Smells like marshmallow and pineapple that fades to marshmallow and mint over time.

8/29/20 Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)? I love paintbox and am always glad to get her hot process soaps and lotions. Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)? 8/30/20 Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me! I love trying new and odd flavors of candy. Stationary is good. I'm a sucker for cute things. I've fallen hopelessly in love with Fruit's Basket all over again watching the reboot of the anime. What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries. I don't actually know. I'm really bad at self care. Probably gardening stuff. I'm getting ready to out more bulbs in soon and I always want more. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinth...... anything that will grow in zone 5 b. I know they sell drill bits for planting bulbs and that would be amazing to have. 9/1/20 are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ? Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something. The lip balms all look awesome! 9/2/20 Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks I like the plague seeker and glimmer of light masks one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks? The silver cranes is gorgeous. 9/3/20 Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty I don't really wear much makeup 9/5/20 what are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups? I even make things with berries I grow in my garden. I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla. Interested? All of that sound delicious. Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round? For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself?? Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself? I love homemade things Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? I use a ton of their Vietnamese Cinnamon. Ginger and vanilla are pretty heavily used here too. 9/8/20 Art and artists - anyone dig any of this? https://www.studiodesade.com/ (They also do masks, see here.) If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn? And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors? what is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy? If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? Probably a lot of candy, tbh 9/9/20 would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders? 9/11/20 Is there anything you'd like from the UK? Yes Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from? How do you feel about tea? Preferences?

What about tea tools or cups? I adore tea. I drink more tea then any one person should drink. I tend to prefer black teas How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray? No incense of candles please, my allergies mean I very rarely or never use them. I do use atmos. Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too? I have so many being in the house that all like to be loved on. My kids are 10, 7, and 4. And I have 3 dogs and 3 cats that appreciate treats. 9/12/20 Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com ? I have a few of her prints and the notebooks and they are quality! The Cuddle fish one is super cute. What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you? I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s right now. Pics available upon request! After enjoying looking at the links several others have put in the questions, I decided to add some of my own favorite independent artists who I enjoy supporting - so, what do you think of the goodies from these people? And specific items you love? Enjoy! 1) https://www.catcoven.com/ 2) https://www.mineralgypsy.com 3) https://www.redbubble.com/people/thelatestkate/shop 4) https://www.marikapaz.com/shop/ 5) https://www.faunwood.com 6) https://www.shannatrumbly.com/ 7) https://fiddlersgreenzine.com 8 ) https://www.hedgespokenpress.com One of the things I do is make nifty things from sweaters that I cut up & upcycle into things like super warm mittens, arm warmers, striped arm warmers, cowls, teapot cozies, & French press cozies.

I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in? 9/13/20 Do you have a favorite art style/movement/artist? I really like art noveau Who is your fashion icon(s)? I don't have one What is your favorite mythological creature? Dragon is there anything you want from Lush?

How do you feel about the homemade fudge I sell in my etsy shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/HollysRainbow -particular preferences, flavors (consider I take special flavor requests all the time!)? How do you feel about keto or sugar-free, low carb baked goods or treats?? They are okay. I really don't like sugar alternatives though, like stevia. It tastes bitter rather than sweet to me. 9/14/20 Anything you'd like from Future Primitive: https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk Do you have an Etsy wishlist?

I've also started playing with homemade marshmallows and fruit candies. Any interest? Oh yes. 9/25/20 I happen to live near this amazing place.

