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.
- Flip-flops or Crocs?
Slippahs, brah! And not just any ol’ flip-flops, because I only wear Reefs. They’re super squishy and mold to your feet after you’ve worn them for a bit. Like walking on fluffy clouds, ahhh! My friend Cindy introduced me to them years ago, and now I can’t wear anything else. - Do you like to drive fast?
No. No. Wave “hi” to me as you zip by me in the slow lane driving like a granny. I have no desire to break speed limits. It doesn’t do anything for me. - Have you ever broken your nose?
Nope (*knocks on wood*). - Can you remember the last time you slept outside?
Gosh, it’s been a long time. Last time was over 10 years ago, I think, when I visited a friend in Montana. Big surprise, I’m not really a “let’s sleep in the wilderness for fun!” kinda person. I lurve mattresses and climate control and indoor plumbing. Plus, whenever I do go camping or sleep outside, somehow I always manage to pick a spot that has lots of little rocks that I don’t feel until I’m trying to fall asleep. - Peplum tops?
Yeah, I think they can be really cute with skinny jeans or shorts. I don’t have one yet, but I want one. - Are you a pink kinda gal/guy?
Sure am! I like all shades of pink, but hot pink is probably my favorite for makeup, clothing and accessories. - I would be the world’s worst ____.
Bus driver. I mean, I can barely drive my Mazda! Plus, I can’t imagine having to be responsible for a huge vehicle that can’t do u-turns, has no side visibility and is filled with people who aren’t wearing seat belts. Oh, and driving that thing in the rain? No thanks.I’m also pretty sure I’d be the world’s worst cop. “But I didn’t do anything, officer!” My answer: “Ok, I believe you.”
- How’s your summer going so far?
It’s been really good. June flew by, didn’t it? I’m looking forward to a few trips this month and August. I’m going to La Jolla in San Diego for a surf trip with Cindy (the gal I mentioned earlier who introduced me to Reefs), up to Redding to visit El Hub’s family, and then to Kauai in August. - A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for?
Chanel Candy Glow Aqualumiere — the perfect pinkish peach gloss. - Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you?
I’ll take a Venti iced green tea, extra sweet, please.
To complete the Monday Poll, just copy the following list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you?
Iced Hibiscus green coffee cooler! Yum! I’m drinking one now!

– Erm, no *Touch wood*
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside?
– Haven’t done that yet, must be my OCD! 😛
5. Peplum tops?
– No. Makes me look like some walking lampshade. I just don’t have the build/body for it I guess.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy?
– The occasional pink is fine. I’m not a very girly girl 🙁
7. I would be the world’s worst ____.
– cleaner. Though I am OCD and can do the job very very well when I do, I have sinus problems that get in the way of cleaning so I have to keep it minimal sadly.

Yep, I love pink!
7. I would be the world’s worst ____.
Sales person. I’m really not a people person.
8. How’s your summer going so far?
It’s been okay. We’ve had some showings for our house, but no offers yet, so that’s been a bit frustrating. It would be nice to get it sold
9. . A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for?
Can’t think of one off the top of my head.
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you?
A vanilla iced coffee, with extra vanilla and whipped cream!
Have a great Monday! I’m so glad there is a holiday this week. I’m looking forward to having some time off work.
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Flip-flops, please! I love Reef and Merrell! Unless it’s really cold or windy, I usually wear flip flops all year round (San Diego spoils me).
2. Do you like to drive fast? Hahaha no. My friends all make fun of me for sticking to the speed limit. The only time I drive fast is if it’s a family emergency or I’m running late for something important.
3. Have you ever broken your nose? Nope. I’ve somehow managed to not break any bones despite being a ridiculously clutzy person (e.g. falling flat on my face for no apparent reason while crossing the street… but I managed not to spill my frozen yogurt!)
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? Probably 10 years ago when I was in 6th grade for camp? Now that it really counts, I guess… I’m honestly not an outdoorsy type. I’ve fallen even more in love with my mattress and cushy pillows. Plus things that go bump in the night WILL freak me out!
