    Pre-Round Questions

    Hi Witch, hope this helps! September 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Hmm... Driven, Determined, Quirky, Crass, Leader, Pet lover, Gamer, Spiritual, Fun, Chocoholic How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Yes please! Anything not tequila! What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I like fudge AND brownies. Chocoholic. I live in Indiana so it's pretty much betwee 40-70 F right now. It would fare alright. I like marshmallow chocolate fudge or nuts in anything (plus nuts in it ensure my hubby won't nom it all ) Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I have never tried it! Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE See wishlist, updated it to reflect. Does anyone like kimchi? I never have tried it, but I'm going to lean towards no.

I do enjoy samples though You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Oh gosh. 3 Bottles of Dorian and then one of everything else In all seriousness it'd be a GC fest: Morocco, Sudha Segara, Sea of Glass, Black Pearl, Obatala, Embalming Fluid, Velvet...I'd get all my favorites And the Trading Post soaps and TKO Massage Oil. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I briefly looked at the website and it looked interesting. I also like the sound of the goat's milk lotion... Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? I am not too into sports though soccer is getting under my skin. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? LOVE. I can never have too many journals or notebooks. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? They make me twitch and get neurotic, actually. Hate cleaning it up. Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have never received anything from MeiLin. How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I like them in theory but generally if I don't hide them away my cat will come molest them. It's sad.

When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Soup. Tea. Heating pads. Drugs What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!)

    The Girl

    A seductive, serpentine white scent, elusive, crystalline, and spellbinding: white amber, silver birch, immortelle, davana, pale musk, star jasmine, and ylang ylang. The Girl is so, so, so lovely. Probably my #1 LE and it is HARD to find a bottle! I have been coveting my tiny imp. Should probably review it. In imp: floral but also that same creaminess/musk I get from Dorian. Sweet but not overly so. Wet: Skin hugging musk and crystalline floral abound. Dry: This is really like a second skin. Body hugging BPAL to the max. Throw isn't huge but that's what gives it the intrigue. Pale musk is doing it for me. Florals never get obnoxious yet keep it feminine--the chilliness is helpful in this aspect. Again, like Dorian, this is the kind of cream/musk/vanilla I can get behind and it's the definition of simply lovely perfume. Staying power is excellent. I get whiffs the next day still. This perfume is one of those perfect blends. Simply amazing. I regret not buying a bottle when it was out. Hardcore. In the meantime I will hoard the precious decant and stretch it out for as long as humanly possible. Definitely a 11 out of 10. Perfection!

    Dorian

    I tried a sniffie of this when I first began BPAL but didn't like it. I was PIF'd an imp by Dark Alice a few weeks ago and HOMG. I think my skin chemistry has changed. This. is. LOVE. In the vial, it was pretty innocuous. Pretty light and not at all aggressive.Couldn't really suss much out by just sniffing it. Wet: Mmm, tea and the good kind of vanilla. Hint of lemon. Fresh. Creamy. Soft. Dry: HEAVEN. Really, this, for some reason, evokes something similar to The Girl for me (which is nice, The Girl is 1) htf and 2) frakking expensive when you do). I think my skin chemistry has changed with age and medications over time and seriously, I got a warm vanilla with tea and what I feel is maybe skin musk? I never was a big fan of vanilla in the past but this just melds perfectly. Not too big of throw which is what I want for work. I get a whiff now and again when moving and it's just....ahhh! Lovely!

    Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? Hmm…I really enjoy German chocolate…especially if it’s dark and chock full of hazelnuts… What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Jeeze…hm… Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Cheese as in…cheese? Or corny? I’m not big on cheese and I’m not sure what else I’d want I mean, I like maple syrup! If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Oh mah god. EAT ALL THE THINGS! I would love dark chocolate with hazelnuts, almonds, dried cherries, dried cranberries, coconut…that sort of deal. Milk chocolate with ginger and cardamom would also be good amirite? Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? Say what now? say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? Ditto. Say what now?!? September 25th Stuff you've been meaning to do: Update my drivers license address…paint the living room, mow the lawn? Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Why yes! Just nothing too spicy as far as jam. Spicy salsa—yes please. Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? I generally read for 30 minutes before bed and then I pray. I always slather on lotion on my elbows and knees and feet and hands before bed and love lavender scented bedtime stuff. Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? …huh? Princess Bride? Yay or nay? NAY. Ugh. I hate it! What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches I like mythology more than fairytales…but I’d have to say Snow White? September 24th how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? Fine. I’m not opposed to fibers of most kinds. What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Creatures as in cats or little carvings would be fine. Creepy critters? Not so much! Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Gray work slacks, a white tank top with a teal, gathered jersey cardigan over it. Kerchiefs? I want to love them, but my hair might be too fine for it to stay in place. It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? I’d be playing Plants Vs. Zombies or Fallout: New Vegas.

