Trying to think of anything that might help during swaps:

Personality - I'm almost 54 but I feel like I'm still in my late 30's... aging sucks. I have a strong personality, I'm plant based but I will eat dairy once in a while to make life easier when I'm eating in a restaurant, I am a liberal, support LGBTQ+ and I'm pro-choice, I'm an atheist, I despise Trump, I love dogs and worked in pit bull rescue for many years, I have a pit bull so I fight to dispel the stereotypes, I really love all animals (spiders and mice are captured and released outside). I am a medical marijuana user. The majority of the time I wear a military or baseball type hat outside the house. I have fibromyalgia. I am a jeans girl. At home I live in leggings and tank tops. I'm an introvert. I'm kind and generous (sometimes to a fault) but I'm not above being a bitch if I need to. I'm a true Libra for sure. 

Personal life - I have been married 30+ years to my husband, who was a Marine. We are childfree by choice and have one dog, Coqui

Coqui - our dog has her own Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/coquithedog). She was rescued from the jungles of Puerto Rico. She is the best. I wish she was more of a cuddler but she's perfect otherwise. 

Astrology - born 9/30/69 at 4:16pm cst. I am a Libra, Aquarius Rising, Gemini Moon,  Libra Sun, Cardinal Sign, Air Sign

Harry Potter - I'm Ravenclaw and the Buffalo is my patronus

Fandoms - Harry Potter, The Boys, Supernatural, Schitt's Creek, What We Do In The Shadows series, LOTR, X-Files, Scooby, so many more!

TV Genres - crime, sci-fi, monster, comedy, action, fantasy and horror. I'm not really into medical shows, straight dramas  or anything period

Music - 70/80/90 decades for the most part. My music likes are all over the place. 

Bands - Led Zeppelin, Blue October, Matchbox 20, Econoline Crush, Scorpions, The Police, The Eagles

Singers - Billy Joel, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen

Gemstones - iolite, labradorite, sapphire, kyanite, diamonds, emeralds, amethyst (really any blue/green/purple stones tend to be faves) but moonstone is nice too. I dislike opals and marcasite. 

Jewelry - I have a jewelry business but I still love wearing other's creations too. I love sterling silver and stainless steel. I like earrings. Bracelets (stackable, chunky, metal, gem, chain, cuffs), necklaces (any length, I love to layer), rings (size 5 or 8 are best), love chain maille  and some wire wrapping. I don't react to any metals, thankfully. I like more modern, industrial styles. I'm not a fan of victorian type styling or antiques.

Hobbies - I make jewelry (lavorodesigns.com), I enjoy cooking and baking, We have a 35 foot RV so we like to camp, I love makeup and BPAL, of course. I enjoy hitting the casino and playing the slots, I am addicted to Scentsy and their wax melts. I also use an Erin Condren planner so I like getting stickers for that. I use cannabis which can be a hobby (I dry vape and use edibles, no smoking)

Products - I really like trying exfoliators, scented hand creams and lip balms/glosses/oils. I like trying fancy/artisan chocolate bars! if your area is known for any snacks. I'd love to try them. 

Symbols/Things - I love stars, bats, skulls, pit bulls, sloths, farm animals, otters, snakes, (I really love all animals), cryptids like Nessie and the Chupacabra

BPAL - I am a foodie/bakery lover. I am also part 8 year old that loves all things cotton candy and bubblegum. Most florals give me a headache. Some fruits can go floral, which is weird. Caramel or butter type notes go bad on me. I'm not a fan of honey notes. Some of my fave BPAL scents are: Snake Oil, Blood, Dragon's Milk, Jailbait (anything with bubblegum is a winner, like Pop),  Jack, Smut, Zombie Apocalypse, most foodie Halloweenies are loves of mine. I like sandalwood, vanilla, coconut, coffee, lemon, candy, chocolate, pumpkin, spices, cinnamon, woods, berries (not cranberry). Not a big fan of peach or pear notes or anything too heady. I like some laundry/clean but they need to be sweet. 

No's - anything containing animal flesh (don't get me a bacon chocolate bar), candles (I don't use open flames but I love candle melts), anything flavored with cranberry, anything religious, artificial sweeteners of any kind including Stevia, nothing alcoholic
