I love this! Not a whole lot of throw to it, but the scent is lovely. Fizzy apples with spice. To me it smells like a Christmas shop, which is one of my favorite scents! I'm keeping it at my computer desk, because even unlit it smells wonderful if I'm close to it.

If so, what size would you wear? I'm pretty good with tshirts right now. -Halloween Candy, Decorations, and Costume supplies - What kind are your idea of FUN and which ones would you thoroughly dislike? I love candy corn!! I love 'witch kitsch' decorations (though any type of halloween decorations are awesome, lol). I'm okay for costume supplies, though I could use a really decent witch hat and hat pin to go with it. -What traditions to you partake in for Halloween? None at the moment. When I was a kid though, my mom and sister and I were ALWAYS witches for Halloween, and I want to start doing that again, and do that with my daughter once she's old enough, too! -Hey, Witchee, it's getting cold.

I have a habit of chewing lipstick right off, and I don't like gloss too much. I only ever use Lip Medex balm. For lipstick I wouldn't mind trying Lip Tar, in a nice cool red (blue toned, not orange toned) or dark pink (nothing too bright or light pink, I prefer more of a magenta for pinks) -Since wishlist links never seem to work in forum mail, won't you please re-post your wishlist links here, so they're readable?

I could always use more standard barbell earrings, 18g. I have 11 holes in my ears, lol For necklaces, I like choker length for necklaces, though anything is okay, just not super long - anything super long tends to get lost in my cleavage -Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them?

I'm at home with a newborn, so no away time here. -Is there anything you'd like from Lush, witchee? I REALLY want to try the Snow Fairy shower gel. I also want to try the Randy Buttercream soap, Brazened Honey mask, and the Mint Julips lip scrub. -If I were your witch and were to paint you something, what would you absolutely love, what would you feel ambivalent toward, and what would you not like to see or receive? I'd love anything video game related. I wouldn't want anything flowery, or super abstract. -Are you interested in anything from the Haus of Gloi yule update on November 3rd?

Robots are fun -If I made fairy, dragon or butterfly wing earrings, would you wear them? If so, which would you prefer? Probably not, I typically just wear standard barbell earrings right now.

Whatever my Witch wants Part of the fun for me is all the communication and such during the round (so a ninja witch this time is taking a bit getting used to, lol!), but I'm good with whatever my Witch would like to do

In the imp, this is amazing! Spicy honey pumpkin. YUM. On me, it turns ALL pumpkin. And kind of sour pumpkin, not even yummy pumpkin. I wish it stayed the way it is in the imp for me!

2013 version - In the imp, this stuff is FANTASTIC. Even in the closed imp, my room now smells appley and woodsy and spicy and delicious. It reminds me of a renaissance faire, which is one of my favorite smells in the world! On me...eh. The woodsy smell turns a bit dusky, and the apple smell gets all medicinal, and that's all I get from it. Not awful, but not the deliciousness I get from the imp, and not something I would wear. Now if this were a candle...

An illuminating double ententre! A sticky, sweet peppermint candy cane with a copious dusting of vanilla. This is FANTASTIC!! VERY minty - but a soft mint, with all that vanilla. A very sweet candy cane! It's just lovely. I'll be ordering a backup for sure!

This is DELICIOUS! It smells JUST like being at a carnival. Salty, nutty, a bit spicy, and several kinds of sweet. I love this stuff! It is pretty strong, and for me it lasted quite a while.

