Nocturne Alchemy Question: I only wear BPAL perfumes, so no thank you!

Halloween Colors: black, purple, dark green, silver, dark red, hints of orange, but not a lot

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 mostly use wool but also yak, camel, nylon, cotton, silk, and acrylic. : I am down for just about anything yarn-craft and am not picky about yarn type, although soft is nice. (see colors above and in my questionnaire)

How do you feel about seasonal Japanese kitkat flavors provided they stay away from your "least favorite flavors" mentioned in the questionnaire?: ABSOLUTELY. My kiddo actually went to Japan over the summer and DID NOT BRING ME BACK ANY KITKATS and I almost disowned them.   I should note, as I think I failed to do so in my questionnaire, that I don't actually care for matcha. *ducks*

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:

• a 2027 planner : No thank you. I have a disc notebook that I use as a planner

• washi tape : sure!

• stickers: sure!

Are you a black coffee or coffee with milk type of person?: Interestingly, I used to only be able to drink coffee with milk, but have started drinking it black more often (although usually at restaurants and such it's so strong I need milk). And I love a seasonally flavored latte.

What is your makeup color palette? Do you prefer neutral, warm, or cool colors? Bold or toned-down?: Bold and cool ish - mostly blues and greens for eyes, dark burgandy leaning a little brown for lips. I don't ever wear blush. 

What's your relationship to tarot? Do you want/need a deck? : I don't really have one. I used to play around with a deck and with runes mostly for focusing intent, but haven't really used any sort of oracle for years. So, no thank you!

• How would you feel about an opened but never used deck?: na, unless it is really themed to one of my fandoms, I guess.

Is there anything specifically from Japan you would be interested in?: Other than kitkats, I'm pretty set (my youngest is into anime and manga and just went to Japan this past summer and we're planning a family trip next summer and regularly hit a local store specializing in Japanese imports, so we are very set at the moment).

Tea: I mostly drink black tea and herbal/tsanes and particularly like gourmond blends in seasonal flavors. Loose or bags are both fine. I am not a big fan of matcha or green tea generally.

I'll absolutely be snagging a few things from the Dragon Con online update- see anything you'd like?: I have honestly not even had time to look, but should be set. 

Anything you want from the Autumn Haus of Gloi update?: I LOVE their bubbling scrubs and pumpkin butter. Apple Milk and Blood Orange Marshmallow are old faves, but I would be interested in trying Blue Roan, Pumpkin Eater and Olde Cider Haus. 

Anything from the Paintbox Soapworks fall updates look interesting? I need to place an order myself (I've fallen in love with Hailey's skincare) so will likely throw some Bundty, the only seasonal that's really calling me, into my cart. 

How do we feel about shortbread? Any flavors you particularly interested in (I've done pumpkin, lavender, spicy, rose, chocolate, orange...)? This is my question, but I am always down to try other people's iterations in whatever flavors match my general preferences. 

How about graphic novels (physical copies)? Absolutely. Graphic novels are about all I read in hard copy these days. Do check my Goodreads, though, because I have a lot on my shelves there.
