Calling SummerRain!
The Spring Bag Swapper has a few questions for you in preparation of your goodie shopping bag:
Do you cook, or are you more of a ready-made meal person? If you cook, what's your favorite thing to make for dinner?
I cook from scratch pretty much every day, I enjoy cooking. I don't know if I have one favourite... but Indian food is my favourite cuisine.
Are you a tea or coffee person or both?
Both! Although I don't drink black tea, I drink mint and green tea. I've switched to decafe coffee lately, coffee is my preferred drink.
Do you like sweet or savory foods?
Both! I love sweet foods, cakes and chocolates... but I have a serious crisp habit. It's getting a bit embarrassing when I go shopping.
Any food allergies or dislikes?
I'm very mildly allergic to most raw fruits, which only really means I don't eat them raw so it's not likely to be an issue. I'm also allergic to soya milk/yogurt, but not products with soy in (soya based chocolate, tofu, etc are all okay). (My allergy specialist didn't know why.)
What are your favorite shops for food and snacks and for clothing and such?
Anywhere that sells vegan chocolate or lunch is a favourite food shop. I buy most of my clothes second hand online or from charity shops, but my favourite clothes shop is probably Fat Face.
What's your favorite hobby?
Reading. Followed closely by cooking, baking, sewing and knitting.
Are you a candles person?
I like candles, especially scented ones. I don't have loads, I usually just have one on the go at a time, but every time I light it it makes me smile.
Do you use body lotions and other toiletries?
I use face cream, hand cream, shower gel and body scrub regularly. I like a nice smelling body lotion.
What are your favorite snacks?
Crisps! Vegan "milk" chocolates. Cake. Poppadums.
What sort of shopping bag would you prefer fabric/material-wise?
I'm pretty girly/feminine in my dress, lots of my handbags are floral. So anything pretty will go down well.
What sort (if any) of jewelry do you wear?
I wear dangly bead earings, and silver studs. My ears were pierced 8 times but I think at least one has closed up, I usually just wear the bottom ones. I wear necklaces most days, some are plastic and fun, some are silver and delicate.
What's your favorite mode of dress? Comfy? Casual? Jeans and tees? Or are you a fancier dresser?
Um... most days I wear floor length skirts, vest/tshirt tops, and a long or chunky cardigan. Or floaty tops, or chunky jumpers with jeans/velvet trousers. I love knitwear, floral things, pretty things and comfortable things.
When you are going out, what's your must-have/wear accessory?
I think I wear a cardigan most days! I often wear different brades in my hair, so I always have a hair band or two, and a hair grip or two on me.
I may be back with more.
I hope that helped!
CALLING KLS52!What are your favorite colors? It's a toss up between yellow and blue.
What kind of treats do you like: Sweet, sour, salty, crunchy, creamy? Definitely sweet but also salty and crunchy.
Do you like chocolate? I love chocolate!
What about spicy foods, yes or no? Spicy as in hot but I am very sensitive to other spices like cilantro, rosemary, sage, thyme, etc. I'm pretty much a salt/black/cayenne pepper, onion/garlic person.
Do you have any nonhuman children, and if so, what kind? I have four cats.
Do you enjoy scented items, and if so, what kind of scents? I like scented items if they are cinnamon/nutmeg/fruity. No vanilla. I recently purchased a lemon/verbena lotion that is divine.
Do you like to read? If so, what do you enjoy reading? Sadly, not much of a reader. If I do read, it has to be on my kindle and non-fiction. I like animal stories like, The Good Good Pig, Where the Blind Horse Sings.
Are you a writer? Hmmm...I'd have to say no.
Do you like to cook or bake? I love food, cooking and baking.
Are you a spiritual person? Very much so.
Do you have any allergies or dislikes that I should know about? Not really, except for vanilla scented things or the spices I mentioned.
That’s it for the questions. I will await your answers.
Calling Calliegirl:
What kind of snacks do you like? Sweat, salty, spicy, all of the above?
Sweet first, then salty, then slightly spicy.
Do you have any allergies or dislikes?
Peanuts and apples give me migraines, so I don't eat those. I don't like pears, the texture bothers me and I don't really like the flavor.
Anything in particular you'd like?
Chocolate! Actually whatever is popular where you're at, or something you really like, that you'd recommend to others.
Do you have any furkids?
Three kitties.
Favorite color?
I tend to favor pinks, purples and dark red. But, I like anything bright and cheerful.
Favorite scents?
Pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, most food type scents. I don't like perfumey or floral scents.
Calling Wolfie!
Allergic to anything or just plainly disliking something to the bone? No allergies. Olives are one of the most vile things known to man but otherwise I am not too picky.
Chewy, creamy, crunchy, chocolaty, spicey, sour, sweet, salty....liking some or none? I consider chocolate it's own food group, but I do like any of the above, as long as it's not extremely spicy.
Collecting anyhing or living spartan? Other than dog hair under the couch and in the corners, no.
Are the paper and pen your friend with welcoming creativity in in shape of art or enemy that you wish to see from far? I'm not creative at all. I can barely draw a stick person.
Liking all the colors under the sun or keeping one more next to your heart? Purple is my favorite.
Battle between superfoods and junk or being clear which one you want? Either is good. I eat my share of both.
Needing a bag for shopping all you want or just picking few items at once? I tend to go to the store for a few things at a time because I am unorganized that way.
Calling out sallyomally!!!!!!!!!!
The bag...... What kind? Plasticy reusable, canvas/cottony reusable????? Small, medium, large or huge?
Plasticy seems to work well. My profession requires carrying a lot of "stuff", so large to huge would be fab!
Spicy or mild?
SPICY!!!
Crunchy or chewy?
Yes and yes!
Sweet or savory?
Yes and yes! We like to eat at our house.
Do you like candles? Any scents you are drawn to, any you dislike?
Love candles. I seem to go for scents that smell like things baking (vanilla,hazlenut, biscotti,etc) fruity scents like blueberry, apple, etc. not a huge fan of florals or patchouli or "woodsy" scents.
Jewelry? If so, necklaces? Earrings? Long, short, dangly, studs?
Stopped wearing jewelry when I began working with small children. I was forever losing things, so just decided to give it up.
Soaps, gels, lotions, potions?
Yes! I love anything to use in the bath or shower.
Top 3 favorite colors?
Hmmm... let's see... red, aqua, shades of green.
I know you have fur kids....
A bunch!
Think that is all for now....
Thank you, exchange fairy!
