Spring Cleaning v4.0 2015 Q&A

1.Ladies and gents, if you're comfortable receiving clothing, what size(s)? Any particular types of clothing (skirts, oversized t-shirts for crafting, work clothing)? How do you feel about shoes that were bought, worn once, and never brought out of the closet again? Ditto this for anyone else in your household who might appreciate wearables.   I am a L in BPTP tissue tees, XL in just about anything else, including Tee Fury and Threadless. Otherwise, I'm a 12-14 in bottoms (usually larger in pants, smaller in skirts unless they are super form fitting, generally skirts are somewhat safer because I am about the bass, as it were), I don't wear much in the way of button ups because boobage. On the weekends it's pretty much tees- either TP or geeky tee fury type stuff and jeans for me, and pretty business formal during the week. Shoes: I wear a US 8, I love me some funky Fluevogs, or sandals in the summer. I'm trying to keep heels to no more than 1.5 inches because my calves are not what they used to be. Totally happy to take anything that fits this description off your hands.   2.How do you feel about socks that were very briefly on fresh-out-of-the-shower feet & then removed when it was discovered they didn't fit? Absolutely! I do have pretty monster calves, so I have the same "gee these are adorbs except for the circulation in my legs" issue, and I have a couple of pairs in my hope to find a home pile myself.   3.How do you feel about vinyl designer toys? (Ex super7, kidrobot, etc) I've never really gotten into these, which basically means I'm a clean slate. Someone mentioned Lego, which is my obsession. Otherwise, my fandoms are Harry Potter (Ravenclaw represent), Doctor Who (especially 9/Rose), Star Wars, Firefly, GOT (sort of, though I've only read the books), pretty much anything Gaiman related, LOTR sort of.   4.What kind of makeup and/or nail polish would you be interested in receiving? What kind of colors do you like? Sure! I covet bright colors for eyes and lips and could actually use some sort of setting "glue" for sparkly shadows (I know there's a name for this, but search me). Also, I search forever for non-black or brown mascaras (especially need blue-black, but love other colors too). I do not need facial care stuff or foundation/powder and I never wear blush, so anything along those lines would just get a home in the next round of BBBoxes. 5.Speaking of books, are there any books you WOULD NOT READ if something happened to fall into your package? My goodreads has a ton of info about my preferences, but jumping of an earlier answer, I would NOT be interested in anything religious at all, including pagan stuff. I'm an avowed atheist, so it's just not my scene. Otherwise, I'm not real big on non-fiction or much from before 1940 or so. 6.Are there any other hoarders collectors of nail polish? All the bright sparkly colors for my toes. I don't really wear/need neutrals and don't care much for matte.   7. Any hobbies/crafts you would really like supplies for? Similarly, any that you just *really* don't need more stuff of? I keep saying that I want to start doing cross stitch and embroidery again and I can always use polymer clay and related supplies, beads, and jewelry fittings.   8.Are you interested in anything for your kitchen? Pots/pans/gadgets/small appliances/etc. In terms of need, probably not. But I could find a good use for a salad spinner, double boiler, madeline and bakeware. Fun dishtowels and spatulas are cool. And wooden spoons.   9.How about fashion accessories??? I have super short hair, so don't really use hair accessories, but my daughter has really long hair and is growing out her bangs right now, so she would get use out of hair clips, headbands and the like. I have a lot of scarves and such as well, so I don't really need more, but if something seems perfect, I'd be happy to adopt it.   10. Used makeup? I'm not terribly picky about my makeup, other than mascara. No non-cleanly tested mascara, please.   11.Would you like to try anything that may not be so easily available in your country, for those of you who may get an international person? Sure!   12.Kids' stuff? I have a daughter who will turn 5 during the swap who loves owls and rainbows and birds and dolphins. Gently used clothes in a size 5 or above are totally cool, as are Kindergarten age appropriate books and such. I also have an 11 year old son who is gigantic and totally pubescent and who will take anything military history related off your hands.   13.Are there any styles/colors of handbags you won't carry? Anything in the biege/brown/white/yellow/orange spectrum or anything too canvasy utilitarian or patchwork hippy-chic. Otherwise, I prefer cross body bags that are kind of classy-funky, if that makes any sense.   14.Do you play video games & would you be interested in recieving games? If yes, what systems do you have & what types of games do you like? Sure! Personally, I mostly play adventure/HO games on my kindle (think Big Fish/G4), but we do have a Wii that I wish I had more time for and my son and husband play all the time. They are also angling for an Xbox.   15.Are you a BPAL only person, or do you wear other perfumes as well? BPAL only please!   16.Do you have pets and if so what?   Two cats and a tank of guppies, none of whom need anything. The cats don't really like treats and catnip gives one of ours a really bad trip, so we avoid it. Cool aquarium accessories might get some love, I guess.   17. Bath/beauty stuff? Ie oils, salts, bubbles? Masks, bb creams? All the bath stuff. ALL OF IT! Except for non-cleansing scrubs. I have SO many jars of non-cleansing scrubs that I really really should not adopt more. But all the foaming scrubs. I am pretty set for a skincare routine as well, but am always on the look out for a good charcoal face wash to tempt me away from my current decidedly uncool Mary Kay regimen.   18. If you are a dustpan who would like to receive yarn, are you particular about said yarn? Wool allergies? Irrational hatred of acrylics? Can you use partial balls (like I used maybe 50 yards of a 200 yard skein), or do you only use certain weights? Please no yarn. I have no use for it unless you're making something out of it before you sent it to me. No fabric, either, while I'm thinking of it.   19. How does everyone feel about CDs and DVDs? Any preferences? Sure, but I have no idea how to even begin to guide this question, other than to send you to my amazon wishlist.   20. Hey, how do people feel about stripes? Say, black and white stripes? Stripes are love. 21. Do you have any interest or use for anything tarot-related? Not really. 22. Do you like cats? Actual cats are great, have 2. Not that big on stuff with cats on it, unless it's kind of weird (like a cat in a space helmet or something, not anything super cutsie). 23. Do you collect anything? Not super comprehensively, but I like gargoyles and creepy critters. My daughter will take anything you have with owls on it. Lego is probably the biggest thing, now that I think of it. We have several hundred of the actual sets and probably close to a million bricks all told. So there's that. I also love sticker books and adult coloring books and my daughter likes the youngling variety. Son is in a big military history kick right now. 24. Also, I've unearthed a ton of stuff from the regifting heap, so do you have any use for a potpourri container, a bright purple reusable water bottle, or a Massage Envy gift card? As noted in thread, I will take all water bottles or travel mugs that are in good condition and I'd happily find a use for Massage Envy. No potpourri please, containers or otherwise.   25. If you are interested in receiving homemade baked goods, do you have any favorites or limitations not mentioned in your questionnaire? Would you like a full list of ingredients included? Homemade baked goods are awesome, no limitations other than what I listed in my questionnaire. Most salient would be please no no-calorie sweeteners or dill. 26. If you are interested in receiving clothing, would you like any belts, sweatpants, or slippers? And do you have color/style preferences? No sweatpants. Belts would be great. Slippers that can go outdoors would be great in dark colors, or cozy socks. 27. If you are interested in receiving books, would you like to receive ebooks? As in, book files I'd send you on a USB drive, that you can read on your computer or e-reader. Sure!   28. How do you feel about barely-used candles? I have no objection to partially burned candles.

