does everyone feel about receiving ebooks? No thanks, I prefer real books. March 11 Would you rather have HUGE list of things your witchee wants to try or just a highlight list? Huge list, please! What would I order TODAY from BPAL? If I had a decent amount of dough to spend, I would get: GC: Bliss, Imp, Pickled Imp, Incubus LE: Womb Furie x2 (I've been wanting this one FOREVER) imps: Elegba What level of nudity? It's cool as long as its for a purpose. Unnecessary nudity usually bothers me. gently used items from a garage sale/thrift store? sure why not? Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounces sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out? Yes, actually I need the basic seasonings because my boyfriend and I are moving into our first apartment this summer! Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk? Sure, anything would be good. I am particularly fond of earl grey, and flavored coffees are the BOMB. Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?) Maybe? I'll be able to have nuts pretty soon. I really love sugar free jerky for snacks. Baked Goods? Yea Nay? I'd love to say yes, but I am currently dieting, low carb. Unless you have super kick ass Atkins baking skills! If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? Sure! I'd love some low carb cook books! I will see if I can put some ideas on my amazon wishlist Mix CDs Yes please! I'm always looking for new music!

Would you prefer a poem or romance novel & what type of romance novel? Romance novel! I like historical romance. But nothing too cheesy! Please no vampire stuff. How do you feel about burned mix cds (good time for mood music *giggle*)? I love mix CDs Do you have metal/ jewelry allergies? Nope. Do you bake/would you be interested in baked goods or related mixes? I can't, unfortunately. Unless my person knows how to bake low carb / sugar free. Do you like cute stationery, stickers, note cards, stuff like that? Oh yes! I love anything Sanrio or Japanese/Korean in general. Do you like tea? If so, do you prefer your tea loose or in tea bags? love tea. I prefer bags, because it takes too damn long to fill my metal strainer and then empty/wash it. My favorite tea is Earl Grey, I'd like to try some variations of it. I also really like the Tazo Vanilla Rooibos tea (the kind they have at Starbucks) but haven't gotten around to buying some. What is your favorite Valentine candy? Mine has always been Red Hots (or red cinnamon bears, I really really LOVE Cinnamon candy) and those cherry valentine heart lollipops. If you could find those sugar free, I would love you forever. I really hate Conversation Hearts. Knitted items? I knit myself pretty well, but I could use a nice afghan square knitted or crocheted 12" x 12" in a dark blue, green, grey or black if my Cupid is crafty. I am replacing afghan squares from the Afghan swap due to the people that dropped out and it would be nice if I had one less to knit to finish my blanket! Would you enjoy some loose beads for your own crafts, or any other crafty bits? No thanks, I would love some yarn though! Would you rather get things all together or in a couple of doses? I kind of like getting a few packages, but it is exciting to be expecting a big one! Kid/Parent/church lady safe or not? Sure! I'm not really into penis soaps though lol Length of necklace, size of bracelet, post or dangle earrings preferred? I like 17 or 18" chains, small simple pendants, my wrist is about 6", and I like post earrings Stuffed critters or other things of the cuddly variety? I would really love a stuffed animal I like snow leopards, and just your traditional Teddy bear <3 For those who don't do jewelry/have a prohibitive amount of metal sensitivities, etc., would you prefer something like a keychain charm or other little ornamental thing? No thanks, I do like jewelry but it doesn't have to be fancy. I like simple things

Just for my own reference: Cold Moon Phoenix in Winter THE FIRST OF THE THREE SPIRITS THE SECOND OF THE THREE SPIRITS WHOOP Klara THE WALTZ OF THE SNOWFLAKES GELT 2010 GINGERBREAD POPPET 2010 JACOB'S LADDER 2010 WINTER-TIME WOODS IN WINTER

9/30/10 Villainess has an update. Anyone wanting anything from it? Yes, everything! Even though I haven't seen it yet I know I'll love anything. 