- 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. 162. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- What do you use to clean your makeup brushes?
- Wide-legged jeans — yea or nay?
- The last book that made you cry?
- Do you wear bracelets?
- Have you ever cut your own bangs?
- Are you a procrastinator?
- Favorite cookie?
- I always knew I’d…
- Weekly goals:
A little sleepy, Zzzz… I was tossing and turning a lot last night, but otherwise I’m great. I feel really hopeful and organized today.
For years I used MAC Brush Cleanser ($12), which always worked well, breaking up product buildup while being easy to rinse. I’d go through about a bottle a month, though, and that was adding up fast, so to save a few bucks I switched to Aussie Opposites Attract Shampoo. Just the regular shampoo. It takes a little longer to rinse, but it works well and only costs about $3.
Yea! Within reason, of course. When they’re too wide, I think they make me look even shorter than I am, as if that’s possible, ha!
Mockingjay, the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy. I finished it in bed early one morning, emotionally exhausted. I think it was about 2, and I didn’t want to wake El Hub, so I went into the bathroom to quietly sob for about 10 minutes.
Yes, as long as they have some kind of elastic to keep them snug against my wrist or forearm. Cuffs are cool too. But bangles that tend to movie up and down my arm get on my nerves (and in my way when I’m typing).
Yup. Back in my high school hair bear days I’d cut them unevenly on purpose, so that when I pumped them up with hairspray they’d looked layered. Eek, I must have looked like a HOT MESS!
I’ll answer this one later, LOL! 🙂 Well, it’s a habit I’m trying to break.
Chewy semi-sweet chocolate chip, please.
Have a job working with animals (or, in my case, working for one).
Track how much time I spend fooling around throughout the work day, reward myself for completing important tasks, run at least three times by Saturday, and prepare a real dinner four times this week (real meaning not something squeezed out of a package or a can).
Did that picture at the top of the post make you drool a little bit? If it did, may I introduce you to my delicious new obsession, the avena (aka oatmeal) shake. It’s made with oatmeal, milk, sugar and cinnamon, all blended together. I read that it’s popular in Latin American countries, and I can see why. YUM!
I got the recipe from skinnytaste.com. Gina, who runs the site, recommends adding ice before blending and drinking it cold for breakfast, but since it’s been chilly here in the morning, I skip the ice and drink it lukewarm.
I’ve been having it for/with breakfast for the past couple of days. SIDE NOTE: This is probably TMI, but if you’re trying to get more fiber in your diet, one glass of this stuff will clean your pipes (sorry)!

2. What do you use to clean your makeup brushes?
I’ve been using a gentle hand soap.
3. Wide-legged jeans — yea or nay?
Yea, but like you, they have to be the right width, otherwise they look silly on my 5ft frame. 🙂

2. What do you use to clean your makeup brushes?
MAC Brush cleanser – completely agree, it’s awesome.
3. Wide-legged jeans — yea or nay?
A bit in the middle I guess. They look great… on other people. I definetly can’t pull them off; especially since I don’t wear hells. Wide legged jeans and flats just look awful – on me anyways. I’m only 5’4″. But I love how Chloe styled them in her spring 2011 (I THINK) show & on other people.
4. The last book that made you cry?
The only book I can remember that made me cry was stone fox by john reynold gardiner. That was in 2nd grade. I’m sure other books have made me cry but for now.. I just can’t seem to remember.
5. Do you wear bracelets?
Love them! I have a couple of gold bracelets that make me look instantly more chic when I’m just wearing denim shorts, a tee, and oxfords. More casual bracelets (like rope ones) are great for dressing down an outfit. I especially love something thats a bit vintage – adds some interest to the outfit.
6. Have you ever cut your own bangs?
Nope, and don’t think I ever will… but who knows. Never say never!
7. Are you a procrastinator?
Judging by how late I’m up.. I think it’s obvious that I am. But! I’m only up this late because I want to do well on my test (A+ HERE I COME – I hope).

Love sugar cookies / pepperidge farm sausalito milk chocolate cookies / OREOS.

4. The last book that made you cry? I can’t remember! So I’ll tell you that every time I see the video for Pink’s “F****** Perfect” I sob my eyes out.
5. Do you wear bracelets? Rarely. I have tiny 5 1/4 inch wrists, and it’s tough to find bracelets that don’t scooch all over. If I find a snug band, sure.
6. Have you ever cut your own bangs? I am pretty sure I did in college, and I am also pretty sure I’ve blocked the results out of my memory.
7. Are you a procrastinator? Am I doing the MBB Monday Poll instead of my laundry?
8. Favorite cookie? A vegan bakery that no longer exists made “everything” cookies the size of a pancake with dark chocolate, golden raisins, oats, brown sugar, dried cranberries, coconut, dates, and dried blueberries. Those cookies were healthy and heavenly. I once told my husband he had to try one, and I’d save him some of mine…but then I ate it all, with no regrets.
9. I always knew I’d…adopt a kitty cat. And now she is my kitty best friend.

Hi Karen,
do you mind sharing the recipe for the avena? I’m highly intrigued but the website doesn’t seem to be working. Thank you!!
Hi Burcin,
Here’s the recipe:
1/2 cup quick oats
2 cups water
1 cup fat free milk
1 cup ice
3 tbsp sugar
2 tsp ground cinammon
Cook oats and water in a small pot for about a minute or two, stirring often until it becomes thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and let it cool a few minutes.
In a blender add milk, sugar, cinammon. Add oats and ice. Blend on high until very smooth. Chill in refrigerator or pour in a glass over ice. Enjoy!! Makes 4 cups.
And a link to the site:

Sounds like you had a good day, Zara. What event do you do in track?
1. Mood: energetic, glad and proud (well, for a hile now I’ve been taking part in a surveying capmaign in one of most favourite theaters here… it’s a bit like internship, we get to see the plays for free if we are ordered in and work well… and we’re doing surveys, so it helps me dealing with my issues with talking to strangers, and I’m doing quite well… also, the actors I’ve been admiring for years now greet us and encourage us to enjoy our working and we get to use the secret routes and passages and doors in the theatre, so it’s pretty cool 😀 it was the third time I did this, and I cannot wait for more :D)
2. What do you use for cleaning your brushes? Some kind of shampoo, usually.
3. Wide-legged jeans? When they’re not too wide and made out of some dark blue denim, they’re OK, otherwise no
4. The last book that made you cry? I don’t easily cry because of books, but I cried on Flowers for Algernon last time. Such a moving story.
5. Do you wear bracelets? Only when the weather is good, because when I’m wearing long-sleeved shirts and cardigans, it’s no use of them, and I hate the feeling of something bulging under my shirt, and I’m not gonna wear them over clothes, either. Otherwise, I LOVE them, but my wrists are pretty thin, too… so if it’s not an elastic one, I usually try to make it narrower myself (like charm bracelets). I love bangles, but I have to be careful when I buy one, for the same reasons… most of them fall off of my wrist if I do a quick movement :S.
6. Have you ever cut your own bangs? My bangs, not. But when I was bored, I used to cut some strands of hair (to have the same length).
7. Are you a procrastinator? Unfortunately, yes.
8. Fave cookie? Macarons, old school chocolate chip cookies, muffins (if that’s considered a cookie, I have a huge problem with this word as a Hungarian, especially because they have alternative meanings in UK and US English, if I remember well…)
9. I always knew I’d… never stop writing, Ir’s like therapy for me :).
10. Weekly goals: Relax, buy some theatre tickets, stop being frustrated because of idiots (I had some moments in the bank today…)