    Mmmm ketchup. 9-20-11

    Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Green tea is my #1 (and I'd love green tea + flavor), and then I'd be really open to fruit or herbal teas... Name your 3 favorite scents for candles... Hmm, I had this amazing candle my mother in law bought me as part of the Haiti relief effort. I can't remember the brand! It was the BEST SMELLING CANDLE EVAR. And now it's gone. I like homey spicy scents. Apple, fig, pumpkin, etc. No pine or mint or sweet sugary fruits. While my home is not country in styling, I like those traditional 'home' smells. Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? No, I lose them or the cat tries to eat them. Sorry Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I love all of their soap. ALL OF IT. Never tried a perfume oil. Glancing quickly, I'd love to try a few decants of it...

    Switch Witch 2011

    Well, as you can see it's been TWO YEARS since my last SW round. *knocks off the dust* I will be posting my questions in here as well as sometimes in thread 9-18-11 Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Yes. Yes. YES! I would enjoy a t-shirt made for me with like...a snarky tv quote on it (bonus points if it's a Joss Whedon show.) I don't like babydoll t-shirts and I would take a large. That would be awesome, actually... How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Very good. I just bought 5 pumpkin candles for the sconce over my fireplace but I could use some jar candles or votives or oil/tarts for my diffusers. Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Hmm...I am looking for TV shows mostly. Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Nope, sorry. Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Yes! I am a novice cook. I am trying to branch out. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE crock pot recipes. New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Uh, pretty good? I like it Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I am really NOT a Star Wars fan. Blasphemy, I know. Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Yes! I like it! Meat, mmm. I like all sizes/textures. Spicy is fine. I also like waterfowl or venison jerky. And turkey jerky. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Fine with it but PLEASE give me a NSFW heads up because I'm a lazy person who does BPAL.org and the like while in the office Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Sorry, get out the tissues. Nay. Anyone love Buffy/Angel? YES YES YES YES YES ME ME ME RIGHT HERE *JUMPS UP AND DOWN* I am a Buffyphile. I love it. Too much. So much. Anything BTVS related would be WIN! I have the first two comic book volumes. I would love to read more of them or the dvd of the Season 8 comic. How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Yes! And if I didn't like them (and even if I do) my husband will boost them for himself. Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Yes and Yes! Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I want to go see Ben Folds with the symphony at the end of October but new house is not conducive to ticket purchases. I do have tickets to see Brandi Carlile (again) in November. I LOVE HER. Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? Zombies can go super gory and creepy. I do like pumpkins though.

    Tiki Princess

    I really, really loved this...until my body decided to amp the coconut to like 1000x it's smell-power. Holy cow! Overwhelming! I love me some coconut, but it ate every other note in here and just kind of fizzled. Don't get me wrong, I'd still wear it, but I'd need to layer it with something else...maybe something citrus so it could have a fighting chance of being sniffed. A lovely summer scent, but my skin finds the BPAL coconut notes and amplifies them too much! In the vial I got a nice sniff of florals, but on my skin...goodbye! 3.5/5 because I *do* love coconut.
  9. Happicuppa

    Monarch

    Hmm...I'm not sure I'd wear this but the scent was interesting. I get a very buttery, pulpy scent from this, the mixing of the mandarin and pumpkin I believe and a nice tang from the ginger and amber. It's not something I'd wear, but it doesn't smell bad. Just incredibly different. Juicy and pulpy and fun, just not to my taste. 2/5
  10. Happicuppa

    Paper Kite

    This is a tricky little scent! I love it but unfortunately it doesn't love me and my skin burned like the dickens on application. Still, if I could wear it, I would. I love the coconut and pepper's interaction and it gives me a scent all unto itself. It reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. It's fun and sweet with a nice pepper bite. I'd give it a 3/5 but since it buuuuuuurns I'll give it a 2/5.
  11. Happicuppa

    Luna

    Hello GREEN! This whole scent is 'green' to me. I love the playful scent of the green musk and lime and pear that intertwine so well. Definitely a great, fresh summer scent. Again, not a lot of throw on my skin, but I still love it. Bottle worthy? Maybe not, but I will love my imp of it and maybe find another. 4/5