5. Peplum tops? Sure, they’re adorable!
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? My feelings for pink have been in flux for a while but I’ve recently rediscovered my like for it. I’m more of a different shades of blue gal, to be honest, but coral pink is pretty gorgeous!
7. I would be the world’s worst ____. … anything requiring to be serious or graceful for long periods of time… I mean, I know you can’t be silly 24/7 and you need that “professional persona” from time to time but I can’t help it! I’m easily amused and prone to big bursts of laughter. So no intimidation positions, I guess.
8. How’s your summer going so far? Lovely! I’ve been kinda busy with a whole switching of plans to pursue public health instead of pharmacy, but I’ve finally reached a place where it’s under control (for now). I hope to make more plans with friends to really enjoy this summer since it’s the first summer in FOREVER that I don’t have school or expecting to go to school in the Fall. But plenty of happy crocheting and baking in the meantime. (P.S. Ahhhh! That’s so cool that you’ll be going to La Jolla soon! I was just there in early June to celebrate my bestie’s birthday!)
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for? Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque. I never got the opportunity to try it but I always wish I had… I’m still on the hunt for a beautiful red lip color!
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? I’m in the mood for an iced green tea latte! That sounds like a tasty way to start the week 😀
1. Flip-flops, totally. Except when I run, I practically live in my flip-flops all summer if I have to wear shoes at all.
2. It has a certain thrill, I will admit. However, I generally avoid speeding as it annoys me when other people do it and I have no desire to get in trouble.
3. Nope.
4. About 4 years ago, I was avoiding something I’d changed my mind about doing, and so to forget about that window of time, I took a blanket out to the back yard and fell asleep (not hard to do as I hadn’t slept the night before).
5. I had to google Peplum top. Sad. Anyway, I think they are cute.
6. I love pink! I used to not really care for it, and then I realized I was in denial.
7. I would be the world’s worst….valet. I can barely park my own car nicely.
8. So far, my summer is going well, but flying by fast! It seems like it was only last week that school let out, and now it is July.
9. Too Faced’s LE Summer 2012 Palette. Such cute colors!
10. A tall Iced Caramel Macchiato sounds lovely, thank you.
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Flip flops.
2. Do you like to drive fast? Sort of?
3. Have you ever broken your nose? No.
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? June 2nd
5. Peplum tops? Not for me.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? Yes
7. I would be the world’s worst ____. executioner? I can’t handle other people’s pain.
8. How’s your summer going so far? Kind of rough, but I have high hopes for improvement.
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for? Revlon Moisturous Lipcolor in Wine Splash. My favorite red of all time, discontinued.
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? Mocha Coconut Frappucino please.
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Flip-flops! I could never even consider Crocs, they’re just too ugly!
2. Do you like to drive fast? On the highway yes, I’m still very careful. I don’t mind driving slow if necessary.
3. Have you ever broken your nose? No, hope it never happens.
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? You mean outside with the stars?! I wanna say yes but honestly I don’t. I remember sleeping in a tent in a friend’s backyard about 6 years ago.
5. Peplum tops? Pretty, not on me. Can be very flattering with the appropriate skirt. It’s not the type of thing you can wear with everything. Basically it’s just a pain!
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? Oh Yea! Neon pink is my fav in the summer. I love baby/pastel pink on my nails though.
7. I would be the world’s worst packer. I just can’t do it right! It would be packed, yea sure… just not the nice-looking, organized, clean way.
8. How’s your summer going so far? Very very very BUSY. I’d kill little furry animals if it got me 15 hours of sleep! Or 3 days without leaving the house and nothing to do besides sleeping, eating and watching TV.