Spring Cleaning Swap v4.0 Questionnaire

For ease, I've squashed together all of my questionnaire answers as well as the random questions that came up on the thread here in one space.   Questionnaire ALLERGIES? Eucalyptus (very minor, but causes itching in terms of body washes/perfumes)   FAVORITE SCENTS: Foodie, incense, earthy, rain (BPAL examples: Black Lace, Cake Smash, Smut, Blacker than the Raven Wings of Midnight, Not So Penitent Mini Magdalene, Tempest, Alcie, Snake Charmer Res, Black Ice, Halloween: Las Vegas, Gun Moll)   LEAST FAVORITE SCENTS: Anything heavy on the floral without something to back it up and eucalyptus (see above- allergies)   FAVORITE FOODS/DRINKS/ETC: I like nearly everything. I love to cook and try new things. I often stop by different International marketplaces to pick up new items to try.   PARTICULAR FOOD/DRINK DISLIKES/LIMITATIONS: None   FAVORITE GENRES/AUTHORS/TYPES OF BOOKS: Mainly fiction. Science fiction, fantasy, horror- books to lose yourself in and get caught up in another world. I'm mainly hooked on Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series, The Last Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney, and the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. But I am in a couple of book clubs to get new ideas I wouldn't have normally picked up.   LEAST FAVORITE GENRES/ETC: Textbooks. Haha, but really I actually find most non-fiction rather flat with a couple of exceptions (history and details on graphic design, photography, and cooking).   FAVORITE COLORS: Red, teal, cobalt blue, earthy tones, jewel tones, and black   MOST LOVED FANDOMS: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly/Serenity, Marvel Avengers/Guardians of the Galaxy ...can you see a Joss Whedon trend? JEWELRY PREFERENCES: Longer length necklaces and rings- I like all sorts of funky designs. I also have several sets of piercings in my ears- the first set being gauged to 00. CANDLES/INCENSE/TARTS? Candles or tarts- foodie scents (baked goods- cinnamon/vanilla/almond; fruity- apple/cranberry/exotic) or fresh scents (beachy/linen) ANYTHING YOU ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN RECEIVING? Of course I'd love to test out more BPAL but I'm really good with any fun treats: new companies to be exposed to, things that aren't as well loved at your place that could be in mine , and so on. ANYTHING YOU ARE PARTICULARLY DISINTERESTED IN RECEIVING? Not really WISHLIST LINKS: BPAL: Overall wishlist and Currently in search of Etsy: Favorites list (sorry, I have a lot of favorites ) ARE THERE OTHER HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS YOUR SWAP PARTNER COULD SEND GOODIES FOR? I do have a husband but I doubt he would be interested. Thanks though! ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT YOUR PARTNER TO KNOW? I'm generally pretty laid-back and get enjoyment out of the small things in life. I'm just excited about the idea behind this swap and would be very pleased with any thoughtful items sent my way --------------------------- Thread Questions CLOTHES: I'm perfectly fine with gently used clothing. Mostly a L/XL ladies, something in the area of a size 14. I'm open to longer skirts, dresses, blouses, nerdy tshirts. I layer a lot so short sleeve, long sleeve, cardigans and so on are all fair game. Oh! And I'm a huge Ren Fest nerd. I love any Renaissance-like pieces to incorporate into my outfits. I've gone as an elf warrior, a pirate queen, and my latest is a wench-assassin sidekick. My husband and I get all gussied up and go several times a season. So if you have anything that could be twisted to use for that, I would probably freak. SHOES: Size 10 generally, but sometimes I'm surprised that I've found a size 9/9.5 in a thrift store that actually fits :)Not really into high heels more than 2" but beyond that: funky wedges, sandals, ankle booties up to over the knee boots...I love shoes SOCKS: I also am one of the victims who love knee socks but suffer from calves that rob my feet of circulation. But I do adore silly, fun, and nerdy design socks of all kinds. VINYL: OMG toys! I have a weakness and sign up for a Loot Crate box every so often. I love POP Funko vinyls (been eyeing up Harley Quinn and the Firefly characters for a while but some Disney ones I've seen are adorable too). Legos are totally fair game and any of the other cute little blind box figurines. MAKEUP: Sure! Gently tested makeup would be welcome