Thoughts before testing: After the stunning beauty of Our Lady of Pain's lavender last spring, I've been on the lookout for more lavender heavy blends. But I also love the rest of the notes listed here, so I have high hopes for this one! Wet: Beautiful sweet rich lavender with a strong dollop of beautiful, sweet vanilla. Stunning. Dry down: That amazing lavender is still going strong, and the honey starts making an appearance. It's a creamy, vanilla-drenched honey. This is really incredibly pretty. Dry: After several hours, the lavender eventually bows out and I'm left with a vanilla/honey musk that's really pretty. Final thoughts: I was hoping for a little more Dorian, but I'm in no way disappointed. This is so pretty, and I can't wait to see how it ages! Verdict: Keeping the bottle.

Thoughts before testing: Lunacies almost never work on me, but I just had to try this one! I love rose and I love the Lab's leaf note, so I'm hoping for a win here! Wet: Juicy deep roses and a lot of fresh leaves. This honestly smells exactly like my mother's rosebushes' final bloom. Beautiful! Dry down: The rose starts to turn slightly powdery, but it's just barely. The leaves are still beautiful and crisp. Dry: The leaves fade away and I'm left with a beautiful rose note. Final thoughts: I really like this, but I have other rose blends I love more (namely Peacock Queen). If you're a rose freak, this is for you. Verdict: Keeping for now.

Thoughts before testing: Cedar almost never works for me, and white musk is extremely hit or miss. But I love sage and leather, and vanilla and carnation are two of my forever win notes. Let's see where this goes! Wet: Woody sage with a strong backbone of beautifully soft leather. This smells amazing. The leather is fantastic and not harsh at all. Dry down: The cedar backs off, and the carnation takes it's place, making the sage beautifully spicy. The leather is still the star of the show and is probably the best leather I've ever smelled. Dry: This is a fantastically smooth, soft leather. After about an hour and a half, I'm left with just a slightly spiced leather with just the barest hint of a breathy white musk. Final thoughts: This is amazing. I'm just sad it took me so long to try this! It doesn't last very long (after 4 hours I needed to reapply) but I don't mind. If you're a fan of leather at all, this needs to be on your to-try list. Verdict: Bottle purchase!

Thoughts before testing: I see a lot of love for black coconut mentioned here on the forums, but I've never sniffed anything with it before so I'm excited to try Goblin. Benzoin always reads as a strong vanilla on my skin, so I'm curious to see how this stacks up to Banshee Beat (my forever love). Wet: Strong sweet patchouli. It's slightly dirty and rooty, but mostly sweet and smooth. The benzoin backing is really lovely and is reading (as per usual) as strong vanilla to my nose. Dry down: The coconut comes through about 15 minutes into the dry down. I've never smelled black coconut before, and it is FABULOUS. It's not a tropical-drink coconut, it's sexy and hippie-ish. The patch and benzoin are reminding me of a less-sweet Banshee Beat. Dry: The coconut fades after about an hour, leaving behind the vanilla-sweetness of the benzoin and smooth pretty patch. Beautiful. Final thoughts: This is very reminiscent of Banshee Beat on my skin, with the lovely addition of the fabulous black coconut. But since the coconut doesn't stick around for the whole time (Goblin lasted nearly 6 hours), I don't know that this is different enough to warrant having both in my collection. I think I need to test this against BB to see which one I like best. Verdict: This needs a death match with Banshee Beat! Verdict to follow

Thoughts before testing: Every note listed here works really well on my skin, so I have high hopes for a big GC win today! Wet: Blech This is sickly sweet candied peach on my skin. It turned my stomach and I nearly washed it off! Dry down: After a horrific wet stage, the peach blossom comes shining through and saves me from having to scrub this off. This is a really pretty and realistic peach blossom (I live in peach country and peach blossom is one of my favorite smells of springtime) and it's just lovely. Dry: This completely vanishes from my skin after half an hour. I can't smell it, no one around me can smell it. It's bizarre. Final thoughts: Between the vanishing act and the horrendous wet stage, Tamora is definitely not a keeper. Verdict: Off to the sales!

