- 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 four years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?
- When was the last time you played on a trampoline?
- Your favorite cereal?
- Tell me something about your morning:
- Okay, this one’s a little weird…but if you had to pick up and leave tomorrow to spend a year living in a different country, which country would it be?
- Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?
- Last time you washed your makeup brushes?
- A beauty trend that freaks you out?
- Weekly goals:
Steady, and surprisingly calm, which is a welcome change from last week, which was unusually rough for me. I’d been feeling a little run down and mentally drained, but I was able to squeeze in a whole lot of nothing last weekend, and it really helped. I slept in, did some reading, worked out a couple times, stared out the window…
Sure, the house is a mess because I didn’t do any cleaning, but today, in the greater scheme of things, I’ll take that.
Ya know, I like it. Sometimes I’ll do a swish of pastel liner along my lash lines or a slice of pastel eyeshadow on my lids — usually something more like that than an uninterrupted block of pastel color from lid to lash line, which, I don’t know, can seem a little bit much, especially if all I’ve got going on is a trip to Petco.
Um…never? But I’ve heard it’s fun.
Does oatmeal count? I think it does. 🙂
Tabs somehow shut himself in the hallway closet downstairs and must have been in there for gawd knows how long.
I hadn’t seen him in a while and just assumed he was ignoring me. I was upstairs listening to music in my office, so I couldn’t hear the meows he was undoubtedly making until I went downstairs to freshen my tea.
That’s when I heard a very upset tabby cat. “MROWWW! MEEEOW! MROWWW! DAMNIT!”
He must have zipped in there when El Hub opened the door to grab his jacket before leaving for work. Knowing Tabs, he probably assumed he’d have in-and-out closet privileges.
With no time to plan, I’d pick a place where the language would be less of a hurdle for me, like Australia, Canada or England. I’m all for adventure and learning new things, but a year is a long time. I’d want to be able to do things like buy car insurance and talk to a doctor without too much hassle.
Now, instead of leaving tomorrow, if I had a few months to prepare, I’d choose France or Spain (the food!).
Well…they looked good on Peter, and I like them on other people, but nay on me.
About an hour ago with Burt’s Bees soap (try it; it’s life changing!).
I saw some press-on French manicure toenails at the drugstore the other day and felt a little queasy.
Just to be kinder to myself than I was last week, and to try to have a little fun each and every day.
Missed you last weekend, on account of my head, which was buried in Hunger Games books. 🙂 If you have a moment and feel like checking in this morning, please do. I could use a friendly hello in today’s Monday Poll.

I bought the Burt bees soap after seeing your review to clean my Mac brushes. It works so well! I usually use my Mac cleaner. I’m only a little concerned that it leaves a waxy residue on my brushes and I’m afraid it might dry them out. Have you noticed that or anything else?

Happy!!

3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? Maybe when I was 3? I remember my Mom’s friend having a trampoline years ago. But not since then.
4. Your favorite cereal? Quaker Belgian Dark Chocolate Cruesli. It’s kind of packed with calories so I only have it as a treat, like once every two months or so.
5. Tell me something about your morning: I was pretty happy with my smoky eye today 🙂 I wore MAC’s Nebula pigment on top of the Greasepaint stick in black. Lined with YSL’s black waterproof eyeliner and some mascara. I also used MAC’s Patina for my inner corner highlight.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? France. I’d love to learn French and eat French cuisine..and maybe learn the reason behind French women always being so thin and slender. *Jealous* 🙂
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Yay, if I could find one that suited me.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? Yesterday. Sunday is my clean-the-brushes day. Usually I only wash the ones I need for the next day but on Sundays I wash almost every brush I own (about 20 brushes I think).

10. Weekly goals: Survive the week. Be positive. Be productive. Eat healthy and work out at least three times.

5. Tell me something about your morning:
I got to have a quick breakfast at a cafe with my hubby this morning! That doesn’t happen too often.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?
France, please. I don’t know any French, but I’m sure I could figure it out pretty quick 🙂
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?
Not a big fan, but I’m not opposed to them.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?
…I don’t want to talk about it. (At least a month ago. ugh.)