9/29/10 Is there one scent that is your goto for comfort on a bad stressful day? Like the perfume equivilent of a security blankie? TKO! I love it so much. If I don't want to smell like lavender though (or if I don't want to get sleepy lol) I like Jacob's Ladder or Snow White What are you going to be for Halloween? Not sure yet, but I have this big old burgundy cape made out of an authentic Victorian era velvet drape that I have been wanting to have an excuse to wear since forever. I think I might be Red Riding Hood. If I had the money to humor my fancy, I'd be a STEAM PUNKED Little Red Riding Hood. Is there something just super random you like/enjoy/want/are ogling that has not been and will not be covered by any other questions, because it's just that WEIRD? YES MY WITCH COULD DO ALL MY ENGLISH AND HISTORY PAPERS FOR ME THIS SEMESTER! (j/k, no I don't want anything weird or random, not anything I could think of) 9/25/10 If you could make a scent that represents where you live (or have lived), what would be the ingredients? CONNECTICUT - red oak leaves, oakmoss, Mountain Laurel honey and a smoke-memory of Algonquin camp-fires. PHOENIX - An ambiguous mix of ozone, stainless steel beams of skyscraper, the pompous bubble of a CEO's champagne, with an afterthought of dry amber and stalwart sacredness of white sage Are you in need of Roller bottles or anything of the like? I'd love empty roller balls! 9/24/10 Just curious, but if your witch was to make an amigurumi critter (or other plushie) just for you, what would it be? Cool!! I'd love a kitty, or a bear or a wolf 9/23/10 Do you collect stones/rocks? I'm talking like "semi" precious stones, ie moonstone, bloodstone, quartz ect. Are there any that you're looking for at the moment? Are you in need of a stone but don't know which kind? I used to collect stones, but now I have too many. I would love some stone pendants though, in a small size, not too fancy. I love labradorite, moonstone, bloodstone, garnet, citrine, clear quartz. My absolute favorite is Labradorite though. What's your favorite Halloween Music? Eh not too into it. Unless it was some cool pagan Samhain music! that'd be awesome (in the vein of Faun, Medieval Babes or something) 9/22/10 Do you have a deviantart print wishlist or favourites list? For some reason, I have never been that into deviantart. Is there anything from Blooddrop that you want to try? GC? Halloween update? I haven't tried anything by Blooddrop, but I would absolutely love to! What kind of shoes do you need/want? What size shoes do you wear? Would you mind gently used shoes? No shoes, thanks. I am really picky about my shoes. Do you like paper dolls (new or vintage) or coloring in books? I always thought those adult coloring books were awesome! no paper dolls, please, they would probably end up in the clutter pile! Do you like weird scary things as traditionally girly fashion items like heels and handbags? I'm not quite sure what this means, probably not. What song is on heavy rotation for you right now? Archive's "Again" and Rasputina's "My Night Sky" Are you coveting any of the NYCC atmospheric sprays? not really. I'd love to try some though. Would you (assumin' you're a yarnie) be interested in a naturally-dyed yarn that's designed to very gradually fade with washing? That would be cool to experiment with! If you have played before, what are some of the most memorable things you've gotten? What really made you go WOW? If you haven't played, same thing, but not limited to SW. A few Halloweens ago, I got an awesome black fleece blanket with white skeletons on it from a Witch. I have used that blanket as my "knitting/cuddle" couch blanket for years now, it kept me warm while I had H1N1 last year, my dog loves cuddling with it. I'm sure it didn't cost very much, but it's just awesome! 9/21/10 Do you like garlic? Do you REALLY like garlic? Would you want to try some really unusual garlic stuff, like garlic cheese or garlic fudge or garlic chocolate, etc., etc., etc.? no thanks. I like garlic plain! Can I talk to you about the living dead? How do you feel about Zombies? meh. I used to love Zombie movies but now they have become so trite and hackneyed. However I did see a newer zombie movie that really impressed me lately, and that was Fido. 9/20/10 If you happened to be my Witchee, is there something you'd like from the Arcana Halloween update? I'd love to try anything, honestly. I have been wanting to try Arcana's scents for ages. How many bottles of BPAL do you have? 57, but like others have said, I go through them every couple of months and weed, selling or swapping the ones I either don't ever wear, or have been keeping for odd reasons other than actually liking them Is there any exercise program that you're interesting in learning? Meditation, Yoga, Pilates, Belly Dancing, Zumba ect? Or if you do any of these (or anything else sport related) are there any things you need/want? Candles, music, mats, water bottles ect? Hmm. Not really I guess. Anyone else into Emily Autumn? I tried listening to some of her stuff but her voice kind of annoys me. What's on your walls? Please show us up to three paintings/posters/whatever. If you love a painting so much that you would steal (to watch it with your greedy eyes) one, please share. I'll have to do this later as I am running out of time! What's your take on homemade apple butter? Want some? Yes, if there was a way you could make it without adding sugar to it, that would be SO awesome!!

