lovepink · May 8, 2014

Ok! My list is survey is completed! Add me to the directory please @@meaganola

ALLERGIES!! I am not allergic to anything nor is anyone in my household.
Dietary restrictions: No dietary restrictions. If you want to send me food go ahead, home made store bought. Mmm food.
Skin allergies/sensitivities: I do not know for sure that I am allergic or sensitive but I have bought cheap earrings from Charming Charlie and they made my ears itch. Then again I have a Fitbit flex that has been recalled for giving people skin rashes and I still wear that so who knows!

Would you like to get a heads-up from a Fairy that your package is on its way, or would you prefer its delivery to be a complete surprise?Suprise! I promise I will post the minute I recieve it in the reveal thread. If you have the tracking and it shows delivered and I have not posted, contact a fairy to reach out to me!

Not mandatory but cannot be recommended highly enough: Do you have an on-forum swap/Midsummer Dream list? If it's anywhere other than this post, URL here, please! Not yet. Maybe I can work on that next?

Basic background information:

Style descriptions! Brief is better.

Nails-I keep them shortish. I get regular manis. I like all colors on my nails. And sparkles. Or glitter. Wraps.
Skincare (face/neck)-I use face wash, moisturizer. I don't have a set routine because I am using samples. My skin is not sensitve and I can use different products in AM than I do in the PM and not have issues.
Bodycare (every where else)-I like smelly good stuff. In liquid forms not bars.

Assuming they are separately packaged and clearly labeled, what are your feelings on prepared-by-sender beauty items? Unsealed samples? Items from the bulk foods section? Fine with me. I am not a germaphobe.
Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items? I would prefer more small items but it is up to the fairy god parent! Either would be fine!

What designs/designers do you prefer (please limit to top 3) I do really buy designer things or get too hung up on "designer" stuff.

If you want to include things for my dogs, great! If not that is ok too, don't feel obligated. I have a husband but I can't even buy things he likes with out asking him specifically!
If your fairy godparent curates an awesome set of items for you, would you rather they be wrapped individually, or be a huge smorgasbord that you can look at all at once? Would you prefer to open each gift slowly and methodically or will it be ribbons and bows and paper flying as you tear into it? Wrapped individually. I unwrap slowly, careful not to rip or tear paper or ribbons. If you are not a gifted wrapper (I know I am not) do what is easier for you.
It's a hot, sunny 90-degree summer day and you have no obligation to be anywhere in particular. Where are you and what are you doing? The beach! Sunning and reading a book or people watching. Oh and there is ice cream involved at some point in this day. And adult beverages. Just saying.

And advanced fun stuff:

What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like? Read. Work out.
Fandoms, favorite TV shows, movies, books, music, Hogwarts house, etc. I do not have cable, so I do not have specific tv shows I like: we are currently watching: Charmed, Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men, Justified, Greek on netflix. I like all music except county. And only classical when I need to focus or sleep. I like mystery or thrillers in books. I subsribed to a lot of magazines!
What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon? Home made stuff. Anything you think I will like. Haha no I lie, bags. I like bags.
Pirates or ninjas? Pirates!
Zombies: Yay or nay? Um nay? I do not watch zombie shows but my husband watches Walking Dead and we joke about the zombie apocalypse.

Hand-made items (from your godparent or purchased) Yes

Reed Diffusers No
Incense NO
Other home fragrance (say, room spray or scented rocks) yes. What are scented rocks? I understand what scent is and a rock but are they decorative rocks? Why?
Local Items YES!
Mix CD Sure why not.

Food Items (and what types) Sweet or salty.
Beverages (and what types) None
Puzzle Books -- words, numbers, pictures No.

LadyK · May 9, 2014

Absolute must-answers (note: If you do not wish to post answers to these three questions in public, please send a PM to @magicalmom. These answers will only be shared with your Fairy Godparent):

ALLERGIES!! Please list any allergies to products, foods, scents, etc., that you or anyone living in your household has! I'm allergic to most perfumes and strong floral scents.
Dietary restrictions: Do you or anyone in your household have any food-related restrictions/sensitivities, etc? Would you prefer not to receive food items? No food allergies and boy is food welcome!
Skin allergies/sensitivities: Do you or anyone in your household have any skin allergies/sensitivities not already listed that your Fairy Godparent should know about (e.g., wool, metals in jewelry, etc)? Do you avoid silicone, sulfates, etc? No other allergies except to moth balls. ( I just discovered this one, it was awful, lol. )

Would you like to get a heads-up from a Fairy that your package is on its way, or would you prefer its delivery to be a complete surprise? I would love to know my package is on its way but if my Fairy Godmother wants it to be a surprise that's okay too.

