Tell me what kinds of coffee you like- whole bean? Grind? (If grind, what type?) Flavors? Light roast? Dark Roast?

Ground please! I don't have a grinder, so I just buy pre-ground. (I use an aeropress, which recommends using a fine grind or espresso grind, but I find it works just fine with a regular grind). Medium and dark roasts preferred. I like hazelnut and irish cream and pumpkin spice and all those nice and nutty/creamy/bakery-type flavors. I'm always up for trying something unusual too.

 

LMK if you want anything from Mexico because I'm definitely going across for my birthday on the 29th!

Ooh, have fun! I've never been to Mexico or anywhere near it, so I'm not even sure what sorts of things to consider. I do enjoy a good smokey spice though (chipotle, paprika) and I treat sauces/condiments like they're pokemon (gotta collect 'em all!), so something in that vein would be lovely.

 

What are your favourite colours? Are you happy with Valentine's themed colours? 

Historically, purple is my most favorite color, although in recent years I've been skewing towards blue-greens and soft/muted greens pretty hard. Blush tones have made their way into my life as well. I also love copper and rose gold. As for Valentine's colors, I love me a good rich red, like a deep cherry or wine or oxblood. And my preferred pinks are the paler peachy and blush toned ones. And I'll never be mad at a cool-toned neutral, like black, grey, or navy blue.

Jewelry?? Types? Sizes? Styles? Colors?

Certainly! I love dangly, fishhook-type earrings and clasps (no posts please) and I'd like to get back into wearing rings (more delicate ones, in sizes 10 and 10.5). No bracelets please, and only lightweight necklaces that are long. I gravitate towards stones that are in the milky/iridescent realm, like opals and moonstone, as well as blue-green stones and purple stones. Rose quartz can be nice too. Tear drop shapes are my fav. All metals are welcome, but I especially like gold, copper, and rose gold.

 

Would you be interested in anything from Ravenstone?

I've been eyeing a pair of earrings from them for a while, but don't get them for me! lol - I might buy something for my target, in which case I'll add the earrings into my cart when I do so. I'd be open to their candles or incense or bath/body products though!

 

Do you have any interest in journals, planners, habit trackers, etc.?

A blank/non-structured (or lightly structured) journal would be cool, and possibly a habit tracker too. Oh, and a wall calendar would be welcome!

 

Do you have a goodreads account or somewhere that tracks which books you've already read/own?

I sure do - goodreads

 

What notes of coffee do you like?

(answered in the other coffee question)

 

What kind of tea do you like? Type (loose leaf vs bag), and also flavours?

I use both loose leaf and bagged. I love chai and mint and green teas. Fall/winter flavors like apple, pumpkin, chestnut, and spice too. Lighter fruits like peach and tropical fruits, as well as herbals (especially lavender) are all good too!

 

Would you be interested in anything from https://snagtights.com/, and if so, what is your size?

Opaque or ribbed tights in darker solids, size F. Mock garters, fishnets, or leggings would be cool too.

 

Are you interested in secondhand oracle/tarot decks?

No to oracle cards, and tarot cards...maybe. I have a decent sized collection already, so only if it's an aesthetic you really think fits my vibe.

 

What category of makeup (and what shades) are you most interested in?

A muted greigey-pink matte blush would be amazing. Also, eye makeup in matte neutrals or lighter colored duochromes. I don't really need new lipsticks rn, but a berry/burgundy tinted balm would be nice. And nail polish is always welcome - check my "Nails" list on etsy for colors I like!

 

Are you interested in ritual oils (e.g. Twilight Alchemy Lab stuff)? If so, what kind of intentions/magic resonate with you right now?

Yes! Anything for focus/concentration, creativity, selling/business, as well as healing would be wonderful ❤️ 

 

Are you interested in incense? What formats?

I prefer the shorter stick incense and cones. And I'm not picky on scents.

 

Super specific, but pls note if you are a fan of Taylor Swift

Not really, sorry!

 

Sizing for tights?

I'm 5'4 and wear size 18 pants, so hopefully that should give you an answer on most size charts. If not, ask about the specific brand and I'll let you know!

 

Are you open to loose shadows/bullet lipsticks?

Loose shadows yes. And I'm pretty set on lipsticks, but it's not like I'd be mad about getting one.

 

If you said yes to hats or mittens, what sort of patterns or designs do you like? 

Mittens/gloves would be great. I'd wear them for warmth, so function over form when it comes to design. Thin but warm, and soft would be a plus!

 

Are you into citrus/ fruity scents?

Citrus - absolutely, especially lime. For fruity it depends. I wear a lot of cherry and enjoy a good wine note. I like apple and orange-family-fruits, but my skin usually eats them. I also like pear, champagne grape, pineapple, and mango. I can do strawberry, peach, plum, and fig, but I'm not crazy about them. Coconut seems to work when it's a supporting player but not the star.

 

Which florals are a yes/no? Death notes?

I love gardenia. I also like hyacinth, wisteria, lilac, jasmine, olive blossom, osmanthus, poppy, carnation, and tuberose. Violet is okay in small quantities and when balanced with sweeter notes (it can skew high-pitched otherwise). Orris and iris are death notes. Lotus is a no-go too. Rose and most other flowers are in the risky category. Generally the risky florals work best when sweetened up by other notes.

 

Are you into Skincare/haircare? Sheet masks/cleansers/hair masks? False lashes?

Yes to skincare. I like sheet masks, toners, cleansers, scrubs. I could use a good foot lotion or a lightweight face lotion with SPF. No hair masks or falsies, please.

 

Does honey work with your skin chem? Buttercream?

Honey is GREAT. Not sure about buttercream, but it sounds a little heavy for my skin needs. Maybe just for a foot lotion.

 

If you said "yes" to OCYL, which houses have you been dying to try? Which ones aren't compatible with your skin chem?

No other companies for perfume, but yes for all the other things. I'm game to try anything.

 

Do you have a personal motto or favorite quote that you would like incorporated into either some stationery/notecards, or done up in calligraphy?

Your time is now.
