If you're interested in getting me bath or body items, I like scents which are fresh, like ginger and citrus. I also like spicy in small doses - clove, cinnamon, black pepper, that sort of thing. I can't do florals, and they tend to turn powdery on me. I can't stand 'powdery' scents. I'm allergic to rose and to cherry blossom. I really hate anything which smells sweet - whether it's supposed to smell sweet or not (too many lemon things are ruined that way, oi!). I like bath oils and salts - things which affect the texture of bathwater - but not so much bubbles or foams.
- Origins Ginger perfume, roll-on or spritzer
Sex Toys:
- replacement motor for Jimmy Jane Little Chroma
- Siri
- cane
- crop
Things I Still Want But Don't Have Space For Now:
- 2 big squishy cozy club chairs, one whiskey leather and one fabric (like this or this or the top row of these)
- 30" copper fire dish
- wooden flat file / tobacco/map cabinet (something like this or this or this (only larger))
- adjustable stool on wheels for massage work
- a big old bathtub
- cabinet / altar space

A note on Origins: I love Origins, and their Ginger is my scent - it's the perfume I wear most regularly. I love it, and have matched the scent palette of my other hygiene products to work with it. I'm intrigued by a few more of their products but haven't tried them yet - like the shampoo and the balm. Basically, I will be happy with anything you get from them which is Ginger, or anything which they recommend for someone with dry, sensitive skin, who is prone to a lazy skincare regime and needs to be whipped into shape. Additionally, please order any Origins products from the SoHo store at 212-219-9764. Melonie helped me there in May and was AMAZING, and they will ship. They also have my products on file.