9/19/10 Do you read/like fantasy? What kind of books or authors do you love? Which one would you like to read? Would you like gifts related to it? I love Neil Gaiman, I am trying to collect all of his children's books (I have none yet). I'm a bit picky about my fantasy/sci fi. I play Dungeons and Dragons, but I find the themed books rather boring. I like it when real life characters are thrust into fantasy worlds and learn about themselves through their experiences. Some of the DnD books (and Game of Thrones, etc) are just really hard for me to relate to. Soaps : do you like them? What brands? What scents? Anything you're dying to try? I like soap! I would love to try Paintbox soapworks, but honestly at this point I think I have enough soap! 9/18/10 Who likes hair toys, and if so what kind? Hair sticks!! Ketylos are my favorite, I prefer short sticks, around 5" in length and I usually prefer unadorned sticks crafted in real wood ( I love the different colors though, and one exception to the real wood only rule is Dymondwood!). So far I have one 5" Ketylo in rosewood, and one 5" Dymondwood in Charcoal. I'd love some dark blue and dark purple ones! (I think they are on etsy or ebay as well) Does any art we may send need to be child safe, either in the actually safe sense or the non X rated sense? no kids!! In the knitted/crocheted things area, would you want wrist warmers, 1/2 gloves, a neck warmer(the kind that pretty much just goes around your neck and maybe fastens instead of being long and loose like a scarf), slippers, or hats? I would love a pair of wrist warmers/fingerless gloves that are NOT bulky (are finely knit), all the rest I can either make myself or learn to make. How do you feel about altered/recycled/upcycled items of clothing or accessories? sure! Is there anything you want from the Violette Market update? I haven't gotten a chance to look honestly, but I do like Violette Market and would like to try anything foody or fruity. What is your favourite habitat and climate to live in? How about to visit? (ie. forest, canyons, mountains, by the beach; temperate, tropical...) northern New England climate!!! What do you wish you could make/craft if you had the know-how and supplies? Specifically, which particular items? I would love to learn how to spin yarn and make cold or hot process soap Is there anything you would like from Conjure Oils general catalogue or the new updates that isn't already on your wishlist? I haven't really looked at that e-tailer Am I alone in this, or is there a Book Fair/Comic Con scent you're dying to get your paws on, too? I'd love to try anything! I am so upset because I have to go to a wedding that very weekend. The same damn weekend that BPAL is finally coming to the Northern East Coast!!!!!!!! That's only 50 miles away from me! arg. Anyone need address/phone type books? no thanks, I don't use those. 9/17/10 Are there any particular movies, tv shows or cd’s that you’ve been meaning to buy for years but just never got round to getting? Would you mind a gently used dvd/cd if your witch had it or could get it?? not really. I use Netflix for movies and I usually buy mp3's from itunes. Is there anything from the Possets' Hallowe'en update you're lusting after? I have tried Possets, and really didn't like most of the scents I tried, so no thanks. Would you like a custom/altered toy either from a seller or from your witch (like My Little Pony, or a Barbie or any particular toy that can be changed?) nah, that's okay. I have too much random stuff cluttering up my house. Anne Taintor, anyone? I have no idea who that is sorry. Which web comics do you enjoy? Suggest one to me! 9/16/10 If I were to knit a scarf, would you prefer a skinny one, or a wide one? A short one, that when wrapped once around your neck will just tuck under your jacket, or a long one, at least to your waist? Don't like scarves? Would a rectangular shawl or triangular shawl be more to your taste? I can make my own scarves but a nice shawl would be nice. I feel like I already answered this question though. How do you feel about recipes? I would love any low carb, low sodium recipes! Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program? I make my own food usually. If you are someone who doesn't want baked goods sent, would you like a collection of some of my favorite recipes? yes of course! How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients? no thanks, I can't really eat things like that if you are a tea lover, what are your flavor preferences? Green? Black? Herbal (I know, technically those are NOT teas, but tisanes)? Flavored blacks/greens? I really like fruity teas, Earl Grey and Vanilla Chai. Green tea is okay but I kind of have to be in the mood for it. 9/15/10 How do you feek about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? Sure! not too much though, because I have a small house inhabited by hoarders, and though I share the hoarding gene, I am able to resist it somehow so I really try to limit the clutter potential. Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? Can't really think of any right now. I am looking forward to the new Stephen King book but I have that on preorder (for November) check out my amazon wishlist! Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favourite? Would you like to receive mangas or anything related to them? Yes yes and yes!! I want more Chibi Vampire (#4), Pixie pop (#2) and Blood+ (any) manga. Most anime I don't buy because I can just watch it on Netflix. Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? of course! OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? I like knee high, not too thick and stripes in dark colors. How do people feel about word magnets that could be cool for my new apartment next year! 9/14/10 For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? honestly tea bags. I like loose leaf but its way too much hassle and I hate cleaning out the little metal tea diffuser. If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I would love an old fashioned Victorian style shawl in a dark color! I am pretty set on scarves though, I make them myself and I have around 4 million. lol. Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? yes, all of the above! (as I said before, I am moving out with my boyfriend in 6 months or so. Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? I like both live and studio, and screw edited versions, they always suck. If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most? cats cats cats cats cats Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I LOVE lilies. My boyfriend still doesn't know what lilies are so when he buys me flowers he always ends up trying to get me what HE thinks are lilies and they aren't.. lol. Yes I have shown him pictures of lilies all the time, even pointed them out in real life, but he still can't remember. I like roses to a lesser degree. What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do) Blue Pumpkin Floss (the prototype, not the Halloweenie) Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. no kids, just cats Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that sure! I can't really think of anything though, honestly. NaNoWriMo? I don't know. I might try it. Its going to be crazy hectic this semester, but its always going to be crazy hectic in the Fall, and NaNoWriMo is always going to BE in the fall, so I might as well wing it. 9/13/10 what interests you from the latest lab update? Well, I am getting many of the scents in decants soon, but the ones I didn't sign up for in the decant circle that I am interested in trying are: Halloween: New Orleans, October 2010 (or 2009 for that matter), Wild Swans at Coole, Pomegranate III How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? I love all that stuff, and I can put it to good use as well! Anything cute, especially Japanese/Korean themed stuff, sanrio-like, or anything retro would be awesome. I love pens notebooks and notecards especially. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Probably not, I can't have much sodium =( If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Of course!!! Would you like something you have to make yourself? Like assemble myself, or like a craft kit? sure, I love putting things together! Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Yes, that would make it even better! Who is your favorite soap etailer? Villainess definitely. Though honestly I haven't really tried many others. I'd like to try Paintbox soapworks, Magic Hands and really anything else. What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? OMG yes! I love vintage everything. Mostly Victorian (which is hard to find sometimes, I know) 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's Honestly, if its any kind of vintage, you've got me sold. Teacups would be so so awesome, as long as they have matching saucers. I want to try to start a collection of random vintage teacups with their own matching saucers. And reproductions ones would be okay too, as long as they were good ones. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? Honestly, I have no preference at all. What ever would work best for my witch, I'm not demanding and I would actually be ecstatic with whatever my witch decided to send me, even if it was like, one thing What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? Lately I have been wearing a lot of neutral colors, I have been straying away from bright pinks, purples and reds like I used to wear. I like neutral (on the cool side though) eye shadows, shimmery highlighters, etc. I usually wear Everyday minerals foundation and powder, but my BIG love (which I use all the time) is MAC Fluidline in black. I would really like to try other colors, or try some of the coastal scents gel eyeliners that everyone keeps raving about. My favorite eye shadow brand is Urban Decay, and I've been trying to find their eye shadow in Lounge for so long but I think it might be discontinued =( Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you'd date/have relations with ) (this is really hard because I don't really feel sexually attracted to most famous people, I'm usually only attracted to my boyfriend): #1 Christian Bale (before Batman, around the Little Women era ) #2 Chris Corner (less because of his looks, and more because I fell in love with him through his music) #3 a younger Johnny Depp (I know that's cliche, but I think its also because he's Native American, hehe) #4 Alan Rickman (Sense and Sensibility Alan, NOT Robin Hood Alan, which just shows you how good he is at portraying an evil character) #5 (can't think of anyone else, but I'll come back and edit when I think of someone) Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? Nah I'm good with a moderate to low contact witch. I understand that my witch may have a busy life (just like me) and might not have enough time to send me e-cards all the time =) Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? It's in the works. I have a BPAL spreadsheet, but I honestly don't have that much time to go through it and mark it all. Plus about 2/3 of the scents I have tested, I tested a long time ago. So my wishlist is probably the best bet! Also, if my witch thinks I might like something based on the notes he/she knows I like but its not on my wishlist, by all means I would love to try it! Do you like maple sugar candy? Yeah, its okay. But no candy please. What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? I haven't tried it, but I would prefer no candy please (unless, like I have stated in another answer, it is a very small amount of candy corn or something that won't wreck my diet!) If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? Yeah that'd be awesome! Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Garlic, onion powder, powdered clove ( I put it in my henna mixture for my hair) Microsoft or Apple? I had an Apple for 6 years, so I am very familiar with it, but I know have a PC (I just couldn't afford another Apple after my first one died =( ) Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? My boyfriend go to Cape Cod every summer to his Aunt's beach house. I love getting my favorite flavor ice cream (peppermint stick) and watching the whole sun set, sitting on the rocks at the beach. Oh and another really favorite thing of mine is campfires. Going to Cape Cod or going camping or anything like that is not a real vacation unless there is a campfire. Luckily my boyfriend is an ex-Eagle Scout, so he taught me how to make an awesome one. And we just sit there, the two of us, for hours (no TV or internet) and we talk and talk and drink beers and its so much fun. (I love my boyfriend, if you couldn't already tell) Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? Yes of course!! Handwritten letters are awesome, but I'm not usually good about being a penpal unfortunately, because I never seem to have the time to sit down and write a letter. 