- 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. 173. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- Have you ever owned a record player?
- Do you plan your makeup looks at the start of each week, or just wing it?
- Can you think of a lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?
- Describe your favorite summertime dress.
- Do you keep a journal?
- Your favorite makeup brush at the moment?
- Last time you jumped rope?
- Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
- Weekly goals:
I had a bout of the post-vacation blues early this morning, but I feel energized and ready now. “Coach, put me back in the game!”
I remember having a kids one when I was around five that I would use to play my Winnie the Pooh records. I loved that thing to pieces. It had a hard blue plastic case with a white handle. So stylish.
I may plan a look with an outfit if I have a special event to go to, but most of the time I just wing it.
Lately, Dior Favori 752. Whenever I wear it I feel like I’m ready to bring the heat, LOL! It’s an arresting red with a punch of pink.
This black Mimi Chica Ruffled Dress I got from the junior’s section at Nordie’s. It’s machine washable (dry cleaning is the bane of my existence) and super flexible. I can easily dress it up by throwing on a cardigan, jewelry and heels, or dress it down by slipping it over a swimsuit and sliding into a pair of flip-flops.
I do, but I don’t write in it nearly enough.
The MAC 224! It’s SO GREAT for under-eye concealer.
I usually have a pretty good memory, but I honestly can’t recall. I think I picked one up at a sporting goods store a few years ago and jumped for a minute in the aisle, but that may have also been a dream. The last time I jumped rope for longer than a minute was probably back on a playground some time in the ’80s (YIKES!).
As a kid I could sleep through earthquakes and thunderstorms, but I’m a much lighter sleeper now. I’ve gotten to the point now where I keep a pair of earplugs and a blindfold on my nightstand, just in case.
Pay some extra attention to Tabs, run at least four times (since I haven’t exercised since last week), prepare a couple of healthy dinners, and plan a weekend trip over Fourth of July (to give myself something to look forward to).
Heavens! I’m still totally reeling from last night’s episode of Game of Thrones. I went to bed thinking about it and woke up this morning with the ending still on my mind.
No spoilers here, I promise, but if you did watch it, can we dish in the comments? I did NOT expect that ending, and part of me wants to believe it didn’t actually occur.
Okay, enough about lords, knights and royal intrigue. As much as I enjoyed my short jaunt to Vancouver, I’m happy to see you again. It’s always great to come home. 🙂
If your Monday isn’t too crazy, take a second to say hello in the Monday Poll. I’d love to hear how you’ve been.

Hang in there…
Welcome back, Karen! What was your favourite thing about Vancouver? Did you get any Canadian beauty goodies? 🙂
1. Mood: Surprisingly alright post-lunch. Maybe because I just bought the comfiest mid heel sandals in the history of the world. LOL.
2. Have you ever owned a record player? No. That was before my time. 😉
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? Same as you, I plan out my look for special events only. Like tomorrow, I plan to wear MAC Lady Danger to the shu uemura makeup competition final. 🙂
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? Oooh, a good matte red or orange.
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. I have a F21 navy tube dress with an elastic on the waist and a paisley print.
6. Do you keep a journal? No. I used to though, and it was funny to read it back years after.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? Right now, a fluffy eyeshadow brush by Crown. I can pat down colour and blend with it at the same time.
8. Last time you jumped rope? Sometime in the last month during boot camp.
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? I’m a very heavy sleeper. Last week we had a huge thunderstorm around 4:30 am and I slept through it all.
10. Weekly goals: Go to bed early and wake up early, ride my bike in to work twice.
1. Mood: Good. 🙂
2. Have you ever owned a record player? Nope! Honestly, while I like music, I’ve never been an audiophile. In high school, all my friends had posters of their favorite bands on their walls. I had movie and video game posters.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? I wing it, for the most part. Though sometimes I’ll be inspired by something and think, “I’m totally going to try that later this week.”
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? Red with a hint of brown. Brownish red just seems…sexy and dangerous.
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. I have this blue dress made with t-shirt material. It has ruffles on the chest and is kind of retro. Super cute!
