GoodReads Profile

 

 

1. I wonder what a potential witchee would think about being bombarded with PUMPKINS in various formats. Because my current obsession just may last long enough to be of use in spoiling.....but I know wouldn't be appreciated by everyone. Would you appreciate it?!?

I'm over punkin food/sweet stuffs, but decor is a-okay with me.

 

2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread).

For me I will pass, but thank you.

 

3. Trading Post wants?

A coffee mug! I like the sweet foodie or fresh nature smells for atmo, but I'm still pretty new to the TP and I only have 1 gloss right now (silkybat - OMGGG) but right now I don't have long hair so I don't get the smells like I used to.

 

4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like.

I will pass on Avon, Mary kay, Scentsy, ect. Brands I stay away from, the only one that comes to mind is, Too Faced.

 

5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences?

Coffee coffee CoffEE!!!! I'm a purist, plain beans with no added flavor. I tend to use just a minimal amount of raw sugar and if absolutely necessary a little cream and lately i've been into cold brew coffee & I've been dying to get a nice brew system like a Toddy or something similar, right now i'm using a makeshift system with a mason jar and a busted coffee maker.

There are only two teas that I have really fallen in love with (not that I don't like tea but I'm very picky and I don't like to taste grass)The Spice and Tea Exchange Coconut Oolong Tea & the Tazo Wild Sweet Orange. I am open to other tea, but I don't like my tea to taste like grass, it doesn't need to taste like fruit but not grass lol

 

6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy?

I love to cook but my roommates leaving the kitchen in a horrible state has left me in a situation to avoid cooking for the last few months. Moving out soon though and I'll be starting with nothing so anything helps. I would like to put bright colors in my kitchen and I like silicone cook stuffs/measuring cups/spoons

 

7. How do people feel about creative endeavors? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems?

I love being creative! I love when people are creative and make things for me. I have been recently bitten by the maker bug and I know I will be putting thing together for my witchee. I added a whole lot of art stuffs to my amazon wishlist, and really it was mostly seeing shiny fun things and saying sure i would like to play with that, and that and that. I have no real needs, just a desire to try new things out, and to see new processes.

 

8. What culture or country (doesnt have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you?

There are a few places I have a gut feeling that if I ever visited, I would never want to come back. Boston is one, I think it's because it's a seaside town & a strong Irish heart to the city. The other is Ireland. I have always been driven to find my mother's family and they come from Cork. I have an innate draw to the green and fae and druids. I have always wanted to know more.

 

9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoon, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)?

29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like?

My top three Disney characters are: Capt. Hook, Ariel, Eeyore. I love Disney stuff, I would never complain about that.

Cute stuff is cute. I like odd things, but I also like practical odd things. Like weird ice cube molds or fun kitchen things that look like other things.

 

32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!"

I honestly don't have any needs, Coffee or sweets are always good. Or something to put up/or use in my new place would be awesome.

Classy as fuck, and I would love if my job I could smoke and drink in the afternoon. It would be amazing! Another time period that calls out to me in Shakespeare's time, I would totally fit in and then I would find shakespeare and prolly be one of this groupies. I'd hit it

I forgot how much I dig this store!

64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions.

65. Sock Dreams, yay or nay?

yay, but I'm a big lady so most of those things don't fit right. I have a pair of thigh high striped socks from last year and I don't get to wear them often. But they are very fun! Iheartcolors has a great array of plus size fishnet/tights/leggings in like 100 colors!

The only incense I burn is Nag Champa. It just has a really good smell, as well as memories tied to it. I would always burn a stick before any performances, or before any big dates/concerts. It just helped to center and calm my nerves. Maybe that is what I'm missing in my life right now, to just relax *note to self* grab some next time your at the store lol

They look SO cute, but I don't know what I would do with them. I would love to eat them but I don't know, they're just so pretty so, and i'm sure eventually all but one would be devoured. something nice to have in my desk in case of emergency.

 

85. Skin care routine? Fave cleanser? Toner? Moisturizer? What about body lotions? Any particular brand or scent? Lip balms? Yay or nay?