9/12/10 Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot? I have one!!!!! http://www.last.fm/user/lamhnain-maire Any countries you're interested in? Yes, Japan and Ireland. I am currently learning Japanese as a foreign language requirement for my Master's degree. I am a voracious lover of sushi and I am obsessed with Japanese culture, manga, anime and honestly everything about Japan. Ireland I am interested in studying the history of, also the celtic legends and myths, I feel connected to it due to my heritage. I also have an interest in French culture and French cooking. I loved watching the movie Julie and Julia, and I'd love to eventually get Julia Child's famous "Mastering French Cooking" book for my lifetime cookbook collection. Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? oh that would be awesome!! I would love that. If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Of course!!! I am not picky, if my witch made me something, I would love its imperfections if there were any! Are you a foodie? I think I have the potential to be, I'm just not in a place financially that I can surrender to the desire. I do value quality very very much, and I love eating organic as much as I can. Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? We're Red Sox fans!! though we have never been like rabid fans of anything, its more just for fun. For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? I like cutesy, vintage and gothic Halloween styles. Not campy and REALLY not inflatable! Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks?Yes yes yes!! I have tons I haven't used, there is just something I love about blank books. so many possibilities! 9/11/10 Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type? no thank you. I may try making them myself though, for my brother's b-day. are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? no thanks, I have a ton already. Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Eh, no thanks. Unless it is Anne Rice , or it was written before 1900. If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? Ooh, well I have a Nintendo DS and I only have one game for it, Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass. I'd love another Zelda game, or a Pokemon game! How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? pressed flowers would be nice! If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be? Oh man: Red Moon 2004, Gothabilly, Loviatar Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? I haven't ordered anything yet. I plan on taking part in the Inquisition and I hope to get anything but the Licorice scent. The Marshmallow Pumpkin scent sounds the best to me. I need t-shirts though! If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) I'd love some cool yarn in jeweltones! Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up? I have rather... eclectic and eccentric taste: 1. Marooned by The Gathering 2. Batman by Alien Sex Fiend 3. Give In to Me by Michael Jackson 4. Earth Intruders by Bjork 5. Walking in London by Concrete Blonde Soundtracks you'd like? none that I can think of... If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Regina Spektor, or Tori Amos 9/10/10 Would you like a bag of dried Honeycrisp apples? omg yes! I love apples sooo much. If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials? I've had reactions to angora. I like dark jewel colors, and I typically hate browns yellows and oranges Gift Certificate: physical or email? oh it doesn't matter. whatever works best! Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? I like Macintosh Spice, Autumn Leaves, Autumn Wreath, and I REALLY love Beach Walk and China Sea (if they still make it!) would you like a zuni animal fetish? And if so, what animal? I have to say that I would probably appreciate a mountain lion fetish more than anything, like EVER. I know it is kind of hard to obtain unless it is specifically Zuni made, as most mainstream things are about African lions. But I'd also appreciate a carved Lion or Snow leopard, as they are extremely similar in symbolism. (look at this picture of a Snow Leopard I very luckily caught at the Bronz Zoo!!! http://www.facebook....4&ref=fbx_album he/she was right in front of my face!! )My totem is the mountain lion, I have had many dreams of a female mountain lion protecting me, and constantly beside me, and I feel so attached to her, I sort of feel like she is actually there. My mother raised me teaching me what she could about my Native American (Abenaki) heritage and background, so this means so very much to me. I had a garnet once (I think I bought it at a new age shop at one point, but I didn't realize the shape until after) that reminded me of a female lion's (no mane) head. I kept that stone with me for strength all the time, but then I lost it and I've been mourning it ever since And how does everyone feel about glow in the dark radishes? that sounds cool! though I can't say I am quite partial to radishes. http://www.etsy.com/...