6. Do you keep a journal? Nope, though I always tried in the past. I’d get through a few days and then nothing for a year. I have a box filled with journals that only have a few pages used.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? The e.l.f. eye shadow brush. It’s really good for something that’s only a buck.
8. Last time you jumped rope? Umm…elementary school?
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? Well.. if there’s a loud thunderstorm, I’ll sleep right through it. But if there’s a tiny noise in the room, I’ll wake right up.
10. Weekly goals: Think more about my mom’s birthday present.
1. Mood: I’m having my typical Monday blahs, wishing the weekend was just a little longer but not cranky about it.
2. Record player? I had a toy one that played plastic records but it didn’t last very long; my parents had a weird issue with me having too many toys and once I lost interest in something, they gave it to someone else’s kids.
3. Make-up looks: Most of the time I wing it, but I do plan to use a certain color beforehand.
4. Lipstick that makes me feel spicy: I think at the moment it’s NYX’s Chaos, it’s such a fiery red for me.
5. Summertime dress: Sadly don’t have one at the moment, I have some old ones that I still fit into, the go to one being a black baby-doll type with colorful embroidery on top.
6. Journal: Not any more, just haven’t felt compelled to document my feelings like I used to.
7. Favorite make-up brush: Medium shadow brush from Studio Basics or the Karma brush that came with my UD Naked pallet.
8. Jump rope?: Yeah, can’t remember that last time I did that either, I’ve faked jumped rope in my aerobics class last week though.
9. Heavy or light sleeper: I’m like you, used to be a pretty heavy sleeper that people pounding on the door didn’t stir me but now, little noises or movements have me up in a second.
10. Weekly goals: Prepare healthy dinners and stay on my walking schedule with the BF, he’s also packed on some poundage and wants to get back into a better shape. I have bad feet so we walk for a couple miles or at least 45 minutes.
I think my BF is seriously shaken by last night’s episode and I’m still slightly in disbelief. He was hooked from day 1 just because any shows that are sc-fi or fantasy get his attention and his love for the show is deeper than I thought since it got him that upset but keeps him wanting more. I now vow to read those books this summer.
1. Mood: okay
2. Have you ever owned a record player? Nope. I don’t think my parents did, either. Tape players?
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? Wing it, unless I have a special outfit planned, or just bought something new that I really want to try out!
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? Bright or dark red.
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. Um, I don’t know if I have one. I want one!
6. Do you keep a journal? Yes, though I write in spurts and then neglect it for months.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? Sephora All Over Shadow Brush
8. Last time you jumped rope? A couple weeks ago in kickboxing class. Harder than I remember!
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? Extremely light. All kinds of things wake me up.
10. Weekly goals: Get organized, and clean my apartment!
How are you liking kickboxing? It’s a great workout, yeah?
Karen,
I know what you mean! I read Game of Thrones (you should totalyl read the books) years ago when it first came out and I was in high school. That scene in the book was so unbelieveable! I kept thinking “No, no way they’re going to do it. No way… Oh, they did.” I’m glad you’re enjoying the show! They’ve done a great job with it.
Leah
Hi Leah,
Did you read all the books in the series? I’m about a quarter of the way through the first one. I’m really enjoying it so far — it really helps to fill in the pieces of the story that I didn’t quite understand.
Oh, and I’m still reeling from that scene. 🙁 All I have to say is something good needs to happen to TEAM STARK soon.
I have been told not to get attached to ANY character. After last night… Whew! :-O
Karen,
I have read them all. My Hubs and I are rereading them now as well since the last one came out about 5 years ago. The next book is finally out in July and it’s like Harry Potter… you don’t want to have forgotten everything when you read the new book. Enjoy!
Leah
1. Mood: At peace, because summer has officially started and I am at home with the fam-fam 🙂
2. Have you ever owned a record player? Technically, yes, but it was before my time. It was part of this old school sound system but since I had cassettes (which were all the rage at that time) I would put little toys on the record player and watch them go ’round and ’round!
