Hi everyone

If you haven't received a swap from me and the due date's running out - please contact me. I always send my swaps and things can get lost in the mail. Also if you're interested in a private swap, contact me. If I can do it I'll be most definitely up to it. :)

AKA What I definitely wouldn't mind to receive :)))

Pagan / Wiccan Items:

I LOVE natural incense and oils (also selfmade, of course!), crystals, natural things in general. I'm mainly interested in Celtic pagan beliefs, ogham, runes, herblore, ... Recommendations are just as welcome, be it for books, webpages, or whatever else! :) Here be a very special recommendation from myself... a book by a very dear friend of mine which I quite simply love: The Temple Of The Twelve: http://esmereldalittleflame.com/gemma1_003.htm

Cosmetics / Bath / etc.:

I must say that me and my skin really prefer natural products if that's any possible. I know sometimes they're not available and it's not that I'm being picky, but I DO feel the difference. I love nice scents - many types, just don't like too overpowering one. If in doubt - ask me. :) I don't need whole loads of shower gels as I seem to get them whenever someone decides to give me bath products, so please no piles of them sent my way? ;) In fact I like using nice natural soaps even more than shower gels. If you know those shops: L'Occitane and Lush, those are for example products I love. No need to send me exactly those at all, that's just to give you an idea as they're international. I do love handmade stuff by YOU just as much! :) All that goes for all such products… bath, shampoo, body lotion, perfumes, etc. Now as for make up: I'd rather not receive any and if you really want to send me something - please ask me first. I do wear make up but there are many things I don't use at all.

I respect other people, their interests, their believes, etc. and I expect them to treat me the same way. :)

Please don't send me any religious leaflets, be it christian or otherwise. I'm pagan and I really don't need to be preached upon. I respect other religions, so please respect mine, too. Thank you! :)

If you'd like to do a sweets / chocolates swap with me - I'm up to it, BUT I don't want to do too many swaps like this or receive loads in other swaps. I love chocolate, I love some sweets, but there's only so much I can eat without getting headaches (a slight allergy to some...) and I'd just have to give the things away. :( I'm mentioning this because what with me being in Switzerland, people tend to think CHOCOLATE... LOL

Music... I don't really like rap, too electronic sound and jazz.

... about sending me something, making something for me - just ask! :) If you're unsure whether I'd really like something, simply ask. I'm online quite often so replying shouldn't be a problem (unless there's an I'll be absent message in Important Information). If you're in a pagan-themed swap with me and are unsure about what to send me or what not - ask, too. I didn't quite list details about pagan / wiccan interests here as I'm not sure how relevant they will be on here - depending on how many swaps there are which are themed like that I might change that at some point. :D
