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 seven years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter?
Hmm… It’s been a while. I think it might’ve been 2007, during SF Fashion week.I was a brand new beauty blogger at the time, and I’d just gotten my first DSLR camera. I remember coming home after the shows and staying up all night long writing and futzing with the pics, and then slamming a pot of coffee the next morning so that I could make it through my day job at the literary agency.
Ah, good times… Good times.
- Are you currently trying any new skincare products?
Why, yes! I’m trying a couple new things this week — Kate Somerville’s Replenishing Toner (supposed to be good for dry skin) and Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale Eye and Lip Cream (for my dark circles and fine lines). - What do you like to listen to while you’re driving?
Pretty much anything. As long as I can sing along to it, we coo’. Usually, it’s the radio. Ideally, upbeat pop, or if I’m feeling agitated or need to be soothed, then something easy listening (“Light rock…less talk. 96.5, KOIT”), because the last thing I want when I’m feeling stressed is Pitbull yelling at me about how he’s having fun at the club.I get it, dude. You’re having a great time at the club. I get it. 🙂
- Flip-flops or Converse?
Even though I have a soft spot for low-top Converse, I’ll go with Reef flip-flops, please. - What’s one activity you tried to get into but couldn’t/chose not to?
In middle school, my friend Nancy played basketball, and she tried to get interested in it, but I’m fairly terrible at all sports involving projectiles.My natural reaction is always to duck, and not catch, whatever’s being thrown at me.
Anyway, it didn’t take long for me to figure out that this brown girl can’t jump, LOL! I was terrible at it, so I put all my hoop dreams aside…
- Have you ever ended a relationship with someone you were still in love with?
Yes, and it was absolutely awful and traumatic. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. It took me a long time to put it behind me. Ten years, give or take. - Three random things you like?
- Seeing Tabs’ tum sway back and forth when he runs down the stairs
- Drinking a really cold Vitamin Water Zero with my lunch
- Having a whole day to myself where I can see and do new things
- Three random things you dislike?
- Eating wet grapes (I can only eat them when they’re dry)
- Seeing people act disrespectfully and without patience toward the elderly (GRRR)
- Having a sticky, sweaty neck
- Do you ever use your phone in the bathroom?
Totally guilty of this! I should stop…seeing as how my nightmare would be to accidentally drop the phone in the toilet. - Would you rather make coffee at home, or grab a cup from someplace else?
While I love a good cafe-made soy latte, nine of 10 times I’d rather just make my coffee at home. It’s cheaper, quicker, and I’m not a big fan of waiting in lines.
Now it’s your turn. Just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em! 🙂
1. When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter?
2. Are you currently trying any new skincare products?
3. What do you like to listen to while you’re driving?
4. Flip-flops or Converse?
5. What’s one activity you tried to get into but couldn’t/chose not to?
6. Have you ever ended a relationship with someone you were still in love with?
7. Three random things you like?
8. Three random things you dislike?

10. Would you rather make coffee at home, or grab a cup from someplace else?
Speaking of coffee…I spit mine all over myself this morning, LOL!
Yup, PPFFFFT! I guess I was drinking it too eagerly, because a big sip went down the wrong pipe, and I spit up all over my shirt, my chin and neck, the kitchen counter, and even got some up in my hair.
Ah… There’s nothing quite getting coffee in your hair first thing on a Monday morning.
On the plus side, now my mane smells like chocolate-flavored coffee from Kauai. #glasshalffull 🙂
Have a good one today. Tabs says, “mrow.”
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Phone screamers (people who feel the need to raise their voice to insane decibels when they get on the phone), driving home from work (I wish I could teleport), and the fact that my current purse (which I love otherwise!) does not have a key fob strap in it.

2. Are you currently trying any new skincare products?
Nope – my last experiment with a new product has ended in utter disaster!
3. What do you like to listen to while you’re driving?
Rock, metal, punk, indie. I have to be able to sing along and nod my head like a demented thing. Although because I don’t own a car and just rent one when I need it, I’m not always able to hook up my own tunes, in which case I listen to the cheesy radio station that plays a good mix of classic and new stuff.
4. Flip-flops or Converse?
Converse – flip flops always rub my feet the wrong way! In the summer I wear Birkis.
5. What’s one activity you tried to get into but couldn’t/chose not to?
Basketball too!! I joined the ladies club at university and was a resounding failure. I’m rubbish at sport!

Yes, sometimes! But not in the bath.
10. Would you rather make coffee at home, or grab a cup from someplace else?
Depends how badly I want coffee!! I don’t really drink it that much, but I live in Vienna where the coffee is usually pretty good, and the atmosphere in a cafe is as important as the bean.
1. When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter?
Oh boy, I can’t remember! it should’ve been back in 2002, while studying. I’ve been very disciplined since then 🙂

my baby’s laughter, paprika potato chips, the smell of clean laundry.

4. Flip-flops or Converse? Definitely Cons. I have 4 pairs.
5. What’s one activity you tried to get into but couldn’t/chose not to? I tried so many! But the only one I quit before season ended was softball, because the coach was so awful and we were all of 9 years old.

When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter?
I may be the only person ever who has never done this. I’ve stayed up until 6 AM, and I’ve seen the sunrise from the “wrong side”, but then I go to bed. I’m one of those people who does not function without sleep, and my body really wants 11-12 hrs solid every night. Doesn’t happen that way, but less than seven hours and even my wonderful family can’t stand me.
2. Are you currently trying any new skincare products?

~Probably not since my early college years. I’ve had many nights where I had trouble sleeping or insomnia but I haven’t pulled an actual all nighter (not counting night shift in the ER) in years.
2. Are you currently trying any new skincare products?
~I am using Olay’s Microderm Abrasion kit. Much cheaper than going to the spa or buying one from Ulta or Sephora (I also own Olay’s version of the Clarisonic, which is wonderful). It works really well and I’ve noticed a difference on my combination skin. My skin looked brighter after a week and it helped fade some dark spots that were old pimple scars. It’s very good at buffing dry skin patches, too.
3. What do you like to listen to while you’re driving?
~Pretty much anything – country when I’m in the mountains, hard rock for on the highway, pop for when I’m running errands. I’m not terribly picky. However, when people on the road seem out to intimidate everyone, I like to play loud, angsty rock music like Godsmack, Disturbed, or Shinedown to prove the point that they won’t get to me 🙂
4. Flip-flops or Converse?
~Flip flops all the way, baby.

8. Three random things you dislike?
~people in my personal space, the texture/smell of ham, and being injured in any way, shape or form.
9. Do you ever use your phone in the bathroom?
~Yup…guilty of this one. I have the Kindle app on my phone so I don’t have to grab my Kindle or a magazine…TMI?
10. Would you rather make coffee at home, or grab a cup from someplace else?
~I like doing both. If I don’t feel like waiting in line or going through a drive through, I make it at home. Other times, I love a good Starbucks frappaccino, or a Dunkin Donuts salted caramel hot chocolate. But, I could also make those drinks at home very easily.

Stuff I can dance and sing to! Like Britney, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga (my holy trinity!). I have XM radio in my car, so when I get out of work, TMZ Live is on, followed by Lance Bass’s Dirty Pop Live, it’s just great celebrity-gossip fluff for after work.