Not mandatory but cannot be recommended highly enough: Do you have an on-forum swap/Midsummer Dream list? If it's anywhere other than this post, URL here, please! Not yet! When I get one I will post it and add it to my signature.

Basic background information:

Style descriptions! Brief is better.

Makeup I tend to go classic or professional but I love to add a pop of color on eyes or lips.
Hair I love body so I use volumizing products and blow dry.
Nails I think anything goes for nails. I once had them painted like little baseballs and then ladybugs!
Skincare (face/neck) I go simple, unscented, and as few ingredients as possible.
Bodycare (every where else) I love food scented lotions and creams and use them as often as possible.
Home I love old things and antiques. I guess my decorating style is a cross between English country house and just plain comfortable.

More advanced questions:

Solve for X: I am wearing too much X, and I DO NOT CARE! Mascara! I can't get enough of it.
Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care? I love trying responsibly made products but it's not a must.
You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy? I can't decide between a drugstore and Sephora. I would either buy Everything that caught my eye at the drugstore (lipliners, lipsticks, nail art kits, mascara, eyeshadows) or go to Sephora and get the latest Philosophy promotional scent gift and try to find that perfect red lipliner.
Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. I subscribe to Birchbox and Fortune Cookie Soap box. I recently cancelled my Ipsy subscription.
Assuming they are separately packaged and clearly labeled, what are your feelings on prepared-by-sender beauty items? Unsealed samples? Items from the bulk foods section? Sounds great!
Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items? I can't decide, maybe mini's so I could try a few different things. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Brand-and-color-specific time!

What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why? I love the Elizabeth Mott It's so Big mascara. My lashes look so long and it never clumps on me.
What specific product(s) are you lusting after? Feel free to link to a wishlist with particulars! I can never get enough of anything by First Aid Beauty. (Thanks to my previous SS :wub: ) I would also love to try a spring/summer lip color and something in the new radiant orchid color. I would really love to try my Fairy Godmother's HG products.
What make-up items do you use every day? I never leave the house without mascara and something on my lips.
What are your holy grail items? Holy crap? Elizabeth Mott mascara.
What one item/product are you interested in, but just have't gotten around to trying? I've been interested in trying shimmer powders or highlighters for my face.

General product section, aka not brand/color specific

What one product can you just not get enough of? I have to say mascara. I am also finding myself lusting after lipsticks lately.
What one product do you actually use more than any other? What runs out quickest in your make-up drawer? Mascara yet again.
What product(s) can you absolutely not use at all for reasons other than allergies/sensitivities listed in the background section (e.g., I can't use foot scrubbers because my feet are too ticklish)? Nothing comes to mind.
What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine? I would love to have more brushes. I really only have one small eyeshadow brush and a blush brush.
What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing? I want to try to find a good bronzer.
What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive? I can't think of anything.

Brands:

What brand do you have more products from than any other? Any particular reason? I have a lot of pixi and city color items but it's mostly because of subscription boxes.
What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to? I hear a lot of great things about Urban Decay but haven't tried much of their stuff.
What brand(s) do you not want? I'm game to try just about anything.

Colors (not specific shades):

Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color? Purple
Favorite color combination? I love soft blues and greys.
Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination Pale purple/grey walls with white trim.
What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Why? Nudes and red lip products.
Color(s) to avoid? Orange? I'm not really sure, just about every color has a particular shade I find pretty.

Scents

What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent to wear in the summer? I don't really wear perfume. My favorite scents are food related like vanilla and spice scents.
What is the fragrance of your favorite home fragrance (e.g., candle, diffuser)? I love apple cider candles.
Describe your favorite scents/notes, without naming a specific perfume or fragrance. Spices, vanilla, citrus.
Without naming a specific perfume or fragrance, what are your favorite perfume companies? Favorite home fragrance companies? Don't have any.

And finally (at least for the beauty section), Yes/No?

Perfume No, it's just too hard to tell what I'll be allergic to with perfume.