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? Definitely wing it. Sometimes if I see a tutorial I particularly like I’ll plan my look around it but I’m a very spur of the moment kind of girl when it comes to make-up 🙂
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? MAC Russian Red, Lancome L’Absolu Rouge in Absolute Rouge, ooooor MAC Fusion Pink 🙂 They make me feel spunky 😛
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. I just got this new gorgeous coral maxi dress (http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=556501&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results). It’s the most beautiful summer dress I’ve ever gotten! I just wore it to my best friend’s birthday party (she has the same birthday as you, Karen! ^_^)
6. Do you keep a journal? I used to but I haven’t written in a long time. I tried to keep a personal blog since I’m always online but school keeps me swamped unfortunately. Hopefully, I’ll feel more creative over the summer…
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? The MAC 188! I love to use it for cream blushes and for my more pigmented powder blushes! (Make Up For Ever Cream Blush in First Kiss + MAC Cheek Powder in My Paradise = <3 )
8. Last time you jumped rope? Gosh…. maybe elementary school or middle school? XD
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? Depending on how tired I am, I can sleep through almost everything except my alarm clock (I am deathly afraid of sleeping through my alarm when I have a test that day). But, for the most part, it doesn't take a lot to wake me up… one time a bird chirping outside my window woke me up at 3 am XD
10. Weekly goals: Kick back and relax before summer school starts and to play around with my make-up stash 🙂 Oh! And get back into my art and drawing… it's been so long!
Super cute dress! I wish I could maxi dresses off, le sigh.
What are your plans for the summer?
1. Mood:
Not bad!
2. Have you ever owned a record player?
No, I am sooo uncool about music.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it?
I often don’t know what I’m going to be doing when I start applying it, much less later in the week! This weekend I’m in a parade and I’m still not sure what I’ll be doing – either a facepainted mask with poppies, or a simple yellow eye with purple lips.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?
omg typo red! 😉 This reminds me that I just committed an entire project to a versioning repository and typoed “fist” instead of “first” – and it’s not revertible. Every single file now reads “Fist commit” next to it, indelibly. I’m dying laughing at myself right now…
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress.
Me + dresses = surefire public indecency arrest. I have a variety of very short dresses I wear over leggings or pants, but I definitely don’t do the summer dress thing.
6. Do you keep a journal?
Nope! Unless it’s got some specific therapeutic goal I just don’t like to track what I’m reflecting on, I still harbor the troubled youth idea that folks can use my inner thoughts against me. Which doesn’t explain why I spill my guts about everything at the drop of a hat lol!
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment?
I just bought mac’s 209 to replace my constantly flaking kashuk liner brushes (definitely not a good choice in the kashuk line) – LOVE IT.
8. Last time you jumped rope?
I was never good at it, and now that I’ve had a stroke I don’t think I could!
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
The lightest – these days I sleep with a mask and earplugs and sometimes medical assistance.
10. Weekly goals: Mostly employment related, and I have some studying to do, and saturday there’s the solstice parade for which I am bodypainting two attractive nude young men (I suffer!). Keep the house clean, work out, the usual maintenance stuff!
LOL… good luck with the hot dudes!! You know the old saying: a body painter’s work is never done!
1. Mood:
Content (: omnom’d a burger 😀
2. Have you ever owned a record player?
Nope.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it?
Usually I have the same look for one week then change it the next, so yeah. I do plan my looks 😀
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?
This gorgeous hot pink from Maybelline, I don’t know the name as I managed to lose the cover ¬.¬
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress.
This lush floral, knee length strapless dress from Quiz. It’s pinky with grey and earthy flecks of colour. I <3 pairing it with a necklace that goes exactly 😀
6. Do you keep a journal?
Tried it – I got bored 😛
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment?