Part Two of the SW Summer 2013 questions! Wishlist links are at the beginning of Part One 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) : I think the stuff I'd really like to get most would be some art supplies from my Amazon wishlist and Lush stuff I'd mentioned from the earlier question about it. That's the stuff I'd be buying for myself anyway at least (and sure will once the round is over...if I can resist the temptation for that long ) Do you like tarot cards, pendulums and rune stones etc? If so, what type? - I do like Tarot cards, though I don't use them much and tend to be VERY picky about them. I have the Aquarian Tarot (the same type of deck my mom used, it's always been my favorite), and the Shadowscapes Tarot deck & book from Stephanie Pui-Mun Law (one of my favorite artists, I got to meet her at Dragon*con last year!), as well as both the Brian Froud Faerie Oracle decks. Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit? Not really. Would you like something from Empire Edibles? I think I'm okay there! Do you have any problems with swearing or particularly off-color humor? Nope, but I'd prefer nothing displayable along those lines. 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? Nothing is calling to me from the update. 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 games! We have a bunch already - though more Munchkin expansions are always welcome! What style is your sense of humour? I like very silly things. Is there anything from Australia you would like? eg: snacks (yes, you can ask for Tim Tams!), books, magazines, memorabilia? Not that I can think of, but if it's along the lines of any of the questions answered so far, sure! I've never had Tim Tams so I don't even know if I like those, lol. Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for? Yay! Target, Amazon, Joann's and Michaels are all all good here! Put your mp3 player/online music/itunes/etc on random and list the next 10 songs here: Truth and Reconcilliation Suite - Halo Soundtrack March of the Pigs - Nine Inch Nails Radagast the Brown - The Hobbit Soundtrack Please Don't Leave Me - Pink Contact - Daft Punk Nothing Can Stop the Smooze - My Little Pony (lol) I Am Stretched on your Grave - Abney Park Night Surgeon - Repo! The Genetic Opera Sountrack Learn Me Right - Brave Soundtrack Of Wolf and Man - Metallica Heh, I have a WIDE variety of music in my itunes. Almost enough I can listen for an entire week I think O_o If you happen to find out who yours is, how much would it bother you? I like the surprise at the end, but if it sneaks out I think I’d be okay  Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking? Luna2119 is one of my best friends and lives close to me  Also Venneh and nekogrrl I think know me pretty darn well at this point!! Do you use waxmelts or tarts? If so, which ones do you prefer? I don’t use either Do you enjoy drinking hot chocolate, and would you like stuff to make it with, or to add to it? I do, but I don’t drink it very often. Have you ever tried Spoonfudge? Would you enjoy it if your Witch would send you some? Which of the flavors would you like? …why would you do that to me??? So many yummy looking flavors! Cookies and Cream, Cinnamon That’s How We Roll, Salted Caramel, Heavenly Buttercup, Chocolate Coconutty, Lemon Cheesecake, and Brownie Cheesecake all look delicious!! What's your opinion on Moonalisa? Any favorites or products you'd like to try? I haven’t tried them, and considering all the other wonderful sounding cleansing products I’ve now heard about I think I may try to stay away from this one, lol. 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) Not that I can think of. Ninjas or Pirates? PIRATES! Werewolves or Vampires? PUPPIES!! I like werewolves  Zombie or Cthulhu? …I have to choose?? Do you want to receive one big package or a bunch of small ones? Digital stuff all at the end when the box should arrive or as we go? I prefer small ones, and digital whenever, but I’ll be happy with whatever my Witch is good with  Do you welcome knitted items? If so, what would you like most? (amigurumi, washcloth, socks, shawl, shawlette, scarf, wrist warmers, hat, etc.) Do you have any favorite fibers? How about any fiber allergies? Favorite color for knitted items? Shawls and wrist warmers are fun, though won’t get TONS of use. I’d prefer not to have straight up wool, due to being in Florida and it makes me itchy. I love blues and greens, and black  Or all out rainbow. I love rainbows! Do you have any symbols or totems that are meaningful to you? I actually like phoenixes a whole lot, though I don't actually own anything with that imagery on it. I def. went through a rebirth of sorts when I met my husband, after losing myself in my previous relationship. There is a card in my Faerie Oracle set that represents the phoenix, too, and it constantly comes up when I use the cards. Mermaids are also big for me, I have one tattooed on my back. And faeries. I swear I can feel I have wings sometimes! When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? I like to curl up in my room and read, and just be alone and quiet. OR I like to do the opposite and go out with friends for a beer (though that doesn't happen right now). Making art helps, too, so lately I've been trying to focus on that! Would you like if your witch sent a regional pop/soda? If so, what type (Root beer, creme soda, cola, citrus-flavored, chocolate-flavored, etc...)