Nothing readily comes to mind.
10. Weekly goals:
To get a LOT more sleep than I did last week and to practice more diligently.

Owie! I did something to my neck getting out of the shower yesterday and it’s been traveling down the rest of my upper back ever since. Thank goodness I have an appointment w/ my chiropractor tonight!
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?
I’ve seen it done “right” so I’m not against it per se…but I’ve also seen it go horribly wrong (think disco Easter egg >.15 years ago now? Wow that made me feel old! They are indeed fun especially when they aren’t child-proofed w/o the netting or bars to hold on to for balance, LOL.
4. Your favorite cereal?
If oatmeal counts, then I vote steal cut oats w/ a little bit of milk, raisins and a dash of brown sugar and cinnamon. Yum!
5. Tell me something about your morning:
Today was definitely a bad clothes day. It’s waaaay warmer than it should be for March (not complaining), but I haven’t busted out any of my warmer weather work clothes yet.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?
Sweden!!! I agree w/ you on the whole wanting to be somewhere where they speak English so as to enable day to day activities such as insurance purchasing and medical visits, but I spent some time there a few years ago and it’s super easy to navigate and communicate. Plus, proximity to Europe proper is REALLY convenient. 😉
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?
Nay. I don’t get them.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?
I’m too embarrassed to answer…
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out?
Under shave haircut. I’m intrigued and freaked all at the same time. I think it would be pretty nifty for summer though. I *may* try it out yet since hair grows back, right???
10. Weekly goals:
Finish out this insanely long to-do list for work! It never ends!!!
1. Mood: Amazingly good for any day, particularly for a Monday! I didn’t sleep all that much last night (read Hunger Games till the wee hours), but at 7 this morning I woke up and felt pretty good! The sun was shining so I took the opportunity to swatch 5 nail polishes lol
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? I think it could really work, but I can’t make it work on myself. For some reason most matte shadows look a bit muddy on me, but maybe it’s because I haven’t found the right ones to try.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? A LONG time ago! The neighbors from across the street when I was living in Brussels had a trampoline. Their kids hop on that thing literally ALL THE TIME when the weather is good. I was always so tempted to go over and ask if I could play with them, but that’d be TOO awkward…
4. Your favorite cereal? Muesli with pieces of REAL DARK CHOCOLATE! It’s a guilty pleasure in disguise.
5. Tell me something about your morning: This morning I was woken up by Tango. He wasn’t even hungry, but he heard the neighbors upstairs so he decided I had also had enough sleep. The minute I woke up and opened the door to the living room, he zoomed in (with Muffin) and began taking a nap. How nice is it to be a cat right?
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? Whoa, I could literally go anywhere for that! I think I’ll survive in any big city with a lot of expats, but I speak enough Mandarin Chinese, English, and French to go anywhere these languages are spoken. Preferably somewhere the weather is nicer and warmer though :p
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Nay on myself… Most collars make me look weird!
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? Yesterday (Sunday is usually my brush cleaning day)! I used L’Occitane International Women’s Day soap. It’s super effective but with the 52% of shea butter it doesn’t strip the brushes of their moisture either. It’s a great find!
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? Not really… I guess it’s a lil weird to wear a blush as eyeshadow, but it doesn’t really freak me out!
10. Weekly goals: Keep early hours, finish Mockingjay (possibly going to the movies too but I don’t know if I’ll have the time), and blog on!
Have a great week Karen (and Tabs. Don’t sneak into the closet anymore lol)!

4. Your favorite cereal?
Honey Nut Cherrios with extra honey on top.
5. Tell me something about your morning:
We had the windows open in the bedroom b/c the weather has been mild. This morning both kitties were sharing the cat perch by the window sniffing the air and enjoying the breeze. This is rare b/c they don’t always like to share. 🙂
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?
Maybe India because I’d have family there to help me out. There’s so much to see in that country and a year would plenty of time to travel. I’d also love to try somewhere tropical like Costa Rica.

6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?: Ireland. Great people, they have Barry M and Sleek makeup, Celtic music. I’m ready to pack my bags!