I would say Ruby and Millie's 'Eye Defining' brush. Lovely with my Maybelline 24hr Gelliner (:
8. Last time you jumped rope?
A year or so ago? :L
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
Medium I guess. Not light enough to constantly be waking up at an owl hooting but not so heavy my alarm doesn't wake me up (:
10. Weekly goals:
Actually be not sincere :L I'm like, super quiet :O Oh, and find out why my eye makeup smudges! I've changed mascara, eyeliner, concealer….. I have a feeling it has something to do with my concealer, because it started when I bought my MAC Studio Finish Concealer, but it still hasn't stopped once I switched to MAC Studio Fix Concealer ):
Hi Jade,
Do you have a colorless primer? You could always try layering a little beneath your concealer. That might help. Also, maybe try setting it with a powder (I like the MAC Careblends).
New-ish follower, first time commenter 🙂 I’m really enjoying your site!
1.Mood: Not bad for a Monday.
2.Have you ever owned a record player? Oh yes, I can remember rocking out to Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall & Thriller records when I was a kid.
3.Do you plan your makeup looks at the start of each week, or just wing it? Wing it for sure. Depends on how much time I have in the morning.
4.Can you think of a lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? A sparkly bright pink gloss that I got pretty recently.
5.Describe your favorite summertime dress. I’m not much of a dress wearer, but I have this grey tank dress that is a good pool dress. It’s very plain.
6.Do you keep a journal? No, I’m too boring to write!
7.Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? Yes, it’s just an basic eye shadow brush that I use for my powdered concealor.
8.Last time you jumped rope? Oh God, 20 years ago???
9.Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? Light for sure. I have a hard time sleeping.
10.Weekly goals: I’d like to tackle my spare room this weekend. It’s so hot here though, I’d rater not do ANYTHING!
Hi Jen K,
It’s nice to meet you! 🙂 Glad you decided to come by and say hello.
BTW… I have Off the Wall on vinyl around here somewhere (I think it’s with my Like a Virgin album).
Oh man…I’m not watching GoT (no HBO, waiting for Netflix), but I saw the internet explode this morning with “holy crap, I can’t believe it” comments and I knew exactly what you’d just seen. Re-lived the gut-punch feeling all over again. Even so–it only gets better.
1. Mood: Freakin’ accomplished. Clean house, laundry well underway, dinner planned for all week.
2. Have you ever owned a record player? Yep, and it’s still somewhere. An old Fisher Price I used to listen to Cookie Monster on. C is for cookie, and that’s good enough for me.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? Winged. I know on Wednesdays I’m only wearing a little, since my day ends in volleyball, but that’s it.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? Not so much any–I’m more of an eyes girl.
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. I have a deep blue halter dress, with a swingy skirt, from j.crew. A little dressy, but oh, do I love it.
6. Do you keep a journal? Nope. Well, a little one for my son.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? I wish I could say my Sephora Professionel #55–the airbrush foundation one that I use for foundation, blush, and powder amazingly…but it’s still the MAC 263. Best eyebrow brush, ever. Ever ever.
8. Last time you jumped rope? In an effort to exercise while at my office job, 3 years ago, in the parking lot of my company, on lunch break. I neglected to note that people could see me out the many windows, and I was known as “Jump-Rope Girl” for a few days.
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? Um…I think I tune out a few things. I need earplugs to block out the husband’s snoring, but I don’t hear him get ready in the morning at all. And if little Tommy makes a peep, I’m instantly awake.
10. Weekly goals: Make all the dinners I planned! Resist going to the Bobbi Brown counter to try out the metallic eyeshadows.
Ya know, I don’t have the 263. Maybe I need to pick it up next time I head to the MAC store. You make it sound like a must! 🙂
1. Mood:
Still a wee sleepy. Need to wake up a bit more so I can go get my bangs trimmed before bowling! Bowling + long bangs = not good!
2. Have you ever owned a record player?
No. I was a child of the 90s so no record player.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it?
People plan their makeup looks for the week? SERIOUSLY? I just do whatever I feel like doing that day!
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?
Stila lip glaze in Fruit Punch and Passionfruit.
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress.
It pulls over my head, it’s casual, it’s cotton and it’s loose. Basically describes all three of my dresses. 🙂 Ha ha ha ha ha. I pretty much live in my dresses when it’s hot out.