? No thanks, I'm not really a big soda person! What is your favorite color? Turquoise! What is your favorite season? It depends on where I am! I'm typically a summer girl - but FL summers are gods-awful. I adore fall up north, I really miss the fall foliage. And I love a beautiful snowy morning, and miss that sometimes. If you could live anywhere in the world and money was no object, where would it be? Hawaii. I've been there once, and fell in love with the place. If not there, either Australia or Ireland. I've been to Ireland, have a good bit of Irish ancestry, and I loved it over there. Australia I've never been to, but I've wanted to go there and New Zealand since I was in kindergarten. -Do you have any long trips coming up? If so, could you use things to occupy yourself? I'm 30 weeks preggo, I don't think I'm going on any trips anywhere anytime soon! -I'm going to Jungle Jim's next week (it's basically a massive international food gasm in Ohio, look it up); would anything interest you? No thanks. -Name three things that you could use, but might not necessarily think to get for yourself? A Nintendo 3DS XL I could probably use an extra phone charger for my HTC One, a little spiral bound notebook for my desk - I take notes a lot when I'm at my computer, and black and blue Pilot Precise V5 pens in the fine (or ultra fine - I love skinny tips on pens!) point. -Does anything from the TP Etsy update interest you? Nah I just found out Oreo is launching ones with watermelon flavor in the USA only. Is it something you would enjoy? I dunno about those... Is there a particular movie genre that you like (Fantasy? Drama? Romantic Comedy? Musicals? TV-Series, etc), and what format would you prefer: I'm big on getting the Disney movies right now. I know I'll want them for the Goblin, plus I just love them in general myself and keep meaning to buy them but I never do! I have a few already. I prefer actual DVDs at the moment Do you like BPTP clothing? Meh, I don't really have any, and it's never been on my list of stuff to get. What else do you love from the Trading Post site, and need to have? A locket!!! Especially the Carnival Diabolique one, and the Calico Jack one. Stuff from Seattle: Not that I can think of Tattoos: LOVE tattoos, and have one at the moment, a mermaid on my back. I want to get a phoenix that my mom is working on designing on one shoulder, and then...I don't know what on the other shoulder. Either a faerie or a dragon, but nothing cutesy. I also want to get gallifreyan symbols on my feet...either that or Portals, lol. Still deciding on that, too. But a new tattoo is high on my list of things to do! How do you feel about home-canned goods? Meh TAL on etsy? I keep thinking about Forumla 2, I'm just not quite sure enough yet. Something about it is really interesting to me. There's only 4 left though, I need to make a decision soon! -Following up on the Adagio question from earlier, what are you top five wishes, for teas and blends? I don't like tea. -Do you have anything that you do ritually, every summer? Stay in the AC as much as possible? -What are your top five wishes from ThinkGeek? ONLY FIVE?? If I had to pick 5 things right now, these would prolly be them - One Two Three Four Five! -Seen anything lately that makes you go OH HOLY FUCK THAT'S AWESOME!! ? THIS Vampire castle legos!! SO COOL!! Do you like audiobooks? If so, do you have/would you like to try Audible? (I'm an addict, myself.) I'm not big on audio books, I get to distracted doing other things then miss half of what I was listening to! Chocolate: Love? Hate? Allergic? If love, what are your faves? Chocolate is all right Though I especially love it in fudgy brownie form ;D Does the idea of wearing a plant as jewelry give you the warm fuzzies or the heebie jeebies? - Those are adorable! I like the Bryophyllum, and the Hen & Chicks. I'm afraid I'd forget to water them though Gourmet popcorn, yes/no? I'm not much of a gourmet popcorn fan, but I wouldn't mind trying maybe something a little spicy, or something sweet. I make my own hair gloss, would you like some detangling and very shiny hair gloss made by me? This is a 'cone rich blend, not the least bit natural. No thanks I know Canadian chips can be different than others, how does "dill pickle" or "ketchup" sound? I love ketchup chips! If you were getting a custom Haus of Gloi blend, what four notes would you choose? I'd like to try 2 different combinations - 1. - Vanilla Bean and Lemon 2. - Vanilla Bean and Cinnamon Sugar QUESTION! Do you like Kickstarter? Are there any projects up that you really like? I do like Kickstarter, but I tend to be fairly picky about what I fund - I've had someone not deliver on rewards before, after I funded a pretty good (for me) amount of money O_o QUESTION! If you have an Etsy wishlist, what are your top 5 favorite things on there? The price is unimportant, not because I'm rich, but because I'd like some inspiration. In no particular order... 1. This Derpy Hooves (I love ragdoll type dolls, especially when they are of geeky things! And, you know, Derpy Hooves is just awesome anyway) - Derpy! 2. Sailor Cosmos rag doll! - Cosmos! 3. This Dragon necklace - Dragon 4. This bracelet - Bracelet! 5. This skirt - Skirt! How do you feel about glitter? does loose glitter make your skin crawl or would you bathe in it? I love glitter!! Though having a puppy I'd prefer not to actually be glitter bombed, she'd probably eat it. Do you want/need/like/collect journals? If so, do you prefer lined or unlined? I do like journals, and would love a fancy unlined one to start art journaling in Every package has to have something blue in it. Blue can also be used to describe more risque humor...how would you rate your general sense of humor? Are you strictly PG-13, R-rated, NC-17? Generally PG13, but I appreciate more risque humor, too. If I wanted to include something for your fluffball, what would be good, and what should I stay away from? I have a 60 lb dog named Pirate - she's a pit/boxer/boston terrier mix, and only about 2 years old. She loves edible treats/rawhide, and hard plastic kong type toys - especially the kind you can put treats IN and she has to work to get them. Stay away from stuffed toys, and rope, basically anything fabric/fiber.