in my home. I mainly play with my eyes so I'm hooked on eyeshadows, liners, and so on. My favorite brand is Urban Decay for their wide range of options but I'm not picky. I play with earth tones, bright crazy colors, jewel tones...anything really. I haven't experimented much in terms of lips or cheeks so it'd be fun to play with whatever is sent my way. NAIL POLISH: I really haven't done much in terms of nails- so I'm open to anything! Any polishes or accessories or tools...I don't know lol I'm kind of clueless! BOOKS: I think I pretty much summed up my tastes in the survey but I don't think there's anything I wouldn't be interested in. My book taste is very....eclectic haha. I get a kick out of reading random books people suggest just to try out something new I wouldn't have normally picked up. I tend to blast through a 300 page book in about two evenings so us fast-readers need a lot of material CRAFTS: I love crafting...mainly mixed media sort of conglomerations. So all sorts of ephemera bits and baubles are fun: Scraps of fun fabrics, tags, gems, papers, kits, etc. etc. This may not really fit with crafting but I also recently purchased a house that has a couple of garden beds built in so this year I'm going to test out my green thumb! I would take anything garden related (figurines, tags, seeds, suggestions/tips, etc.) that you might want to offload. KITCHEN: I love to cook and bake. It's my stress reliever and I'm a bit of a foodie so I'll take any fun useful and unusual kitchen-y things. FASHION ACCESSORIES: Mainly hair ties and claw clips. I have long hair so I try to twist it up in a bun sometimes if I'm feeling ambitious but head scarves and cute hats are always welcome! USED MAKEUP: Kinda touched on with my makeup answer previously but I have no problem with *lightly* tested things. INTERNATIONAL GOODIES: Heck. yes. I love trying new things and would be happy with items that are even just more popular regionally even if they're in the same country as me   PURSES: Meh, take em or leave em. To me they just do the necessity of what I purchase them for: carrying alls the things. VIDEO GAMES: We have a PS2, Wii, Xbox 360...so a little more on the "older side" when it comes to what's out now. But hey...I like all sorts of puzzle/strategy games and my husband is a fan of RPGs and first person shooters so we'll take what you don't want! PERFUMES: I'm really more of a BPAL or perfume oil person. Alcohol-based sprays just burn off and smell kinda "bleh" in comparison after being spoiled by BPAL. PETS: None yet. My husband and I will be adopting two kittens from the Humane Society this spring/summer though BATH STUFF: Yes please! Nothing is better than de-stressing with a cup of tea and a bubble bath for me (besides cooking haha). I should pretty much by stock in Lush so I'm good with oils/salts/lotions/bubble bath/shower gel/bath bombs/etc. YARN: Ehhhh. Honestly I probably wouldn't use it. I've been really getting into needlepoint and cross stitch though, so if you have embroidery floss then that's more my speed. CDs/DVDs: Sure! I have a very eclectic taste in music and always like being exposed to new bands. DVDs would actually be kinda nifty too. Worse comes to worse, I regift it on.   KIDS STUFF: I don't have kids, but that doesn't mean that my nieces wouldn't enjoy things   STRIPES: Sure!   BAKED GOODS: Uh yes plz. Especially recipes!   BELTS/SWEATPANTS/SLIPPERS: Belts, sure. Sweatpants, slippers, and such..I think I'll pass.   EBOOKS: Sure! I'm all about reading in its many forms haha   POTPOURRI/WATER BOTTLE/MASSAGE CARD: Why not? Honestly, I just want this to be fun for my broom and not stressful   COLLECTIONS: Jewelry, perfumes/bath and body things of all sorts, small bowls (like dipping bowls and tiny prep bowls for the kitchen), tea, cross-stitch things, weird steampunky bits and baubles, graphic design books...geeze I'm sure the list goes on.   TAROT-RELATED: Yes, I find the designs fascinating   CATS: I love cats! I don't have any right now, but my hubby and I are adopting two from the Humane Society very soon. CANDLES: Used, un-used, whatever. I love candles! CLASSICS: Just reiterating that I love reading so...sure! FABRICS: I have been meaning to learn to sew, but I have friends that can teach me so bring it on! MAGIC CARDS: Don't really do Magic or other trading card games. But if you have fun card games (Fluxx/Munchkin/etc.) that aren't getting any love...I'll take em