Self-tanner/tanning wipes Only if it's a gradual tan lotion. The wipes and sprays never seem to work out for me.

And extra non-makeup-related questions!

What designs/designers do you prefer (please limit to top 3) I love sleek clean looking clothes and 50's style dresses so: Prada, Michael Kors, and Dolce and Gabbana.
Is your box all about you? Or would you like to see things in your box for your significant other/spouse, kid(s), pet(s), whatever? If the latter, please list age/gender/species. I have a small doggy named Josh (under 12 pounds) and am expecting my first baby in December. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
If your fairy godparent curates an awesome set of items for you, would you rather they be wrapped individually, or be a huge smorgasbord that you can look at all at once? Would you prefer to open each gift slowly and methodically or will it be ribbons and bows and paper flying as you tear into it? I love lots of little things to unwrap but I would love to see what my Fairy Godmother comes up with.
It's a hot, sunny 90-degree summer day and you have no obligation to be anywhere in particular. Where are you and what are you doing? I have my feet in a kiddie pool and am reading a book.

And advanced fun stuff:

What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like? In my spare time I love to read and craft. I sew, knit, and crochet.
Fandoms, favorite TV shows, movies, books, music, Hogwarts house, etc. I am a Doctor Who fan and love PBS shows like Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife and Sherlock. I love Harry Potter and am pretty sure I'd end up in Ravenclaw.
What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon? I would love something crafted or local!
Pirates or ninjas? Definitely pirates. Tall ships are freakin awesome!
Zombies: Yay or nay? Zombies scare me, it's weird.
Disney! Favorite movie, hero, villain? I love Beauty and the Beast. I love that Belle always has her face in a book. I'm pretty sure she fell in love with the beast after seeing his library. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Describe three things decorating your living space. On the mantel there are a collection of Harpers Magazine books from the 1850's, a silver salver (mostly because I like to say those words), and a blue willow type teapot.

Mix CD Sounds awesome!
Home Items (and what types) Sure, I can't think of specific things but I love little decorative things and pictures.

Puzzle Books -- words, numbers, pictures Ooh, these sound fun!

I want to add that I am pretty much game for anything as long as you had fun putting it together. I am easy to please and would love to discover your favorites! I think the best part of all this is shopping for someone else so have fun! Ready! Set! GO!

meaganola · May 15, 2014

I guess I could go ahead and post this, huh?

Absolute must-answers:

ALLERGIES!! Please list any allergies to products, foods, scents, etc., that you or anyone living in your household has! -- Any scent with the word "white" in the description = instant headache.
Dietary restrictions: Do you or anyone in your household have any food-related restrictions/sensitivities, etc? Would you prefer not to receive food items? No beef, please. I'm not vegetarian, but I can't eat it. Cilantro is a migraine trigger. Avocado = hives. Steak fajitas with salsa and a side of guacamole? My nightmare.
Skin allergies/sensitivities: Do you or anyone in your household have any skin allergies/sensitivities not already listed that your Fairy Godparent should know about (e.g., wool, metals in jewelry, etc)? Do you avoid silicone, sulfates, etc? I don't avoid most things other people avoid like sulfates, silicones, paragons, etc, but I have to avoid avocado! I get hives whether I eat it or put it on my skin. Avocado oil seems to be okay as long as it's not on my face, but avocado masks? No no no no no. Oh, and jewelry! I can't wear earrings due to a weird unhealing thing my ears do. And I can't handle short necklaces because they make me feel like I'm choking, and bracelets and rings just annoy me.

Would you like to get a heads-up from a Fairy that your package is on its way, or would you prefer its delivery to be a complete surprise? -- It would be nice to know so I have something to look forward to if I'm having a crappy time at work, but not a big deal if not!

Not mandatory but cannot be recommended highly enough: Do you have an on-forum swap/Midsummer Dream list? If it's anywhere other than this post, URL here, please! much a work in progress right now because I was expecting a couple more days to !)

Basic background information:

Style descriptions! Brief is better.