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for? OMG I can’t even start to tell you how many beauty products that I LOVED got discontinued. I wonder sometimes if the beauty world is not plotting against me. Benefit used to have a great body scrub that I loved, L’Occitane had also a great one with honey and lemon… all gone! And the list goes on and on…
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? First things first, let there be a Starbucks where I leave! Please please please…
Actually the last time I slept outside was during a road trip 6 years ago, we spent a few days in Canada, near Victoria. It was really wild and beautiful, by the beach, forest full of bears apparently although we didn’t meet any. We couldn’t take a shower for 2 days and it was the worst feeling EVER. Sleeping outside has to be an activity with rules!
1. Flip-flops or Crocs?
Flip flops. I have never had Crocs and probably never will 🙂
2. Do you like to drive fast?
I don’t really drive. I mean I have a Polish driving license, I haven’t got mine in the US yet (I should have got it years ago…) and I am kinda scared of driving.
3. Have you ever broken your nose?
No. I have never had anything broken.
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside?
I don’t think I ever have.
5. Peplum tops?
They are very cute but I have never tried one on so I am not sure if it’d look good on me. Although there is this one top on Macy’s.com that is blue with black lace and I am really tempted to order it.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy?
Absolutely! There was a time in my life when most of my clothes were pink. I still like it, especially in make up or nail polish.
7. I would be the world’s worst ____. That’s a tough one, I am usually quite good at things I commit to so if I picked something as a career I think I’d be just fine.
8. How’s your summer going so far?
So far it’s flying by! Nothing too exciting going on and I don’t have any trips planned unfortunately. Looking forward to my sister in law’s wedding next week though.
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for?
Hmm, I cannot think of anything right now.
Happy July! It’s a big day for me cause I officially hit 20 lbs of weight loss. I am really excited 🙂
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you?
An iced coffee with skim milk, please!
Le List
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Flip flops all the way – I would love to burn Crocs. I’m not seeing the appeal of them.
2. Do you like to drive fast? Mostly. Not as fast as my brother. But I don’t know anyone who wants to drive as fast as my brother.
3. Have you ever broken your nose? No thank the Lord (*knocks on wood*)
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? Oh…umm….no. I’m gonna go with never. But I would try it. Unless falling asleep in a hammock on the beach counts cuz then it would be 9 years ago.
5. Peplum tops? Cute! Don’t have one but I think I could rock it
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? Yes! Funny thing was I never used to be. Nothing frilly or pink could come near me. Nothing frilly can come near me still but I have an addiction to pink – pink yoga mat, pink water bottle, pink phone case, pink polishes…see where I’m going with this?
7. I would be the world’s worst ____. Accountant…frankly anything dealing with math in any sense. I’m hopeless at it.
8. How’s your summer going so far? Pretty good. I can’t complain. There’s been beaching and partying and relaxing all around.
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for? Bath and Body Works Vanilla Noir body wash, lotion and spray. It was my ULTIMATE vanilla scented product – absolutely perfect…and they discontinued it. I’m actually almost out of it which is making me sad. All other vanilla scented products I’ve found are too strong and make me sneeze while others are very faint and don’t last long on the skin. BBW’s Vanilla Noir was perfecto 🙁
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? Oh I haven’t been to Starbucks in so long I wouldn’t know what to get. Surprise me!
Have a great weekend Beauties!!
*I meant WEEK…Have a great WEEK & 4th of July to those who are in the States* (obviously i’m already ready for the weekend LOL)
Girl I feel you on the Vanilla Noir. I have the perfume spray and I wear it every winter. Warm Vanilla Sugar is so not the same either!
1. Flip-flops or Crocs?
Flip flop o’clock! The Man has a pair of Croc knockoffs that he used as shower shoes in Afghanistan. He likes them, but they are just so…..mugly.
2. Do you like to drive fast?
I’ve seen so many crazy drivers in Las Vegas, and it’s an open carry county, so anyone can have a pistol. I’ve learned to just be my LoLa driving self and let the crazies pass me. I’m not in a rush, unless it’s a medical emergency! If you’re late, that’s your fault.
