2013 Summer SW Q&A

Hi witch, here are my questions so far, but whatever you send I will love     Is there a Quote that resonates with you, or that you particularly like a lot. Would this be something you would like artwork made of for your walls or a shirt/bag/scarf?   May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself. Neil Gaiman   Sure       Also, STARBUCKS, Yay or Nay? Anything you particularly like?   Sure. White chocolate mocha, hot or iced.       Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking?   Glambie maybe.       If you happen to find out who yours is, how much would it bother you?   Not at all.       Do you use waxmelts or tarts? If so, which ones do you prefer?   I use the blocks (Like scentsy) but it doesn’t have to be from them, I usually buy the ripoff ones from Walmart or Publix and they work just as well.       Do you enjoy drinking hot chocolate, and would you like stuff to make it with, or to add to it?   Not right now.       Have you ever tried Spoonfudge? Would you enjoy it if your Witch would send you some? Which of the flavors would you like?   Never heard of it, but I’m game.       What's your opinion on Moonalisa? Any favorites or products you'd like to try?   Never heard of it, but I’m game.       Are there any BPALs that you loved the idea of, the imagery - whether artwork or description - but which didn't work out for you? (I'm asking because if they did, you might mention them elsewhere, but if not, the imagery might be helpful)   I got VILF but more for the artwork and it didn’t work on me at all.       Put your mp3 player/online music/itunes/etc on random and list the next 10 songs here:   1. I’m Free – Footloose   2. Downtown – Lady Antebellum   3. Hard Candy Christmas – Dolly Parton   4. All over you – Live   5. Slut like you – Pink   6. Wouldn’t it be nice – Beach Boys   My IPOD battery died as I listened to 6       What is your favourite object, that you own, ignoring sentimental reasons for attachment? So I guess something you find beautiful, or fun, or incredibly useful.   I’m pretty sentimental with all my things but I love my 2013 Birthday Barbie my DH got me for my birthday, she’s so pretty       How big is too big...for something to hang on your walls? If I'm painting you a pretty picture, are there maximum dimensions that you have/prefer?   Nothing is every to big!       Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for?   Sure, any.       Is there anything from Australia you would like? eg: snacks (yes, you can ask for Tim Tams!), books, magazines, memorabilia?   Not picky.       Do you have any problems with swearing or particularly off-color humor?   NO. I fucking love it I am pretty vulgur myself and love crude and adult humor/stuff.       What style is your sense of humour?   See above I love nasty dirty humor.       Opinions on table top games, from cards and board games, to dice and rpgs. What do you like? What don't you like? Favorites? Any classics you like? Do you collect any?   I love scrabble and clue but my DH doesn’t like board games. I’ve always wanted to get Twister though.       What would you like from the most recent BPAL update? What are you planning on buying for yourself and what would you like to try?   Haven’t looked yet.       Is there a literary character you identify with? Even if it's not spot-on, just someone you found yourself having that "I identify with this" feeling?   Jane from Pride and Prejudice.       What are the three books you most want to read right now, and which you don't already have?   Horns by Joe Hill,       Would you like something from Empire Edibles? (http://www.etsy.com/...s?ref=top_trail)   Not right now.       Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit?   Postcards       Witchee, I know that SW isn't about what you get... but could you name one thing you would be heartbroken not to get and one thing you would be a-ok if it didn't make it in your box? (i.e. do you REALLY want perfume oil of some sort, or would you be totally heartbroken if there was no Lush in your box, etc   Reveal note.       Do you like tarot cards, pendulums and rune stones etc? If so, what type?   I’ve always wanted a fairy Tarot deck. I love crystals and stones and candles.       What fandoms do you belong to?   None       What cheers you up?   Sleep, relaxing.       What is the best compliment you have/could receive?   That I’m a nice person.       Would you like anything from an European country? Any particular food or goodies, magazines, books, whatever would be available to your witch in his/her country.   I’m not picky.       Do you like bags? If so, what type (rucksack, clutch, shopping bag) colour and would you like/need a new one?   I love gas, I always need a new purse (big one) flowers and beads are my fav. Bright bold prints.       What's your favourite comfort food(snack or candy etc) and/or drink?   Nothing right now       Would you be interested in someone writing out for you a favourite recipe, or finding or devising one which they think you'd like? If so, please provide your favourite ingredients, info on how you like to cook/store and use food, and any intolerances - unless all of these are in your questionnaire, or you don't like the idea. (I'm not saying I'd definitely do this, unless someone is keen, and it wouldn't be the only gift). I guess for other witches this might include something like a knitting pattern - not my thing but would you like that? Or indeed would you like a picture created for you (if so what kind) or a story written? (sorry if this feels a bit Spanish Inquisition!)   I love recipes and cookbooks.       If you knew you were going to live comfortably for say 800 years, what profession, calling or project might you pursue with some of your extra years, which you imagine you may not do in the life that you have?   Travelling, photography and art.       What colors/style is your kitchen decor? And do you entertain in your home?   