    Spicebush Swallowtail

    This will be so lovely in the fall. Possibly in my oil burner. I'm not sure this is a good skin scent for me, it gave me burning tinglies, but it IS lovely. Spicy, playful and reminiscent of fall, I think this is a winner. I will bump out some other fall favorites for this one....mm, the brown sugar and sassafras were amped on me (though I think I blame the clove for the burning) and it was a lovely combination when the plum got playful. 3/5

    Rosy Maple

    WOW! I liked this way more than I thought I would because I amp sweet pea like it's my job. I didn't get any hints of overly sugared rose or candyfloss but I do get a nice whiff of the vanilla and lemon and my, this is a sweet, fun scent. I don't know if I would wear it to work, but it's a great summer scent and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not usually a foodie-sweet wearer and I might just dab this on during the weekends. 4/5

    Common Jezebel

    Ech, this did not work. I was hoping for any little bit of coconut or red currant. They are two of my favorite scents. I didn't even get any lemon sugar. All I got was Apricot and vetiver battling it out in a death match of 'meh'. The vetiver won and I was disappointed. 1/5, I will not be wearing this one.

    Great Grey Witch

    At first, this one does not sit well on me. While wet it's all sugar and ambergris on my skin, but at drydown the chamomile comes out and mellows the whole thing down a few notches. It then turns very faint on my skin and I found it pleasant, but not something I'd want to wear very often. Not my favorite of the set, but still lovely in it's own way. I'm a chamomile junkie and I just wish it would have amped up more and given me the best of that scent. I give it a 3/5.

    Gypsy

    This was sexy. It started out musky and then the vanilla and tonka kicked it up a notch and the cardamom came out to play .It went from a bit 'meh' to absolutely gorgeous in about 5 minutes. Probably the most wearable out of the set and I will definitely wear it. Again, maybe not bottleworthy, but one imp is not enough! 5/5
  17. Happicuppa

    Chiroptera

    I was graciously BPAL Santa'd this by Stellans....and omg...love. In the vial it's very floral and when I apply it, I get lemony/lavender and a lovely light floral throw. It's not very strong and I get it in whiffs...but holy cow...lovely. I almost smell a little bit of 'bats' themselves, but maybe it's me...I believe it's the lemon and sage playing together. Lovely, and feeling very lucky to try this. Divine! 4.5/5!

    House of Mirrors

    I was frimped this a while ago from Dark Alice and I haven't gotten around to reviewing it though I've worn it a few times... In the bottle: Sea-of-Glassy with more Ozone and a hint of amber Wet: Cologney ozone with the salty glass feeling Dry: Amber and ozone and a hint of salt and quite lovely actually. I test drove it on my husband as well, but liked it better on me. Awesome scent and really enjoy it! 4/5
  19. Happicuppa

    Snow White

    2009 Version In the bottle: more floral and snowy On Wet: Almonds, flowers, ozone and strangely...coconut... Dry: Very floral-almondy with a twist of vanilla and coconut...mmm...deliciously light yet noticeable throw and strangely, almonds have never smelled so good!
  20. Happicuppa

    The Girl

    Um. Awesome. Soft on my skin with a femininity but not overly perfumey. I like it quite a bit though it backs off in drydown and I can't get much throw...but it's definitely bottleworthy...oooh In Imp: wet floral, white musks Wet: sweet but soft floral, and warmer than cold Dry: lovely and soft and lingering but not a huge throw. Verdict: yes please 5/5

It would be good, but only to a local organization and I would prefer it to go to the Steuben County Humane Society of Angola, IN. ******9/15***** Does anyone have any symbols they consider to be personally significant or talismanic?

I would like to be a vigilante...though I think I'd border on villain... What mythical or fantastic race of creatures (dragons, unicorns, griffins, elves, dwarves, faeries, etc.) do you most identify with, and why?

How do you feel about Dia de los Muertos? Are you interested in sugar skulls? Catrina (or other) skeleton figurines? No thanks! Do you have a favorite poem or poet?

Any songs you are desperately into at the moment? Oh jeeze, I don't know...my husband has made me like A Fine Frenzy...which is ironic. I am also guilty-pleasuring over Lady Gaga's Boys, Boys, Boys and I really love Metric's "Satellite Mind" What's autumn like in your neck of the woods? What do you love and/or hate about it? It's got pretty trees, chilly breezes, and lovely sunny days. Temp is around 40-65 during Autumn. I love fall. I hate being hot. What's your favorite product(s) at Trader Joe's?