=cat1_gallery_8 What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Starbucks, Target, Wal-Mart, B&N, a favorite restaurant or clothing shop? Please no Wal-mart gift cards, I really hate that store and refuse to give them my money. I actually prefer online gift cards over in store gift cards. I got an online one once for Dark Candles and I still remember how awesome that was. 9/9/10 What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child? Poltergeist, especially the part where the kid get sucked into the closet. I've been afraid of closets in the dark ever since. Name a couple of sites you frequent other than this one last.fm (screen name is lamhnain-maire), Long Hair Community (LHC), facebook (mostly for frontierville), gmail, ebay, amazon Do you like the Muppets? Which is your favorite? ERNIE! I was obsessed with him as a kid. If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be? a female lion Comfort Rereads?: Harry Potter, Anne Rice's Mayfair witches series, Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Neverwhere, Stephen King's Rose Madder, Louisa May Alcott's A Long Fatal Love Chase and Little Women. Will you be going out of town during the round, or is there any other time during the round when it would not be ideal for you to receive a package from your witch? Nope, I'll be around! If you are in school now, what classes are you taking? Does anything you are currently studying really interest you? (if you are not in school, is there anything you are trying to learn?) I am taking a Nathaniel Hawthorne class (through which I am generally learning much about the Puritains, though from a secondary source of course), An English Victorian History class, an Imperialism class and a creative writing poetry class. All of which I am insanely interested in I got to choose my classes for once. What animal would your daemon be? Alternately, your patronus. My daemon quiz said a Snow Leopard,. That quiz got me spot on in how independent I am. Either that or a Mountain Lion. What's YOUR favorite word? I have a lot of favorite words. I didn't choose to be an editor or an English major for nothing! One word that comes to mind is antebellum. Steampunk, yay or nay? If yay, what part appeals most?I like the idea a LOT but I don't think I could really pull off wearing anything (I usually wear simple things now) Maybe if it wasn't too outlandish, like a very small pendant. I do like spats, but that's more generally Victorian than specifically steampunk.

Baked goods: no thank you. I feel bad saying no because I know there will be some witches who won't have much money but pleaseplease don't send any sort of food or candy. It's for a personal reason, I can let my witch know privately is he/she is interested. Tea would be AWESOME though. Goodies for other family: Sure! my boyfriend loves foody scents like chocolate and cookies and vanilla caramel. He is looking for a new candle for his room. He's into D&D very much, he DM's and is always looking for cool miniatures. Kitty toys would be loved to bits! Little stuff vs. big stuff: I love getting little things here and there, but I also love getting big packages, so it is up to my witch. Pretty much, either way I'm happy lol. Social networking: I have a facebook, just look up my full name. I have an LJ but I keep it private, you can still look at my user info though, my name there is garnetmaire. my myspace http://www.myspace.com/darkbird but i don't use it anymore, so its a bit outdated. Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Most of the things on my wishlist I have already tried and I want more of! There are some things on my wishlist I haven't tried though, but those are identified lol How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? I really love extra big pj bottoms because they are comfy. I'd love to get some halloween themed pj bottoms! L or XL are perfect (not my size, I just like them big!) - Are you into Austen's books? Yes! I don't like the whole Jane Austen and zombie thing though. I think its stupid and a bit disrespectful. - Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I used to read my own cards, I'd like to get back into it, but I need an original Rider Waite deck to learn off of instead of all the pretty yet complicated decks I have. - Mix CD: omg yes!!!!!!!!!!! -Harry Potter house: Ravenclaw!! I even made a dark blue and silver striped scarf for myself last winter, only because I didn't like the original bronze and dark blue color scheme. - soft things: I would really like a pair of mittens that converts into fingerless gloves. I wear fingerless gloves religiously in the Fall/winter, but always wished I had a pair of the aforementioned for when its REALLY cold. **************************************** Halloween Plans: hopefully not having H1N1 like last year! Ugh that sucked! TV Guilty Pleasures: I honestly don't feel guilty about anything I watch. Most mainstream American TV I honestly don't like, especially reality TV and a lot of popular shows like True Blood and whatnot. It just doesn't appeal to me, all the actors look the same, the storylines seem all the same, nothing seems original to me anymore. I find most originality in comedy like Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Tim and Eric Awesome Show and most History documentaries / geeky science or nature shows. HOWEVER, if you think there is a show that I would really really like, by all means try me. I did like the Tin Man series on Sci Fi, and I like Dexter, and I am REALLY into anime. I'm hoping that someone can recommend me a very good anime because I am almost done with the series Blood + and I do all my knitting while watching so I need recommendations! Cosplay/Costumes: eh not really. I never got the point of cosplay, in fact it really turns me off. I am however trying to think of a really cool Halloween costume for this year. E-books: I prefer real books. Its a psychological thing. I feel like if I read a book electronically, I'm not really reading it haha. That and a computer screen tends to give me eye strain if I try to read for too long. Scented Tarts: scented tarts are cool. I have a tart warmer, but honestly I prefer votive candles because they are easier to use and the cats are less likely to knock over a ton of melted wax. I would like to try out Dark Candles' tarts though, check my SW list in my sig for the scents I like. Body Mods: nostril (may be getting a septum with a small subtle ring at some point, even though my bf is totally against the idea ), I have one tattoo but hope to get another one for my birthday on the 14th this month, I have lots of ear piercings and I really need more captive rings in a 18 or 16g, size 5/16ths, and I have stretched lobes in a 4g, currently deciding whether or not to keep them though at this point. I'd like to get more piercings someday. Lip balms: I love lip balms, but I really don't use any unless they are organic. I hate MyLipStuff balms (sorry guys) because they are way too liquidy, they melt easily and I usually just feel like I have flavored oil on my lips There is one exception to the organic lip balm rule, and that is Rosebud Salve's Strawberry lip balm from Sephora. I really need another one of these because my last tin got lost! Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some: No thank you. Normally I would say yes, but it is for the same reason as with food goodies. What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) FsC! http://www.fscwasteland.com/ She did the first series of illustrations for Nightmares and Fairytales and Jhonen Vasquez. I'm also really into Art Nouveau (not so much Deco) and paintings done during the Aesthetic movement, especially the medieval ones! how do you feel about mortars and pestles I have one, but I don't use it really Is there anything you have a phobia of, or that would make you go "squick" if you saw it in a package? not really, unless you plan on packing a spider! Fake spiders are okay though =) *************************************** What is your favourite snack food, something you could grab any time? probably wasabi peas, hummus and baby carrots Ebooks no thanks, I like real books Nail Polish: Ooh yes please! I like dark colors only. What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do? woodcrafting/woodburning, more embroidery, more crochet techniques For those who decorate for Halloween, do you prefer cute decorations or creepy ones?: both!! I love all Halloween decorations. Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favourites if you do like them? Nah I was never really into them. It bothers me that the original fairy tales have been forgotten because of that stupid conglomerate (won't get into it much more because I know there are Disney fans on here!) I am a BIG fan of old folk tales and fairy tales though. Do you have A VCR, DVD Player or Blue Ray or a combo of the three? DVD player, and my bf has a Blue Ray player. When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? Hmm. Unless it is from the same seller and is ALMOST identical, I'd rather not honestly. I am pretty picky when it comes to accessories and things. You can always just ask me lol. What would the name of your custom blend be? The description? something with sweet red apple and patchouli, and a touch of nag champa! Or a nice amber like in the Lion, with some nag champa! I'm not quite good with names, because I'd have to smell it first! ********************************* Favorite horror movie: Probably May. I love indie horror, like too much. I am also a fanatic for J-Horror and K-Horror, but it is extremely hard to find much on Netflix or On Demand. I would love to get some, especially the 3 extremes series. Favorite scary book or story: That's hard to choose, I have been a Stephen King fan since I was 12, Anne Rice as a teenager, Poppy Z. Brite was a favorite in college, I just love horror as long as its not Dean Koontz Socks: I love socks! I love stripey knee highs in dark colors What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? teas, cuddling, a soft blanket, watching a favorite TV show, being with my boyfriend always makes me feel better Would you like custom icons as a gift? sure! I think I would most appreciate a banner for my etsy shop. I'm rather incompetent when it comes to computer art, which sucks because I'm good at nearly everything else! Also, as part of the cute-or-creepy question, would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock? That sounds cool, sure! I'd love a new tart warmer, as mine is kind of yucky now. COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? Yes!!! I used to be obsessed with Jhonen Vasquez's I Feel Sick comic books (there are 2) and someone stole them (or they could have gotten lost) and I have been mourning them ever since I love comics from Slave Labor Graphics, including Lenore, Nightmares and Fairytales (I have all of those though) but it shows that I like really dark underground stuff. I also love manga, and I need more Chibi Vampire!! (I have 1-3 lol) **************************************** Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? Mountain Lion. After that, really any type of big cat, I really like Snow Leopards I also really like bears and birch trees. Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff? No thank you. I have too many bpal boxes! Though I do need another plastic ammo box for imps. If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be? Jo March from Little Women. I have probably given this answer like 20 other times in previous SW round questions! I also really REALLY like Saya from Blood + If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? I would like to have been born in 1870 in America as a woman, so that I could experience the extravagance of the Gilded Age, the gradual social liberation of women, and muckraking of the Progressive era. Or I would have liked to lived through the 1920's as a young rebellious lady I would like to have been a part of the Women's rights movement, to meet Susan B. Anthony and Stanton. Aside from all that I think what I would like most is to go back to my Native roots and live amongst the Abenakis in Vermont, before the French missionaries and Englishman drove them away and into Quebec. Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat? Candy corn and those Pumpkins. Even though I said I can't have any food or candy, if you sent a TINY amount of these (like a serving or two) I'd be very happy (calorie safe) and content =) Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart? No thanks, I can make my own =) Warm drinks? I love chai teas (not the syrups, the actual tea), earl greys, hot apple cider and hot cocoa. I would be interested in trying a really good sugar free brand of apple cider (I've heard they exist!) and cocoa MISC: Someone mentioned that their relative would love random household items, and I have to say, my boyfriend and I will be moving in to our first place within 6 months, so we will definitely need random household stuff like spatulas, cooking spices, wooden spoons, that sort of thing.