Browns, red, creams warm colors. Tuscan style.       Are your ears pierced?   Yes and I LOVE earrings.       Do you like stuffies/stuffed animals/art doll type thingies? If so, any particular type you'd love to get?   YES!!! I collect teddy bears, unicorns, Barbies, faries, My Little Pony sect.       Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!?   Not really, they’ll be fine.       How do you feel about traditional picnics (namely the intimate table for two variety)? Old-fashioned basket or something more utilitarian (cooler/insulated bag)?   I love traditional picnics but I love modern ones too.       Haus of Gloi did a Reverie update! Do any of them interest you? (Or anything else up currently?)   Never heard of it, but I’m game.       Witchee, do you cook? Do you do all the cooking? Is it a chore or a pleasure?   I Love cooking although my dishes don’t always work out. I do majority of the cooking and most of the time it’s a pleasure.       Which reading level do you prefer to read in YA or Adult? Or even both?   I love both.       If you could have one rare bpal which one would you choose?   Not sure if this counts as rare, but I would love to try/have a bottle of Fairy Market.       (Feel free not to answer, I know it's not a standard one!) Are you kinky?   Yes. I won't elaborate too much but I love toys and games and "movies" and clothes. So does DH.       Do you enjoy scented candles? Certain sizes that you like? What kind of scents or brands?   Yes, any size and brand. I have warmers so wax cubes (like Scentsy but Wal-mart sells them too) are always great too.       Thoughts about South Africa? Have you been here, would you like to go? Would you like to receive anything South African?   I'm originally from SA so I love it, my mom sends me tons of stuff so I don't necessarily need anything right now.       Do you like Sockdreams? If so, what styles would you prefer?   Love them, any and all.       Do you need hair accessories? If so, what kind or color?   Always. I love plain and pretty or bright and pretty. Anything really.       What is your favorite shade of blue?   I'm loving navy right now.       Do you have any kitchen gadgets (a SodaStream, a Kuerig/Tassimo) that you want mix things for?   I have a SodaStream.       If you were to start learning something new (intellectual or craft or hobby), what would it be?   If I had the time or money I would love to learn to play the drums.       What about candy? Do you have a sweet tooth?   I love hard/soft candy like Skittles and jelly beans. I love chocolate truffles.     Do you have an e-reader? What kind? Would you like to get ebooks?   Yes, a Nook color, Sure.       If your witch is an extremely crafty sort, and she were to send all kinds of homemade foody goodies and handmade crafty stuff - what are items you would NOT LOVE to receive. Please dont hedge on this one...some of us are serious crafters and will be making most of what we send!   No food creations at this time (because of my condition) usually I would say yes, but rather not       Witchee dear, do you like video games? Are there any you want to play? Do you have a large library?   Not really. DH has a PS3 and I'd love an easy girly game to play.       Do you have something you do, without fail, as a personal daily habit/ritual? (Examples: pen-and-paper journal keeping, tea/coffee drinking, morning yoga, nightly bedtime reading. I'm kind of thinking on things that would be dear to you and might need small supplies or could use certain extras. )   I used to keep a journal a night. I really want to start a meditation/yoga routine but that probably won't happen.       Do you wear nailpolish? What colors do you tend to go for? What are your favorite brands? Are you open to trying indie brands?   Love it! Any color. I love glitter. Open to all kind of brands.       Name three BPAL scents you have tried, but are dying to get more of.   Alice, Fairy Wine, Boober.       Do you still write real letters on nice stationary to people you like/love?   YES! I LOVE STATIONAIRY (paper, cards, pens ANYTHING!)       Have you ever tried anything from Paintbox Soapworks? Which products or scents would you prefer?   I love Tart's soaps. I love all her stuff.       Do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you grow?   I really want to start a herb garden one day.       Do you like sample sized things? Think lipgloss, mascara, bodylotion, scrubs, mini candles, and so forth.   I prefer regular size items but won’t say no       Have you tried Fortune Cookie Soap? What products or scents would you like?   Never heard of it, but I'm always game.       Do you use solid soaps at all? If so, what kind do or don't you like?   Yes, usually just Dove or Pears (for the household) but I love fancy bars just for me too. I love Paintbox Soapworks!       Have you ever tried Cocoa Pink? If you are curious about it, what looks interesting to you?   Never heard of it, but I'm always game.       Do you like Lush? If so, what is your favorite product that is currently available, also, what is a product that you love but has been discontinued?   Only ever tried it once. I like anything berry flavored.       Do witches prefer the answers posted here, but a more cherry-picked number of questions answered, or a more exhaustive list posted in the blog, which means posting here much less?   I don't mind.       Anyone a fan of Shiro Cosmetics? Any particular products? Eye shadow pigments in general?   Never heard of it, but I'm always game.       Are there any companies, products, or items you boycott?   Not that I can think of.       As I am in Japan, what sort of things would you like from there?   Anything.       Since FB and the FB Gusp group (and the BPAL Sorority which is quiet) have become gathering places...what are some of your favorite Facebook pages you like?   I'm not on Fb that often, I love Reddit though.       Dr Who?   I tried to get into it and just couldn't.       How much do you like lipbalm?