6. Do you keep a journal?
Yes, but I don’t write in it enough.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment?
A fluffy blending brush from Smashbrush. Good for everything practically.
8. Last time you jumped rope?
Many, many, MANY years ago. I was 14. I need to get myself a new jumping rope because I love jumping rope.
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
Very, very light sleeper. I’m what my psychiatrist calls a “superficial” sleeper. I never actually REM until 30-40 minutes before I sleep. So, no, I don’t actually “sleep” according to psychological dictionaries. If I don’t take my medicine, I’m up at the lightest sound and/or every two hours all night long. Yes, I NEED MY MEDICINE.
10. Weekly goals:
Go bowling tonight with the other “disabled” kids.
Bathe the dog….seriously.
Get bangs trimmed.
Have fun bowling tonight, and give Z a hug for me. 🙂
I tried, but I had a little, “What the h*** do you think you’re doing?” at bowling today. In other words, I got very, very VERY p.o’d. I don’t exactly do well when people take my turn during bowling (and someone did). I went huffing and puffing stomping my bowling shoed feet over to my mom and took it out on my Hello Kitty coloring book. My mom asked if I got another pair of gutters (I got a lot of gutter balls. High score of 80 today!), but I had my little fit of, “Someone took my turn.” (insert whiny voice)
Zena’s being a bit bratty; she sends you a knock on the head with her blue tennis ball (which hurt, by the way.) I’d give you the scratches as well, but those were purely my fault. 🙂
1. Mood: Pretty good! Got a lot I want to get done this week and I’m raring to go. 🙂
2. Have you ever owned a record player? I’m like you – we had one of those plastic ones as a kid, but that’s it. My dad was with the times and went tape deck by the time I was born. 😉
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? Nope, it’s whatever I feel like that day!
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? Bright red. I have a lip gloss from Aveda that’s pretty awesome.

All I can say (as someone who has read the books) is don’t get too attached to characters in Game of Thrones! I can’t tell you how many times Mr. Martin has made me tear up in rage. However, it is refreshing to see an author (esp. a fantasy author) move away from that old formula where the heroes never die.
That ending was insane. I did not see that coming, and I was hoping it was a nightmare that he was having… No one is safe… Looove that show!
ME TOO! 🙁 I just watched it a second time… I’m still heartbroken.

7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? I don’t use fancy brushes, I should probably remedy that!
8. Last time you jumped rope? I’ve got an 8 year old and a 5 year old, there’s a lot of jumping rope in my life!

Mood:
Ridiculously happy.
Have you ever owned a record player?
My parents did, but I never owned one myself.
Do you plan your makeup looks at the start of each week, or just wing it?
I usually wing it. I’m kind of in a rut lately so I need to shake things up a bit (and get up a wee bit earlier to allow myself the time to do so!)
Can you think of a lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?
Lately, MAC’s Hibiscus. Wish I bought 20 tubes of this one…

The MAC 224 thanks to you Karen.

Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
When my dog was sick years ago and had incontinence problems I could wake up at the slightest whine from her because she hated peeing on her bed. I’m still a light sleeper because of her even though she’s in the big dog park in the sky.
Weekly goals:
Find a father’s day gift and a gift for my new boy’s sister, run at least 3x, get caught up on ALL of my work, and make something with lots of chocolate in it 🙂
Hibiscus is the jam, babe! Have you found any good combos w/it yet? Or do you wear it on its own?
I wear it on its own for now, but there’s this lipgloss I’m dying to try it with…maybe you’ve heard of it…created by this blogger named Karen…?? 🙂 I can’t wait to try your gloss with Hibiscus!!
AHHHHH!!! You’ll love it w/Hibiscus! 🙂 I promise!
Welcome back, Karen! Glad you had a great time!
1. Mood:
Tired. I had two long days this weekend and then today had to run a bunch of errands that I usually do on the weekend.
2. Have you ever owned a record player?
Oh, yeah. I didn’t switch over to CDs until the early 90s.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it?