I've recently stated making art cards, so any supplies for that are welcome. I just treated myself to a bunch of the Distress stains, ink pads, and markers - but anything like funky rubber stamps (not so into the cutesy stuffs) or fun doodads I can glue/pin onto paper would be totally welcome! Also fun papers and supplies would be welcome as well! Rare bpal you'd like to have? A bottle of P013. I love that scent!!

Would you like to get ebooks? I have a Kindle, and I would like e-books! I don't really have a wishlist for those, but I really like sci-fi/fantasy.

Are there any you want to play? Do you have a large library? Ooooooh video games, how I love thee... I'm a big PC gamer, and have a rather large Steam library (user name is zombiewench on Steam). I also really love the Blizzard games - WoW, Diablo, Starcraft (I buy all the collectors editions when I can!).

I like the scrubs. I'd like to try the Orange Crush and the Ginger Milk scrubs Do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you grow? We have a yard! We haven't gotten anything yet, but we keep looking at annuals to plant, and little palm trees. I would mind having a few dog and kid friendly indoor plants - I have a spider plant right now that I've had since I was 16, and I'm sure it could use some friends! Do you like sample sized things? Sample sizes are awesome! Have you tried Fortune Cookie Soap? What products or scents would you like? I've never tried them! I'd love to try the Cold Buster Shower Steamer, the Aquaholic Sea Salt Hair Spritz, and the Clearly Complexion Clay Mask. Do you use solid soaps at all? If so, what kind do or don't you like? Not a fan of solid soaps. Have you ever tried Cocoa Pink? If you are curious about it, what looks interesting to you? Haven't tried them, but didn't see anything that stood out to me. 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? I've never tried Lush!