BPAL: Hairy Toad Lily

Hairy Toad Lily Category: Rappaccini's Garden Quantity: sample   Description: HAIRY TOAD LILY Spotty, hairy, purple, sweet!   Review:   In the bottle: At first, it's as sweet as candy, yet a bit lemony in the background.   Wet: Still sweet and cute, but definitively more floral and herbal. Dry: It turned so subtle that I can't review it. I'm left with a powdered deodorant smell.   Verdict: Overall, this is a very light, delicate perfume... So light, in fact, that it disappears! Oops.   More reviews: Rappaccini's Garden: Hairy Toad Lily

Scents I've tried and liked! / the great 2015 retesting

A Countenance Foreboding Evil- Patchouli, ylang ylang, blood orange, and vetiver. woody patch backed by veviter, overlaid with orange, and then a bit of ylang ylang in drydown. Warm, comforting, cheery. Very similar to Ira BO. I Adam- black leather, pale sandalwood, ambergris accord, and the memory of a long-lost Victorian fougère. The scent of the wood of his guitars, the rosin from his violin bow, the musty wool of neglected Oriental carpets, the plastic, metal, and magnetic tape of his reel-to-reel, the dust that permeates everything. Delicious, dusty black leather with hints of a fougere. Dark and soft. Powerfully nostalgic, but I don't know for what. B   Autumn Cider- Fermented apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, lemon zest, butterscotch liquor, and orange slices Bezoar- Copaiba balsam, Tolu balsam, hay absolute, cardamom, and hiba wood. Blacker than the Raven Wings of the Midnight- black tea leaf fougere with black sandalwood, opalescent vanilla, osmanthus, 18-year aged Indonesian patchouli, and the suggestion of ancient incense smoke. Blood Popsicle- The scent of frozen Type O negative.t 9/15 This one is so weird it's impossible to describe. Sort of hospital at the beginning, sort of evil floral without being overpowering flowery, a bunch of musk but not any of the placeable ones, slightly sweet but not really. Intriguingly strange, sort of darkly feminine and sophisticated without smelling like anything specific. Different every time. B Bonfire Night- Beer, woodsmoke, tar, and treacle. Woodsmoky candy deliciousness. B   Brusque Violet- Violet petal, violet leaf, osmanthus, orris, mint, and opoponax. But Men Loved Darkness Rather than Light- cistus labdanum, ginger, East Indian patchouli, pimento berry, oakmoss, saffron, smoky vanilla, sage, myrrh, and bitter clove. Butter Rum Cookie- Rum-soaked brown butter cookies, crusted with sugar, soaked in almond and garnished with orange rind and pummeled pecans. Butterscotch Balls & Black Beetles- Butterscotch candies flecked with dirt, encased in a shiny black shell of myrrh, patchouli, and anise seed. Calico Jack- Sea air, driftwood, waterlogged kelp, and the memory of plundered spices sprayed over worn leathers, rough musk, and the salty wooden floorboards of the Revenge. 3/15 salty, delicious, cheerful aquatic men's cologne. I   Casanova- A rakish blend of leather, anise, lavender, bergamot and amber with tonka, lemon peel and lusty patchouli. Chimera- The fiery, volatile scent of cinnamon, thickened by myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal. 3/15 sweet (but not too sweet) syrupy cinnamon desert. I   Christougenniatiko Dentrophobia- pine pitch, bone-white dried fir, and spruce tar with opoponax and blackened tobacco. Cthulhu- A creeping, wet, slithering scent, dripping with seaweed, oceanic plants and dark, unfathomable waters. Destroying Angel- Papery white notes evoke the grace of this fungi, grounded by thin, crisp soil. Dracul- Black musk, tobacco, fir, balsam of peru, cumin, bitter clove, crushed mint, and orange blossom. Fettered in the Shackles of the Drug- Sweet opium smoke, neroli, yellow bergamot, and piquant, strange star anise. 