PERSONAL CARE

Favorite scents for lotions? I like fruity or citrus scents. I also like lavender. Most lotions do not irritate my skin, but I do have very sensitive skin and many allergies.
Do you paint your nails? What tones? I'll occasionally paint my nails though with work it is often futile, but, when I do, I like bright colors -- pinks, funky colors, and the like. Since I can't often paint my finger nails, I do paint my toes and like them bright and cheery. But, for my fingers, I prefer neutral tones.
Do you prefer bath or shower products? I'm very sensitive to bath and shower products and have a lot of allergies so, while I do use them, it would be difficult for someone to buy them for me.
What scents do you like best? Again, I like fruit and citrus scents along with coconut.
Do you use hair ties, barrettes/hair-slides, etc.? Yes, I am a big hair tie, barrette, head band person. But, I usually need things that will hold my thick hair. It's just about shoulder length and not too long, but I do wear hair bands and ties all the time.

If your SS is from overseas, is there anything special you would like them to include? I think they should be the judge of that.
Are there any scents (candles/perfume/etc) that should be avoided due to allergies? I don't like anything that's too strong or clinical smelling. I prefer light scents to strong, over-powering ones.

What size shirt do you wear? I'm not a t-shirt kind of person, but, if I did wear a tee, I prefer them REALLY large so I can sleep in them or wear them around the house. In that case, 3XL or more. I'm teensy, but like them big.

How many animals do you have? What kind (cats, dogs, etc!) Tell us a little about their favorite toys/treats! I have 4 cats, 2 dogs (a fox terrier and rat terrier mix) and a cockatiel. They love all kinds of toys and treats. The more indestructable the toy for the dogs, the better. And, for the cats, they're big on catnip. I like bigger toys for the cats so the dogs don't choke or get into them, but, really, anything goes.
Does your pet (s) have any allergies to certain foods/treats that should be avoided? Thank God, we have no allergies presently.
Are there any kind of cat toys that should be avoided? (i.e. feathers, string, noisy toys that scare kitty...) Again, thankfully, we don't have too many limitations. I like thinks a little sturdier and not too small so that the dogs can't destroy them or, worse, choke. But, aside from that, they like anything.
Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? My kitties wear either breakaway collars or beastie bands.
What kind(s) of brush or comb do you have for your cats and/or dogs? I have a gazillion brushes and combs for the cats and dogs.
