IridescentLily

Hello,

My name is Lily and I'm in my 30's. I live in Southern California.

In my area it is a hot climate most of the time, with very mild winters. There are a lot of date palm trees and golf courses. In the outskirts where golf courses haven't taken over, there is some desert left and the dunes are beautiful, scattered with purples of verbena and white desert primrose in the springtime. It doesn't rain too often but appreciated when it does, and the sage and creote bush smell wonderful after a rain. A lot of areas to hike nearby.

I love learning, it's easy for me to remember facts and things that interest me much.

I don't procrastinate and I anticipate everything before joining a swap.

I love to see beauty; in art, nature, in people. I love the fine arts.

I HAVE A KEURIG :) Always ready to try new ones!

I like hot tea and hot chocolates; strong coffees. Regular tea packets or hot chocolate/cocoa or abuelita packets are good too.

I like big tea cups, the wide open ones. Disney ones especially.

CANDY: I love milk chocolate but limit myself as I'm always doing low carb. Love peanut m&m's. It's really hot here in the summer any chocolate would melt.

COSMETIC BRANDS: Mac, Nars, Lip Fusion, Mostly high end from Sephora, Macy's or Ulta but love it when I find a drugstore product I like. Like to sample other brands.

TOILETRIES: I love handmade soaps and mini bath bombs that smell nice and lotions/body sprays or other toiletries handmade. I also buy store brand toiletries.