9/15 Bright but girly and adult citrus with a slight floral tinge, that dries down to smoky opium. Nice "normal" scent. B Fledgling Raptor Moon- Warm, soft tufts of down and gleaming tawny feathers: clove, toasted sandalwood, aged patchouli, bourbon vanilla, carnation, massoia bark, hinoki wood, and West Indian Bay. Galvanic Goggles- Metallic notes with Indian musk, tobacco flower, and African balsam. 3/15 Smooth, fancy, bright, clean men's cologne, Very James Bond. I Gingerbread Satyr Goblin- Black coconut, gnarly patchouli, and sweet benzoin. Haitian Veviter SN Hans Trapp- Tattered leather, dry straw, matted hair, sharpened sticks, and a bundle of switches. Hatta- Copaiba balsam, battered brown leather, and Ceylon cinnamon. Highwayman- Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather. 3/15 Veviter overlaid with some flowers. Gentlemanly. Good, but not finding the leather sadly. I   Ian- shaggy leather, sweet rum absolute, and patchouli. Jazz Funeral- Bittersweet bay rum, bourbon, and a host of funeral flowers with a touch of graveyard dirt, magnolia and Spanish Moss. Kit- Mysore sandalwood, a tattered and patched 16th century waistcoat, inkstained, still scented with the marjoram and benzoin dry perfumes of his youth. Krampus 2014- Sinister red musk, black leather, dusty rags, and wooden switches. Krampus' Shadow- Birch tar, patchouli, and blackish-red musk. Le Père Fouettard- Whip leather, coal dust, gaufrette, and black licorice. Lemon Scented Sticky Bat- Sticky-sweet iced lemon sugar 9/15 Bright, cheerful sweet lemon (may chang) underlaid with a slightly powdery sugar. Same wet and drydown. B Loup Garou- juniper, cypress and galangal with the barest touch of eucalyptus. 7/29 Still the only scent that is really foresty on me. Fresh, bracing, clean trees. I Lust- red musk, patchouli, ylang ylang and myrrh. Madame Moriarty- Red musk, vanilla bean, pomegranate, patchouli leaf and wild plum. Mandrake Miss Fanny Phippany- tobacco absolute, birch tar, blackened clove, whip leather, and spiced rum. 3/15 Equally cloves (& a bit of cinnamon), leather and tobacco, with a hint of sweetness that must be the rum. Dark, assertive and unisex. Understated sexy. B Poisoned Apple- A perfect, lovely, gleaming red apple whose sweetness masks a swirl of narcotic opium, oleander, and hemlock. 9/15 Girly and grown up. Apple backed with darker florals. Pumpkin II (2014)- Blackened pumpkin with clove, tobacco absolute, aged patchouli, and oakmoss. R'lyeh- A hellishly dark aquatic scent, evocative of fathomless oceanic deeps, the mysteries of madness buried under crushing black waters, and the brooding eternal evil that lies beneath the waves. 2/15 sunny, cheerful grapefuit and aquatics, with a hint of something darker. Fades fast, but oh-so-lovely. A good everyday scent. I,B   Red Lantern- Golden amber, blonde tobacco, Sudanese black coconut, rich caramel, black currant, white opium and delphinium laced with a sensual blend of Asian spice. Sampaguita- jasmine sambac with a hint of tea leaf. Satyr Shrunken Heads- Leather tanned with the pulp of Amazon ferns and rainforest herbs. Sin- amber, sandalwood, black patchouli and cinnamon.

I like resinous and heavier smellies that have great throw and longevity. Notes like aloe, cedar, coffee, dragon's blood, honey, juniper, lavender, light leathers, lilac, musks (red and black), orchids, oakmoss, parchments, sandalwood, violet, and vetiver preferred. NO aquatics, jasmine, or orange blossom oils needed. Many of the imps I'll consider as tradeable here too.

