Day 2 of meme

This one is going to be harder, but here goes. 

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

1)  I love chocolate.  I love chocolate things.  The sweeter the better, though dark chocolate is awesome as well.  Actually, I just love sweet things. 

2)  I have to shower every day. If I don't I feel like my skin is crawling and filthy, even if it isn't.  Sometimes I shower in the morning and bathe in the evening.  Seriously, I have to shower.  I get grumpy if I don't. 

3)  I love Sherlock Holmes.  It is my go-to fandom right now, and I've loved it since I was a kid.  Being an adult I see things I missed, and love it even more every time I reread the books.

4)  I crochet.  Not the best at it, but I like to sit down in the winter with a favorite movie and just crochet until my wrists hurt. 

5)  I have a weakness for pajamas.  They are one of my kryptonites. If you ever go shopping with me, do not let me go into the sleepwear department.

6)  Lotions are my other weakness.  I collect them like some women collect shoes.  I have about 20 bottles in my bathroom, and use them all, rotating through them.  I need help, don't I? 

7)  I am self conscious about my looks.  I try not to be, but I feel vulnerable and naked if I don't wear makeup outside the flat.  Or when meeting friends.

8)  I'm lazy.  I work hard, but I also love just lazying around, puttering around the flat. 

9)  I don't ever want to have kids.  The very thought of having a baby is repulsive to me.  But I do enjoy babies and little kids, to an extent. I just don't understand them the way a lot of people do.

I have to shower/bathe twice a day. Don't feel clean otherwise!

Yes, exactly! When I get home from work I usually bathe, to help relax and to get rid of the work germs, lol. And if I don't shower in the morning I can't focus, because I feel filthy.

I like the look of this meme and may just have to have a go at it myself! :)

I love lotions and potions as well, but unfortunately I have to be really careful because I have such sensitive skin! Still, the coconut and lemongrass lotion I currently use it pretty darn good!

I'm lucky in that the skin on my arms and legs isn't too sensitive, but my face is another matter entirely. If have to be very careful with the makeup and cleanser I buy, otherwise I get a rash and blisters. No fun!

Do you have Bath and Body Works? I can't remember. They have amazing lotions that are for sensitive skin, so if want to indulge once in a while, they may have something that you can use.

(Let's ignore how delayed this comment is, shall we? :P)

I don't think we have Bath and Body Works but we do have The Body Shop - pricey but so far I've found that all their stuff is okay for my skin. I got some candied ginger body butter in the sale the other day and it is absolutely gorgeous!