Does anyone have a favorite horror movie that they love? Need a copy/DVD of? I don't actually like horror movies or books actually. Do you like smallish knitted stuff (hats, fingerless mittens, scarves, toys, etc. -- be specific!)? Yes, and I can always use mittens. I'm terrible at keeping pairs together. haha Do any of these knitted items appeal to you? Easy Fingerless Mittens Pfeilraupe Asymmetrical Scarf Odyssey Shawl Close to You scarf Rikke Slouch Hat Simple Yet Effective Cowl Knitted Pumpkins Little Bear Stuffy totally in love with the Odyssey Shawl and The knitted pumpkins! How do you feel about thrift store finds (assuming they're in good condition and have been thoroughly cleaned before shipping)? Totally fine. 9/20/19 I may have bought several full size Rituel de Fille makeup items in a frenzy over their whole vibe. If I tested something once or twice (and it can be sanitized), would you be interested? I never wear makeup, but on the occasion I do Rituel de Fille is the only company I wear so very yes. Are you interested in trying different skincare products from higher end, clean brands? Eh, my skin is pretty dodgy and a lot of things end of giving me hives. I thought I once found my dream facial moisturizer at Whole Foods, but by the time I came home my the hand I test it on was covered in hives. Any interest in anything from Torrid, noting their "fangirl" and Halloween collections are updated? Hufflepuff shirt in 3X would be amazing. As would Nightmare before Christmas stuff! What on the following list would you like to receive something related to (or have something donated to in your and Joni's honor?) · animal rescue · pie · dogs · bears · turtles · inappropriate candies (either in shape or in contents—ex., boozy candies, creatively shaped peanut brittle…) Any really, but I do have a special love for dogs and turtles. I'll be going to Seattle, London and Paris during this round- anything you'd love to have from any of these locations? Everything. Is there anything you would particularly like from Japan? Stationary, bento supplies, a particular snack, etc. The fall flavors for kitkats this year are Chestnut, Sweet Potato and Apple Pie. Yes. I love japanese things and I have a special love for their snacks, kitkats, whatever. 9/22/19 Thinking about really good natural food stores like Natural Grocers or Whole Foods, if you could have ANY bath and beauty or body care items, what would you love? Again, the hives thing. I'm pretty limited lately in what I can use. Also what kind of treats, snacks, foods, condiments, bulk items, teas, housewares from the same natural food stores would you love? Black teas, chocolate stuff, cheesy things. Interesting things. I frequently buy things that sound weird but good. I've only been to Whole Foods once so I don't really have good knowledge of what they have. Also, are there any particular sustainable kitchen or household items you would love to receive? Um, probably but I'm blanking at the moment. 9/23/19 Did anything catch your eye from the Liliths? impromptu goat yoga lazy daisy little atalanta Would you like anything from Lush? No 9/26/19 Is there anything kind of weird and niche about which you feel this way, fellow witchees? I've been going nuts with flower bulbs lately. So like you know how every place has like those 5 dollar bags of tulips or crocuses or whatever? I'd love them and find a place for them somewhere. Especially if they are interesting looking. The only thing is that I'm in zone 5b so they have to be cold hardy to that temp. Kickstarter (and similar): Any thoughts, witches? I haven't used it much, but what I have done has been great. 9/28/19 Do you have an Etsy/Goodreads/Amazon or anything else wishlist you’d like to share? Up above. 😃 And what’s your preferred wrist/necklace size? Does anything from Bird & Blend take your fancy? Basically any of the Black teas.

I have never been. 9/29/19 There's a special thing happening over at Rituel de Fille this weekend, where some gorgeous makeup items are coming back for just a couple of days. I'll be placing an order Sunday or Monday- anything that might strike your fancy, either from the special sale or from the site in general? (https://ritueldefille.com) Hydra, Andromeda, Cassopiea, Moon Pillar, Love in Madness lip How do you feel about tarot or oracle decks? Would you be interested in any (for artwork or for mystical purposes)? New or used? I always like tarot and oracle decks. I really love pretty cards. Would pigment samples from companies like M.A.C. or Notoriously Morbid tickle your fancy? If so, what colors catch you eye? No thanks! 9/30/19 do you have a favourite saying or quote? How do you feel about spicy foods, and where on the Scoville scale do you hit your limit? I like spicy probably to about Cayenne level of spicy. How do you feel about coloring books, especially those pertaining to a personal interest or fandom? I think they are fun. 10/1/19 A few questions have been asked about knitted items--are crocheted equivalents acceptable? (crocheted fingerless gloves, shawls, etc.) Any fiber issues? Totally fine. About the Weenies: please list what you've bought or are definitely purchasing for yourself *as well as* what you would like to possibly receive from someone else! I'm probably not going to buy myself anything until maybe right before they go down. Maybe. Money for bpals has been sparse this year. Apple Sugar Carotene Are you digging on my grave. Pumpkin Seed and Terebinth Pine hair gloss All the meaner things That 'ere wolf The Country gets Wilder as we Go Dead Leaves and Chai Dead Leaves Cacao, and Sandalwood Dead Leaves and Smores hair gloss Dear Witchee, are you at all boozy? Anywhere between hard cider to straight whisk(e)y? And any interest in the "unusual" stuff? (unusual as in non-mainstream, local craft ciders or meads, regional fruit wines, experiments from local distilleries, etc) I don't often drink but I enjoy trying unusual stuff when I do. 10/2/19 Nail Polish: Do you need or want some? If so, what colors and brands are you interested in? Not really. Does anyone else do nail wraps? No What about postcards? Postcards are always fun. Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)? How do you feel about salt? I don’t mean, like, salted nuts or potato chips. I mean straight-up salt, like alder-smoked finishing salt or Hana Flake sea salt. Sounds neat! 10/3/19 I am infamous for baking (shortbreads savory and sweet, poundcake, various cookies and bars), butter caramels (flavored or plain), and catnip. Are any of these relevant to you or your household? Yes, any of it! Do you like to cook and do you need/want any spices for such pursuits? I love to cook! I can always use more good vanilla/vanilla beans, aleppo pepper, whole spices would be nice to have. Would you wear any of these? Fern , Nuada, Manannan, Duleek Abbey or an infinity scarf or tube cowl tall enough for a hood (like this scarf or this cowl for shape example)? The first three are really neat! Do you have any utilitarian needs for everyday life? Things that would help or that you've been needing or wanting for work or whatever? Kitchen towels. Mine are getting pretty ragged and I never remember to get new ones, lol. What kind of vegan snacks do you like? And vegan chocolate...favorites?