[masterlist] Note to Self

Not a wishlist! If you've stumbled across this, please ignore; these are not ISO's, just notes to myself regarding scents I intend to order in the future, test at local BPAL meet ups, or will one day go hunting for in the sales/swaps forum.   LATEST UPDATE: April 17, 2016 March 10, 2021. Listed alphabetically and, where possible, by sub-category. Use ctrl+ F to find a specific scent. [**] indicates a priority.   Notes that typically work: apple, vanilla, fig, amber, lavender, violet, tea, moss, vetiver, or wood notes. Notes that have started behaving well: red and white musks, most roses, stone fruits, engine oils. Notes to avoid: lotus, wine/alcohol, anything 'skin' (including skin musk), 'blood' notes, balsam, bay. Allergies and reactions: cinnamon (extreme irritation), lemon/lemon balm (migraine trigger).

BPAL: Kumiho

Kumiho Category: Diabolus Quantity: sample   Description: KUMIHO Nine-tailed fox demon of Korean lore who transforms into the visage of an irresistible beauty in order to seduce men and lead them to their doom. A sharp, biting blend of crisp white tea and ginger.   Review:   In the bottle: I can smell the white tea, slightly lemony/herbal.   Wet: It reminds me of Unicorn, very floral, white and sharp.   Dry: Now, I get more of the ginger, spicy and warm, but not overwhelming.   Verdict: It's subtle, delicate, and pretty. I wouldn't have expected that for a "foxy demon", but it's nice.   More reviews: Diabolus: Kumiho

BPAL: The Pool Of Tears

The Pool Of Tears Category: Mad Tea Party Quantity: sample   Description: THE POOL OF TEARS `I wish I hadn't cried so much!' said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out. `I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears! That will be a queer thing, to be sure! However, everything is queer to-day.'   A sea of salty tears drowning out Alice's light floral perfume.   Review:   In the bottle: An aquatic, soft floral blend, with a hint of carnation.   Wet: It's very delicate on my skin, and still very floral, with carnation. It reminds me of Alice, but a bit more salty and aquatic.   Dry: Oops, it just turned bitter during dry-down. It seems temporary, but what remains afterwards smells like deodorant.   Verdict: It started o.k., but turned bad. Not a keeper.   More reviews: Mad Tea Party: The Pool Of Tears

please help save Victor the cat

Here's a post abt a beautiful rescue cat named Victor who has a blocked urethra and his owner has no money to pay for it:   http://slarmstrong.tumblr.com/post/105641215910/meet-victor-hes-our-three-year-old-rescue-we   The Go Fund Me is here:   http://www.gofundme.com/SaveVictor   Please help if you can, and please boost the signal.   I once had a cat who had this same problem, 15 yrs ago, and it was $800. I can well believe that such an op is even more expensive, along w/ everything else.

First Impressions

So the other day I blogged about wearing Loup Garou on Thanksgiving. I had to work a 16 hour shift that evening and when I got home I STILL smelled just as strongly of the fragrance as I did during the day. Maybe it wasn't strong to other people around me. One coworker told me I smelled like laundry... The bra that I had the piece of cotton in still has a heavenly scent, LOL. I usually hand-wash bras and the like, but it may take me a couple of washes to get all the scent out of it.   This morning I was going to pour a couple of drops of Envy in the tub. When I first opened it, I caught the lime and a basil-y rosemary-ish whiff, very green and herbacious. Today I got more green and less lime. I accidentally poured the entire imp into the tub and it was a nice soak; I'm sorry I poured out the whole imp. The drop or so remaining in the vial went on pulse points.   The Envy doesn't seem to be as long lasting as the Loup Garou was. Maybe it's because I put it straight onto my skin and not on a piece of fabric but I can't smell it at all now, ant it's been about 7 hours.   I don't know that I'd order a full bottle again but I will probably order another imp or a decant.   I'm glad to be ordering more this weekend and again the following payday.   On a personal note:   This is the first time in years that I've been able to budget money for indulgences for myself. My son will be 8 years old this coming weekend and two years ago he was hospitalized and diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, PTSD, and possible bi-polar disorder but they assigned Non Specified Mood Disorder to the list of diagnoses. He was sent home every day for the first semester of kindergarten, and even before that was asked to leave two daycare centers and a preschool. He's been hospitalized twice. I've been bitten, kicked, scratched, cussed out, had things thrown at me, and spent hours literally wrestling with a tiny octopus child of prodigious strength. I've had bruises the circumference of an orange from bites and I've had bloody lips as well. He's never been allowed to watch horror movies or anything that wasn't age appropriate in my home. This wasn't a case of bad parenting or negligence or abuse. (I've been accused of all three.) This is just a child whose brain chemicals aren't properly balanced and the areas of his brain that regulate these things aren't necessarily developing the same way as everyone else's are.   We are insanely lucky to be in a program right now that offers us housing assistance and access to referrals and case management for 5-10 years so that I can complete my degree and raise my son in the manner I see fit. He is homeschooled, I work 40-50 hours a week, and this week some of my art is hanging in a show in the Design District in Dallas. Someone has already inquired about purchasing a small watercolor and the show doesn't even open until tomorrow!   I don't have any outside help with my son. I can't afford the specialized childcare he requires and am very lucky that my aunt is able to take him on the overnight shifts and sometimes my mother can take him on a weekend. If not, he comes to the office with me. No one gives us any financial or cash assistance outside of our subsidized housing. I pay for medical insurance every month, we do not have any sort of food stamp (SNAP) assistance either. He receives Medicaid because he is legally disabled and receives SSI (which I suppose does count as cash assistance :-|) but that money goes to clothe him, feed him, and into savings for his future. His father has never been a part of his life and has no involvement and has never wished to. I've never received child support. I pay my mother's phone bill right now since we're on a family plan and she switched jobs after being with one company for 30 years and filed for bankruptcy. My family isn't close and people aren't really so eager to assist you when you have a 75lb screaming angry ball of rage (only sometimes) stuck to you like glue. Not that my son isn't the most amazing, hilarious, witty, sarcastic, intelligent, eager to learn, and loving small person I've ever met in my entire life, but he has his bad days just like anyone else. His are more along the "Hulk Smash" lines of bad days, though.   I know that was very off track but it is such a huge deal for us to be getting on our feet and getting our lives back to what is normal for us. Being able to spend a little bit of money here and there for something for myself when someone else gets everything first automatically is a big thing. I've had to not guilt trip myself when I purchase hair dye or makeup or perfume. Less than a month ago I dyed my hair for the first time in over 3 years and what a difference did THAT make. Wow.   So anyway, yeah. Loving being able to collect BPAL. Enjoying learning and being part of a diverse fandom and having one more new thing to obsess over. I've got our hermit crabs and BPAL... when I get older I'll be the smelly crab lady that all the kids are afraid of...bahahaha or maybe like the aunties in Practical Magic...that would be cool.