I usually wing it, although if I buy something new that I’m dying to try out I’ll figure out what I would wear with it.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?
Dior’s Rouge Pur Couture in #17. It’s a super vibrant coral and between knowing I’ve got a luxury brand on my lips and it being really BRIGHT, it ups my confidence level significantly.
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress.
I like gauzy fabrics in soft floral prints or pastels.
6. Do you keep a journal?
No. I always feel like I should and never get around to it.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment?
I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s from Bare Escentuals and it’s a got a dense stiff shadow brush on one end, perfect for packing on color, and a very small stiff brush on the other end that I use for applying a smokey, smudgy shadow as a liner. It’s my go-to when I’m in a hurry.
8. Last time you jumped rope?
Never.
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
It takes me awhile to fall asleep but once I do, I’m out!
10. Weekly goals:
I’m going to be teaching a friend to use a special computer program he has installed on his computer that makes it possible for the visually impaired to perform all the usual computer functions, so I guess I’d better learn it so I can teach it! It’s exciting that such a thing exists and I think it will really help him.
Sorry, the lipstick is from YSL, not Dior. Duh!
Hi Heidi,
Thanks for the warm welcome back! Vacation was a blast. 🙂 I hope someday to be able to go back to Vancouver, as it’s a lovely city (reminds me a lot of a mellower San Francisco).
Your record collection must be KILLER. What’s your most prized record?
Give Missy a cheek rub for me!
Most prized would probably be my copy of Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life.
I just gave Missy your cheek rub. She’s currently curled up on my lap. She purred her response!
1. Mood:
Pretty happy – just a little sleepy
2. Have you ever owned a record player?
Yes! I love listening to records. I actually buy more records now that mp3s because new records come with digital downloads and, with older records, you can upload it to your computer.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it?
Usually wing it – I plan my outfits and dinners for the week ahead though.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?

5. Describe your favorite summertime dress.
Boat neck, nipped at the waist and a fuller skirt – a bit vintage, but suitable for all kinds of outings.

Probably a 217. I don’t know what I ever did without it!
8. Last time you jumped rope?
Last month in the garage of my apartment building. It’s good exercise!

Extremely light!
10. Weekly goals:
I have to work a lot this week – tons of overtime. So when I am not working I am going to relax as much as possible.
That’s so cool that you still listen to records! I wish I could find mine; when I moved last year I lost track of them. They’re in a box around here somewhere.
I love the 217, too, btw. Do you ever use it in the crease? That’s my favorite way to work it.
1. Mood:
Giddy! I’m so silly happy right now. Had a fantastic weekend full of good times and friends. =)
2. Have you ever owned a record player?
Nope I’m not that hipster. 😉

Maybelline’s Pinkalicious! A fun coraly pink~

I try.. but fail.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment?
My double-ended concealer/foundation brush I got at Forever21– who knew?!
8. Last time you jumped rope?
About an hour ago with Jillian Michaels, haha!
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
I used to think light, but I think it goes like this: Light while I’m falling asleep (about 30 min) then heavy ONCE I’m asleep.
10. Weekly goals:
Do Jillian every day, eat super healthy, and do some self-tanner to prepare for a big weekend. Oh, and maybe decide what Master’s I want to get. That should probably be my priority..
Ooh, were you doing a Jillian Michaels DVD? Which one?
1. Mood: Slightly dizzy… I have an exam today, and I haven’t slept… (advanced syntax in English… eeeeek)
2. Have you ever owned a record player? I remember one from my early childhood, but maybe I’m just making it up, I don’t know.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? Even if I plan it, it’s at most 1 day before (OK, for bigger upcoming occasions like graduation or wedding I would plan it better in advance…). I usually just wing it… depending on my mood, usually.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? Rimmel’s Coral Chic-when I’m tan. Otherwise, Rimmel’s Burning Desire (a bit blotted down, that is :P)
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. It’s kind of indie-ish, but still really stylish A-line short-sleeved black and white chequered dress frtm H&M, especially with thin black tights and black heels… it’s perfect, because it’s casual enough to wear it to a café, but still elegant enough to wear to a theatre, and if it’s a bit more chilly, I always can put on a nice black blazer.