3. Have you ever broken your nose?
No. I can’t imagine my flat Filipino nose being broken. I wonder how it would look. LoL. Maybe give me a more prominent bridge?
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside?
It’s not really sleeping outside…like you, it was camping, but I take the question literally: OUTside –no tent/structure? I saw some really cool getaways. Like, Utah, you can sleep under the stars, in the middle of nowhere. They have a bed, and a night table, and it looks so beautiful. But my scaredy cat self would fear the bugs and wildlife.
5. Peplum tops?
Hm….Maybe not. Really cute trend, but I feel that it emphasize my shortness.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy?
Oh, yes, please! Think PINK! 🙂
7. I would be the world’s worst ____.
Teacher. I was a Teacher’s Assistant to a special education teacher, and when I had to substitute for the day, all I could think was, “Please let the day end quickly!” I get so nervous, and I always felt like no one really paid attention. And when conflicts/issues arose, I would be so concerned with diffusing the situation, but fearful that the classroom would get out of control. It was not good for my stress levels or anxiety. It was a good learning experience, though!
8. How’s your summer going so far?
Meh. It’s really hot over here, so I just want to move. Please send us somewhere else, ASAP, Air Force!
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for?
I can’t think of anything. Maybe the single pot of Bobbi Brown’s concealer? I have seen it online, but I’m sure they’re phasing it out. The powder that comes with the concealer, is convenient, but I don’t use it that much.
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you?
Even though it’s really hot, a grande white mocha with soy, please! I like the iced version, but feel jipped because the ice takes up so much of the could-be coffee space.
Happy Monday, Karen & Tabs! Stay cool in the bay. I miss the bay!!!!
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Flip flops, I agree Reef’s flip flops are sweet for the feet.
2. Do you like to drive fast? No, unless I start thinking about something and then I realize I am speeding.
3. Have you ever broken your nose? No
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? yes, it was at the beach.
5. Peplum tops? They are cute, but not for me.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? Yes, some shades of pink better than others
7. I would be the world’s worst ____. Septic pumper or porta potty cleaner.
8. How’s your summer going so far? Mellow, really want to go to the beach. Hope to make it there soon.
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for? nothing I can think of, I am still trying to find my absolute favs and so far, still looking.
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? I don’t do Starbucks, love my Hawaiian coffee!
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Flip-flops! Cheapie ones from Target, $2.50 a pair, they last a month and then I buy a new pair.
2. Do you like to drive fast? Nope, I’m pretty anal about following the speed limit.
3. Have you ever broken your nose? No! Thank goodness!
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? I do not. It’s been a loooooong time!
5. Peplum tops? No no no no no! I just don’t find them appealing at all, they look like maternity tops to me.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? Yes! Everytime I wear pink around my Grandma, she tells me how good I look, so I make sure to wear a lot of it!
7. I would be the world’s worst ____. Teacher. Which is weird because almost everyone I am related to is a teacher and I volunteer in my kids’ classrooms every week, but I don’t have patience and I tend to be a little too mouthy.
8. How’s your summer going so far? Well, my 7 year old had her appendix out last week, that wasn’t fun, but she’s 100% healed up, after 7 days! She’s a rock star! It’s been very hot here in the Central Valley of CA, 105+ degrees, but I looove it!
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for? I don’t really have any.
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? Either a venti orange refresher, or a venti peppermint mocha frappuccino! I loves me some Starbies!
1. Flip-flops or Crocs?
~Flip flops for sure – the ultimate lazy person’s shoe that can come in dressy or casual form.
2. Do you like to drive fast?
~I used to, but since I’m in a career currently where I see a lot of trauma and MVA’s, I majorly cut down on any speeding I did. Your reaction time is much shorter when you speed, and I’ve seen some pretty major crashes and after effects. My next career will also have something to do with trauma and MVA’s.
3. Have you ever broken your nose?
~Nope, but I have whacked it pretty good walking into stuff and getting punched by accident in my mixed Muay Thai class (my partner’s gloved hand missed the focus mitts/Thai pads and got my face instead).