Any particular products? Eye shadow pigments in general? Shiro is FANTASTIC!! I have tons of stuff from her already, so I'm good there I like shadow pigments a lot, I actually need to get some more Electric Stardust from Fyrinnae. I don't like any black-based pigments, and I tend to like 'cooler' shades of shadows - blues, greens, purples, greys. As I am in Japan, what sort of things would you like from there? I'm a big Sailor Moon fan, so maybe some fun SM goodies? I don't even know what else I'd want! Do you read literature/culture blogs or websites of any kind? I'm thinking about anything that would help a putative witch to get a sense of what your current tastes in books, movies, games, genres, approaches to culture and literature and so forth are. I don't really do a lot of blog reading I guess. I should! 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 don't generally do picnics - living in Florida we have way too many bugs for that sort of thing If you were put in a room with 100 random other people the same age and sex as you, from your country, in what way do you think you would be different from the average? Hmmm...that's a good question! I guess thinking of how I differ from most of the girls here at work my age...I'm a lot nerdier/geekier than the average girl I run into. I'd much rather start having a conversation about video games and books than about celebrity gossip or what color my shoes are (I frequently have to listen to that kind of stuff at work, lol). I have a lot of earrings (11) and a n Haus of Gloi did a Reverie update! Do any of them interest you? (Or anything else up currently?) Nothing from the Reverie, but I'm interested in the 'Perfume for you' stuff - I want to make 2 - Vanilla bean and cinnamon sugar; and Lemon, Vanilla Bean and Cake! Which reading level do you prefer to read in YA or Adult? Or even both? Both are great! Cooking? Still trying to learn, but the exhaustion I've had since getting preggo has put a lot of stuff on hold. What colors/style is your kitchen decor? And do you entertain in your home? My hubby wants a RED kitchen, so that's what we tend to go for. And anything nerdy, lol. Are your ears pierced? Yep! I wear little barbells in most of the holes, and half hoops in the top ones. I can pretty much only wear surgical steel in my ears. Do you like stuffies/stuffed animals/art doll type thingies? If so, any particular type you'd love to get? I do! Anything baby-safe right now would be awesome for the soon to arrive Goblin, or anything funky monster or faerie-like for me. 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? I'd love to write more. And I'd love to really be able to focus on art stuff - learning more about mixed media type things and developing my own distinct style would be fantastic. Is there any thing - an object, a donation on your behalf, some research done for you, whatever - that your witch could do about this that you would like? And if you can't think of a present, would you rather she/he (I!) didn't either and confined themselves to things you are already involved in? If they could research alternate universes, that'd be awesome, I'm kind of fascinated with the concept In all seriousness though, I don't have a lot of causes or such I'm involved in, as far as donations Child's Play is a favorite organization of mine. 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 yet, the Goblin won't arrive until September - my husband gets jealous sometimes, lol!! And I have a puppy (well, a 60 lb 2 year old dog) who loves treats of the non-stuffed animal or rope variety (anything fabric or rope tends to come out in the same form it goes in, let's just leave it at that ) Do you like bags? If so, what type (rucksack, clutch, shopping bag) colour and would you like/need a new one? I'm not a huge bag person, so I don't need anything there. Unless it's a crazy rainbow diaper bag, lol. What's your favourite comfort food(snack or candy etc) and/or drink? Cookie Butter!!! And Little Debbie Zebra Cakes. 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? Ooooh, I wouldn't even know! I guess as long as it falls within the other questions, I'd be open to whatever What fandoms do you belong to? Stuff I fangirl over (dunno if it could be considered fandoms or not, lol) - Bioshock, Doctor Who, Sailor Moon, Brian Froud, Wil Wheaton, Voltaire, Murlocs from World of Warcraft, witch kitsch, rare and funky Disney stuffs. What cheers you up? Making art! And my puppy Who or where would you most want to haunt? Who would you least want to be haunted by? Errrrr...I dunno. I'd probably like to haunt any number of old abandoned buildings/islands/places - maybe like an old library or something. Least haunted by? Demons. Seriously, don't need anything like that messing with me!! What question do you hate to answer? I haven't had a problem with any questions yet! What is the best compliment you have/could receive? Being told I'm intelligent, or compliments on my art.

In the bottle this is FANTASTIC! Dandelions have been my favorite since I was a kid, and it smells EXACTLY like playing with the dandelions that were constantly taking over our yard - all flower and leaves and sap all at once. On me...it's not quite so awesome. It turns a bit too flowery sweet on me for my tastes. I will probably find creative ways to use it as a room/car scent, because I think it'd be wonderful as that! Or maybe I'll just huff my bottle every now and then

This one is quite a morpher on me! In the bottle it's freaking gorgeous. Orangey and cakey and just a bit of spice. At first, it turns right to perfumey orange on me. After about 30 minutes it starts to smell more like it did in the bottle, and turns just delicious. An hour later it's still lovely, but seems to have taken a little more of a 'strawberry shortcake' smell - plasticy doll hair. Not quite sure if it's a keeper yet, I think it will need a few more tries before I decide

Sugar Cookie 2012 I LOVE this. Wet, it's pure sugar cookie, right from the oven. It goes through a bit of an odd phase as it's drying, but after about 10 minutes it's just fantastic. Sugar cookies with clove and spice and vanilla extract. This is delicious!!

This is QUITE a morpher on me! In the bottle it's very spicy and bready and brown sugary, almost boozy. Immediately on me, it's all almond. It quickly settles down into spicy again, then turns into cinnamon and maple syrup. After about 30 minutes, it's almost all syrup, with just a hint of the spice. It's lovely in all its stages, though I wish it would stay in the cinnamon and maple syrup one for longer! Lasted a long time on me, I could still smell it fairly strongly the next morning.

On me this is very much almond, with a bit of rum, and a bit of something powdery. It's lovely!

This is very nice! Very earthy, with a bit of sweetness up close. It reminds me of all the new age and witchy stores my mom would always take us to when I was growing up, which makes me happy, and something about it is very calming. On me it has HUGE throw - from just a dot on the back of my hand! I really like this one, it's so lovely!