Thoughts before testing: Everything here is right up my alley. The only potential problem could be the amber, which very often turns to pure powder on my skin. Wet: Spicy sandalwood and amber with just a hint of pretty floral. Very reminiscent of House of Unquenchable Fire atmo. I get the same glittering amber that I adore in the atmo spray and the same overall expensive feeling. Dry down: Spicy tiare on a bed of smooth sandalwood. Still reminding me of HoUF, still beautiful. Dry: About an hour in, this takes a sharp turn into powder territory and stays that way for hours. Damn. Final thoughts: I'm disappointed but not too much. Until the powder stage it's nearly a dead ringer for House of Unquenchable Fire, which I love to pieces. So at least I still have that! Verdict: Off to the sales!

Thoughts before testing: I've never tried a perfume with watermelon before, so when an imp of this came my way I had to try it! Wet: Watermelon bubble gum, the super sugary stuff that makes your teeth ache. Dry down: What a morpher! The sweet pea comes to the fore and is grounded by the sandalwood and pale woods, leaving only a breath of the watermelon. This is really nice. I love sweet pea, and the woods are keeping it from being too sweet. It's a pretty woodsy floral that reminds me of late spring mornings. Dry: The lilac musk starts to edge out the sweet pea around two hours in, and the woods become slightly more dominant. It winds up being a musky woodsy scent with a hint of floral on my skin. This is quite beautiful and lasts for hours. Final thoughts: I'm so glad I tested this. It's very different from anything I currently have and it's just beautiful. I'm not sure if it's worthy of being upgraded to a bottle however. I love Aeval for my sweet pea needs, so I'll need to try this one a few more times before committing to a bottle. Verdict: Keeping the imp, possible bottle.

Thoughts before testing: I love red musk, but it doesn't always love me. It usually amps to the exclusion of all other notes (Lips Full of Lust and Laughter and Le Lethe being the only two exceptions), but rose and amber are lovely on my skin. I'm interested to see what this does! Wet: Pretty, fresh roses mixed with amber. No red musk at this stage. Dry down: And the red musk comes in and stomps all over everything. No more roses, no more amber. The red musk here is really pretty. It's not as full bodied as what I get in Le Lethe or as creamy as LFoLaL, but pretty nonetheless. Dry: After about two hours, the red musk softens a little and allows the amber to peek through just a tad. It remains a pretty, sensual musk and amber combination for hours. Final thoughts: This is pretty but I like the red musk in LFoLaL and Le Lethe more. Verdict: Keeping the imp, but not upgrading to a bottle.

When I read the Dragon Con exclusive list, this was the one I had to have. The hair glosses do fabulous things to my hair and being able to smell like peachy incensey goodness is right up my alley! I've been using this hair gloss exclusively for the past two weeks because it's just that good. I get no frankincense but a lot of fabulous light champaca (definitely not head shop-y) and the most fabulous sweet peach. The peach sweetens up the champaca and is truly a thing of beauty. This gloss also lasts a ridiculously long time in my hair. I have incredibly thick hair that's nearly to my waist and the gloss hangs around all day. When I wash my hair, it blooms in the steam of the shower and perfumes the whole bathroom (my sister walked in after I was finished and went "Woah, what are you using and can I have some?!"). And I can even still smell the gloss after I've washed my hair. Long story short: if you have the opportunity to pick up a bottle, do it. This stuff is divine.

Thoughts before testing: I don't believe I've ever smelled chrysanthemum or marigold in a perfume before, but everything else here are good notes for me. I'm excited to see what this smells like! Wet: Spicy sweet floral! I can't really pick anything out, but it's beautiful. Dry down: It does a pretty dramatic morph into a fabulously smoky amber and cinnamon incense that has a strong dash of vanilla and just a hint of floral. It's rich and smoky and lovely. Dry: This stays true to the amber incense but loses a little of the cinnamon after several hours. Final thoughts: This is lovely and beautiful but I'm trying to be pickier with what gets to stay in my BPAL box. If the box was bigger, it would be a keeper but I have so many floral-incense blends and this one doesn't wow me enough to get a place. Verdict: Passing.

Thoughts before testing: I absolutely adored the Our Lady of Pain update. I waffled on getting a bottle of this because red musk nearly always amps to the exclusion of other notes, but when my mother offered me her bottle for testing I just had to try it! Wet: It smells like powdered grape Kool Aid Very distinctive, but definitely not what I was hoping for! Thankfully after five or so minutes, it smooths out into one of the prettiest red musks I've ever smelled. Dry down: The honey keeps the red musk from amping on me like it usually does and turns it slightly creamy. It's almost too sweet for me. Maybe not though because I keep lifting my hand to my nose, lol! The honey is really pretty, and unique. Dry: Beautiful creamy sweet musk. So pretty! Final thoughts: Red musk can be problematic for me, but this is to die for beautiful. I have one other red musk heavy blend in my arsenal (the incomparable Le Lethe) but this is so different that I need a bottle. I'm a little disappointed in the lack of tangerine or mint, but the musk is so pretty I can't mind too much! Verdict: Hunting for a bottle!