Makeup -- I-get-up-at-5am-and-spend-ten-minutes-on-makeup makeup.
Hair -- Wash/condition the night before, brush it out in the morning, and call it good. No heat, no hold products. Ever. Style-wise, I seem to usually pull it up in a big hair clip nowadays, especially when it's warm or hot. It's just past my shoulders (long layers, I guess), fine, thick, and this weird straight/wavy hybrid. I don't even know how to describe it. Just boring hair that I put up to keep myself from playing with it all day or melting from the sweat.
Nails -- Always polished or covered with nail wraps. The weirder the better!
Skincare (face/neck) -- Low-maintenance due to skin sensitivity. Cleanser, moisturizer/facial oil (depends on the weather and season), and that's it. I try to remember to exfoliate once a week, but I don't usually succeed. I'm trying to do weekly masks. I rarely remember.
Bodycare (every where else) -- Shower gel to cleanse. Bar soap makes me itch like crazy! Body lotion, butter, oil to moisturize. I love sugar scrubs (especially Fortune Cookie Soap) for shaving my legs!
Home -- I have no style. My living space is filled with crap my cats have decided to play with. Edgar loves drinking stews in general and Starbucks straws in particular. I don't why specifically Starbucks. He has The Crazies.

More advanced questions:

Solve for X: I am wearing too much X, and I DO NOT CARE! -- Colorful sparkly loose eyeshadow.
Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care? -- Nice but (I shouldn't admit this) I kind of stopped paying attention to this a while ago.
You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy? -- Sephora, and I would probably be so overwhelmed by choice that I can't decide! If it gets expanded to just cosmetics companies, Glamour Doll Eyes. I would split it between this summer's multiple upcoming collections!
Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. -- Urgh. Birchbox, SquareHue, Glamour Doll Eyes, ipsy (just resubscribed after a several-months-long break, so my first bag this time around is May), Le Metier de Beaute, NatureBox, innocent+twisted alchemy (May was my first month!), Rainbow Honey (see i+ta!), Julep (usually skip, will probably continue to skip now that I have the RH sub delivering exactly what I've been wishing Julep would do!), Scratch (have skipped most months since I joined). I think that's it! I'm currently seriously coveting the benefit lollitint from the April ipsy bag and the Revlon crayon from the May ipsy bag! I'm still waiting for a Birchbox to load before I'll know whether there's anything in those that I want but am not receiving.
Assuming they are separately packaged and clearly labeled, what are your feelings on prepared-by-sender beauty items? Unsealed samples? Items from the bulk foods section? Sure!
Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items? Minis! I think the only full-sized products I have ever finished are cleansers, bb cream, lip balm, and Seche Vite.

Brand-and-color-specific time!

What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why? Lip Smackers. They were launched when I was, like, one year old, so I feel like we have grown up together.
What specific product(s) are you lusting after? Feel free to link to a wishlist with particulars! On my dream list! (Non-forum lists are linked there as well.)
What make-up items do you use every day? -- Glamour Doll Eyes Foil Me. I just got another one even though I'm only halfway through my current bottle because I fear running out during an out-of-stock time.
What are your holy grail items? -- I never used foundation until I discovered Missha Perfect Cover BB cream, and that changed my makeup life! Other than that, just generally loose indie pigments. I would still be sticking to the same colors (and mainly purples) week after week if it wasn't for GDE's sub sending me on the course of "well, hey, they sent me bright yellow. I might as well give it a shot!"
Holy crap? -- I can't think of any.
What one item/product are you interested in, but just have't gotten around to trying? -- Brow pencil/gel. I feel like my brows need to be ever so slightly darker, and I have the Starlooks brow quad that they sent out last May, but I want to try something other than a powder. I just keep putting off buying a pencil/gel/anything else!

General product section, aka not brand/color specific

What one product can you just not get enough of? -- Indie loose pigments. Love them. Want to collect all of them!
What one product do you actually use more than any other? What runs out quickest in your make-up drawer? -- Aside from lip balm and speed-dry top coat (*love* Seche Vite and Sally Hansen Insta-Dry!), I would have to let you know if that ever happened. (I've hit pan on *one* thing: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded. I used it as base with everything last fall and winter, and now I can *just* see the bottom of the jar in one tiny spot. I still have probably half of it left on the sides of the jar.)
What product(s) can you absolutely not use at all for reasons other than allergies/sensitivities listed in the background section (e.g., I can't use foot scrubbers because my feet are too ticklish)? -- Mascara because my eyes are too ticklish. Liquid and gel pot eyeliner because my hands just don't want to cooperate. And, yes, actually, foot scrubbers because my feet are too ticklish! And anything pedicure-related. That's something I leave to professionals.
What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine? -- A nice medium brown brow product. I have good eyebrows, so I'm not looking to fill them out or make them bigger, but I'm Of An Age where they're starting to get lighter, and I want my nice strong brow color back!
What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing? -- Can't really think of anything. I can always use another eyeshadow brush for loose pigments, though!
What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive? -- Mascara, red lipstick, matte neutral anything, black eyeliner, alcohol-based fragrance.

