(ofc, lol). But if I had to choose one, Sybil. It sounds like it was custom made from all my favorite notes. Which web comics do you enjoy? Natalee Dee, Penny Arcade, Toothpaste for Breakfast

9/16/10 If I were to knit a scarf, would you prefer a skinny one, or a wide one? A short one, that when wrapped once around your neck will just tuck under your jacket, or a long one, at least to your waist? I like long, wide scarves. How do you feel about recipes? Love them! Although I usually add my own take on recipes, they'er a good starting point! What kind of a cook/baker are you? I LOVE to cook and bake. Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program? I cook pretty much every night. I like to challnge myself to come up with new recipes an enjoy trying new techniques/ingredients. If I send you something home made would you like the reciepe for it? If you'd care to share the recipe, then yes! But I understand that sometimes recipes are personal/family traditions so I wouldn't be upset if you didn't include it. If you are someone who doesn't want baked goods sent, would you like a collection of some of my favorite recipes? That would be fun. How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients? Sure if you are a tea lover, what are your flavor preferences? Green? Black? Herbal (I know, technically those are NOT teas, but tisanes)? Flavored blacks/greens? I prefer green and black teas. Fruit flavors are always good. 9/15/10 How do you feek about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? I actually collect silly magnets (mostly pugs, vintage and places I've visitied). Other knick knacks are fun, but with toddlers, they might not be a good idea. Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? Not really. I work in a library. Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Yes! If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Of course! I love handmade goods. OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? Knee high is preferred since I only wear socks in the fall/winter (I'm a sandals girl the rest of the year). I love funky colors and patterns.

Any countries you're interested in? India Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? yes! Perversion scented items would be heavenly. If your witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? It's the thought that counts... unless it's something like swapping the sugar in a recipe for salt... In that case, I'd still appreciate the thought but would probably pass on the resulting salty confection... Are you a foodie? Yes.

If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? Not picky. In fact I sometimes like the suggested item better than the original. Do you wear make up? Not much. Mascara and lip gloss.

Not at all what I was expecting from a New Orleans blend. I guess I was hoping for more earthy blend based on the notes listed... more like walking along the levee on a dark night. Instead this blend is a bright floral with crisp sweet olive as the top note, quickly drying down to a subtle white floral scent with very little staying power. None of the deep moss I was hoping for. Within 30 minutes this was almost impossible to smell on my wrist. Still a very pretty blend, but not reminiscent of New Orleans nights on the river.

Here you go:
