I do some colouring books, it is something that I enjoy but don't do as often as I'd like.

Been having a lovely holiday so far. My friend's 40th birthday party yesterday was so much fun. Got my face painted for the first time in many years.

Cats (and other big cats), I also love all sorts of birds, bats, raccoons and snakes. And dogs.
Favourite mythical creature - probably a dragon.

Managed to sleep through both of my alarms this morning and then got woken up by the shuttle driver calling to say he was five minutes away.

Got a 6am flight tomorrow down to Wellington for my BBCFF's* 40th birthday this weekend.
I am excited for the trip and for the extra couple of days off work. Less stoked about how early the flight is.

I am a big fan of earrings. Prefer dangling ones or studs (I find hoops too fiddly) and am more into fun, creative designs than more classy stuff. Bonus points if from a local artist or small business (I'll set a reminder after my holiday to share a photo of some of my collection)

Going to move this question for #SecretSantaAoNZ forward a few days since it's come up.
What jewellery do you wear? Necklaces? Bracelets? Clip-ons or pierced earrings? Rings? Anklets? Arm bands? Gold? Silver? Pewter? Copper? Or plastic like Hoggle?

No allergies as far as I know. Not a fan of seafood though. #SecretSantaAoNZ
Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.

Pals in Tāmaki Makaurau, do you have hairdresser recommendations (preferably in the central city or nearby suburbs)? Have decided to get my hair cut short again, after three years growing it out.

Did my first bit of Christmas shopping from Pepper last night (plus a gift for myself, retail over the festive season is exhausting and stressy so I need treats too!)
I love buying gifts for people from artists and local creatives - gives me the warm fuzzies all around.

I never do sales, but I'm doing a big Christmas sale this year! Shop #kikorangi local, support an artist, and give unique gifts that always hit with their recipient!
Get in and snag bundle deals, marked down tees, and restocked items that were previously sold out: pepperraccoon.com/collections/...

Sadly I don't have any pets (renting and in a small apartment), though I really want cats. Hoping the next place we move to is pet friendly.
#SecretSantaAoNZ is a great chance to get to know not only your future Santee but also everyone else taking part. I will be posting up questions you can reply to or quote to help with sleuthing.
(PS photos for this particular question are always appreciated)

Dentist appointment tomorrow morning since I have an awful toothache. It has been a while since my last dental appointment and I know I need to make a plan for future dental stuff because my teeth are super messed up.