Thoughts before testing: Nearly everything listed here does good things on my skin, so I'm excited to try this one out! Wet: A strong blast of patchouli and musk (maybe black? It doesn't smell the way red usually smells on me) to the exclusion of everything else. Dry down: Whoa. Crowley turned into pure MAN on my skin. Seriously. This is an exact replica of how my last boyfriend smells. It's lovely and sexy (a lot of musk, mahogany, patchouli and leather) but I don't know if I can pull this off. Dry: If I close my eyes, I would swear I had my nose pressed against Jamie's neck. He always smelled magnificent and drop dead sexy. This is one of the sexiest perfumes I've ever smelled, but the scent association just kills it for me. Final thoughts: To die for, but too masculine for this feminine girly-girl. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be mooning over photos of old boyfriends. Verdict: Off to the sales!

Thoughts before testing: I love the released version of Chimera, and after reading the reviews here I had to track a bottle down! Wet: Strong, woody note that almost smells like patchouli (but unlike any patch I've ever smelled). Dry down: Ah, there's the sweetness. The woody note has calmed down considerably, and it smells just like a sweeter, creamier Snake Oil on me. Dry: This dries to Snake Oil with a heavy dollop of cream and sugar. LOVE. Final thoughts: This is just beautiful! Snake Oil has been in my top ten perfumes (regardless of company) since I tried it last summer, and this is a perfect variation for me. I love the extra sweetness and creaminess, plus it lasts for hours on my skin. Verdict: Hoarding

Thoughts before testing: I absolutely adore BPAL's vanilla blends, so testing this was a no brainer! Wet: The vanilla is sweet but also strangely astringent? It stung my nose when I sniffed it. Dry down: Beautiful vanilla-musk scent. This smells kind of like Antique Lace with an extra shot of something. Maybe amber? I see sassafrass listed in other reviews, but I don't have a lot of experience with it. It could be. Sweet but definitely not foody. Dry: This takes an extreme turn into powder territory after a few hours. It's still a soft vanilla musk, but it's not as full-bodied. It definitely feels faded to me at this point. Final thoughts: The dry down was stunning, but the wet and dry phases make this a fail for me. Verdict: Not for me.

Thoughts before testing: After so many glowing reviews, how could I turn down a chance to test this? Wet: Honey! There's a slightly greenish feel to the honey, but it's lovely. It's not too rich or too sweet. Dry down: The green note leaves entirely and honey becomes creamy and full-bodied with a hint of beeswax or maybe vanilla underneath. Lovely! Dry: The beeswax note becomes more prominent, and the honey smooths out even more. This is a really bright, pretty scent that feels like The Lights of Men's Lives more bubbly cousin. Final thoughts: The combination of honey and beeswax is one of my favorites, but I'm not sure that I need both this and The Lights of Men's Lives. This is brighter and not as smoky as TLoML, but I'm not sure which I prefer. For me personally, they're too similar to keep both. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful blend that lasted for hours on my skin and I'm so happy to have been able to try it! Verdict: Death matching with The Lights of Men's Lives!

Thoughts before testing: Lunacies rarely work on me (the notable exception being Honey Moon 2013) but I've seen such good things about Joyful Moon that I just had to try it. Wet: Beautiful! Wet, this is mostly a really lovely white musk that somehow manages to not go to the Baby Wipes of Doom note that my skin seems to love. It's slightly sweet and I can detect a hint of some lovely soft florals in the background. Dry down: The rose comes more to the forefront and is fresh and almost juicy. It's backed by the same lovely musk that's been softened by the vanilla. Very pretty. Dry: The final stage of this is a beautiful floral-vanilla-musk combination. The rose softens and becomes nearly indistinguishable from the rest of the florals and blends into the musk beautifully. At the very tail end (close to 5 hours), it goes slightly powdery but not in an unpleasant way. Final thoughts: I can see why this is so sought after! Not only is this a Lunacy that worked on my finicky skin, it worked beautifully and lasted for hours. It's soft and feminine and just lovely. I would love to see a re-release of this moon! Verdict: Hunting for more.

