You might be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Well, it isn’t much of a poll. It’s more just a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past four years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mini or maxi dresses?
Minis. I always feel like a kid playing dress-up when I wear maxi dresses. Plus, I’ve yet to find one that I can wear off the rack without having to get it hemmed first.Ah, the trials and tribulations of barely being five feet tall/short…
- What’s one of the keys to happiness for you?
Always remembering that I have a say in the matter — whatever the matter may be. I can either choose to look on the bright side of things, or not.Of course, this doesn’t always work, but it’s usually worth the try.
- What’s your take on big jewelry?
I like statement pieces in moderation, like, I think that a single large cocktail ring, a pair of chandelier earrings or a bib necklace can look great…but maybe not all at the same time (which is what a part of me wants to wear). - How do you feel about wearing scarves in spring (and on cool days in summer)?
Yes! I’m there. Scarves for all occasions. A lightweight scarf can jazz up any outfit, even a simple tank top and jeans or a summer dress. Add hoops and bright sandals, and I’m good. 🙂 - Has anyone ever thrown you a surprise birthday party?
Nope (hint-hint). - When was the last time you visited your childhood home?
Yesterday. My mom and dad hosted Easter Sunday lunch for me, El Hub, my brother and his girlfriend. They also extended the invite to Tabs…but he was busy and had to decline (haha!).A good time was had by all, and I ate way too much fried food…
- Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, ______.
Shut your mouth, take a deep breath, and wait five minutes (unless it’s a life/death emergency) before you respond. - Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items??
Yes…but in my defense, I really thought those 10 separate cans of Gravy Lover’s Friskies would count as one item. I mean, they were all the same chicken and giblets flavor. - Are you left- or right-handed?
Right-handed for most things, except driving (when I’m chillaxing and driving with just one hand on the wheel). - A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like?
Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Gel, because it’s been soothing an area on my chin after a breakout.
To complete the Monday Poll, just copy the following list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

Spring: OK-ish. Summer: not cool.
5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party?
Yes!
6. When was the last time you visited your childhood home?
Never! When growing up, my parents had to move a lot due to their job, so there’s not really a place that I can call “childhood home”. I think that is a GREAT thing, though, it made me really unattached to the past! 🙂
7. Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, ______.
look online!
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items??