6. Do you keep a journal? I write a me-blog. Before that, I used to. As for an agenda, I do, too, but I could be more precise and stuff… I usually just end up doodling and writing poems in it than actually writing in the info and the dates…
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? It’s a no-name angled eyeliner brush… it just fits my eyeline so perfectly!
8. Last tme you jumped rope? I can’t remember exactly (and couldn’t remember it to save my life :P)… it was probably in a P.E. lesson in high scool… I’m gessing 10th or 11th graaaaade mayyyybeee???…
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? I used to have a problematic phase, but now I’m quite a light sleeper, fortunately… I mean, when I can sleep in a bed. I literally cannot sleep (or if I do, only after struggling for a looooong time, like one and a half days or two in ‘coma’) in any place that isn’t a bed… like vehicles (no matter they are moving or not) or the terminal at an airport or at the beach…
10. Plans for this week: that stinkin’ exam today… thennnn, theatre ticket buying (AND going to the theatre, if everything’ right)… a new funny Hungarial “musicalcomedy”… my mom saw it and she loved it, and she’s really critical, so I’m looking forward to it! :D), university administrative stuff. some museum going (one of my dad’s friend is the deputy head at a really prominent museum here, and with his daughter, I’m quite in a good relationship, so I was promised that I could sneak in with her for free… and this exhibition is really something I’m interested in, I would even have paid for it :P-culture is an expensive thing, so I have to pass on some stuff I’d like to visit, but this I would have paid for, really, so I’m totally excited :D) and finishing The Collector from John Fowles.
1. Mood: in-lovish ^_^
2. Have you ever owned a record player? Of course! I happened to be a little girl in the 80s, ya know?
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? In practice I watch Youtube makeup tutorials in the weekend (for fun) and I plan to copy 2 or 3 looks during the week, but I don’t always manage. This particular week I am doing very well though: I did a gold and green look on Monday and a silver one today.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? Guerlain Cashmere Lip Gloss in Rose Pondichery, unfortunately LE from summer 2009. It is a liquid velvety lipstick with a matte finish. I tried it in a shop, went out and after 5 minutes was approached by some guy who asked if I was Russian: I dismissed the loser disdainfully, but I bought the lipstick alright (if it makes me look Russian…)
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. I have just bought it!!! Well, actually a week ago, but I haven’t worn it yet. It is a dark acid green with an ethnic pattern of orange and turquoise flowers. The style is long with straps and an elastic band at breast-level. Just cotton, but it looks gorgeous and fun and a statement against my olive skin 😛

10. Weekly goals: Get through my exam on Thursday!
I was out and about yesterday, but I definitely thought of you and the Game of Thrones ending. I knew it was coming and still found it hard to watch. It does sort of prepare you for the “no one is safe” attitude you need to have with this series. It hurts to lose one of your faves, though! 🙁 I wasn’t sure if they’d do it (HBO) and thought there may be a chance they’d keep him around like Lafayette in TB (in contrast to the book killing him off). It would have been a completely different story if they had, though. Anyway, I hope you still like the show – I was worried that people might be like “I can’t believe it… I’m done watching”. Hopefully not. If it’s any consolation, Ned was the hardest for me. I know everyone has different favorites, but I think Ned was universally liked by fans and it was pretty shocking. Though at least it helps us all to see Joff’s true colors (if there was any doubt). 🙂
OK, I am delurking for this one…
I only have a few minutes so I cant do the poll, but OMG the Game of Thrones ending! Holy moly! I just love(d) Ned, I am so sad. It really got me. DH and I were like, did they really just do that!?!? Kinda hoping for it not to be real too, but I know it is. Wow. I also really like Dany (and her brutish, but lovable, horselord hubby). If they die too I’ll be heartbroken. I wont stop watching though…I am waaaay too invested now, lol. And there are so many other characters I like, or hate (!) and want to know the fate of.
