hi! my name is lauren and i'm an 22 year old magical girl from the uk. i'm a kawaii addict who loves sweeties and candy. i love making jewelry & accessories; fairy kei & sweet lolita are my favourite fashions and i loooove the diy aspect of them! my favourite animals are bunnies and i am a small animal fosterer for the rspca. i love swapping things and getting things in the mail. if you've ever spoken to me, you know that i am addicted to anything and everything disney. me and my partner currently have disneyland paris annual passes and if i could i'd spend all day everyday at disney world in magic kingdom! it is one of my dreams to visit every disney park around the world. my phone is an iphone 6s in case you feel like sending me a phone case, i love changing mine around. i'm not picky as to if it's brand new but i really love anything cute - saves you throwing things away if you have a case you no longer need, right? my ears are also pierced so earrings are fine.

i like to be a generous swapper and often go out to buy my partner things i know they like, rather than sending things i already own... no wonder i'm poor! i think i'm a generous rater too, i will always contact someone first if i don't receive a swap, and let people make it up to me if they didn't fulfil the swap's requirements first time round... i also hand out a lot of hearts - it's prettty easy to impress me! private swaps are always awesome too - let's send each other things! ♪♀♥

also please put richard ayoade's face on everything bc i will love you forever

i am often not able to access swap-bot on the weekends as i do not have internet access at home.this may also mean swaps that have been sent out at any point from thursday - sunday may not be marked as sent until the following monday.

patent pending are my favouritestest band in the whole wide world! i doubt many of you have heard of them, but if anyone has, you are already my friend!!! i also love this good robot, the dollyrots, bowling for soup, decade, action item, take cover, people on vacation, simple plan, new found glory... those are probably my favourites, but i like pretty much everything! there will be at least one song in nearly every genre that i will enjoy, i'm not too picky. i'd say the only genre i really dislike is super heavy death/black metal. i'm also not particularly fond of hip-hop and grime, but there are always exceptions! my favourite genres are pop, pop punk, rock etc.

i currently have 2 scrapbooks on the go - they're more like smash books actually, as i really like every page to have a different theme and i use a lot of random things people would throw away in them, like receipts and train tickets. i'm nowhere near neat or organised enough to have a ~elegant~ scrapbook! i like drawing too, but i am not very good at all, i draw like an 8 year old ha... i've also started making zines and atcs and i love it!

i looove american candy, i live in the uk so i don't get a lot of it.. i love gummy and sour sweeties like sour patch kids (the uk ones aren't the same!) & gummy bears the most, but i like pretty much everything! i love chocolate too!