Brands:

What brand do you have more products from than any other? Any particular reason? -- Glamour Doll Eyes. I love loose pigment, and I'm determined to collect every one of their shades. I already have probably three-quarters of their catalog!
What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to? -- Pretty much any indie company other than GDE, Geek Chic Cosmetics (I have a few collections from them), and Espionage Cosmetics (I only buy this line at cons!).
What brand(s) do you not want? -- Hard Candy, any of the ipsy bomb brands.

Colors (not specific shades):

Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color? Fuchsia. At least right this minute.
Favorite color combination? Green and purple. Or cobalt and lime. Or fuchsia and tangerine. Or brown and green. It changes frequently!
Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination -- I tend to go mainly for shades of green since my carpet and walls are brown because green + brown = forest. And that way, I can use little bursts of color like a bright red Helmer to represent a flowering plant, just like the forests around here!
What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Why? -- No such thing! I'm all over the place with color.
Color(s) to avoid? -- Black (if we're talking about eyeliner), red (lipstick and nail polish), neutrals, nudes, traditional nail polish colors in general. Just general color anywhere: Orange and yellow. They make me angry. I don't know why. They're okay for eyeshadow for some reason, though.

Scents

What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent to wear in the summer? -- I don't really have an all-time favorite. Maybe Shalimar because my mom wore it, but for myself, none. I change scents frequently, and I go through phases where I wear one scent every single day for a few months, and then I suddenly change to something radically different. This spring, I've been wearing a whole lot of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Scherezade. The past few summers, I've been really into BPAL La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente, Tamora, and Vixen (and for some reason, I've been wearing Vixen on weekends a *lot* lately).
What is the fragrance of your favorite home fragrance (e.g., candle, diffuser)? -- Hmm... I don't really have one. I like evocative home fragrance that makes me feel like I'm in a fortune teller's tent at a traveling carnival with tons of spicy resiny goodness everywhere. Or a Storyville reception room. Or an ancestral Sasquatch family manor. Or a cemetery for Dia de los Muertos.
Describe your favorite scents/notes, without naming a specific perfume or fragrance. -- resiny, spicy, incense-y. Head shop sorts of stuff. I think the official fragrance profiles would be oriental and floriental. On occasion, I like jasmine. I love citrus stuff for the shower, but perfume-wise, I'm on a resin/spice/musk/sandalwood kick right now.
Without naming a specific perfume or fragrance, what are your favorite perfume companies? Favorite home fragrance companies? -- Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab for perfume. Black Phoenix Trading Post for home.
What form of perfume do you prefer (oil, alcohol-based, spray, open bottle, rollerball)? Oil, which I will put in a rollerball if it's not in one already. Alcohol-based and I typically do *not* get along. Sadly, most fragrance out there is alcohol-based nowadays, even rollerballs.
What form of home fragrance do you prefer (candle, diffuser, air freshener, plug-in)? Spray.
Other than perfume/fragrance oils, what is your favorite type of toiletry/scented item? Body oil/butter/lotion. It's a tie!
Scent(s)/notes(s) to avoid? -- Anything with "white" in the description. Also: vetiver, banana, berry.

And finally (at least for the beauty section), Yes/No?

Foils -- yes
Deluxe Samples -- yes
Hair Oil -- yes
Face Oil -- yes
Perfume -- yes, if it's oil-based
Sunblock/Sunscreen -- no
Self-tanner/tanning wipes -- no

And extra non-makeup-related questions!