Is there a store that you love which does not have a location near you (but that has a physical presence somewhere, not just online? Why do you love it so much? Trader Joes, Lush, and I'd die to get to go to one of the BPAL Will-Calls (and so would my credit card. I don't have that much self control.) Lolcats....yeah or nay? Sometimes What is your favorite creepy folk story or legend? Hm...I liked the 'joke' story of Shower Caddy the ghost that haunted my dorm's bathroom and shower facilities. Apparently she slipped and fell and died in the showers and haunted them throughout the building. If your witch were to either write something for you or put together a collection of ghost stories, would you rather have it in writing, recorded as an oral telling, or both? Writing if anything, but not something I'd absolutely have to have... If you had the funds to comission an original painting for yourself, what would it be of? What would it be like- colors, size, style? I would have paintings done of my 7 characters from the online forum based RPG I play in. Seven strong, lovely, women with quirky identities. ******9/12-13***** What's something you're really looking forward to in the semi-near future? Hm, well, I was looking forward to moving but it seems all of our good news is tempered with bad news and now I don't think we'll be moving to where we had hoped. What fictional character do you most identify with and why? Lirael from the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix, I think. She never felt like she fit in (as did I in high school) and she found her path and pursued it and learned to lead. I'm a person who likes to take control of the situation. Could you use a 'travel' imp case? How many should it hold? Yes! I use a plastic baggy currently. Maybe 6 imps? I would love an altered Altoid tin to hold them. As a witchee, would you prefer to have many little packages sent to you throughout the round with a not-so-big final package or fewer things throughout the round with one huge final package to seal the sweetness? Oh that's a toughie...I think I like the mid-round package and then an end one with e-cards and such sprinkled in between but it really doesn't matter all that much though ninja-witches DO make me feel nervous. What is your idea of the perfect evening at home? Hm...me and my hubby ordering in food, sitting down to one of our favorite shows, lighting some candles and having my back rubbed and then going to bed after a long conversation. Or, you know, running some instances in WoW with the husband. We're not the romantic, idealized type. Are you on any social networks (MySpace, Twitter, LJ, Facebook, Bebo, etc)? If so, make with the links! Are you open to new friends? I'm on Facebook which I use most often, and have twitter and myspace accounts that I really don't use. What kind of socks? If I wear socks, the kind that don't make my feet sweat. So no nylon or weird materials please. How often do you update your wishlist? Probably quarterly. It's mostly current. My Kaboodle and Bath and Body WL are current. May I help you fill out your costuming wardrobe (assuming you costume)? Are there articles you are seeking to enhance your a) Halloween costume, Renfest attire, c) Cosplay, d) Steampunk accouterment? I wish I had somewhere to wear costumes, but I really don't! So, who has a store or ETSY shop or knows of a shop of a fellow BPALer that everybody needs to check out? I tend to hover around the Haunt, Magic Hands and Savor etsy accounts... Who are your favorite artists/illustrators/art periods? Hm, I really like Art Deco and stained glass and Frank Lloyd Wright architectural design What's your stance on cranberries? LOVE EM. Do you mind receiving used (in good condition, of course) CDs or DVDs? (I know this question was on the questionnaire about books, but I didn't see one for DVDs or CDs.) Used is much better in my opinion. Go right ahead. Do you have a crush on anyone famous? Do you have a crush on any literary characters? Hm...Hunky Man Flesh: Patrick Dempsey, Crispen Glover (don't ASK), Aaron Eckhart (wipes up drool puddle), Marc Blucas, James Marsters, Tahmoh Penikett, Michael C Hall, Nathan Fillion and ALAN TUDYK. Literary charries: Richard and Damian from the Anita Blake Series, Frost and Rhys from Merry Gentry, Touchstone from Sabriel, and a lot more but I'm spacing out. Would you like fanfiction or fan art based on this/these people? Hm, I love Jossverse FF. So yes to that but the others, eh... You're at home, or out, and you want a snack. Something that will get you through to the next meal, or through to the end of school or what ever. What do you grab? A chewy 90 cal granola bar or a glass of milk Do you have a favorite bpal bottle art? I love the Carnival art. Are there any decants from the Halloweenies, Literary Vampires, Gris Grimly, or Hellboy that you would be interested in receiving? You know, I should probably check.

    Snow, Glass, Apples

    I get some weird vibes from this. I'm definitely getting crisp, fresh cut sour green apples and chilly mint and then it all goes to hell and I get this powdery 'pre-teen' perfume scent that gave me one hum-dinger of a headache. Fresh on it was deliciously crisp, cold and apple-y but dry down failed me miserably. Powder and apples...noooo thanks. 1.5/5 for headache inducing properties.
