- 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 three years, which I guess makes this somewhere around Vol. 186. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- The most disorganized part of your makeup collection?
- Something that always cheers you up?
- When was the last time you “busted a move”?
- Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair?
- What’s the least used product in your makeup collection?
- One way in which you feel daring?
- How do you feel about jumpsuits?
- A habit you’d like to break?
- Weekly goals:
A’ight. I could use a little more sleep (per usual). It’s supposed to be hot here today. Probably one of the last really hot days of the year, and I might try to sneak away to the pool for a few minutes this afternoon.
My eyeshadows. I’ve been meaning to depot them all and organize everything by color, but every time I set my mind to doing it I get sidetracked by something else.
Watching Tabs while he sleeps. He’ll twitch and kick his little paws every once in a while, I presume while he’s dreaming about his former life as an outdoor kitty, chasing bugs, stalking lizards and lounging about in the sun.
Just last night, as a matter of fact. I was in the kitchen making tea and felt the rhythm hit me, so I belted out an improv version Planet Soul (“Set you free! Set you free!”).
Club moves make everything better.
I do, but I haven’t worn it out in public in a zillion years.
Hmm… Probably face primer. I go through phases where one month I’m into it, next month I’m not. I haven’t been into it for a long while, though. I think I’ve just been too lazy to go that extra step.
I guess in my ability to let my goofy side show. I mean it’s there, right? Why hide it? 🙂
Fine in concept (like the whole one-piece-outfit idea), but I haven’t found one that works well for me. Who makes a cute jumpsuit designed for short girls with a big bum? Anyone?
To be less critical of myself. That’s been a tough one to break.
Basically to keep up the good work with my exercise routine and continue tracking my progress using that My Fitness Pal app on the iPhone (four pounds lost so far, yay!). This is also the last official week of summer, and I want to end the season on a high note. I’m not gonna let myself sweat any of the small stuff. That’s it. Done deal.
G’morning, friend! Are you, too, obsessed with Ryan Gosling? I am, and I’m beginning to wonder if we should start a support group.
Last night I spent an entire hour watching vids of him on YouTube (don’t tell El Hub!), and in that time I found this little gem from his Mickey Mouse Club days. Zip to the 1:32 mark for the real joy (extra points if you recognize the other dudes in the clip)…

Karen, I met Ryan a couple of years back when I worked @ Holt Renfrew. He was at my counter (LA Mer), and he was so suave and very laid back. He came up to the counter, leaned on it, and asked me if “this stuff really that good?”, so of course, I told him that it was amazing and that it’s not only a luxuorious moisturizer, but a treatment as well, he told me that he would get the largest tub, which retails for about 1500 CAD- he got two for his mom- awww, how sweet! So, being a fellow Torontonian, I asked him what he was in T.O for, and he told me work, but taking some time off. Of course, who comes in, no other than Rachel McAdams, and they began making out at our counter, lol. Everyone was taking pictures- they were so sweet. Anyway, they left, and said thank you, and my parting words to Rachel? “Would you like any samples” – lolololol- as if she needed them, lol- omg- I get so starstruck sometimes!- this was a couple of years back- probably 2005. Just thought I’d mention it since you love RG!
He got two La Mer tubs for his mom?? Ok, my heart just melted. 😛 This is such a sweet story!
Hi Advah! Yea, he did- it was very sweet. He really is a laid back kind of guy! He had no diva attitude about him at all, but he knew he was ‘all that”- he eludes that sexy self confidence, lol. Very nice guy indeed.

5. Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair?
No, but I think it’s a really cool effect when done well.
6. Least used product in your makeup collection?
Face primer. They keep saying it will minimize the look of pores, but I haven’t found one that does, so I usually don’t bother.

S/N: I totally have that clip on VHS. A few years back when *NSYNC was really big & they had just released ‘No Strings Attached’ I believe, Disney was having an all-out Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, JC Chasez & Christina Aguilera overload playing every single MMC episode they starred in. Needless to say, as a HUGE *NSYNC fan I simply had to record all of them 🙂 I got that particular epi and it is one of my favorites – who knew Ryan could kill it like that?!
They’re singing a Jodeci song! Omg!! If I were drinking coffee I’d have seriously snorted it out my nose for sure. Thanks for sharing, have a great week Karen! 🙂
1. Mood: it’s Autumn!! I love Autumn.
2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? Besides lipstick I don’t have much so nothing’s too unorganzied. I always manage to loose my Mac Blot Powder in my purse though. Oh nail polish always, always mixes itself up.

4. The last time you busted a move? Saturday at Zumba class. Busting a move is a requirement.

1. Mood:
Pretty good for a Monday. I had a really nice weekend, which helped 🙂

Lipsticks / glosses. I am extremely anal about my organization, but I can find the right fit for these. About half of the collection ends up in my purse before the week ends anyway – haha!

Dogs or babies. Either one will do the trick. Even better if I can snuggle with them 🙂
4. The last time you busted a move?

5. Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair?
I do, but I have a pixie cut, so I don’t think that will be happening for a long while.

Liquid eyeliner. I used to be obsessed, but with gel liner and kohl, I find that I rarely use the liquid anymore.
7. One way in which you feel daring?
I am not afraid to try something different – whether it be food, clothing, hair or makeup. I used to be concerned with the way that I might be percieved, especially during sensitive college years, but now I just do what makes me happy!
8. How do you feel about jumpsuits?
Love them!!! I only have a jumper right now, but I am eyeing some on ASOS. They have some pretty nice options!
9. A habit you’d like to break?
I bite my nails and pick at my cuticles. I have done this since I was very little – maybe started when I was 3 or 4 years old. I have gotten a lot better, but the only true way for me to avoid it, is to constantly have my nails painted and manicured. I would like to be able to not wear polish every once in a while, but I haven’t gotten to that point yet.

Eat healthy, keep well hydrated in this warmer weather, clean my apartment

Not looking at my calendar when I’m scheduling things. Or failing to put things into my calendar. I mean, I have it for a reason, right?

2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? The makeup collection itself is strictly organized into divided bins by colour, and brand. However, the lotions, oh the lotions. They are a jumbled mess in a box that I just grab from the top of when I need.
3. Something that always cheers you up? Brightly coloured nail polish. Wasn’t feeling so hot yesterday so on went a few coats of China Glaze “Sun Worshipper” and all of a sudden my hands make me smile. And blind, they also make me blind.

10. Weekly goals: Resist. Buying. More. Nailpolish.
1. Mood: Meh, whatever. Numb in a monday morning sort of way.
2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? Hmm… Probably my nail polish. Everything else lives in a carefully organized drawer organizer from IKEA that I’m obsessed with. It’s call Godmorgon, I think? Who can remember those crazy names 😉

7. One way in which you feel daring? Hm… I always feel a little daring when I consider that I moved from the south to sunny california five years ago this week. It wasn’t hard for me at all, but so few of my friends from home have moved away that I feel pretty brave. Actually, come to think of it, it was five years ago today! Crazy coincidence.

8. How do you feel about jumpsuits? Other people look fantastically stylish in them.. but I don’t think they’d look good on me, and I don’t think my boyfriend would.. well.. “get” them.
9. A habit you’d like to break? My inability to let things/people go. No matter how long ago it is, I still feel the emotions I felt with them like I’m in the past. Plus I’d like just to clear them outta my brain so I have room to learn some cool stuff!

I love watching my kitty Daphne sleep 🙂 sometimes I can’t resist purposely making a loud noise or turning on the lights to wake her up on purpose.