What designs/designers do you prefer (please limit to top 3) -- Uh… Art Nouveau. Paisley. Pop art (especially Keith Haring). I don't think I can name even one designer.
List any public wishlists (Amazon, etsy, Sephora), swap lists and/or Tumbler/Pinterest entries your fairy godparent should consult. They're on my dreamlist!
Is your box all about you? Or would you like to see things in your box for your significant other/spouse, kid(s), pet(s), whatever? If the latter, please list age/gender/species. -- I have two going-on-three-year-old kitties. They have *all* of the crazies. They make toys out of random household things like boxes (they *love* boxes!) and soda straws.
If your fairy godparent curates an awesome set of items for you, would you rather they be wrapped individually, or be a huge smorgasbord that you can look at all at once? Would you prefer to open each gift slowly and methodically or will it be ribbons and bows and paper flying as you tear into it? All options are awesome! Decisions are hard!
It's a hot, sunny 90-degree summer day and you have no obligation to be anywhere in particular. Where are you and what are you doing? -- Hiding in a movie theatre or library where the air conditioning and darkness live. Or maybe my aunt's house if she has her AC cranked up to Arctic. Hate the sun and heat. We're talking headache, nausea, and migraine trigger here. I will only go to the beach if it's cloudy and cool!

And advanced fun stuff:

What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like? -- Makeup and fandom are pretty much it.
Fandoms, favorite TV shows, movies, books, music, Hogwarts house, etc. -- Welcome to Night Vale, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad (it's not over in my heart!), Supernatural, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Game of Thrones, True Blood (well, okay, mainly the first two or three seasons before the show runners LOST THEIR COLLECTIVE MIND), Teen Wolf (I watch on Netflix, so I'm a season behind!), The Blacklist, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, Grimm, comic book movies and horror movies in general. I love everything Alice in Wonderland except the Burton film (my earliest memory is of reading the book) and _Once Upon a Time in Wonderland_ (it just didn't grab me). I plan on diving into Star Trek TOS (I've only ever seen *one* episode!) and finally finishing Firefly (so sad! Once I'm done with it, that's it!) this summer. The first fandom I actively participated in was Buffy! I miss that show. Hogwarts house: Ravenclaw. I would self-select, and Pottermore agrees with me.
What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon? -- tacky touristy crap like floaty pens or snow globes, robot magnet, anything in one of my fandoms!
Pirates or ninjas? -- Pirates. My city has a very strong history with pirates. Shanghai Tunnels, baby!
Zombies: Yay or nay? -- Yay! _Night of the Living Dead_ was the first real horror movie I was allowed to watch. It stuck with me. I wanted to do horror movie makeup after I read about how they did it!
Disney! Favorite movie, hero, villain? -- I'm actually not big on *Disney*, but they do own the Marvel Avengers, so... _The Avengers_ (since there isn't an Incredible Hulk movie yet), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo!), and Loki (because Loki).
Describe three things decorating your living space. -- IKEA Helmers (one red, one gray), IKEA four-square cube (black), IKEA side tables (green). I'm not really a decorator.

Yes/no, the extras division:

Virtual gifts (ecerts/gift certs/eBooks) -- Sure!
Hand-made items (from your godparent or purchased) -- Absolutely!
Candles -- No, thanks! Kitty faces + candles = what's that burning smell?
Tarts -- I just received a PartyLite wax warmer, so this would be fantastic.
Reed Diffusers -- No, thank you! These would end up being kitty chew toys. And ruining my rug.
Incense -- Ooh, yes!
Other home fragrance (say, room spray or scented rocks) -- Room spray!
Local Items -- Yes yes yes.
Mix CD -- Absolutely!
Home Items (and what types) -- I'm going to go with no on this one. I don't have a clue about this stuff!
Food Items (and what types) -- Ooh, yes. I'm big on savory and salty things, and sweet-salty, like chocolate-covered pretzels, except those during the summer because MELT. Ooh, and salted caramels? Love. And sesame sticks and dried cherries, which I guess is actually a savory-sweet combo. Pretty much anything with a contrast that does not involve spicy, I guess!
Beverages (and what types) -- I love fruity iced teas, like Harney & Sons Paris, Twinings four red fruits (can't remember the real name), and Earl Gray, but I prefer decaf whenever possible because then I can drink it all day and all night!
Puzzle Books: words, numbers, pictures -- I'm actually a fan of crossword puzzles, but not super hard ones.

Do you avoid silicone, sulfates, etc? No allergies but I do try to avoid parabens and sulfates. I do allow concessions on those when the product is super awesome though and not something I would use on the daily (like foundation, body lotion, etc.)