Thanksgiving

I received my first ever order from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab yesterday, and it was well worth the wait. I'm sure many people have stated the exact same sentiment and many people will continue to share the feeling for years to come.   I dipped my toe into the pool by ordering 6 imps to start my collection and see if the oils would agree with me. In the past, essential oils have served to give me a massive headache by smelling off or like vintage perfume gone wrong. Some have only reminded me of strong incense at head shops, so I didn't know what I was getting into.   I ordered: Loup-Garou, Antony, Thorns, Ultraviolet, Envy, and Y'hai-Nthlei. I received frimps of: Obatala, Ogygia, Lilith, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat.   Yesterday I wore Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat after getting the oil on my fingers. The cap was stubborn and when it came off, a few drops of oil came out onto my hands. I did noticed that the scent remained strong even after washing dishes by hand a couple of times during the course of the evening.   Today I decided that Loup-Garou was the way to go. So far it is my favorite, with the strong eucalyptus kick that I adore. I put a couple of drops onto a piece of cotton ball and stuffed it down my bra after rubbing some in the crook of my elbow and on my wrist. I honestly believe that it has done wonders for relieving stress and anxiety associated with being around my family members today.   My son wore Antony today. He will be 8 years old next week and I asked him if he'd like to wear some "cologne" today. I told him it smelled like "leather and heroes" and let him sniff the bottle. He asked to wear some so I put a drop on a cotton ball and rubbed it on his chest, to his delight.   I'm ready to order more!

