six unimportant things about me ...

Gina from Gingerbread and Christy from Sweet Tidings have tagged me with this one.

Thing no 1.
I can't wear earrings, any metal earrings. My ears are completely allergic to them!



Thing no 2.
I only really like eating cheese if it is grated or melted or if it is cubed with a piece of pineapple on a stick!



Thing no 3.
I paint my toenails, but not my fingernails!



Thing no 4.
I don't like Monkey Puzzle Trees. Apologies now if you have one!



Thing no 5.
I love all lemon products and will choose them over anything else. A real treat for me is Bronnley Lemon Soap and L'Occitaine Lemon Verbena handcream. I just can't get enough of the smell!



Thing no 6.
I always carry smelling salts with me in my bag. I take a whiff if I come over a bit dizzy. I learned this clever trick from my Mum!


For those who haven't yet done this tag, you know who you are? Go on have a go!

Hi Louise,

Thanks for joining the tag!

It seems we have a lot in common! I'm allergic to metal earrings too but I can wear gold earrings with no allergic reactions! I think its alloyed metals that cause reactions.

I always bring with me medicated chinese balm (tiger balm) for dizziness. I never leave home without it.It's like my security blanket hehehe.

I love lemon products too! Why do you dislike monkey puzzle trees? I remember as a child we were told never to speak as we walked past a monkey puzzle tree as it was bad luck!

Cool factoids! I never even heard of a Monkey Puzzle Tree until now, but I might like it just on the strength of the name! Are they messy or something? I had to have smelling salts applied once, after marching in a parade on a very hot night in a wool uniform...Anyhow, I'll play if you like! I've put up 6 unimportant things about me at my blog, if you'd like to come over.

love cheese and pineapple on sticks - poor monkey trees. We had 2 in the park which are 100 years old but last bonfire night some idiots set one afire and it had to be chopped down :-(

Thanks for playing Louise..lots of fun..I also love lemon, but lime is my favourite.. especially in soaps and handcream.. I haven't come across the monkey puzzle tree before but it's name is intriguing!
When I was 13 and playing in a tree stump I tripped and a large stake was imbedded in my shin! Had a 40 min drive for help and can remember having smelling salts shoved up my nose to stop me passing out!

Spooky Louise... more proof of our twinning..
I can't wear earrings..make me itch..
I wear nail varnish on toes not fingers..
I hate monkey puzzle trees... always have..fnd them ugly and menacing..
I love Bronnley lemon soaps and my beloved bought me a box of them when we visited Wisley..
Smelling salts.. mmm.... no not for me but I do carry lavender oil for sniffing and my nerves!

Hey, we have some things in common: I too paint only my toenails (I favour green polish with sparkles over top) AND I am not partial to the Monkey Puzzle. The fact that I have two in my yard at the moment is something we won't discuss (treesitting for friends).

My son and I want more than anythin gin the world to have a monkey puzzle tree in our garden!
.
Toes always look pretty with varnish on them... those tows there look very pretty and relaxed. :o)

Wonderful TAG! Lemon's my fav too, part of so called weight loss programme, which is unsuccessful most of the time hahahaha

happy weekend :)

Hi Louise, great tag, funny about the monkey tree, I've never really thought about whether I like them. I might not have any more piano stools but there are plenty more makeovers waiting in the wings!
Have a lovely weekend,

Deb said...

Fun tag Louise. I love the scent of Lemon too. Hope you are having a good Sunday.

great tag...love the smae lemon products...Hey your a winner on my giveaway...

Chelle said...

I only paint my toe nails too. I can't stand having color on my finger nails, and I hate how it chips within a day. That's funny about the lemon smelling items and smelling salts. I don't think I have ever seen smelling salts.

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...

Fun facts about you,Louise! I too would like to know why the monkey puzzle tree is not liked by you? I never even heard of it before!

Lemon is a fabulous scent -- I love lavender too.

Happy Sunday!

Smelling salts - really? As for grated, melted, or cubed cheese - I like them that way, too :-) Cute post, Louise.

Kris said...

Spooky how we are all so alike, huh? I can't do earrings either. Not even gold ones. I also can't do necklaces or rings. Lemon is my favourite too!