Whimsical, a little rustic, a little elegant, a little you are a strange, strange lady. 10/6/19 So....we are about to process a metric f*ton of green tomato relish, which is basically bread and butter pickles but with sliced green cherry tomatoes. Is this relevant to any witchees? No thanks, I'm not fond of sweet pickles. How do you celebrate Halloween/Samhain? Do you dress up? Would you like something for your costume? And am I the only person left on the planet who wears socks? I usually take the kids trick or treating. I don't usually have a costume because by the time I buy costumes for 3 kids I feel broke and aggrivated. lol 10/7/19 Are you interested in anything from Art Of Tea or Adagio Teas? Black teas are always good. I drink roughly a million gallons for Adagio's Strawberry black tea so that is always a good bet. I make light-weight hairfalls, doll-style, using a variety of fun stuff, like ribbons, lace and soft batting. Would you be interested in receiving a set in the colors of your choosing? No thanks. And a quick question here--I'm going to this amazing looking event on Saturday--does my witchee see anything they might be interested in? https://www.facebook.com/events/903999316607440/ (the Oddities Market) Too late for this one! 10/8/19 How do you feel about enamel pins? Love them, hate them, slightly interested, totally indifferent? I think they are fun.

Brian: “Our first morning in Salzburg, I wake up to the sound of something thudding against the window. I look outside, and Lilith is out in the snow throwing snowballs at our door. So, I put on all my snow gear – mittens, hat, boots, overcoat, the whole pile of stuff – as fast as I can, and I go outside and I realize this kid is in her just in her long johns and her mom’s snow boots, standing in the snow laughing. Beth comes out yelling for her to put her snow clothes on and to get out of Beth’s boots because she was getting snow in them. She gets changed, and we run around snowball fighting. “There’s another story – an inside joke – that if my feet get cold wherever we are, we have to go home. But I’ll save that for another time.” Lilith: “You can’t tell in the picture, but I’m in my jammies here under my coat and stuff. Me and Unkie had a snowball fight. We tried to build a snowman, but it very much failed. Unkie got me a lot with the snow, but I got him back!” A scent the color of the sun rising over Lake Fuschl: a joyful lemon ginger cologne with a touch of bay leaf and white tea.  This is so bright and refreshing! It really feels like watching my girls pelt each other with snowballs and way to fucking early to be up o'clock in the morning. Bottled youthful energy. It's going to be fabulous to wear in the summer.

A lesser-known work of art in vibrant 21st century polychrome: vanilla cream, coconut, fossilized amber, and white sandalwood.  This is absolutely stunning. It reminds me a bit of Obatala, but *fancy*. I wouldn't call this a foodie perfume at all. It's classy and mature.

What global warming? Slivers of ice to cool things down, lavender and hops flower to soothe the nerves. Proceeds benefit getting the goddamn AC fixed in the front parlor at BPAL so Teddy and Claire dont sweat to death and we dont roast people alive at Lunacy. Literally everything I never knew I needed in a hot weather perfume. Cold, minty ice, herbal lavender that doesn't go to soap, and a gentle hoppiness. I love it and I'm going to need backups.

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” Go and do likewise: golden amber and saffron, white sandalwood, and clove. This is gorgeous, warm and spicy, the clove and amber take center stage here. There's something in there that reminds me of Dr. Pepper without it actually smelling like Dr. Pepper, if that makes any sense. It's long lasting and just so wonderful.

I can see why this is meant to be a layering scent. It feels unfinished on its own. It's musky and a bit sharper than I wanted it to be. As with most people, I think some age and some experimentation will be good for this one.

I love this! It's the first blueberry bpal that hasn't gone sour on my skin! High five, Lady Lilith!

Sneezy. Whatever makes me sneeze in Snow White, is present in this too. I'm glad I got to try it, it's pretty, but my allergies can't stand it.

This is so good. On my skin both pumpkin and blueberry can go wonky on my skin, but not so with it in my hair! Everyone who smelled it yesterday loved it.

This is Dead Leaves and...... dead leaves to my nose. I don't smell any marshmallow, burnt or not. The leaf note is lovely, but I was really hoping for the burnt marshmallow to shine.

Embracing the brightest fire burning in the canopy of night, Canis Major hunts Lepis eternally as he dances with galactic clusters of his sister stars. Star-speckled brown fur and hay. This smells so good. So freaking good. Minty, musky, super wearable. I love it. Oudh? I think that's oudh, and some pine maybe? There's vanilla in there. I can smell it really well on the dry down. Though some of that might be coming from my hair. I don't know there's a lot going on here, but it comes together to perfection.

Swirled with caramel and topped with sour cream frosting. A pumpkin I can wear! This is so delicious and not a drop of spices to make it smell like a candle. eta: There is a little bit of something that smells a little spicy as it dries down, but it doesn't really smell like cinnamon. Anyway, I decided to take one for the team and slathered it on my inner elbows directly after a bath. No reaction! I get massive painful welts from cinnamon, especially when I'm fresh from the shower, so I don't think this is cinnamon I'm detecting. I have no idea what it is though.

As far as mint, I really love Anesthesia from the Gaiman section, A scent that slips through the cracks: peppermint, lavender, bergamot, and mandrake. It's gentle and minty and really calming.