I need to start the books, I have read TONS of fantasy but for some reson never read them. But the series is SO GOOD that I dont want to ruin it by reading ahead.
Karen – not only do you have a fantastic blog, but you have great taste in TV! 🙂
Tierra, I’m so heartbroken! 🙁 I’m really afraid to get attached to other characters now.

8. Last time you jumped rope?
Two years ago. I had my internship at this elemantary school and the girls in my class wanted me to jump rope with them.
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
In the winter I’m definitly a heavy sleeper.. I can sleep around the clock if I want. But in the summer I’m actually a light sleeper.. I can’t sleep because of my allergies or the heat and I alway awaken when there is light outside or any noise from playing kids on the street. I don’t know what it is but in the summer I alway wake up when I hear something in the middle of the night.. something I don’t have in the winter.

Ok, I know I’m super late, but I just watched a Game of Thrones today and I am outraged and heart broken!
P.S. I am so glad that fantasy is so popular now! I have been a fantasy geek since I was little and I always thought it was something I had to hide, so it’s awesome that it’s getting so big! 😀
I’ve had a crazy Monday (And Tuesday), so I’ll drop by here and say hi now… since I love the poll 🙂
1. Mood:
A little tired but at the same time excited.
2. Have you ever owned a record player?
Definitely 😀 Didn’t switch to CDs until cars came equipped with CD players and the advent of computers.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it?
I usually just wing it- after all, my makeup look consists of eyeliner and a nude lipstick/lipgloss.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy?
Confession: I’ve only recently dipped my feet into lip colour for real, but I am currently in love with Dior Addict lipstick in 566 Taffetas
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress.
I have a few, as I’m in a dress phase and it’s summer season here- they’re mainly cotton with a v-neck, thick shoulder straps and most likely than not tied around the waist at the back or smocked back 🙂
6. Do you keep a journal?
I love journals in their physical form- the leather-bound, brown paper type, and do own a few, but am disinclined to write in them precisely because of their beauty. I do, however, blog online when I can- http://yukaeshi.drachedja.net
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment?
Loving The Body Shop’s retractable blush brush for applying powder on my face! It’s not only travel-friendly and more hygienic, but it’s smaller than normal big powder brushes and applies powder on my face better.
8. Last time you jumped rope?
When I was 15.
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper?
Depends. Sometimes I am a heavy sleeper, sometimes I am a light sleeper, but my family and my boyfriend claims that I am a heavy sleeper.
10. Weekly goals:
Settle whatever I can before going to Singapore next week, catch up on sleep, readjust my body clock, relax and enjoy!
Have fun in Singapore next week! Are you going for work or for fun?
Officially late…but I dont care, I have to complete the poll every week regardless ! Hows that for dedication.
1. Mood: Not bad considering London weather is at its best….raining and grey !
2. Have you ever owned a record player? No, not even a toy plastic one.
3. Do you plan your makeup looks for the week or wing it? I wing it depending on what I’m wearing, where I’m going and what I have on my nails.
4. A lipstick color that makes me you feel spicy? MAC Vegas Volt or Ruby Woowoowoo 🙂
5. Describe your favorite summertime dress. Its one I picked up in Hennes a few months ago- havent worn it yet. Its a cute cream, aqua blue, coral and gold patterns sun dress-really cute. Failing that my nudey pink off shoulder T-shirt dress with a rope waist tie is pretty cute too,
6. Do you keep a journal? I do on and off, I think I tend to write in one more when I am stressed and need to vent but not necessarily at someone.
7. Your favorite makeup brush at the moment? MAC’s 182 kabuki….flaaaaawwwwlessss.
8. Last time you jumped rope? umm at primary school…a good 16 years ago.
9. Are you a heavy or a light sleeper? Depends if I’m tired- tired,even a war wont wake me……not too tired-even a ant walking past will have me shooting upright.
10. Weekly goals: Stop snacking on granola-so so bad !! Go to pilates and get my portfolio together !