By the way, Karen, you totally got me with your April Fool’s joke this year! I was like, wow, that’s so cool she got to meet Ryan Gosling, AND it’s great he’s got such a good sense of humor to name a fragrance after all the “Hey Girl” memes. LOL.
1. Mini or maxi dresses?
Of the two, totally mini dresses. I have so much passionate hate for maxi dresses. I would never wear one in a million years. Same goes for long skirts. If it touches the ground (or gets close to it), I want nothing to do with it.
2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you?
I take a positive spin on nearly everything that happens. I’m like walking optimism. You can always find something good in (nearly) anything.
3. What’s your take on big jewelry?
I definitely don’t hate it like I do maxi dresses. 😉
4. How do you feel about wearing scarves in spring (and on cool days in summer)?
I’m totally cool with it. Especially if it’s a silk scarf, rather than a thick wool, knitted scarf.
5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party?
Twice! Once for my 6th birthday and once for my 18th. It’s funny that I’d have so many since I hate surprises. I think the worst thing about surprise parties is the apathy that everyone has to give you beforehand, to keep up the surprise. I remember for my 18th I would talk to my friends and be like, “Wanna do something for my birthday?” and they were like, “meh. I have other things going on,” and I thought “darn, I hope I have a surprise party. Otherwise, I really need a new group of friends.”
6. When was the last time you visited your childhood home?
That’s tough. I consider the apartment I lived in from 6 to 17 the “place I grew up,” and I drove through the complex last time I was in town last year.
7. Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, ______.
dance it out!
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items??
No way. I’m a stickler for the rules.
9. Are you left- or right-handed?
Right-handed! I call it my “main hand.”
10. A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like?
The Essie 3-Way Glaze. That beats all other base/top coats.
Mini or maxi dresses? Maxi, I can’t pull off mini with my figure.
Keys to happiness? Enjoy the little things of life, things of everyday. Like sunshine, a laugh, the last silly thing your little one did, a good desert…
My take on big jewelry? One piece can look great if the rest of your outfit is plain and simple.
Wearing scarves in spring? Not a fan. I’d rather wear a sweater.
Surprise birthday party? Never.
Last time I went to my childhood home? Last summer.
1. Mini or maxi dresses? Maxi dresses! While it can be difficult to find one that won’t drag on the floor for me, they just scream summer and they’re so much fun to wear.
2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you? Knowing that you are in charge of your own happiness and sometimes you need to be the catalyst to make it all happen (currently in the process of that right now…)
3. What’s your take on big jewelry? Definitely liking statement jewelry. I do believe it’s all about balance and just having one statement piece at a time.
4. How do you feel about wearing scarves in spring (and on cool days in summer)? YES PLEASE. Now that I’ve really gotten into the swing of crocheting, I’m working on some cute light pieces for the warmer seasons 😀
5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party? Yes, but when I was really young- like kindergarten young! I’d like a surprise birthday party again though…
6. When was the last time you visited your childhood home? Hmmmm well I did drive near it yesterday. I used to live reeaaaallllyyy close to the church I go to so, whenever I go to church, I know my childhood house is like a minute away.
7. Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, ______. Fake it till you make it!
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items?? Oh, I’m sure I have. It’ll usually only be one or two items over and just play it off like “Oh nooooo I must have miscounted…” and hope it’s okay XP
9. Are you left- or right-handed? Right-handed! But it would be so awesome to be ambidextrous.
10. A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like? The Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream! It’s lightweight yet leaves my face so dewy without feeling greasy. It was recently recommended to me by a Sephora worker because I was looking for a good spring/summer face cream.
1. Mini or maxi dresses?
For myself, neither. Not a dress person at all.
2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you?
Accepting people for who they are. When you start thinking that things will be great if only someone would change, you’re on the way to misery.
3. What’s your take on big jewelry?
Love it! I’m never drawn to dainty, delicate earrings or necklaces. I love a bold earring or a big pendant.
4. How do you feel about wearing scarves in spring (and on cool days in summer)?
Love the look of scarves, no matter the season.
5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party?
Yes, and I almost didn’t go there. A few years ago a friend of mine threw me a surprise party, and another friend was in charge of getting me over to her house. Well, I thought we were doing something else entirely and was getting more and more cranky as to why we kept stalling, doing other things, and then having to go pick up the friend I thought we were meeting somewhere (the one throwing the party). I was so irritated and annoyed that even when I entered my friend’s house and there were decorations everywhere, and a half dozen of my friends sitting in the living room, it didn’t sink in.
6. When was the last time you visited your childhood home?
A few years ago. I ended up driving right by it because whoever had bought it from my Mom had it painted an entirely different color and put in a new fence in the front yard, so I didn’t recognize it!
7. Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, ______.
Go with your gut.
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items??
I don’t think so, unless the cashier called me over to that line.
9. Are you left- or right-handed?
I’m a righty.
10. A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like?
Nuance Daily Resurfacing Pads. Seriously amazing stuff. I may never use a scrub again.
(sorry the second part is here)
7. Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, don’t say a thing.
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items?? Yea, with maybe 11 or 12 items.
9. Are you left- or right-handed? Right-handed, but apparently I do some things like a left-handed person.
10. A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like? Nothing comes to mind. But I’d say I recently discovered I can pull off dark lipstick very well.

2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you? Taking me-time out.
3. What’s your take on big jewelry? Not for me, I feel ridiculous in it. I don’t have pierced ears, and the only jewelry I wear is usually subtle.

Happy April, Karen and Tabs!
1. Mini or maxi dresses?
Maxi… they look hot, yet cover varicose veins and cellulite…what’s not to love!
2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you?
Enough sleep. When I’m cranky, it’s usually because I’m tired.

