  Yes! I wouldn’t be a chemist otherwise!
  I like using most of all solutions of metals (like iron chloride or cobalt chloride). They’re brightly coloured and it brightens up my day to use them! One very nice chemical I used is holmium chloride – under the lights in the lab it’s about skin colour, but under different lights it changes to a bright pink colour!
  I also like experimenting with chemicals in the kitchen and making different foods – cookery is only applied chemistry after all!
