About Me

Profile updated 23rd November, 2008

This Christmas, I want to encourage everyone to remember those who can't enjoy the day like we all can. Please take the time to donate either money or food and gifts to charities like the Salvation Army (link to Australian Salvo's), or place a gift under a charity tree, like ones in K-Mart.

I am a psychology student living in the heart of Sydney. If i could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be pavlova ^_^

PLEASE - Always include the swap name, your username or group wishlist/tag name in your package! It's so hard to rate/thank you on time otherwise!

I do re-gift or re-send things I've been given in swaps. This is particularly the case if I know someone will love love love something you've sent me, or I have it already :) Please do not be offended!

I am Christian and very happily a daughter of a loving God ^_^ This does not mean I will shove it down your throat - but please respect that I have a right to my own beliefs!

Favorite Music

Kate Miller-Heidke, Playjerise, The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, Rachel Yamagata, The Beatles, Sufjan Stevens, Sia, Coldplay...and the likes :)

♥ Wishlist ♥

♥ Anything from my Etsy Favourites - see above for link!

♥ Any Baby-Sitters Club books in good condition - I'm a collector so no names or creases please ^^

♥ KAWAII items - see below for more info..

♥ Buttons (especially bright colours or vintage ones)! PLEASE: do not send buttons taped onto cardboard backing or use sticky tape at all to secure buttons! It leaves a layer of sticky film on the buttons and it takes a while to clean off :'(

♥ If you live in NSW, Australia - instant scratchies of any denomination.

♥ Gift vouchers to Coles Myer stores (eg. Coles, Target, K-Mart) or Janetstore. The Janetstore ones can be bought online :)

♥ Fairtrade items

♥ Food miniatures for dolls - I create jewelry out of these. I especially like dessert miniatures or tea sets!

♥ Handmade cute stuffies!

♥ Giraffes and rabbits. ^_^

♥ Good mellow, indie music. I love mixed CDs!

♥ Strong glue, in particular the 'Amazing Goop' which is available in the US.

♥ Anything cupcake related! Cupcake decorated or actually for baking cupcakes, I'll love it all.

♥ Magazines - I love frankie, but already have issues from Nov/Dec 2007 - back issues would be appreciated! also donna hay from before June 2008, and any Martha Stewart Livings or real simple magazines. I love Christmas issues of home or craft magazines (back copies are great)!

♥ Ribbons

♥ Cookie Cutters - especially the sets that are the same shape but in different sizes - I love to make towers!

♥ Dinosaurs - my favourite is the brachiosaurus :) Ben's favourite is the T-Rex.

Dislikes

  • Onions, spring onions, leeks..
  • Cigarette smoke, tobacco..
  • Country style items, especially stationary -- unless it has a vintage charm to it!
  • Chewing gum (to taste, not pictures of it!)
  • Religious idols - I am a Protestant Christian, so prefer not to receive any religious figures etc.
  • Dollar shop ribbons - I definitely prefer the stuff you buy per metre in stationary stores!
  • Birds - i'm generally not a fan unless they're kawaii, or ducks!!
  • Licorice
  • Small dotee dolls - I love the bigger ones!
  • Diddl and Disney merchandise - I love Disney movies but not a big fan of the stuff. I don't like Diddl at all - sorry to the fans out there!
  • Dotee dolls with hair, or no smile - they freak me out a little. Sometimes I'll forget there's a dotee there and think someone's put voodoo in my room, hahaha! But I do love smiling, hairless dotees :-)

More kawaii-related dislikes below..

Kawaii Likes/Dislikes

PLEASE NOTE: when sending me lettersets, please do not put paperclips to keep the sheets together as this dents them :(

Some of my favourite characters -- extra loves in bold:

♥ Palette Sweet Street ♥ Rilakkuma ♥ Happy Memorial Sky ♥ Sugarbunnies ♥ Mamegoma ♥ Smile Pocket ♥ Bonjour Bear ♥ Hannari Tofu ♥ Q-Lia Unko-kun ♥ Ponet Room ♥ Awa Awa Chan ♥ Crux Cream Baby ♥ Kamio Unko Chan ♥ Sweet Paradise ♥ Bear Bear Life ♥ Kamio Dreamy Friends ♥ Elephant & Favorite ♥ San-X Sweet Harmony ♥ Hello! Bear ♥ Q-Lia Panda Bakery ♥ Q-Lia Pretty Ice ♥ San-X Sabo Kappa ♥ Kamio Pudding Friends ♥ Q-Lia Yum Mochi ♥

I love anything with food with little kawaii smiles/facial expressions! I also love all the cute, puffy characters that crux, q-lia and kamio bring out. And zoo animals!

There's definitely nothing wrong with sending me generic kawaii either (as long as it's not fake or rip-offs of other characters)! If there's something cute you think I'd like, feel free to send it!

I also LOVE items from 'Decole', but cannot find it here :(

::::::::::::::::::

Dislikes: FAKE kawaii! Skulls or gothic themed kawaii, Pankunchi, anything with girls or boys, in general, unless it's a fairystory figure, real animal photos incorporated into kawaii stationary, Lovely Bonbon, Cocoakuma, Sanrio Cinnamoroll, Badtz-Maru, San-x Monokuru Boo, Sanrio's Pochacco, Spottie Dottie, Jewel Cat, Mashimaro, Pucca, medication/pill-themed kawaii, like Okusuri-Chan from kamio, Pool Cool fast foods, Baby Infinite

Things Ben Likes!

If you'd like to send my partner Ben something, please address it to 'Ben; c/o my details'. He LOVES getting mail and it really puts a smile on his face ^_^

He likes the following:

♥ Chocolate! Especially fairtrade :) He prefers Milk.

♥ Mountain biking - but he has many, many magazines. He does like posters and things though :)

♥ Car-related things - especially magazines like Wheels.

♥ Fairtrade coffee - he only has a plunger so he can only use ground coffee :)

♥ Chilli sauces

♥ Gift vouchers for department stores

♥ If you live in NSW, Australia - instant scratchies of any denomination

♥ Movies, especially action and thrillers

♥ Music - he loves rock. His favourite bands include Led Zeppelin, The Mars Volta, Red Hot Chili Peppers, VAST, British India, POD, Stereophonics..mixed CDS would really make his day.

♥ Beer related items - he collects vintage bottle openers and interesting looking bottles. Anything he can use for his own home brew beer would be really appreciated as well! ^_^