1. Mood: well, a little own at heart
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? : Oh I just love it, pink is one of my favourite colours, esp. soft pink
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? : euh never !
4. Your favorite cereal? : wheat because without it no French baguette !
5. Tell me something about your morning: Well, nothing to be mentioned, really
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? Maybe Italy, near Florence
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Nay !
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? I never wash them, I always use a dry white ” essuie tout ” to take off pigments and colours ( it works well )
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? bright nail polishes on the hands, it looks so cheap on me ( I use bright colours on feet )
10. Weekly goals: stick to my routine, nothing more !
I agree, we should all be kind to ourselves this week….we are all probably too hard on ourselves in general!
1. Mood:
~Tired. I don’t know why but I’ve been feeling really run down and a little stressed, despite working out and doing yoga.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?
~I like it sometimes. I mainly stick to pastel pinks and blues, though.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline?
~Ooooohhh, not in a while. It is a lot of fun and great exercise though!
4. Your favorite cereal?
~Lucky Charms. I’m such a kid at heart!
5. Tell me something about your morning:
~Slept in, read some new magazines, and watched some thunderstorms up here in the mountains of MD.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?
~I like time to plan, too, but I would pick England or Ireland and go there to ride and train horses. Irish horses are some of the best around! I also couldn’t just get up and go somewhere that I don’t speak the language.
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?
~I guess nay, since I don’t wear them much or at all.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?
~A week ago, but I will have to try that Burt’s Bees soap trick!
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out?
~Fake toenails. People don’t realize that fake fingernails and toenails harbor a lot of bacteria (which is why we are not allowed to have fake fingernails in the healthcare world). There are so many nail strengtheners and nail growers out there, and if people get fake toenails to cover up brittle toenails or toenail fungus, there are remedies for that, too. In fact, the fake toenails would make either of those issues a lot worse.
10. Weekly goals:
~Go running, work out to some new videos, cook more this week even if I’m bored with what we have in the house, and work on getting signed up for various forms of continuing education now that I am finally done with my bachelor’s 🙂

6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? Ooooh! That would be so exciting! I’d probably pick Spain or something.. I love Spain and speak Spanish pretty well.
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? I think they can look really cute, but can end up looking like a disaster sometimes! Yaynay?
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? I haven’t washed them all at once for awhile, but I try to wash my concealer brush most often as I use it to cover acne :S
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? Really pointy nails that look lake claws! or permanent makeup (if that counts as a trend).
10. Weekly goals: Get lots of schoolwork done without getting too stressed out while still giving myself time to relax 🙂
Have a great week Karen and everyone!
1. Mood: Very tired. Even though I went to bed early last night, I only got 2 hours of sleep. I tossed and turned for 5 hours straight, and during that time I did not have a single moment of unconsciousness. I won’t let myself take a nap today, otherwise I’ll end up going to bed late tonight.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?: Never, since pastels look terrible on me. I personally think that pastels are nasty colors that very few people look good in.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline?: About 5 years ago.
4. Your favorite cereal?: Trix.
5. Tell me something about your morning: My morning felt like the beginning of “Fight Club”. Specifically the part where The Narrator’s day at work is all wacky and unfocused since he’s suffering from insomnia.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?: Probably Austria, since I have family there. With its location, I’d also be able to visit other European countries easily.
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?: Nay. I’ve never been a fan of them.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?: …Quite a while ago. Must clean them tonight.
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out?: Long, fake nails horrify me. Last week, a girl in my one class was trying to eat a bag of Cheetos with her 1.5 inch fake nails. It was disgusting.
10. Weekly goals: Actually get homework done. I also need to clean my room and go through my closet, so I can give clothes I no longer wear to charity.
1. Mood: Excited. Going on a trip to Barcelona tomorrow.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? No, I dislike pastels, both for makeup and clothes.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? Can’t remember. At least 15 years ago.
4. Your favorite cereal? Nestle Fitness with dark chocolate.
5. Tell me something about your morning: I usually spend at least 15 minutes looking out of the window with a cup of coffee. I love looking at the street below coming to life and getting busy.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? This actually happened to me when I was a kid. It wasn’t exactly tomorrow, but at a two-week notice. My mom got a great job opportunity in Cyprus so we just packed the essentials and left and stayed for 18 months.
But if I could pick one, it would probably be France or Italy. Anywhere in Europe would do since that’s where I live anyway, so I wouldn’t be far from home. Outside of Europe, the US, preferably Boston.
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Yay. I think they can look quite chic if done properly.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? Last week.
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? Those diamond-encrusted teeth that Kanye West sported a few years back.

