Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?
no thanks.
Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?
arcana seems to make few scents i can wear anymore, because i can't do the milk/fruity notes, buuut i wouldn't mind trying serve in heaven. i think that one might work on me. and hobbedy's lantern soap sounds good, i am able to do a lot of soap scents that otherwise won't work in a perfume.
Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting
i got in a decant circle, so i didn't order bottles or anything, but got the following scents, to try, to see if i then need, excuse me, want bottles:
A Nocturnal Reverie
Ghosts in Love
La Calavera Catrina
Le Revenant
Sonnet D'Automne
The Vampire Bride
Death Embraces a Young Maiden
aaaand from BPTP., sample amounts of tears of the seraphim bath brew and honey pumpkin stout soap.
Witches - speak to me of shower gels! What companies/scents do you recommend/prefer?
i love lush olive branch, and i have recently fallen in love with dr. bronner's almond. i also like weleda, but have only tried the rose, which is nice. i've been more of a soap person lately, but am getting back into shower gels now too, so i totally wouldn't mind trying some new brands (the more natural the better!) i am really into etsy stores for bath and body products too...but i've mostly bought soap on there.
Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? FAIRY wings?
no thank you.
How do you feel about terrariums?
love em! i want to make one, i've been gathering supplies, and apparently my friend knows how, and wants to teach me. i actually contemplated taking a class at paxton gate, but haven't done so yet.
What's your favorite horror movie?
oh god, there is more than just one! evil dead 2, for laughs. and i like rosemary's baby, phenomena, suspiria, the shining, and lots of 70s giallo horror. and 70s horror in general. i also like weird, surreal kind of creepy coming-of-age films like valerie and her week of wonders and the company of wolves.
Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay?
i finally read some lovecraft finally recently, and i really liked it! but i am not obsessed w/ cthulu, so i guess...nay?
If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.
the things i get everyday use out of are: a natural soap in a scent i like, dr. bronner's or a shampoo bar and tea. i use facial products but they are pricey.
Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?
i read some in high school. it was ok, but i am not a big fan of english literature. i tend to gravitate to french/german stuff more for some reason.
Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?
yes, i like art nouveau and art deco stuff, as well as some victorian. i actually like a wide-range, but mostly the late 1800s-1920s i guess.
If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc?
i am not into manga at all, and the only comics i ever got into were gothy ones.

hmm, not really into pumpkin, though right around halloween i may burn one or two pumpkin/fall scented votives.

egads, i have so many! i have actually been keeping a list :blush:
here are some (sorry can't pick just one!): candelabra, threshold, idolatry, clandestine, begotten and phosphorescence.
Question: Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives?
tarts and votives for me! but for some reason i tend to use tarts more in winter? i get more use out of candles/incense but do welcome tarts, i just don't use them as often.
Question: What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?
savory, salty and spicy. i have a total salt tooth, much more than a sweet tooth. i love super pretzels, salted nuts of all kinds, etc.

Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?
no thanks.
Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?
arcana seems to make few scents i can wear anymore, because i can't do the milk/fruity notes, buuut i wouldn't mind trying serve in heaven. i think that one might work on me. and hobbedy's lantern soap sounds good, i am able to do a lot of soap scents that otherwise won't work in a perfume.
Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting
i got in a decant circle, so i didn't order bottles or anything, but got the following scents, to try, to see if i then need, excuse me, want bottles:
A Nocturnal Reverie
Ghosts in Love
La Calavera Catrina
Le Revenant
Sonnet D'Automne
The Vampire Bride
Death Embraces a Young Maiden
aaaand from BPTP., sample amounts of tears of the seraphim bath brew and honey pumpkin stout soap.
Witches - speak to me of shower gels! What companies/scents do you recommend/prefer?
i love lush olive branch, and i have recently fallen in love with dr. bronner's almond. i also like weleda, but have only tried the rose, which is nice. i've been more of a soap person lately, but am getting back into shower gels now too, so i totally wouldn't mind trying some new brands (the more natural the better!) i am really into etsy stores for bath and body products too...but i've mostly bought soap on there.

What's your favorite horror movie?
oh god, there is more than just one! evil dead 2, for laughs. and i like rosemary's baby, phenomena, suspiria, the shining, and lots of 70s giallo horror. and 70s horror in general. i also like weird, surreal kind of creepy coming-of-age films like valerie and her week of wonders and the company of wolves.
Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay?
i finally read some lovecraft finally recently, and i really liked it! but i am not obsessed w/ cthulu, so i guess...nay?
If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.
the things i get everyday use out of are: a natural soap in a scent i like, dr. bronner's or a shampoo bar and tea. i use facial products but they are pricey.
Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?
