- 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. 166. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer?
- How do you get yourself out of a bad mood?
- When was the last time you used a hula hoop?
- What’s your favorite place to buy makeup?
- Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own?
- A fictional TV character you’d like to hang out with?
- Solid perfumes: yea or nay?
- An article of clothing in your closet that you NEVER wear?
- Weekly goals:
Great! I think I’ve finally gotten back into the swing of things after my trip last week. It only took three days and tons of sleep, haha.
I do! I love how crisp and refreshing a sharp white outfit looks, especially one paired with shiny baubles and cute sandals. But I’m not one of those gals who can just waltz out the door in white and not have to think about it at all. I usually bring a small lint brush with me (Tabs sheds like crazy!) wherever I go and a portable stain remover like Shout Wipes, just in case.
Listening to music usually helps. Something mid-tempo. A peppy beat and positive lyrics soothes my inner savage beast.
Hmm… I honestly can’t remember. Maybe five years ago? There’s one stored in my old bedroom at my parents’ house (weird), and I have a misty memory of busting it out one Christmas not too long ago (probably during a karaoke night).
The MAC Pro Store in San Francisco. It has some of the friendliest sales associates. They’re helpful, ya know, but not intrusive, and they let me play for as long as I want. 🙂 LOVE that store!
I learned on my own around seventh grade. One day a friend of mine looked at my shins during PE and said, “Did you forget to shave this morning?” Um, yes? My mom really isn’t a girly girl and didn’t have any hair removal stuff around (that I could find), so that night I borrowed my dad’s razor and shave cream and figured it out (story of my life).
The Three’s Company roommates! Remember that show? I want to hang out with Jack, Janet and Chrissy at The Regal Beagle bar, LOL!
Yea-ish, but I prefer liquids because I think they last longer on me.
I have a pair of black J. Brand 811 jeans that I utterly love but hardly ever wear because they’re like a magnet for cat hair! It’s too much for my trusty lint brush to handle.
Just one: make it work!
What up, boo? How are you feeling this morning? I know you’ve got a lot going on, but can you spare a minute to touch base in the Monday Poll?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Forty years ago today El Hub’s parents were both working at an Avis Rent-A-Car in Waikiki on the island of Oahu. My mom-in-law was a car wash girl, and El Hub’s pop was a manager. Before long they started hanging out together, soaking up the fun and the sun of Hawaii, and the rest is history. Congratulations, guys, on your 40th wedding anniversary! Love you!

Girl, I have an ancient pair of Sevens that keep around for when I drop that 20 lbs. I call them my “wishful thinking” jeans.
I think this means that we’re optimistic people. Or we’re on our way to becoming hoarders. 🙂

Awfully pleased and relaxed.
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months?
I do 🙂 White’s one of my favourite colours to wear, whatever the season!

Talk to my boyfriend, play with my pet(s), listen to music, write, read.
4. Do you remember the last time you used a hula hoop?
Quite some time ago in a toy store.
5. What’s your favorite place to buy makeup?
I normally like browsing in department stores for the variety. I rarely/hardly venture into standalone shops unless I’m buying or have something specific in mind because the salespeople can be a bit unnerving.
6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own?
I taught myself. My Mum has naturally hair-less legs (Seriously) so she never shaved hers… so I was on my own.
7. A fictional TV character you’d like to hang out with?
I’ll get back to you on this one- none in my mind at the moment 😛