8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? A week ago
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? tattoo’g lipstick on or even brows/liner
10. Weekly goals:Get through this week at work.
1. Mood: Out of it and a bit cranky. Today was the first day of school after a (very short) Spring Break. Bleh. I’m going to weasel back into my bed soon.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? Nay! I rarely see pastels working on clothing, let alone makeup. I just don’t find them flattering.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? Good question…I don’t know!
4. Your favorite cereal? I love those Quaker Oatmeal Squares or the Special K cereals.
5. Tell me something about your morning: It was difficult getting up, and I missed breakfast because of it.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? First thought was Canada, too. I actually think there’s a lot you can explore in such a large country like that.
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Yay (or yea?) I think they’re youthful, and this trend I can see working on most people.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? Last night. WIth MAC Brush Cleanser.
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? Agreed with the talon nails trend (you could hurt someone or yourself with those daggers!). I don’t mind so much tattooed eyebrows because I’ve seen some that don’t look too artificial, but I can’t understand why one would be compelled to shave off her hairs, then create new ones with a totally unflattering shape. Wouldn’t you at least want shape and structure?
10. Weekly goals: Honestly – just to get through the week (I’m hormonal). Start homework & reading I procrastinated on during break.
Karen, what did you think of that Walking Dead season finale?!
1) AMAZING ZOMBIE OUTBREAK! The burning barn! The blood! Yesss.
2) Lori. Go away. Your reaction to Rick’s confession was selfish. She egged him on earlier in the season.
3) Rick caught the Crazy really quickly. It was gonna come at some point, but I didn’t imagine him losing it so suddenly.
4) Andrea is a BAMF. I can’t believe she held off into the morning!
5) WHOA, KATANA LADY. You’re a BAMF, too.
I’m kinda bummed that this entire season was just a setup to the predictably-more-thrilling events next season. I hope the group is done bickering so much.
1. Mood: Tired! Can’t get my act together vis-a-vis going to bed at a non-ridiculous hour lately. And also tense, I have a lot of things going on this week/past week including a job interview! NERVOUS!
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?: Hmm, not for me I think. Although who knows? I’ll try it out!
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? Probably a couple of years ago. Although I used to compete in trampolining! I can do a mean back somersault 🙂
4. Your favorite cereal? Not a big cereal fan, so anything super sugary and bad for you…Nesquik probably.

7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Nay, I hate having high collars, I feel like I’m being choked!
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? Last Tuesday I think. I was going to do it yesterday but I got distracted watching Homeland 🙂 and then today, but then pancakes! I will definitely do it tomorrow…
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? Anything related to tanning basically. Fake bottle tan, spray tan, tanning beds…people should accept the colour they are and love it! Plus I find it strange that some people go to so much effort to get skin the colour of mine, when us “minorities” (ugh, hate that word!) still face prejudice because of it. What a strange world…
10. Weekly goals: Oh man, eat at least one piece of fruit this week! Nail the interview 🙂 Do some writing work. Have fun!
Ewww! Press on fingernails are bad enough- press on toenails sound extra creepy!
1. Mood: sleepy… It’s cold and rainy here today (YAY!), but it’s making me want to curl up and read a book rather than do boring and productive chores.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? It looks good on other people. I feel like I’m already too pasty and pale to pull it off.

5. Tell me something about your morning: I had a smoothie for breakfast.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? Italy! I would move there in an instant if I could.

