How do you feel about bath products, such as bath salts, powders, bath bombs, etc.? 

yes please!  I could use a nice powder box too.   Just no SLS, parabens, phthalates, etc.  

 

I'll be going to London in a few days! Anything you'd like from there (brit tea, nibbles, Union Jack fridge magnets, CDs of some obscure UK band you're into...?)
wine gums, irn-bru, a pudding mold/steamer, tiffin or tablet, real cadburys, biscuits (custard creams, plain hobnobs, rich tea biscuits, Jaffa cakes, surprise me?), match boxes/match books, red dwarf t shirts or other fandom things, pastilles, hard candy, uk only LUSH, other uk specific bath, body, perfume goodies.  Gargoyle magnets?  Or is that more Notre Dame?  

 

How about handmade bath and/or body products? Any essential oil preferences or sensitivities?

I love handmade!  I had someone on the forum make some bath scrub with amber resin in it and it was heavenly.   skip the usual suspects for sensitivity (cinnamon, etc.) and again with the clean ingredients only please.

Do you want Halloween Ornaments? 

I do like Creepmas ornaments!   I have some on my various wishlists.

Do you burn candles and or wax melts? 

Both technically, but not very often.  

 

I have an extensive Halloween decor collection and could stand to rehome some things including Bath and Bodyworks wall plug-ins and Johanna Parker linens. Would you like to receive some items from this collection? If so what types of items would you like to recieve? (kitchenware, linens, home decor)

I love the Bath and Bodyworks plug ins if they are super gothy, the problem is the B&BW scents bother me.  I often just have the lights plugged in with no wallflower.  (I saw they are getting better and are starting to get with the program about SLS, parabens, etc.)   I have a haunted house, a purple bat, and malificent.    I just googled Johanna Parker and sorry, it is just completely not my style.

 

How would you feel about The Cure Merch?

Like Robert Smith?  I love the Cure!

Anything from the Paintbox Soapworks fall updates look interesting?

Mostly Bath Streusel.   I added the ones I'm interested in to my Moonsift wishlist.  

 

How do we feel about shortbread? Any flavors you particularly interested in (I've done pumpkin, lavender, spicy, rose, chocolate, orange...)?

Sugar is my downfall.  All of those sound delicious!

 

How about graphic novels (physical copies)? 

No thank you, my eyes are too poor for physical copy books.

 

Are you a reader?  Books, magazines, comics??  Have a favorite genre??  Link a wishlist!! 

Yes, but only e-books these days.   Sci-Fi / Epic Fantasy.   My wishlists are all linked in my Circular Swap Help.

How do you feel about seasonal Japanese kitkat flavors provided they stay away from your "least favorite flavors" mentioned in the questionnaire?

Any amount you send will be fought over if I do not hide them immediately.   

 

Do you use any sort of stationery? Japan is the land of cute stationery, so please let me know if any of the following sound fun to you:

Washi tape gets used when I mail perfume.  I don't use planners or stickers that much.

 

Are you a black coffee or coffee with milk type of person?

Both.   If the coffee is really amazing with a full body mouth feel I will drink it black.  Most coffee needs cream and sweetener.  

 

What is your makeup color palette? Do you prefer neutral, warm, or cool colors? Bold or toned-down?

Smokey eye, cool colors.  I rarely wear makeup.

 

What's your relationship to tarot? Do you want/need a deck?

I have plenty of decks and I do not think there are any that I am pining for right now.

 

If you drink tea, are there any specific types you like/don't like and do you prefer loose leaf or bagged?

My favorite is Mariage Frères (and Dammon Frères) but I can't share those wish lists -- so items are added to my Amazon beverages wish list along with some of my other favorite tea like Bird & Blend and Stephen Smith.  And some Harney & Son.  I added some August tea to my Amazon Beverages list too.

 

I'm totally down for trying any local to you black tea as well!  I love flavored but a plain black breakfast tea is fine too.   I also like Jasmine tea, it's pretty much the only green tea I drink besides matcha.

 

I also liketissanes with licorice root and mint; Yogi's Egyptian Licorice Mint (can usually find at your local grocery), Aveda tea, and Breathe Easy tea from Traditional Medicinals.  Also Throat Coat from Traditional Medicinals, would love to try the Eucalyptus one.  (I usually do the Slippery Elm.  Do not send me the Lemon Echinacea please!)

 

--- I say this in my answered questions, but will put it here too.  I loathe rooibos, honeybush, puerrh, mate, and most herbals/tissanes/caffeine free tea.  I don't really like most green tea, fruit tea, or oolong, except for milky oolong.   The only time I like caffeine free tea is if it's a hibiscus tea (like Tazo Passion) OR a licorice & mint tea.  I don't like barley, chamomile, malt, or chili in my tea.  I don't like mint or coffee mixed with black tea - the only thing I like mint tea mixed with is licorice root and basil.  (And this is really the only way I like the flavor mint at all, unless you count frangos or gum.)

 

I'll absolutely be snagging a few things from the Dragon Con online update- see anything you'd like?

Nah, I'm good.  

 

Anything you want from the Autumn Haus of Gloi update? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)

I added a Haus of Gloi collection under my Moonsift wishlist.   Mostly the scrubs in Ghost Puffs (sugar exfoliant highest wish) and the hair oils in Ghost Puffs, Vanilla Taffy, Marshmallows, or Marshmallow Rose.

What are your preferred Halloween colors?

Purple and Black.   

 

I knit. Would you like washcloths or a scarf??  Possibly a hat?? 
---if so what color(s) and do you have any fibers you can’t work with?

I am the worst person to knit for!!   I'd like amigurumi though!   I have a whole "make for me" section on my Ravelry account.  I don't love acrylic.  I do love merino, cashmere, silk.   Acrylic is fine for amigurumi though unless I'm going to snuggle with them.