Yay for portability… nay for practicality I guess. My hands would smell of the perfume for quite some time D:
9. An article of clothing in your closet that you NEVER wear?
I have probably a few of these- shorts, tanks, dresses, skirts, that I never wear yet never throw/give away… so I’m not too sure haha!
10. Weekly goals:
Relax, study for my last paper.
1. Mood:
Is “hormonal” a mood? : )
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months?
White is not a good look for me, I’m too pale for it. I do use white layering pieces under other things, though.
3. How do you get yourself out of a bad mood?
Music!
4. Do you remember the last time you used a hula hoop?
Don’t think I ever used one.
5. What’s your favorite place to buy makeup?
ULTA. I can choose between affordable and less affordable, all in one place.
6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own?
I figured that out on my own through trial and error.
7. A fictional TV character you’d like to hang out with?
I wouldn’t mind trying to get Mad Men’s Don Draper to settle down and commit!
8. Solid perfumes: yea or nay?
Love ’em… no mess and portable.
9. An article of clothing in your closet that you NEVER wear?
A black , boring interview blazer. I hope to have to dig that out sometime soon, though!
10. Weekly goals:
Lots of errands to run this week.
Yay, these always ease up the Monday blues.
1. Mood:
Awake and ready to get things done! Grrr!
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months?
YES! I love pairing white with a solid color. For example, white pants/shorts with a super bright chartreuse or orange top. I also LIVE for white-collared shirts. (I think everyone looks good in them.) I do this even in the winter because I like to stand out amid a sea of black and blue hoodies at school.
3. How do you get yourself out of a bad mood?
I turn on really loud music or sleep it off.
4. Do you remember the last time you used a hula hoop?
No, I don’t. I was never good at hula-hooping.
5. What’s your favorite place to buy makeup?
Surprisingly, the drugstore or Target! I like having an endless selection, no one to bother you, and an easy refund policy.
6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own?
I didn’t become conscious of the hair until I was in the seventh grade, too! Before, my mom would have never let me do it. One day, I grabbed a razor (from who knows where…maybe I bought it?), lathered up really good, and shaved. Seeing smooth legs was, seriously, one of my earliest beauty revelations.
7. A fictional TV character you’d like to hang out with?
So many, LOL, but I say Liz Lemon or anyone of the Community gang.
8. Solid perfumes: yea or nay?
Nay…? To me, that just sounds like a fancy way of saying “deodorant.”
9. An article of clothing in your closet that you NEVER wear?
I make sure to wear every article of clothing I own because I hate seeing pretty clothing left neglected, but the ones I wear the least are my red (trench)coats. I know I said earlier that I like to stand out with bright colors, but I save them for when I’m really in the mood.
10. Weekly goals: The usuals are exercise daily and get some schoolwork done. My other ones are to look for a good, non-yellowing nail polish base coat and a potential first job (part-time)! Anyone have suggestions for either one? Thanks!
Base coat: CND Stickey is affordable and quite good. I wear it by itself when I want a more matte look for my nails, too.
Part-time job: Starbucks is ridiculously good to work for. Any coffee shop job is fun, but even part-time, you’ll be treated well by Starbucks. Don’t go for the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble, though–those aren’t “real” Starbucks, and B&N is NOT a great employer.
Hope this helps. 🙂 Good luck!
1. Mood: Relaxed and happy. MY guy is home from work today, yay!
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months? I don’t like wearing white, ever! i am too clumsy and i hate the special care you have to take when washing so it doesn’t get dingy.
3. How do you get yourself out of a bad mood? Usually just wait it out. Or play with my doggies. Or go shopping. 😉
4. Do you remember the last time you used a hula hoop? Yes, I have one in my living room that a friend made me. And it was more like attempting to use a hula hoop versus actually using one.
5. What’s your favorite place to buy makeup? Online! There are so many choices! But I also love Sephora and being able to swatch everything. The drugstore can be fun too when they get new items.
6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own? I think I had my mom do it for me the first time just so I could know what I was doing.
7. A fictional TV character you’d like to hang out with? Barney from How I Met Your Mother!
8. Solid perfumes: yea or nay? They’re okay, but they scent doesn’t last long enough!
9. An article of clothing in your closet that you NEVER wear? A black wool trench coat. It never gets cold enough here!
10. Weekly goals: Pay bills and figure out how to pay for my classes this summer!

Great now..

Local drugstore.. Oh, and the mac-counter!
6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own?

Feeling good! I am pretty positive this morning and looking forward to getting through the week.
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months?
Eh. I like the idea of white for summer, but I always end up ruining my white clothing with some sort of stain. I learned a while ago that dark colors are more suitable for me.

I like to be alone. Just shut the blinds and curl up with a magazine or listen to a record. Me time always helps!
4. Do you remember the last time you used a hula hoop?
I’m sure I was a little intoxicated – ha!

6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own?
I figured it out on my own when I was about 12. I used one of my dad’s diposable bics and cut my shins terribly!
7. A fictional TV character you’d like to hang out with?
Liz Lemon from 30 rock! I am pretty sure that we would be BFFs 🙂
8. Solid perfumes: yea or nay?

I have a pair of bronze cowboy boots that my mom bought for me several years ago. I love them to pieces, but they are just not my style. That being said, I can not bring myself to give them away!
10. Weekly goals:
Keep a positive attitude, plan my upcoming weekend getaway, and allow myself some time to get back into my hobbies (knitting, drawing).
1. Mood: Slightly sleepy, on day 3 of no caffeine. But, raring to get out of work into the sunshine!