Thoughts before testing: I never thought I'd get to even sniff this, let alone test it! I'm a vanilla fiend and a lover of florals, so this (unfortunately) should be a big win on my skin. Wet: Ah, this is a stunning musky vanilla. Maybe just a hint of florals? Mostly just that killer vanilla. Dry down: It turns slightly sweeter, but it's still gorgeous. Musky, sweet vanilla with soft florals. Beautiful! Dry: The musk is a little stronger, and it's less sweet now. The florals are slowly receding. This is the best vanilla I've ever smelled. Final thoughts: This is heartbreakingly beautiful. This makes me feel beautiful and lady-like, and I am gutted that it's not available. Verdict: Hoarding Antique Lace is one of my all time favorite perfumes (regardless of company); it was my wedding day perfume, what I wore to my master's graduation ceremony, to my first day of work, and any time I need to feel like my best self. So when I saw that the Lab was able to bring it back I immediately set alarms on my phone and went into Serious Stalk Mode. I was able to snag a bottle for myself (as well as bottles for my lovely mother and sister) and so here's the review for the 2017 version of Antique Lace: To my nose, it smells exactly the same. Even doing an arm by arm comparison of the old and new, I can't tell them apart. The best vanilla I've ever smelled, slightly floral, slightly musky. LOVE

Thoughts before testing: I love magnolia and any blend with it listed as a note is an instant try for me. I've been searching for Yvaine since I joined the forum and I'm so glad to be able to test it today! Wet: Slightly sharp floral lavender that's just slightly herbal. Dry down: The lavender is turning more herbal than I would like, and the magnolia is staying well in the background. Dry: The lavender is decidedly herbal and I can only get a hint of the magnolia. Final thoughts: I'm disappointed I was hoping for a magnolia-heavy blend with a hint of floral lavender. It's very pretty, but not what I was hoping for. Although really, it's probably a good thing since this is one BPALicorn I don't have to chase after Verdict: Not for me!

Thoughts before testing: I squealed when I read the notes for Summer Lace. I've never smelled green cognac before, and sometimes apple blossom can get a little shampoo-y, but everything else here is right up my alley. Autumn Lace is one of my top ten BPALs and Black Lace would be on that list if I had enough to wear regularly, so I've got high hopes for this addition to the Lace family! Wet: Bright fizzy floral-citrus with the creamy tobacco and boozy Lace base. Reading that, it sounds like it would be awful but it's so freaking pretty. Dry down: The citrus and florals burn off and leave a strong sweet tobacco (but definitely not caramelized) mixed with a creamy and slightly boozy base with just a hint of smoky opium. I'm not getting any vanilla exactly, but I'm guessing that it's contributing to the overall creaminess of the blend. This is gorgeous. Dry: It dries down into a beautiful blend of tobacco, cognac, and creamy vanilla. So pretty! Final thoughts: This is just beautiful. After the first half hour or so, it reminds me of a much lighter and incense-less Autumn Lace. Autumn Lace is pure sex on my skin and is fairly heavy with incredible throw, so I'm incredibly happy to have something that's reminiscent of Autumn Lace but is more work appropriate. This lasts an insanely long time (nearly 10 hours) but has only a moderate throw. Pure love. Verdict: Hoarding

Thoughts before testing: Cedar is usually a note of death for me, but everything else looks so good! I'm hoping that the other notes will keep the cedar from taking over. Wet: Oof. Black musk single note? I can't detect anything else but the black musk. It's a lovely black musk but still. Dry down: Still strong on the black musk, but I can detect a smattering of patchouli. This is hinting at beautiful things, but not delivering Dry: The hint of patchouli is gone after about an hour and the black musk takes over again. Final thoughts: This was bizarre. I thought my nose was going crazy and that maybe Black Taffeta falls into an olfactory blind spot, but I had three other people smell me and all three confirmed that all they could smell was black musk. Don't get me wrong: it's a beautiful black musk, but I was hoping for some of the other notes to come through. It might be a hormonal thing? I'm hoping. I'll hang onto the bottle and retest in a few months. Verdict: Needs to age/be retested.