UK Customs guide - how it works and what to put on forms

This is a small guide for people from outside the EU on how to complete customs forms for packages to the UK, and how to avoid landing your recipient with an excessive customs fee. Not applicable to packages sent from within the EU as there are no forms or fees (lucky you).   How UK customs works   Every package that comes in is scanned at the point of entry to ensure that there are no prohibited goods like live animals or nail varnish, and that there is no obvious discrepancy between the contents and what is declared on the customs form. If there is a suspicion of prohibited goods, or an obvious discrepancy (like the customs form says 'soft toys' and the xray shows lots of electronics), the package will be opened and inspected. If there are in fact prohibited items, they will be confiscated and destroyed, and the package may be returned to sender or may be sent on to the recipient less the prohibited items. If there's a major discrepancy between the declared contents and actual contents, the actual value will be assessed.   Note: If there's a discrepancy in the customs form itself, for example if it's marked as a gift but the sender's name is obviously commercial (like, say, Black Phoenix Trading Post) this will also be flagged up. The package will be assessed as goods rather than a gift, and if it happens more than once the sender will get a strongly worded letter and basically told not to do it again. This is why Puddin' cannot mark Trading Post goodies as gifts.   At this point, all packages that haven't been returned are assessed for taxable value. Unless there's a major discrepancy that's required re-valuation, which requires something big and obvious (like a laptop in a package that's labelled as books), this is done solely on the basis of the declared value on the customs form. What and how much tax is payable depends on whether the package is goods or a gift.   Goods Import VAT is payable on goods valued over £15 (~US$23), and is 20% of the declared value plus the postage cost. Customs Duty is also payable if the value is over £135.   Gifts Import VAT is payable on gifts valued over £36 (~US$56), and is 20% of the declared value plus the postage cost.   Once Customs has calculated the tax, Royal Mail adds a processing charge of £8 ($12.50) and sends a horrible grey card to the recipient telling them they have to pay the total (which will be a minimum of £11/$17) either online or in person at their local delivery office, in order to get their parcel. There is no means of questioning or appealing the charge; you can't even see the parcel to find out what was on the customs form until you've paid. The options are pay the charge or refuse the package and return it to sender.   (As a side note, stuff that comes in by courier rather than normal post goes through the exact same process, but the processing charges from the courier companies are generally much higher.)   So! With this in mind, how should you best fill out the customs form?   Goods? Gift? Commercial samples? Whatever you're comfortable with. Unless you put down a business name or are sending hundreds of packages to the UK per month, Customs are not going to check into a swap, sale, or decant circle package marked as a gift.   How should I declare the contents? Be as accurate as possible, but generally go by what your local post office is happiest with. 'Perfume' is prohibited, but the kind of perfume they mean is the commercial alcohol/atomiser kind, which BPAL is not. 'Essential oils (non-flammable)' and 'Bath oils (non-flammable)' won't raise any eyebrows because they match the contents perfectly. 'Cosmetic samples' also come through fine if your post office lets you put that.   What value should I declare? Whatever you're comfortable with! I refer you to the above notes on Import VAT thresholds for Goods and Gift packages. I certainly wouldn't want you to be dishonest, but Customs don't actually check unless there's an obvious mismatch between the declared value and the size/weight/declared contents.   Important note on Paypal and other automatically generated customs forms If you use Paypal or some other service that automatically generates a customs form, make VERY SURE that the shipping cost is NOT included as part of the value of contents. Either it should be a separate line, or preferably not on the customs form at all. The reason for this is that Customs take the value of contents and the shipping cost (from the postage label or stamp) and calculate the tax based on both. If the shipping cost isn't separately itemised it gets included twice and the recipient pays extra tax.   Example: Forumite X bought some decants from you and sent you $30 as a lump sum for $20 of decants and $10 of shipping, with a Goods and Services payment type for both of your protection. If you print a combined shipping and customs form direct from Paypal it will put the value of contents down as $30 and type as Goods, because that's all it knows. When Customs look at the package they will see $30 value and $10 shipping, and Forumite X will receive a lovely demand for £13.33 (nearly $20) in order to get the package.   If you separate out the shipping (via Paypal or, if necessary, doing it by hand) then Customs will see $20 value and $10 shipping/handling, and if you've marked the package as Goods Forumite X will only be charged on what they actually paid. And hey, if the package is marked as Gift, it's under the threshold and there will be no charge.

Imp List

Here's the list of Imps I already have at least one of. Dream goal is to have one of every imp available. And this is dream since things can go discontinued and be added at any time.

Blind Date with a Book Swap

How would you feel about getting a gift certificate to a local store? Any favorites? I don't shop much. I love thrift stores and my local co-op. Do garage sales count? I go to my local homebrew supply store quite a bit (they sell cheesemaking supplies now, and I'd love to get into that more). Oh, and Otion (Bramble Berry’s retail store). I do most of my non-food shopping in either Seattle or Bellingham, so neither of those places are too far for me. I travel often to Uwajimaya, for example, to shop for both food and non-food items.   There are also a number of cool bottle shops in the area that I frequent, namely our local Ale Spike (they allow dogs, so bonus!), Norm's Market, The Pourhouse (when I visit my father-in-law), The Beer Junction, Special Brews, Chuck's Hop Shop, and Brews Almighty.

List of Scents and Brief Reviews for Comparison Purposes

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vco3k8tcwXAe5JzGsQGfZBaTrSTTAPPtFozChjwRso8/edit?usp=sharing   I prefer feminine, sweet, fresh scents. Especially fruits (though less so citrus, iffy about lemon), candy, and light florals. I do not like buttery foodie scents. I amp bitterness, smokiness, and musk so those don't work.   Last updated: 1/5/15   I should still own all listed so if you want a comparison between scents, let me know!   ***   Overall thoughts on BPAL:   Great concept. The vast majority of these do not work for me--too powdery or musky--they usually smell more strange than good.   I also wish there were some definitive breakdown of what chemicals are in the oils.   What keeps me coming back are the few unique scents that are absolutely amazing: Currently: Kumiho, Nuclear Winter   Other pluses: Fast and safe shipping, getting random imps, the new postcards, and the scents that, though not something I'd wear, are spot-on (e.g. Blood Popsicle, Zombi).
