Three New Potions for the Struggling Debutante!
Even with the delayed start to the seasons, at this point one is likely to know whether they are or are not well suited to the life of a debutante. For those who are, the season is a wonderful thing. You thrive at the balls, parties, dinners, and various other events. Even more fortunate, you are far more likely to have captured a husband quicker. For those who aren't, the season is quite a bit more of a struggle. From those who don't quite know what to wear or those who just seem to not know what to say or say a bit too much, the season - even if the idea of what it entails sounds quite lovely - becomes a drag. Which, in turn, threatens your chances of finding a well-secured marriage as soon as possible.

For those of you who struggle during the season and do not fancy a life of spinsterhood, and even those who don't but see nothing wrong with just a little bit of extra luck, we at Witch Weekly have compiled a list of three new potions to help you at you new social event!

Draught of Grace
A common issue in young debutante is the distinct lack of grace. Whether the girl is naturally clumsy or simply is uneasy in the social scene and therefore uncomfortable in her actions, the Draught of Grace is for her! Designed to last for roughly 12 hours, the Draught of Grace allows the drinker's actions to become far more graceful in nature making her seem more appealing and comfortable.

1. In a moderately heated potion base, combine the juice of a handful of boom berries.
2. Add in one and a half finely crushed billywig wings.
3. Stir counter-clockwise, three times and one way clockwise.
4. Mix in seven scruples of fluxweed.
5. Allow to set until the temperature cools to that of the room.
6. Mix in one ashwinder egg.
7. Wave wand over the potion and let rest overnight.

Makes one does, stores up to a month.

Ingredient ratio is critical for the desired effect. Overuse and incorrect ratios have been known to cause uncontrollable floating. Ashwinder eggs are flammable so handle with care.

Dacing Legs Potion
Dancing tends to be a large proportion of many social events and it is one of the prime ways for women to meet men. Anyone who either struggles at the skill set of dancing knows the dread of having a man sign her card, only to know she'll just disappoint him when the time came to dance. Or just simply if she just doesn't like to dance. Dancing Legs Potion takes over the motion of your legs for the duration of a dance leaving your mind free to focus on other things. As it doesn't rely on your skill level, you'll be sure to impress everyone!

1. In your standard potion base, heated to high, add in 15 spider legs.
2. Stir clockwise four times.
3. When potion turns a shade of dark purple, add three moondew petals and four rose petals.
4. Let boil for fifteen minutes.
5. Add three billywig wings.
6. Wave wand over the potion.

Makes ten doses, stores for up to a week.

Potion last roughly the length of the average waltz - actual time may vary from user to user. Incorrect ratios or overuse could cause uncontrolled floating, non-stop dancing, and other less common things.

Elixar to Reduce Shyness
One of the largest struggles of the girl who is not at natural gifted at the art of social events is competing with those who are. Being shy can really make it difficult to put oneself out there in the proper ways. A little bit of confidence can go a long way in helping a girl leave the lasting impressions she desires.

1. In a moderately heated potion base add three grinder ashwinder eggshells.
2. Stir counter-clockwise seven times.
3. Add an alihotsy petal to the potion and heat for an hour.
4. Mix in a pinch of ground dragon claw.
5. Combine four sprigs of peppermint to the caudron.
6. Leave to simmer until a light pink color forms.
7. Add a piece of wiggentree bark.
8. Wave wand over the potion and let sit for another hour.

Makes two doses, stores for up to a month.

Ashwider eggs are flammable, use with caution. Overusage or incorrect brewing of the potion may the inability to stop talking, the loss of voice, or uncontrolled laughter.