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside?
~Not in a while, last time I think I did was in the Greenridge State Forest in Cumberland on a camping trip.
5. Peplum tops?
~They are cute but a little on the girly side for me. I am generally speaking classic/tomboy when it comes to clothes.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy?
~I like pink in makeup or lingerie but typically not many clothes unless it’s for breast cancer.
7. I would be the world’s worst ____.
~Event planner. I wasn’t even planning my own wedding entirely and i was stressed. I like things that require very little planning or it can all be done by e-mail.
8. How’s your summer going so far?
~So far, so good, been too busy to get to the pool though.
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for?
~At times, makeup palettes that I went through because they were so good. But can’t think of them right off the top of my head.
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you?
~Venti Green Tea Frappaccino 🙂 It’s really yummy!
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Neither, I’m heels all the way 🙂
2. Do you like to drive fast? Sometimes. It does give me a rush of adrenalin.
3. Have you ever broken your nose? No!!
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? In a tent? Many years ago.
5. Peplum tops? What’s that?
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? I love pink, but mostly in make-up, not much in anything else.
7. I would be the world’s worst sales person.
8. How’s your summer going so far? Hmmm, I’m ready for fall, my favorite time of the year.
9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for? Don’t have one…
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? I’ll have a grande mocha latte, add toffee nut, 2%, 140F, no whip 🙂

Ooh, one of their lime refreshers, please!
1. Flip-flops or Crocs?
I’m a born-and-bred SoCal lady, so flip flops are normally my jam, but I got some ladies’ flat sandals made by Crocs that are actually really cute. They’re not bulky like the regular Crocs, and people never guess what brand they are!
2. Do you like to drive fast?
Yes! I have no patience for slow drivers — sorry Karen, that’s probably me giving you angry gestures on the road. 😛 It drives me crazy now that I live in Michigan much of the year; people drive so slowly I was passing everyone up in a moving van!

No, not a big fan of camping or nature really.
5. Peplum tops?

9. A discontinued makeup or beauty product that you still pine for?
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Gash.
10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you?
No thanks, I don't like the coffee at Starbucks(tastes burnt). Maybe one of those "raw" gluten-free granola bars if there's nothing else to eat around.
The Crocs I have are called the “Adrina flat” – I swear they are not hideous!

10. Afternoon Starbucks run! What can I get you? Light mocha frappachino no whip cream.
1. Flip-flops or Crocs? Always flip flops. Half Reef, half Teva Mush (don’t get me started on Mush – ahhh). Then two years ago my friend moved and gave me her generic-label, beat up purple crocs from her Persian-German aunt, and I wear them as house shoes because they remind me of her.
2. Do you like to drive fast? I’m a reformed fast driver. Occasionally I slip into it again. Hubs is slow and deliberate, and it’s so sensible that it’s caught on with me.
3. Have you ever broken your nose? Nope. I have a kinda small button nose a lot like yours, Karen. Sometimes I wonder if it would even break!
4. Can you remember the last time you slept outside? Used to constantly. Recently… nope, can’t remember!
5. Peplum tops? Love them, especially in jackets and formal or dressier outfits.
6. Are you a pink kinda gal/guy? Used to hate all pinks – too girly. But my mom kept telling me that light pinks look great with my skin tone, and eventually I had to agree that she’s right. Love them now – but in limited quantities!
7. I would be the world’s worst ____. Taxi driver. My husband and I have a running gag about what job we would be worst at. Mine has always been taxi driver – I have often gotten lost and called him hyperventilating, begging for directions, and then he tells me I’m 4 blocks from home. He was so relieved when GPS came out! haha!

If you are on the North shore check out The Cafe at Common Ground in Kilauea & the shrimp tacos in Princeville market complex in the back at a place called Fredericos. Great coffee & Poke in Kaapa at a place called Ono Market. XO Mahalo!
