Shinianen

I have a young son who basically consumes my free time. Prior to having him, I was a half marathoner and fitness enthusiast... but for now, I don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to working out, and keep my focus on teaching group fitness for my local Community Education program.

Favorite color: purple, though I love color in general (and lots of it).

I went to college for Chinese language, though I'm not of Chinese descent.

I’m not a Disney super fan but I do secretly love the Small World ride. I also love tall boots, dresses, and long necklaces. I have an odd fascination with coo coo clocks - now that I think about it, maybe that’s why I secretly crush on Small World???

I prefer not to receive editable items, lotions, lip balms, scented candles and the like.

If you peek at my Reddit posts, you'll see I'm some what of a cross stitch maniac. If you are a similar artisan of some skill, I would love to receive something in your range of expertise as part of my gift. I especially like oddities that would fit into my Halloween display (I love apothecary stuff, but also have a general collection of odd things for my mantel): https://www.reddit.com/r/halloween/comments/itkwx0/i_finally_perfected_my_mantle_display/

I love to hear about good things done for good people who are down on their luck. I'm into animal friendly groups. I also like anything that supports LGBTQ or other at risk people (mental health, etc.) - especially if youth oriented. Note that I prefer to stay away from religious based charities.

PS: Go Badgers! :-)