My last comment got cut off, feel free to delete!

8. Solid perfumes: yea or nay? Never tried one!

Mid-thigh bright purple hoodie-style sweater dress…what was I thinking

Good (if a little lazy). It’s Marathon Monday/Patriot’s Day here, and my apartment is right by the marathon route, so I’m working from home and trying to convince myself to be productive.
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer?
I do, even if I am a total stain magnet 🙁

I listen to “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me” from NPR and bake.
4. When was the last time you used a hula hoop?
Probably when I was 8.

I figured it out on my own.

I’ve never tried them, so nay for now.
9. An article of clothing in your closet that you NEVER wear?
I have a black formal dress that I usually wear to weddings and other formal events. However, I haven’t had the opportunity to wear it in the past four years.
10. Weekly goals:
Be productive.
I went with Willow instead of Giles…but that’s because I’d have a hard time not jumping him. 🙂 British librarian = ridiculously hot.
Megan – That’s very true :D.
1. Mood: Oh so good! I am on vacation and my apt was clean before 1pm!
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months? Sure usually t-shirts. Many moons and lbs ago I used to have the cutest white jean capris. 🙁
3. How do you get yourself out of a bad mood? Music and thinking about something funny
4. Do you remember the last time you used a hula hoop? Ohh no. Probably when I went to Target/Walmart and fooled around in the toy dept.
5. What’s your favorite place to buy makeup? Sephora but it has to be a really big one with lots of choices like the ones in NYC

Happy anniversary to your in-laws!
1. Mood: Great! I have a perfect pedicure, and have already beaten the week’s laundry into submission!
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months? Not so much. White clothes are only a few shades whiter than my skin. I wish I was joking. Or exaggerating.
3. How do you get yourself out of a bad mood? Kitty snuggles…baby snuggles…look at something bright and colorful for awhile. If all that fails, there’s an amazing homemade ice cream shop here in Cleveland 🙂
4. Do you remember the last time you used a hula hoop? Oh man. Probably twenty years ago! Annnnd…now I feel old.
5. What’s your favorite place to buy makeup? The Powder Room Boutique in Chagrin Falls, OH. It’s run by a former Hollywood makeup artist…she carries great lines, lets me play, and the facials there are worth every penny.
6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own? I had to figure it out on my own–when I realized I was the only girl in my grade not shaving, I asked my mom…and she handed me a fifteen-year-old electric shaver!

Karen,
Hey girl! Love the MAC Surf pics plus your tweets from the MAC Factory. Seriously, it smelled like vanilla? Girl you seriously need to go to Boulder CO to the Celestial Seasonings place. It’s not like a factory but it feels like an open house (you get all of the tea you can drink). Plus they have the original box art on the walls. Oh and that cute bear is EVERYWHERE!!!
1. Mood: content
2. Do you like wearing white in the spring/summer months? Every now and then. I have a pair of white hoops that set off some tops. Plus I have a pair of white pants that are fab.

7. A fictional TV character you’d like to hang out with? Munch and Finn from Law and Order SVU. They are sooooo hiliarious!!!!

6. Did someone teach you how to shave your legs, or was it something you figured out on your own?: UGH my mother didn’t let me shave growing up, but she allowed us to use those lotions like Nair and Veet.

It’s a drugstore called Rossmann (I guess they have their shops mostly in Europe) in a local (Hungarian… in Budapest, the capital, to be exact) shopping mall called Ãrkád.

But otherwise, I’d like to hang out with Dr. House, the whole How I Met Your Mother-bunch, Mick St. John from Moonlight (I’m not a vampire freak, but he’s definitely a cool one :D), Carla, J.D. and Dr. Cox from Scrubs, Buffy and Willow, all the bunch from Bones… and Power Rangers, ha! 😀
8. Solid perfumes: yea or nay? I didn’t even know about solid perfumes… I may not be trendy enough o_O… hahaha… but looking it up, I’m kind of nay. I love my liquid perfumes, I don’t like wearing too much on my skin.
9. An article of clothing in your closet that you NEVER wear? Uhm. I have a pair of elbow-length white gloves, which I never wear. It’s a long story. Here, in Hungary, prom is not the same as in other places. We usually have standard dances like a waltz and a Hungarian folk dance (plus usually a class dance)… and we had to go to a rent-a-dress place with my classmates to get the waltz and the Hungarian dance dresses and accessories, and they gave me two pairs of gloves accidentally, and I kept one :P.