I can't come to a decision on whether I like the released version of Blue Pumpkin Floss. I tried the prototype and it was amazing, so I was excited to buy a bottle of the released version. The prototype is much more like cotton candy, more blackberry, with a slight hint of pure pumpkin (not buttery) and pumpkin type spices. The released version is very complex, much more spicy and very buttery, with only a hint of the cotton candy sugary-ness and I can't detect any hint of blackberry. When I tested the released Blue Pumpkin Floss I got such a strange smell from it at times (since the scent changes alot) and after about an hour of trying to think of what it reminded me of, I realized that it smells like chicken broth bullion cubes. No lie. I don't know how that happened?? Only at times though, because at other times, the pumpkin spices and the buttery pumpkin came through, and very slightly, the cotton candy. Unfortunately, I think I will have to stick with the prototype version of Blue Pumpkin Floss (if I can find it!). Maybe it is just my skin chemistry, but I really don't want to smell like a chicken broth bullion cube I will test it one more time before I decide to swap my bottle or anything.

Boo 2010 is AWESOME. I can't compare it to last years because I have not tested that one. While wet, the milky note is more apparent, but the sugar sweetness is just perfect. Normally I don't much like "milk" notes because it makes me smell like I poured milk all over myself or something, but this is evenly balanced with the sugar sweetness. It reminds me very much of those Japanese milk chew candies called White Rabbits, I am even reminded of the rice paper film covering! I can't really detect any 'cotton' notes, but it might just be too subtle for my anti-analytical nose! When dry it reminds me more of Snow White, but more confectionary and less floral. This is my favorite so far of the 2010 Halloweenies (though I haven't tried much yet!)

So, I was generously gifted a testable sniffie of this by a forumite and when I smelled it in the vial, I said to myself: "Phew! it's really strong patchouli, I don't have to worry about falling in love." But then I put it on. Firstly, I don't hate patchouli, I like it actually, just not when it is very strong and usually not as a single note. This was semi-strong patchouli on my skin, but it did something really remarkable as it dried, and I kept sniffing my wrist because it was so cool. As I sniffed, I would instantly smell patchouli, but then as I took my nose away and inhaled normally (breathing), I kept smelling this orange creamsicle sort of scent! As if the patchouli notes left my nose and left behind that orange vanilla in my nose! It was so cool. Then after a while (maybe 1/2 an hour), on my skin, the patchouli started to meld with the orange creamsicle scent. Then after another 1/2 an hour, it was JUST the orange creamsicle scent. And it smelled so familiar to me, outside of the orange creamsicle reference, and finally I realized that it smelled exactly like Cocoa Pink's the Un-red fragrance, just richer and with patchouli. So this is the first time I have tested a sought after rare and fell in love. And I just don't fall in love with anything. This is an automatic top ten LE. I guess there is a first time for everything? I need a bottle now, but I'm not sure how exactly I will manage to get one!

I'm not sure if this helps, but I use Yvaine or TKO for a bedtime scent because of their lavender notes. TKO has vanilla, but it is very lavender as well.

This is the perfect patchouli on me, even though patchouli isn't listed as a note. It reminds me of a cologne my uncle always wears: clean, elegant, masculine, musky. I put the TINIEST drop on my wrist to test it, knowing it would be strong. I love this one and will definitely wear it!

I am going to be wearing Snow White at a wedding tonight <3

All those sound awesome. I'll have to look around for decants. I think I will wear Raven Moon to DnD next week. As I am a Drow who mainly reveres the Raven Queen instead of Lolth (SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Any DnD people have ideas for a Drow Assassin? definitely something with opoponax. I was sniffing the Velvets from Neverwhere and it seemed appropriate (though I didn't much care for it) Edited because I'm a dummy