Hi Witch! I know Canadian chips can be different than others, how does "dill pickle" or "ketchup" sound? Both sound fabulous, actually! If you were getting a custom Haus of Gloi blend, what four notes would you choose? Summer notes listed here and you can click through to the whole list from there. http://www.hausofglo...er-single-notes Beeswax, honey, gardenia, and and white amber! Do you like Kickstarter? Are there any projects up that you really like? Meh. I'm not crazy about Kickstarter. 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. This for my Macbook. This because it's just beautiful. This because I love pepper. This because I love lotuses and need jewelry holders desperately. And this because I love pomegranates. Festival this week -- includes an "encampment" and an art faire. any interest in trinkety things from the encampment or cards/prints from local artists. Sure! How do you feel about glitter? does loose glitter make your skin crawl or would you bathe in it? Please no glitter Do you want/need/like/collect journals? If so, do you prefer lined or unlined? I can always used lined journals! Does the idea of wearing a plant as jewelery give you the warm fuzzies or the heebie jeebies? This is definitely not something I would be into Gourmet popcorn, yes/no? What do you like: glazed, savory, candied? Nuts or not? Any flavors you wouldn't like (like Bacon CHeeseburger, Pizza, Watermelon, Root Beer Float, Hot Chili Dark Chocolate)? Or if any of those sounded interesting, how weird is weird enough? I love popcorn, but I don't think I'm adventurous enough to have bacon cheeseburger popcorn. Question: 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. Sure! I'd love that.

Hi Witch Dear! Thank you so so so much for the socks! I love them! I live near the Brown and Haley outlet - makers of Almond Roca and Mountain Bars - would you want anything from the outlet? For nut-haters, they have nutless Roca For the no-sugar folks they have sugar-free as well. No sweets for me, thank you! I also have an Oberto jerky outlet local to me - any wants there? But I will gladly be taking all the jerky (beef, pork, turkey, whatever kind you have!) How do you feel about home-canned goods? Love em! Please send them my way Do you like BPTP clothing? Yes! My lovely mother bought me the Honey Moon baby doll shirt and I love it! Baby-doll T's XXL Regular T's XL yoga pants XL; a pair of these in the belladonna has been on my wish list forever. Also, what is your favorite lunacy (or non-lunacy) T-shirt that you don't already own? Or other clothes from BPTP? I love the Cold Moon 2010 shirt and the Pink Moon 2012 shirt. What else do you love from the Trading Post site, and need to have? All the things Seriously, I love the Post. I'd like to try The Twilight Where Virtues are Vices candle, the Erebos and The Queen's Croquet Ground atmo sprays in goblin squirt form. I've also been meaning to replace my nearly empty bottles of Gertrude Dix and Down the Rabbit Hole atmo sprays. Is there a particular movie genre that you like (Fantasy? Drama? Romantic Comedy? Musicals? TV-Series, etc), and what format would you prefer: DVD, Blu-Ray, or something in the cloud (like Amazon, iTunes, Flixster, etc)? I love fantasy, musicals, and dramas. I'm really not into romantic comedies. As for format, I can do either DVD or Blu-Ray, whatever works best for you Witch Dear Following up on the Adagio question from earlier, what are you top five wishes, for teas and blends? I'm not into tea enough to know But if you have favorite teas, I'd love to try yours! Do you have anything that you do ritually, every summer? I light candles on midsummer each year, and since my birthday falls in the summer (July 13, so soon!) I do a special birthday candle lighting/meditation on the previous year ritual. What are your top five wishes from ThinkGeek? The Dune apron here, these panties in XL, but other than that I have no idea Seen anything lately that makes you go OH HOLY FUCK THAT'S AWESOME!! ? The Man of Steel movie! I know that's not what this question is asking, but I loved it so much. I haven't been this into a movie since The Hobbit. Do you like audiobooks? If so, do you have/would you like to try Audible? (I'm an addict, myself.) I have a real problem following audio books actually, so this would be wasted on me. Chocolate: Love? Hate? Allergic? If love, what are your faves? Love it, but it's not on the "ok foods to eat" list. Do you have any long trips coming up? If so, could you use things to occupy yourself? Nope! 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 nail file for my purse, a scented thing for my car, and a dish for my stud earrings. Does anything from the TP Etsy update interest you? No thank you. I just found out Oreo is launching ones with watermelon flavor in the USA only. Is it something you would enjoy? Oreos happen to be my most favorite cookie but as tempting as watermelon flavored Oreos are, please no cookies! If you don't consider yourself in a "fandom" (and I get that ... I don't really go overboard on my liking of any TV show/Movie/etc), are there any TV shows or Movies that you really like and/or watch regularly or any actors/actresses you wouldn't leave standing in the rain (unless you like looking at them sopping wet, in which case ... well, nevermind)? Ah My fandoms are The Hobbit, Hannibal, The Vampire Diaries, Sherlock, and Dr. Who. I love items related to these fandoms from t-shirts to mugs and everything in between! As for actors, I've got a slight infatuation with Benedict Cumberbatch going on (I think it's the voice because he is surely a strange looking man). So, dear witchee, would you like some Tw*twaffle soap or scent or lotion? Not for me, thank you! Has anyone asked about tattoos? Do you love them? Hate them? Have any? Want any? I used to want a tattoo quite badly, but then when my brother got his done I saw how painful it was. I've got a low pain tolerance, so I don't think I'll wind up with one. I love how they look on other people, particularly the meaningful ones.