If yes, what colours?   Yes, any and all.       For those of you whose wishlists contain only BPALs, are there any other perfume companies you like or would like to try out?   I'm easy, will try anything.       Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends. And if you had them and dislike them, can you name a few *other* tea companies you're into?   Never tried them. I'm not a fan of flavored tea's but I like plain teas' like Earl Gray, Lady Grey, Strawberry Tea.       What about coffee? Would you like to get coffee send to you? Whole bean or ground?

I love all stationary.   Are you interested in audiobooks? If so, any specific titles? Anything (Twilight, Harry Potter, Hobbit)   Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no? Yes   Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like? Not that I can think of.   Do you have a problem with nudes??? If not, do you prefer male or female? No, either.   Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her? ANYTHING.   ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there? Anything.   What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding? Cheap calf high cowboy boots (new or 2nd hand) Like these (example)   My link     Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting? Pomana   If you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears? Yes   You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? It depends if it was business or pleasure. If it was business I have a great black pencil dress that I would wear with a very fitted pinstripe jacket and a long necklace and top it with killer heels. If it was personal then either a pretty flowery sundress or jeans and heels.   You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? Anthrapologie. A pretty empire flowery flowing form fitting sundress, a long beaded necklace, a cute pair of sandals, wedge heels or boots. Examples:   Dress   Dress 2   Dress 3       You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). Cowboy boots, ceramic egg cups, a pretty cover for my Nook Color.   WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! movies, comedians, black humor, your partner, a comic strip? what? Crude comedy, anything dirty and gross (movies, books, my DH)   Candy Corn? Nope   I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there? Anything.   If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? If you have doggies, would they like a super-reinforced canvas toy with a squeaker in it? I have 2 rats so anything for rodents.   If you have kids, what are they into? 2 boys so anything: Disney Cars, Star Wars, anything with flashing lights.   How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like? YES! I love shawls and wraps.   Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want? Sure.   Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Glambie knows me pretty well         Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? Love them. Large would be perfect.   What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? I like milk chocolate with nuts. But generally any chocolate is perfect.   I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? I’ve heard of all of these places but have none nearby so have never been.   Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? Don’t mind.   I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! A few tank tops, candle wax/tarts (for warmers), some stationary and stickers   What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like) And, what are your favorite restaurants? Love love Indian Restaurants and Chinese. Pub food too. I love Zaxby’s, Long Horn, Outback … pretyy much any food place.   I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? Not that I can think of.   What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? I want a shirt from Teefury so badly but haven’t got one yet. I would prefer something girlie but would love anything from there.   Do you have an eReader and if so which one? I have a Nook Color and I love it, but I still love real books.   Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? I love my scentsy warmer (that I use Walmart wax on and it works fine) But we love candles too. Especially in winter time!   Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin "paper" towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter? That would be awesome.   Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail (for example, PA doesn't). Love drinking but we’re not big drinkers … and I can’t handle my alcohol very well. But sure you can send some.   Marzipan? It’s ok.   If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? Sure.   If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? Anything!   Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out? If you want. I have two sons (3 ½ and 1 ½) and a DH.   How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Anything local or special to you.   Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup?