Love it! In moderation. One piece at a time.

Feel the fear and do it anyways.

L’Oreal’s glossy-stain lipsticks… great colors and they feel fantastic!

2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you? Penguins.

5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party? No. Probably because I would kill them. (I do not like surprises.)

2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you?
Chocolate, and relaxation.
3. What’s your take on big jewelry?
Nothing too big, or it just overwhelms you (unless you’re super tall).

It’s mostly too hot here for that, but it’s a great garment to stuff in your bag for when it gets cool in the evenings.
5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party?
No 🙁
6. When was the last time you visited your childhood home?
I went back to New Orleans last year for Mardi Gras, but no childhood home. We were always in rentals, so there’s no particular place I grew up.
7. When in doubt, make a pro-con list.
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items??
Maybe if I had like 11 or 12 items, and the alternative was to stand behind someone with a whole cartful.
9. Are you left- or right-handed?
Right-handed.
10. A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like?
MAC Eyebrows!
Happy Monday! 🙂
1. Mini or maxi dresses? It’s sort of a toss up. I like the mini because it’s not as restrictive if you have to burst into a sprint (not tripping over it) but the maxi is better for coverage (and not having to keep your legs crossed). If I had to choose between the two, I’d choose sweatpants. 😉
2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you? Getting enough sleep. I’m hella cranky without it!
3. What’s your take on big jewelry? I’m not a fan of wearing it because it feels awkward/in the way. It looks great on some people though and I never tire of telling my friend she looks like the Green Lantern when she wears her chunky, green, pimp-looking ring.
4. How do you feel about wearing scarves in spring (and on cool days in summer)? I think people who wear scarves always look a bit classier than the rest of us and would encourage you to wear one whenever you wanted.
5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party? Not that I remember. I always get together with friends but I’m pretty sure I’ve always known in advance and it’s not technically a party.
6. When was the last time you visited your childhood home? Yesterday. We went to pick up the ham after church.
7. Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, ______. ask someone wiser…. or google it!
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items?? Absolutely not and I make sure to glare accusingly at people who do (kidding, but I really haven’t – I’m quite rule-abiding).
9. Are you left- or right-handed? Right. I think the lefty thing in the car is because it’s more comfy to rest your left arm on the door’s arm rest. Also, if you learned to drive stick when you were young (like me) then you get used to steering with the left. 🙂
10. A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like? I know I’m like broken-record-ville, but Becca Beach Tints.
1. Mini or maxi dresses? I actually haven’t worn a dress since elementary school! But if I had to choose, I’d take the mini. Maxis probably wouldn’t look good on my body type. I don’t have the greatest legs either, but it’d be more flattering to wear a mini.
2. What’s one of the keys to happiness for you? Music! I have to work on my voice and try arranging things on my own constantly, for my own sake and for the glee club I created at my college.
3. What’s your take on big jewelry? I’m not too much of a fan of those big statement pieces. I once wore a big ring and it looked ridiculous. I like the more smaller, delicate pieces!
4. How do you feel about wearing scarves in spring (and on cool days in summer)? I’ve never worn a scarf before. I think they’d look good as long as they were bright, fun colors! And if they were thin, too (can’t be wearing a big ol’ hunk of fabric out in the heat).
5. Has any one ever thrown you a surprise birthday party? Nope, never. Not even a regular non-surprise birthday party.
6. When was the last time you visited your childhood home? I still live here. Been living here for 19 years!
7. Complete the following sentence: when in doubt, ______. When in doubt, wing it – you’re bound to get something out of it.
8. Have you ever gone through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store with more than 10 items?? Yes, but only because it’s my mother’s fault. I feel so embarrassed when we get to the line with 15 items.
9. Are you left- or right-handed? I’m right handed. I tried to teach myself to write and do things with my left but it didn’t work out so well.
10. A beauty product you recently discovered that you really like? I discovered that I really like BB creams. Well, drugstore BB creams. Well, Maybelline at that. I never thought of myself to like face products that aren’t a blush or bronzer.