Hi Witch Dear! What are the three BPALs you would most like to receive - one GC, one not-hard to find LE, and one HTF LE from your dreams? GC: Alice (I don't know why I still don't have a bottle of this!) LE: Variety of Pleasing Amusements HTF LE: Antique Lace If you knit/crochet, what sizes of needles do you need? I'm still so new to crochet that all sizes are needed! If you cook, would you be interested in-hand made spice mixes/rubs? Yes please! If you send me something of this nature though, would it be too much trouble to label the ingredients? There are a lot of food allergies in my house and labels make everything easier. Would you like mexican vanilla or silver rings/necklaces? Yes please!!! I would adore some Mexican vanilla, and I love silver jewelry. I've been looking for a simple silver band for ages now. The Conjure Oils update (http://conjureoils.com/emporium.htm) looks absolutely fabulous...I didn't know she made soaps and candles and whanot. Is there anything from the Oddment Emporium you would like? Midnight and Voluptuary look awesome, and I'd prefer them in the perfume oil. What is your favorite color? Soft butter yellow. It's just so cheery! What is your favorite season? Probably autumn. I just feel right when the leaves are falling and the days are getting shorter and colder. If you could live anywhere in the world and money was no object, where would it be? I've recently realized that I'm not a big city girl (living in Minneapolis for a year just about drove me crazy), and it would have to be near a beach. Either on Kauai or in a small beach town on the East Coast.

Hi Witch Dear! Do you have any symbols or totems that are meaningful to you? I love the infinity symbol (it looks like a sideways figure 8), and elephants and bees are very meaningful to me. When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? I'll walk the dogs, or just sit and read. If it's a really really bad day, crying always helps release the frustration/stress. 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 soda for me, thank you! Ninjas or Pirates? Pirates Werewolves or vampires? Vampires Zombie or Cthulhu? Cthulu 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? Whatever works best for you, Witch Dear! 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? Scarves and wash clothes/towels are awesome amigurumi would also be awesome!

Is there a Quote that resonates with you, or that you particularly like a lot. Would this be something you would like artwork made of for your walls or a shirt/bag/scarf? I love the Beatles lyric "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." and "The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues; otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost" by CS Lewis. I would love to have a bag or piece of art with either quote! Also, STARBUCKS, Yay or Nay? Anything you particularly like? No, thank you. I'm not a coffee drinker and I've cut sugar out of my diet entirely so Starbucks is out of the question. Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking? Yes! Stella Luna is my mother and she would be delighted to help you! If you happen to find out who yours is, how much would it bother you? Not at all! I love to find out who my Witches are so that I can properly thank you. I hope you reveal, Witch Dear, but if you don't I completely understand Do you use waxmelts or tarts? If so, which ones do you prefer? Neither, thank you. Do you enjoy drinking hot chocolate, and would you like stuff to make it with, or to add to it? I looove hot chocolate, but it's definitely not in my diet plan Have you ever tried Spoonfudge? Would you enjoy it if your Witch would send you some? Which of the flavors would you like? I'm not even going to look this up because anything with fudge in the name is definitely not weight-loss friendly What's your opinion on Moonalisa? Any favorites or products you'd like to try? No, thank you 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) Most of the Lunacies I love the moon, and I love the idea of full moon perfumes, but something in the lunar oil base just goes totally awful with my skin chemistry. To date, the only Lunacy that has worked for me was this year's Honey Moon.