This is a GORGEOUS candle. I agree, VERY much clove, with just a bit of the patchouli. LOVE this, I need to order at least one backup because I know I'm going to use this a lot!

I recieved this about a month ago, at a time when I was dealing with a cold. I also tend to feel like I'm coming down with something every few days - but then hardly ever get actually sick, just enough to feel out of it for a day. When I got this, all I did was put it on my chakras before work, while vocalizing my intent - to get healthy from the cold I had, and to stop feeling like I was coming down with a cold every few days or so. I was healthy the NEXT DAY. Not recovering, but all out healthy. I kind of just brushed it off as coincidence, though I was still a bit impressed. However this morning I realized, a month later, I haven't even felt like I was coming down with anything. Which is FANTASTIC! I can only imagine what this could do if I used it in an actual ritual. I'm very impressed with this one. The smell is awful to me, but the effects are WELL worth it!

The scent on this is fabulous. Cinnamon, spicy, and a bit of orange. LOVE it! I was pretty amazed at how it worked though - I put just a bit on the backs of my hands, with the intent of, well, what it does - stop buying so much crap that I don't need all the time (also wanted to test the scent). A few days later, I was playing on the internet, and as I often do when I've been a bit drinky, started looking for crap to buy. I went to all my usual sites, even looked at my wishlists and stuff I'd bookmarked to buy later. I couldn't buy ANY of it. I just had no desire to actually buy anything. It was still fun to look at, but I just didn't want to buy it. So in my opinion? YES. This stuff WORKS. So glad I bought a bottle of it!

In the bottle - LOVELY. I can't get enough! Appley cheescakey deliciousness! On me - NOOOOOOOO! Something in it turns to...dusty wood. REALLY dusty wood, that I am amping like crazy. This one did NOT work on my skin at all, but the smell in the bottle is so wonderful that I'll probably use it as a room scent, or in a locket!

Love, love, love this! I wasn't thrilled with the scent at first, it was nice, but I felt it tended to turn powdery on me. The more I wear it however, the more I like it. I feel very calm when I wear this. As soon as I put it on. Calm and confident. It isn't overwhelming, it's just pleasant! I was lucky to be able to snag a decant of this first, and will be buying a bottle soon! EDIT 2014 - So my imp finally ran out, and I've recently purchased a bottle. The smell is very similar, but the bottle has a warm spiciness to it that the imp didn't have. The effect is also 'warmer' to me - I get more of a 'happy' instead of a 'calm', still confident, but also a 'wrapped up in a warm soft blanket' type feeling. If anything, I love it even more!

I bought this at Dragon*con, after Puddin' kept insisting - I admit I had skipped over it at first. In the bottle, it is straight up sweet and spicy pumpkin cake. SO good! On me, it changes a lot! Still very much sweet spicy pumpkin cake - but the spice gets heavier. After a while it starts to morph, and goes through several changes, all of them yummy! It starts to turn slightly mango-ish, and then after a while the chai starts to come through. I typically stay away from tea scents, I amp like crazy and it's not my favorite scent, but with this it WORKS. It's delicious, and I want to nom my arm (my husband really liked it, too, said it smelled just like fall)! Good throw, and a scent I will turn to a lot this fall! Thank you, Puddin', for insisting we all buy this one at the booth!

I was able to snag a bottle of Resurrected! I LOVE this one. To me, it smells exactly like a faire! It's VERY much funnel cake and salt on me, with just a few hints of cotton candy and caramel apple. It stays very close to my skin though, I will need to try it in a locket whenever I get my hands on one of those. For now however, I will just get strange looks as I continue to sniff my wrist!

I'd love to get into it. We live in FL, and our yard is pretty much in direct sun all the time. -Do you use or would like to try loose eyeshadow pigments? YES!

Same for the World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King expansion Collectors Edition. They are the only 2 I don't have. -Haunt update?

I adore Shiro (and actually just put in a big order with her, since I needed last month's color anyway!), but Oogie Boogie is the only color standing out to me.

I'm looking to get an iphone 4s, so maybe one of those covers that looks like a book for it. Those are so fun! -Cute/Spooky Halloween stuff? Very much into 'Witch Kitsch'. I also like skeletons and zombies. And I LOVE the classic monsters (Frankie, Dracula, Wolfie, Mummy...) - Frankie and Bride of Frankie being my favorites!

