This Is Halloween In Thread Q&As
What are some OCYL brands you've been wanting to dabble in? Posie, Firebird Bath and Body, Black Baccara, Morari (on etsy), NAVA Local honey? Infused/flavored honey? Local infused/flavored honey with Southwest notes (jalapeno, other pepper, mesquite, acacia)? My in-laws are beekeepers, so I have jars and jars. Please no more 😅 I am working on making bath bombs. Would you be willing to try my creations? How about wax tarts? What type of scents do you favor? While I love bath bombs, I don't have a bathtub I am happy to take wax melts though. For home smells, I like spicy scents (cinnamon, apple pie spice, masala chai) and I like clean linen scents. I don't care for cookie/cake scents or florals.
What kinds of home smell good things do you like? (I.e. incense, candles, wax melts, felt scent balls, essential oils, linen spray) Candles, wax melts, linen spray My question for the fellow pumpkins would you like anything from the bath and bodyworks Halloween line? No thank you Do you have any interest in spooky squishmallows? No thank you
And would you enjoy spooky stationary? Not loose stationary paper, but I'm ok with notebooks
I know a lot of us are witchy and have deeply held beliefs about the materials we use as part of our practice. If you're one of those individuals, are there certain herbs, crystals, etc that you do not want to receive? This isn't really about materials, but please don't send anything sugar skull related When you have a distinct preference for one holiday over another, What are some cross over items that actually work for both? Bats; Witchy/Halloween plant stakes (like this or this. Acrylic/plastic cake toppers work too); horror-film related things-- art, stickers SVG files, scents that you think smell like a particular horror film/heroin/villainess (Click on my BPAL spreadsheet and go to the mood board section to get an idea of what I mean by this). I love Rosemary's Baby, Midsommar, Jennifer's Body, Buffy, The Craft, VVitch/the witch, Netflix series: The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass. Here are some ideas. Does anything from JiJi Knight spark your interest? https://jijiknight.com/ No thank you Any spooky/weenie DVD's you're missing and would like in your collection? Not right now Shampoo and/or conditioner bars and if so, for what type of hair (dry, fine, oily, curly, normal)? No thank you The Ectogasm Halloween Collection is live. Does anything interest you? https://www.ectogasm.net/collections/halloween Those are so cute! I like "pick your poison", "I am not responsible for amy spirits I summon", and "Spoilers". And, in general, I really like pins and patches On a scale from Paprika Is a Heatwave to Let Me Eat a Peck of Pickled Ghost Chiles, how spicy is too spicy, and how spicy is just right? Jalapeno is my limit I make lightweight hairfalls- would you be interested in some? Either to incorporate into a costume or just for your own year-round use? If so, name your colors and preferred length, and if you have any fiber allergies you want me to take note of! They look pretty awesome, but they're just not my thing If I were to make you a set of arm warmers/ fingerless mitts, what color(s) & style would you like? Oooh, I'd love this! I'd like them short (it's a little too warm here for longer lengths), solid, and color wise, so long as they aren't pastels or yellow, I'll be a happy camper. Homemade canned and baked and concocted goodies? Any aversions? So long as it's not something I'm allergic to BUT I don't like anything coffee flavored. If I could make you some of my fudge, what would you prefer? No fudge, please To answer my own question: Are you open to trying different indie perfume houses if I find a scent that I think you'd enjoy? Yes, but please no Alkemia, as I have a really low hit rate with that house (turns soapy on my skin 50/50) I love making stickers!! If I could design you some stickers, what would you love to have? It could be halloween themed or not! My art style is a bit simplistic, cartoony, and cutesy, I usually draw fairies but last year I did a swap on reddit and made someone a bunch of halloween dog stickers lol. (Sidenote: They probably won't be waterproof, but they're glossy vinyl!) Ooooh, this sounds fun! Maybe something based on my dogs (here they are) or anything cutesy DnD related I've got a bunch of small round labels perfect for bpal 5ml label lid art! Name your top 5-10 scents that you'd love to have lid art made for! Just as a fun little extra in your package if desired (Could also work for other companies with lids just like the BPAL bottles) I'm about to show my whole newbie ass, but I don't really have any 5ml bottles Is there something you collect that perhaps you'd enjoy a Disney version of (tea, socks, enamel pins, plushies etc etc etc)???

It's like tiger balm or icy hot, but with herbs, beeswax, cayenne or ghost pepper, menthol, wintergreen. cbd version or no? Hell yeah, that sounds awesome!

You can use them in teas or cocktails (and desserts). How do you feel about a Hibiscus simple syrup? That sounds really nice! Format for tea? e.g. teabag vs loose I prefer loose tea Do you like spooky themed tights? If so, what are your measurements?

Is there anything in particular you are looking for if you'd want some? What about ribbon remnants? Colors/textures? I love ribbon! I like thin ribbons (for modifying bra straps, so around that width), which makes good use for remnants. I usually use grosgrain for this. BUT I also really like wrapping gifts with bows a little too much, so I'll happily take thicker ribbons too. And I also like velvet and flat lace ribbons to use for bookmarks. Would you be interested in any skincare items? Anything you would not want? Oooh, I'm always interested in skincare, BUT please no peels or physical exfoliants (scrubs, etc).