1. Mood: a little grumpy! I had some sort of allergic reaction, and my right eyelid has been swollen and sore! I bought some eyedrops that are helping, but I want to wear eye makeup! wahhh
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? not on me. I basically look good in neutrals, golds, bronzes, etc, and that’s what I usually stick with.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? a year or two ago? My cousins have one and I play with them sometimes, except I don’t have the stamina!
4. Your favorite cereal? Rice Chex lately… gluten-free!
5. Tell me something about your morning: Woke up with my eyelid even more swollen than yesterday, and a very whiny kitty!
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? France! I speak it fluently, and I miss Bretagne terribly (where I did my study abroad). I’ve never been to England, but I’d like to go there too!
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? nay nay nay.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? a week or two ago?
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? fake nails in any way, shape, or form. tacky, and gross! I had a boss at a restaurant who wore talons, and I’m like… that is NOT SANITARY for a waitress.
10. Weekly goals: 3 cardio workouts, study for my Managerial Accounting exam (on Wednesday)
1. Mood:
In pain. I need a root canal in one of my lower teeth and I can’t get in until Thursday. The pain is INDESCRIBABLE.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?
I think I look good in pastel makeup, but it depends on the color.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline?
When I was 14.
4. Your favorite cereal?
Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms.
5. Tell me something about your morning:
It was awful! I woke up to my tooth screaming in pain! I was like, “This is going to be a LONG three days.” I have no idea how I’m going to survive. The good thing was Zena knew and pretty much coddled me!
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?
France. I need a place to fully immerse myself to fully learn the language, and what better place than France? Plus, I love most French food.
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?
A big YAY for me. They look really good on me!
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?
Last week Sunday. I should probably wash them. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Pointy nails. You know, the ones that are shaped into a point. They look like they can hurt somebody!

6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? I really want to go to Bora Bora, that’s where I would go! And I would sit in the sun and drink fruity drinks all day every day!
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Nay! Again, too precious of a look for me. I’m not a cutesy girl.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? Sunday, it’s cleaning makeup day!
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? What I really don’t like is when a woman dyes the top of her hair platinum, but leaves the under part dark or dyes it dark.
10. Weekly goals: Get some exercise, get some sleep, unpack a box or two.
1. Mood:
It’s a good one! I’m mostly just excited that we’ve rounded the final lap in our much anticipated race for the Hunger Games movie night.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?
Not a fan. I find it looks a little like you have some kind of skin irritation or kidney failure because it’s just a wash. If I’m wearing makeup, I want people to see it, not ask if I’m an afternoon drinker.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline?
Last summer at my (now) Ex boyfriend’s house. gotta take em down for those cold Canadian winters, though.

8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?

Run in between rugby practises, make lunches everyday, find wallet, enjoy movie 🙂
1. Mood:
Pretty good, looking very much forward to me and the gf’s 2 year anniversary on Wednesday 🙂
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts?

3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline?
Haha, oh man, yeeeears ago!
4. Your favorite cereal?
I don’t know that I could ever choose! Top cereals include: honey bunches of oats, cinnamon toast crunch, Reese’s puffs, special k vanilla almond,. Can you tell I like sweets !

France
France, France, France, in a heartbeat. If you had 2 tickets and a magic kitty transporter to give me, (maybe a magic stuff transporter too!), Â I’d leave tomorrow!
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?
Had to google this one lol, they look like they’d be cute in a retro way!
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?
A few days ago I washed a few, will wash my foundation brush tonight. With my new foundation I find I have to wash my brush pretty often, it gets kinda stiff, but it’s totally worth it because it’s HG on an epic level. The new Lancôme Teint Idole 24HR = absolute love!!!!Â
(I have oily very acne prone skin with big angry red bumps, large pores, and some dry areas around treated pimples, and in a rush i can even toss this on without concealer and leave the house feeling perfectly confident!! )
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out?
Arent there luxury products with caviar in them? Yech!! Dead fish eggs on my face, no thanks!!! (also note that I’m a vegetarian, so double no way)