Body Makover

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

Halloween Sw 2010 Q&A - Updated 10/21/2010

Here is a list of the questions that keep popping up on the SW Thread: (Updated daily .... or rather hourly )   Baked Goods: Yes please – we eat pretty much anything in our house (the more chocolate the better)   Gifts for household members: Is always appreciated. Pa-pa is 18 months old so doesn’t really understand gifts but I’m sure he’d still love something. And Dh …. Food is always good (eventhough he doesn't like food from strangers - what he doesn't know won't hurt him right??)   Testers of lots of little stuff vs. "big" items: I don’t mind either way, whatever my witch wants to do.   Social networking: I’m on FB but DH and I share a page so it gets complicated. I will get a LiveJournal just because I want to see what this Warehouse thing is about. I will put all my answers here on the blog and in the thread as it goes along ..... if that’s okay   Would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? Sure!   T-shirt/bottom size: Both large – I’d rather they be a little big than not fit at all   So for those of you who are into Harry Potter at all, which house do you think you'd be sorted into? Gryffindor of course!     What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure? Watching Pride & prejudice, Lois & Clark and the Twilight movies over and over.   If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? I’m dressing up as Jem for Halloween so anything pink, bright and sparkly would be appreciated.   Celebrity crush?: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dean Cain & Keanu Reeves (back in the 90’s though) Colin Firth and Daniel Radcliffe. I also love William Peterson (only when he plays Gil Grissom on CSI though.)   Knitted things? Sure!   What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs? Sure!   DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? Either way!   Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? Either!   Do you like scented tarts? YES I love them!   Lip balms? Could always use more – my lips get very dry in winter.     Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? Nope.   Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some? I do love it but can’t drink it a the moment.     What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) I love the Impressionists especially Claude Monet – my favourite painting is his Chinese Bridge. I love any picture or painting of forests or mountains or gardens.   What is your favorite snack food, something you could grab any time? Nuts or chocolate or biscuits.   Ebooks? Not a fan.   Nail Polish I LOVE NAILPOLISH! Any color any make!   Soft/plushie things I love stuffed animals. Particularly teddy bears or anything mythical. But anything would be appreciated.   Cute or creepy Halloween decorations? Either or I love them both.   What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do? Crochet – I enjoy knitting and this looks like fun!   Disney? I love Disney – particularly the older cartoons when they were still hand drawn.   Phobia? I hate ants, spiders and cockroaches.   Ceramics? I love pottery!! Anything and everything!   Socks? I love socks – the louder and brighter the better.   Do you enjoy Austen’s books? I love them! Pride & Prejudice being my favourite.   Girly Index? I am a girly girl – I love pink and flowers and anything lacy and frilly. BUT I can be a tom boy too. I love scented stationary and pretty stickers. I am very crude and swear a lot. I say what I mean and don’t shy away from taboo topics. I do wear make up but I don’t go crazy. So I guess I’m kinda complex   Comfort Objects: A soft blanket, cotton pj’s and hot chocolate.   Scary Movies/Books: I get scared very easily. But I enjoy movies like Sleepy Hollow and The Nightmare Before Christmas.   Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you?: I love butterflies, wolves and horses.   Warm Drinks: Strawberry Tea and Earl Gray Tea, Hot Chocolate, plain coffee and I’ve always wanted to try ciders!     Comic Books: I love Archie comics and Superman.   Favorite Halloween snack: Nothing particular comes to mind. I do love homemade apple pie (or as I call it Apple Crumble) with whipped cream but I have that all year round. Spicy cookies!     If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? I’d go back to when I was 20 and tell myself to save save save and that credit cards are bad   What would the name of your custom blend be? The description? Something pretty like Lilly’s Enchanted Forest or Lilly the magical fairy!

I have no idea what they are but they sound divine and I’m up for anything!   If I were to send you a gift certificate for something would you rather get a physical gift certificate in the mail? Or would you prefer an electronic one that you can use right away? I don’t mind – either or!   Dried fruit: YES PLEASE! I love dried fruit!   Steampunk: I like some of the simple jewelry items.   If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like?

Sound lovely – any!   Are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? Sure – I love min things!   Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? I adore Twilight but I love other vampire stuff too (True Blood, Interview with the Vampire ect.) Haven’t read any other Vampire fiction so I’d be up for anything really!

I love flowers and plants (seeds, pressed and pictures) but I have a black thumb but I’m willing to try! I love picture poetry books on flowers too.   How do you feel about marzipan?

I used to have the Grease cd, but have lost it since moving to the States.   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? Which ever you prefer, I love homemade stuff!   Sport? Not big on sports – I love watching figure skating though.   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 STATIONARY. Anything and everything!   Would you like homemade preserves? Yes please.   What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I love any and all kind of make up.   What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? I collect teapots! But anything vintage is lovely!   Would you like something you have to make yourself?