My husband would think it was cute if something World of Warcraft or League of Legends inspired was included for him, lol. -I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish? Enchanted Polish is a big favorite of mine. I love nail polish! Not anything SUPER chunky-glittery - I like semi-sparse glitter, or glass fleck. I also LOVE holographic polishes, and duochromes (I already have a 'Just Spotted the Lizard' dupe (Nicole's 'Mer-maid for Each Other') though). -Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. I ADORE real maple syrup! (and maple syrup candy - the kind that melts in your mouth...YUM!) -I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them? No thanks. How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? That could be fun!

I don't know...for some reason I get the sense there's no *feeling* behind them. I can't explain why, I've always felt like that about her work. Like she doesn't *really* believe in faeries *shrug* -Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? Nah -If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? I'm still very much a beginner and learning when it comes to that stuff...so maybe a good set of things for a beginner? -Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive.a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries?c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? I don't really want to be sung at or hugged or anything like that, and flowers would prolly make Rumble question (so please no flowers, eek!). Cupcakes I'm totally okay with thtough, lol! -What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade? I'm pretty much okay with gently used/homemade, unless it's beauty stuff. -And now a new question: I live near a Mast General Store. It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? I like vintagey toys! -Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? Not yet. I'd LOVE to start decorating big time for Halloween though! -Ninjas or Pirates? PIRATES! And Wenches ;D -I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant? I'd LOVE a room spray! -Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format? Ooooh how fun! Either format is fine -Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? Oooh! Hmmm...Vanilla Bean, Cinnamon Sugar, and Cake? Or Almond Extract? I don't know that I'm good at putting notes together. Vanilla Bean and Cinnamon Sugar for sure though - I want to smell like cinnamon frech toast! -Name one movie you keep meaning to buy, but just never get around to getting? Disney's Robin Hood on DVD. -Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? Not really. -OK, so those of you who said you wouldn't mind receiving (sneakily packaged!) beer or wine: Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)? I like sweet white wines, but I'm kind of just getting into wine, so I still have a LOT to learn about the different kinds! So I'm open to whatever As for beers, I tend to prefer lighter things - I like lagers, generally. I do like some porters - there's a vanilla porter that's really yummy. NO BLUEBERRY, I hate burping up blueberry, lol! Pumpkin is okay, if it's light. Spice might be fun. I don't like really sour or hoppy beers >_< -Are you a gamer (of any sort - video, casual, tabletop) and are there any games you want? Oh yes!! HUGE WoW girl(For the Horde!!).

Beans or ground? NO -Would a Starbucks gift card make you happy or do you prefer your local place? NO. Well, maybe for my husband, lol. HE likes coffee, I can't stand the stuff! -Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt? If you're into Disney, would you like something from the Happiest Place on Earth ? I love Disney! However I live right behind Disney World, so unless it's movies from my Amazon Wishlist (posted at the top of this blog), I can pretty much get anything I want from Disney. Though I sure wouldn't be opposed to anything Steampunk Disney!! -CUSTOM-Made Pottery?? yea or nay? coffee mugs, rustic or more elegant? a set of bowls? soap dish? bird feeder? something alltogether different? and lastly, good colors for glazes...? Meh, not really my thing. -Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above? Hot chocolate! -Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above? None of the above -Loose tea or tea bags?

I've still never seen the whole series, just the American dub O_o -You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they?

I have the bottle with the normal bpal label (I think, I didn't see any critters on it, anyway!). I was interested in it, because people were saying it was like Underpants, but without the woodsy scent to it (which makes Underpants a bit unwearable for me most of the time). They were right - I LOVE THIS. Only a touch floral on me, with lots of vanilla, and a bit of grapefruit. I feel like there's something else in there, too, but I can't figure it out. It goes through a bit of a plasticy stage as it dries, but then it's just heavenly. Vanilla and creamy and a touch fruity. SO fantastic! It stays very close to my skin after a few hours, but never goes away entirely.

It's funny seeing how different this is on everyone! I get floral vanilla with this. Sometimes I can get a hint of the leather, and I get NO smoke at all. This isn't light on me by any means - this is heavy and thick and a little goes a loooooong way! I do however think it's fabulous, and I'm so happy a friend gave me a bottle of it!!
