Favorite candle, go

[(Anonymous)]

Mine's Voluspa Spiced Goji Tarocco Orange. I like the 5.5oz ones. They don't tunnel, and the jar is translucent white, so they give off a beautiful glow.

Re: Favorite candle, go

[(Anonymous)]

Champagne Toast from Bath and Body Works is my current favorite. It just smells so yummy.

Re: Favorite candle, go

I miss mulberry scented candles. You know, the quality stuff. Yankee used to make one but then stopped.

Favorite item of clothing you own, go.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably my Coach leather jacket. I got it half-price. The quality is A+.

Re: Favorite item of clothing you own, go.

[(Anonymous)]

All my dresses. I can't pick a favorite because they all make me feel so pretty.

Re: Favorite item of clothing you own, go.

[(Anonymous)]

My first thought was "my one legit BTSSB skirt", ironic considering that it never fit me (even at my thinnest my waist isn't THAT thin I have a bigger bone structure than that). But what can I say, I love its aesthetic, 00s light pink sweet lolita is the best.

Re: Favorite item of clothing you own, go.

[(Anonymous)]

Sweatshirt with stegosaurs on it. I get so many compliments on it!

Re: Favorite item of clothing you own, go.

a vest with embroidery on the back done by Tibetan Buddhist monks

Re: Favorite item of clothing you own, go.

[(Anonymous)]

My boots! I wear them all the time but I try to take care of them, and they still look great after seven years.

What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

I am literally just tossing out stuff so the GC isn't empty, in case anyone is bored. I don't usually start threads down here, so please bear with me if they aren't exactly inspired.

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Reading, I guess. I read a lot of books and YA's my favorite genre, but I stay away from the fandom because it gets ugly from time to time. I just read my books and occasionally recommend them to friends and that's it.

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Chess, cooking, gardening

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Tennis. I'm not actually good enough to play against someone yet, but I'm much better than I was a year ago.

Logic puzzles (hence the thread below this one, lol).

Sampling and collecting fragrances. I used to collect more, but it started to feel wasteful and I was uncomfortable with how much money I was spending, so I mostly switched to sampling fragrances and buying travel sizer or decants of my favorites. It's still not a cheap hobby, but much more affordable than collecting full bottles.

I learned to knit early this year, and was very gung-ho on it for like a month, and then just completely dropped it. My motivations has been all over the place this year. I want to get back into it again, though, and actually stick with it. I've got like 2/3rds of a sweater knitted.

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

Bonsai. Had a compliment on them just this morning. (This is why I keep them outside the kitchen window.)

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, I am and today's secrets aren't helping.

Like above anon, reading in solitude. Recently, it was poetry, but varies a lot.

The occasional fashion-related hyperfocus. Sometimes it's makeup collecting (lol the wasted makeup, thanks pandemic), accessories, nails, hair, clothes. I love thrifting, actually.

Recently I got into (shopping for) interior decoration. Anything involving visual composition catches my interest. (Yeah, I was that kid who liked to draw and make cute graphics and shit.)

Studying random things. I randomly hyperfocus on different topics and can't get enough of them for a while. Self-care and health (from alternative medicine to biology) topics are frequent, which I probably learned to do as a survival skill ; ; ; also, cultures and languages, history, retro things ...

And I want to say "photography" but I only studied a bit ages ago, and I want to get back into it, update myself on techniques before getting a proper modern camera but am lacking the motivation. Hoping to get back into sewing, too.

... And I suppose podcasts and music are fandom-related so... (though I don't get involved in fandom for either.)

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

Cooking/baking (haven't been into for a few years, but I think I'm a decent cook/baker)

Clothes sorting/shopping; just got into dressing myself more fashionable/with more thought late last year. I'm a slow learner/poor, and I tend to go for cheaper clothes/2nd hand shopping, so my style evolution is a slow one.
Used to just buy comfy t-shirts (mostly fandom shirts) and jeans/sweats with a couple more "out there" pieces and just sort of dress around that.
I still wear jeans and tees but I put a lot more thought into how my jeans fit me and I sort of hate t-shirts now. They're comfy but I can never find a top that is what I'm looking for: mostly simple, long enough to cover my arms (an insecure area for me) comfortable (most are too short/tight and have a tendency to roll up; I also feel 3/4 sleeve tops are hard to find and sometimes I hate the look/feel of it on me...can't explain it lol), a shirt that isn't too long or too short (being plus size with an average torso makes this so fucking hard)
I think I can rant about every clothing item ever. LOL
It's been fun to think about my body shape and what sort of clothes and styles would best compliment features I like about my body. Found some fun YT videos on fashion and dressing for your body type a couple months ago, I think that's what has made this fun.

Skincare? I've got my routine down OK. Currently shopping for a daily face moisturizer. Have my toner and serum, have a couple sunscreens I like, have a night cream, but my face is feeling drier now so I think I need a daily face cream, toner and serum alone aren't enough. I don't do face/sheet masks as much anymore (wish I had time everyday to dedicate to moisturizing with a sheet mask tbh; is a nice relaxing 20~ minutes where I completely focus on miosturizing my body and face). I don't have great skin (far from) but it does feel nice and I don't break out as much as I used to (being in your 30s and still breaking out 😭), and people often tell me I look young (but I think a lot of that is genetics more than my skincare routine)

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

crossstich, blackwork embroidery, crochet, reading (although that goes into fandom)
my cats, definitely. also Lego and jugsaw puzzles

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Writing, gardening, astronomy.

Though I am shite at all three.

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Crocheting, larping, walking, table top RPGs and board games, low stress base town building sims (ok, Banished. Just Banished.)

Re: What are your non-fandom hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Hiking and exploring is probably my number one hobby. Outside of that, dog training, traveling, and running. Unfortunately, can't run anymore do to an ankle injury : (

Do you like puzzles?

[(Anonymous)]

If so, what kind? And are you good at them?

Re: Do you like puzzles?

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. I find them tedious.

What is the most intense reading experience you've ever had?

[(Anonymous)]

Can be anything - fic, novel, web comic. (Not personal texts, letters, or emails though, since that's kind of a whole different beast.)

Why am I like this...or petty vents

[(Anonymous)]

I'm walking down the street there's a guy -- pretty good looking. Now we've been walking (not in tandem, but we certainly meet at the corner before crossing the street) and me,me!!! I want to say something -- along the lines of I like your face, I'd smile but I have a mask on...etc. and what do I do??? Pretend he doesn't even exist. Wtf. Why am I like this. Just. ARRRRGHJHHJHFJLG.

I've done online dating apps, and I'm not a big fan, buy I will say at least the fact that both parties "swiped right" implied a mutual attraction. Sigh. And a smile is a good way to initiate or indicate interest (I mean sometimes I just smile at people bc I'm in a good mood, but a shy or cheeky smile can relay a bit more). But I can't do that with my mask on, and I'm still trying to figure out how to smile with full metal in my mouth without looking like a carnivorous machine.

Oh well. I'll take solace in imagining he was already married (which he should be so flattered) and that he's likely in a higher economic bracket than me based off the fact he seemed to be getting groceries in bunny/relaxed clothes you'd wear at home or while doing laundry, as we're in an expensive area. He could've aso been available,interested/curious, working at a restaurant nearby, but just didn't say anything. SIGH. lol.