1.) Mood: Happy 🙂 My bf of 5 years just got accepted into Paramedic school on Friday!!
2.) Pastel Eye Makeup: I only really wear pastels if it’s a highlight color, like a pastel peach/pink or yellow. I do really wanna try a pastel purple eyeliner for spring though!
3.) When was the last time you played on a trampoline? 6 or 7 years ago I think…
4.) Your favorite cereal? The new Frosted Toast Crunch!! It’s sooo much better than the original..
5.) Tell me something about your morning: I slept in (rare on a Monday)…and then I ate some frosted toast crunch! haha
6.) You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? Japan! Looooove the culture annnd the Japanese makeup brands are amazzzzing! I would be coming home with like 5 suitcases full!! Korea would be cool too for the same reason.
7.) Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? I’m not a fan of the peter pan collars when they are really tight and high up on the neck…however, I do like tops that have the peter pan collar type fabric flaps, but that are a little lower cut a more flowy (if that makes any sense to you..)
8.) Last time you washed your makeup brushes? I have a sad confession for a beauty junkie…I hardly ever use makeup brushes. I know, it’s crazy… I usually either use my fingers or 1 or 2 of the multitasking or dual-ended brushes I do have. I try to wash them every 2 weeks or so since I don’t use them every day. But I wipe them with a face wipe after each use. I am secretly coveting a Mac 188 Brush though! (I think thats the one, it’s the smaller 187)
9.) A beauty trend that freaks you out? There are a few…really long fingernails, feather extensions (I just wonder if they really clean those feathers all that well), bad self-tan jobs, really thick eyebrows, women having bones in their feet removed so they can fit into Jimmy Choos..ya know, the usual
10.) Weekly Goals: I agree with you on this one Karen 🙂 I think that being kinder to yourself is an amazing goal any day !

Stressed! Heaps of tests and exams coming up TT TT

5. Tell me something about your morning:
Every morning I stay in bed till the last minute and then rush like crazy without doing my makeup.
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country?
JAPAN! I love the customer service, the MAKEUP (of course) and the people! I never feel like an outsider there <3
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay?
Big YAY! They are the cutest things… but maybe because it's because I'm still in my teens.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes?
Maybe a week ago…?
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out?

10. Weekly goals:

Um, I’m officially renaming this the Tuesday Poll for me. I can never seem to get here on Monday! 🙂
1. Mood: Today, much better. Had a touch of the flu for the last few days and, despite yesterday being my b’day, I was stuck in meetings all day long.
2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? Pink and peach are OK on me. Blues and greens, not so much.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? Oh, gosh, I had my friends’ mini tramp and used to bounce around on my nephew’s moon shoes but that was before the knee surgery. So, maybe 4 years ago? I’ve never been on a giant, backyard one, sadly.
4. Your favorite cereal? Well, I’m not really a cereal person. Maybe I’d pick Cinnamon Life.
5. Tell me something about your morning: I bounded out of the house for work in shorts today (it’s supposed to be in the high 70s) and got hit with a cloud of my own breath because it was only 40 degrees. Happily, it’s warmed up to the 70s now, but that was quite a shocker!
6. You’re leaving tomorrow to spend a year in which country? Definitely Canada – it’s about 1/4 of a mile from me so it would be almost like living at home so I’d see my friends and family every day. Like you, if I had some prep time (and could bring all my people with me!), I’d choose Italy, Germany or Switzerland.
7. Peter Pan shirt collars: yay or nay? Nay for me – I try to stick to v-neck only.
8. Last time you washed your makeup brushes? You’re supposed to wash your makeup brushes??? 🙂
9. A beauty trend that freaks you out? I don’t know if this counts as either beauty or a trend, but I’m a little freaked out by seeing huge gauges in people’s earlobes. I mean, to each his own, but it kind of creeps me out to be able to see through someone’s ear.
10. Weekly goals: Feed my family a healthy dinner every night this week. No take out!
1. Mood: Meh. I just got back from NYC, and although it was great, travelling makes me crazy tired.

2. Pastel eye makeup: your thoughts? Personally I don’t say no to any coloured eye make-up. Of all the make-up locations I sort of figure it to be a free for all. On me personally? Once or twice but not really.
3. When was the last time you played on a trampoline? Last year when I went to gymnastics with a friend for a matter of weeks – we are talking a proper trampolining tramp as well – soo much fun
4. Your favorite cereal? Just Right. Seriously the catch cry ‘not to heavy, not to light – its just right’ is exactly how it is for me.
