Hello my beautiful friend!

I am incredibly easy to please.  No, seriously.  I can't remember the last time I disliked something somebody gave me.  To me, the best part of receiving gifts is seeing what a person chooses for me.  I love to see YOUR personality in the presents you choose for me.  I'll list some suggestions but it might be easier to tell you what I don't like/want.  My MUT profile also has more about me so be sure to check that out if you need to.

Since nail polish is my cosmetic of choice, here's a list of what I already have:  http://thedailynail.net/my-stash/

Things I don't like:

Anything raspberry flavoured

Anything coconut scented.

Anything vanilla scented...unless it's actual food.  I don't like to smell like a cookie and I don't like food scented candles because they make me hungry :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I do, however, love sandalwood vanilla scents.

I can't wear earrings anymore...even expensive ones.  But I do love other jewelry

I don't like dark chocolate

No lipstick or gloss please but colourless lip balm is fine.

No shimmery eye shadows.  I prefer matte shades in greys, purples and earth tones.

I do not use sunscreen as I despise the smell.

Not so much something I don't like but I do not have a bathtub.  We have one of those fancy schmancy showers so bubble bath and bath bombs would be wasted on me.

I don't like bar soap.  I only use B&BW foaming hand soaps which I utterly love.

-----------------------------------

Things I DO like:

Firstly, I am a very fair skinned redhead.  I do not tan nor do I want too.  Makeup for me is always very fair or porcelain with pinkish undertones.

I'm 51, married,  4 kids, 1 grandchild, 6 cats.  I love to garden, feed the birds, cook, play the Sims and read trashy romance novels.   I live in Massachusetts...zone 5 if you plan on sending a plant or bulbs my way.

My favourite colours are red and yellow but I love all colours really.  My favourite colour combination is turquoise and yellow.

My favourite scent is freesia and I adore to smell like one.  It's been my signature scent since forever and I really liked the B&BW Sheer Freesia scented stuff which they no longer sell.  Dirty rat bastards!

My favourite flower is iris.

I collect salt cellars and pie birds.  I love photo frames.  

I love sample sized lotions, powders, deodorants, etc.  You can hit the bins at Target, spend $10 and be done with me lol.  I love that aisle with all my heart!!!

I'm crazy about Hello Kitty and all things girly and pink.

I love shower oils and dry oil sprays.

I absolutely love MaskerAide paper masks.

If you have African Violets in your house, I would adore 2 or 3 leaf cuttings off of it as I like to propagate plants.  (Just cut them off and leave them loose in a little paper, not plastic, bag right before you seal the box!) 

I have a gorgeous wax tart burner and I love tarts!  (no vanilla scents...see above)

 I'm a fan of latte and cappuccino and cocoa.  I have a Keurig and also a latte maker.

I don't mind getting swatched Ipsy/BB stuff that you don't like as long as it's not some horrifying bright colour.  I'm at the age where bright makeup makes me look like a hooker.

Any kind of perennial flower bulbs/seeds

Nail polish!!!  I love OPI, Essie, China Glaze...whatever.  I just love nail polish in general!

Facial moisturizer for extra dry skin.  I have never found my "one" so I just keep trying.  It's hard to find one without all the nonsense...anti-wrinkle, anti-oxident, anti-everything.  I just want a good facial mositurizer, dammit!  I don't want hype.

Body butters but no coconut or vanilla scents

Candles...no food or vanilla scents but I do like coffee scented candles.  I love florals and ocean/air/cotton type scents.  Yankee Candle Hydrangea is probably my favourite candle scent.  I don't think they make it anymore.

Chocolate!  Milk not dark.

Goofy, silly things.  Rubber duckies, HK stuff, bobble heads...you know, fun kid stuff.  I'm 50 going on 5.

I love handmade things of all kinds.

I love B&BW foaming soaps and candles

I love stickers!  You know, Merry Christmas, Happy birthday, cute sentiments, goofy faces...whatever.  Yes, I am 51 going on 2 years old!

Note cards!!

Cookie cutters!!

Boobleheads

miniature figurines