I would love anything you made!   If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? I’d appreciate anything!   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? Nope, whatever my witch wants.   Your 5: Joseph Gordan-Levitt Joseph Gordan-Levitt Joseph Gordan-Levitt Joseph Gordan-Levitt Joseph Gordan-Levitt   Chocolate or other types of candy? I normally like any type of chocolate but at the moment I can’t eat it (pregnancy makes me hate sweet things) but they will eventually get eaten!   For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? I don’t mind either except I don’t have the right equipment for using loose leaves.   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 love scarves and I adore shawls.   Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike?

Both!!   Do you hate any food things with a passion?? Anchovies   Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree?

Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? Any socks, any color, any length!   Favourite quotes/proverbs “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” – Albert Einstein     Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? I like both studio & live and I prefer explicit.   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??

CD’s I’d love to get Enya or Kenny G (I know )   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’m not very experimental and I like sweet teas and usually always add milk so I’m not a huge fan of green tea’s. But I’m willing to try!   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? Any and all I’m not fussy!   Don't like scarves? Would a rectangular shawl or triangular shawl be more to your taste? How do you feel about recipes? I love any type of shawl too!   What kind of a cook/baker are you? I adore cooking!! Most of the time my dishes (experiments) turn out well maybe 7 out 10 times they’re good and the rest turn out weird!   Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program? I like delivery for the convenience but if I could afford it I’d be making fancy dinners almost every night!   If I send you something home made would you like the recipe for it? That would be nice!   If you are someone who doesn't want baked goods sent, would you like a collection of some of my favorite recipes? I’d like both or either!   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? Sure!   How do people feel about word magnets?

Yes yes I would LOVE one!!!   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 LOTR, The Xanth series by Piers Anthony, Harry Potter, Dragon Lance and The Magician. Gifts or copies (used is perfect) of any of the above would be lovely.   Soaps : do you like them? What brands? What scents? Anything you're dying to try? I love fruity or flowery or green tea scents. I love Painbox, Villainess and Lush but am willing to try anything!   Who likes hair toys, and if so what kind? YES! Any, all and everything! Geek or pretty and sparkly or sophisticated, I’m not fussy. Particularly hair clips.   Does any art we may send need to be child safe, either in the actually safe sense or the non X rated sense? Nope, Pax is still too little and if it was very explicit we’d just keep it in our room.   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? Anything.   How do you feel about altered/recycled/upcycled items of clothing or accessories? SURE!   Is there anything you want from the Violette Market update? Haven’t looked so no.   What is your favourite habitat and climate to live in? How about to visit? (ie. forest, canyons, mountains, by the beach; temperate, tropical...) I love Fall and Spring. I miss Cape Towns weather – it was cold in Winter but not too cold and hot in Summer but not humid. A nice dry heat.   What do you wish you could make/craft if you had the know-how and supplies? Specifically, which particular items? Crocheting.   Anyone need address/phone type books? Sure I love address books!   How many bottles of BPAL do you have? Probably around 20 or so.   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? I’m dying to learn belly dancing, Zumba and better meditation techniques. So anything related to those things would be great (used cd’s/dvds, candles any accessories.)   Do you like Girl Scout cookies? What kind? Not a big fan – I like other cookies though.   What's your take on homemade apple butter? Want some? OMG that sounds amazing – never had it but I’m intrigued!   Anyone else into Emily Autumn? Not really.   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. We mainly have city paintings, tons of baby photo’s and a beautiful red and gold tree painting in our dining room.   Do you love garlic? YES. I love garlic bread, paste ANYTHING garlice related (but no garlic chocolate thank-you)   I wondered if my witch or any witch would enjoy things like nice pens to draw with or anything similar? Yes! I love pens, pencils, paints ec.   Did someone ask about incense yet? Would you like some? Something to store or burn it in? What scents? What form? I love incense. DH isn’t a big fan but I burn it when I’m alone sometime. I like sandalwood the most. Tarts, oils or candles would probably be better but this is for me not DH so I don’t care ha ha ha!!   What kind of shoes do you need/want? What size shoes do you wear? Would you mind gently used shoes? I need & want ballet flats so badly! I might have to cave and get my own. Being pregnant makes it hard to wear heels! I love these: Flat shoes I also am dying to buy a pair of cowboy boots! And no I don’t mind used shoes!   Do you like paper dolls (new or vintage) or coloring in books? Yes, old and new and I love coloring in books too!   Do you have a deviantart print wishlist or favourites list? I used to but it hasn’t been updated in years – so I’d say no rather.   Is there anything from Blooddrop that you want to try? GC? Halloween update? Haven’t looked.   Do you like weird scary things as traditionally girly fashion items like heels and handbags? Yes. I love pretty goth things.   What song is on heavy rotation for you right now? I want your sex and Take me home tonight (nice oldies)   Are you coveting any of the NYCC atmospheric sprays? ???   If you could get any one thing hand-painted from your witch, what would it be and what would be on it? Anything would be nice, maybe a bowl with flowers on it? I’m not fussy though.   Would you (assumin' you're a yarnie) be interested in a naturally-dyed yarn that's designed to very gradually fade with washing? I am not a yarnie.   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. I loved the monkey costume Tarty made for my son last year.   Can I talk to you about the living dead? How do you feel about Zombies? I like funny Zombies (like the ballet flats somebody mentioned) or Shawn of the Dead.   If you could make a scent that represents where you live (or have lived), what would be the ingredients? I would choose Cape Town, because that will always be my home because that’s were I grew up. I guess the ingredients would be sea water, sea salt, crackling fire, freshly cut grass, hints of jasmine and lavender and rain on hot tar (asphalt) – would all that be possible???   Are you in need of Roller bottles or anything of the like? I don’t need anything specifically but supplies are always appreciated!   Just curious, but if your witch was to make an amigurumi critter (or other plushie) just for you, what would it be? A pony or unicorn.   Would you want a local/tourist item from your witch? Like a t-shirt, mug or shot glass? Sure.   Okay, who wants NAlloween and some Vampire Apothecary goodness? Venomous Villains? Last Unicorn? Maleficent!!!!   Who is your fav Disney Villian/villianess? How about hero/herione? (doesn't have to be specifically Disney though) Villianess – Maleficent – Heroine – She-Ra!   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 started dabbling in Crystals but am still very much a beginner so anything would be appreciated!   What's your favorite Halloween Music? I don’t have any! So feel free to enlighten me with your fav if you want!   Villainess has an update. Anyone wanting anything from it? Nothing particular, I love Villainess so anything is fine.   Is there one scent that is your goto for comfort on a bad stressful day? Like the perfume equivilent of a security blankie? The Unicorn or The Dormouse. I recently tried June Gloom & The Unsteady Governess and they are 2 new ones (although I haven’t got bottles of these yet.)   What are you going to be for Halloween? Jem from Jem and the Hollograms.   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? Not so much weird but ANYTHING regarding The Flower Fairies (books, journals, paper, ornaments, calendars ect.)   Anyone like little seasonal decorative wreaths? Like grapevine wreaths embellished with silk flora, etc.? Sure I love wreaths   Do any witchees need a Snuggie? Not particularly, I prefer blankets. I think the snuggie would be nice if it closed at the back.   So, who here loves pomegranates? Are the good as a fruit, a flavoring or just a scent? Never tried it as a fruit on it’s own but I love it in scents.   How are all the witchees fixed for purses--lunchbags, etc? I need a new handbag/purse desperately. Been scouting etsy but they’re so darn expensive. I like ones Like This   Now, I have a question for you. About notes. Which are your favourite ones? Do you have a kind of "note top ten?" Anything that works particularly well on you? Do you have a perfume category (foody, floral, aquatic, musky) that you favour? And are there any notes you have never tried, but think would work well on you?   Notes: violet, violet leaf, green tea, tea in general, sea/salt, lemon, pomegranate, herbs, apple and jasmine. Category: aquatic and fruity     Would you like a sugar skull decorated by your witch? Or do you like sugar skull stuff in general? Sure, why not.   If you were my witchee, would you want to receive Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, or wouldn't that be your cup of classics? Sure.   Would you like some homemade snack mix? Sure.   Knitterly Witchees, would you like a yarn bowl? I’mnot a huge knitter so no thanks!   Pocket shrines! Would you like one, made for a particular obsession of yours? Yes – either farires/mermaids or Twilight or Joseph Gordan-Levitt   Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers? Either   Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like? Sure – sounds cute.   Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)? No thanks.   Would you want your witch to reveal herself? How? Yes please – however they want!   Have you had a chance to try Halloweenies? If so, which ones are you really really in love with this year? Just one that I want so badly – The Unsteady Governess. I might have to break down and buy a bottle when I get paid I love it so much.
