Keep looking up…
- 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:
- How do you feel about teal eyeliner?
- The name of a perfume you own but never wear?
- Have you ever noticed…
- A scent that reminds you of your teenage years?
- Where’s your favorite place to nap?
- What’s the best thing about Mondays?
- How’s your hair today?
- What’s the most important thing you look for in a lipgloss besides color?
- Weekly goals:
Well, I’m on the cusp between fussy and glad. I’ve been fighting a cold since yesterday and still feel a little run down, so I’m gonna try to take it easy today.
I feel great about it. 🙂 Not so much now in the middle of winter, but definitely in the spring and summer, especially paired with orange lips.
Chanel No. 5. I received a bottle as a gift some years back, and I’ve always liked the scent, but I still don’t quite feel like it fits me yet. I keep it, though, because I seem to like it more and more every year.
…all of the ads catering to cat ladies in Real Simple magazine? Seriously, it’s almost like every other page has something to do with kitty litter, wet food or removing cat hair from the couch.
I guess their readership includes a high percentage of cat ladies (myself included, haha!).
Bath & Body Works Juniper Breeze… I must have gone through 50 gallons of that stuff.
Either downstairs on the couch or upstairs on the floor in my office (next to Tabs, of course).
Funny, but I just realized that I never actually nap in my bed.
I like the idea of Mondays as a fresh start.
Not bad. I straightened it yesterday and haven’t washed it yet, so it isn’t frizzy, which is good, and my bangs are behaving (I’m thinking about growing them out).
Moisture. I need a ton of it because my lips get very dry.
I’m tempering my ambitions this week, so I just want to take it easy, get plenty of rest, and keep this cold at bay, if possible.
How about you? How are you doing this morning? Did you have a good weekend? I hope you were able to carve out some “me” time for yourself (it’s important).
Tabs is sitting here next to my desk watching the birds in the oak tree outside the window and purr-chirping up a storm!
I wish I felt a little better right now and we could all hang out today and do something fun (like a museum, a makeup counter or a movie), but since technology hasn’t quite gotten us there yet, for now at least, the Monday Poll will have to do. 🙂

Dominique says
1) Mood : not so good, we’re having a harsh winter and I don’t like it
2) I have never tried any eyeliner, I am allergic to it
3) Well, none ! I’ve been wearing perfumes for years now and I always wear 3 or 4 different perfumes, even when I sleep !
4 ) Have you ever noticed…. that the Web is a wonderful thing to get to know people that live far away from France ?
5) A scent that remains me of my youth ? Well lily-of-the-valley, it would grow in my grand-mother’s garden and when I reached 18 years I found Diorissimo, a perfume which has remained one of my favourites !
6) My bed !
7) Well, the best thing is that shops and boutiques are open !
8) Not good, I really need colour !
9) Moisture because my lips are very dry
10) Well, just simples things such as feeling better and resting, reading about Paris my beloved town ( I live in Bordeaux but I wish I could go to Paris ! )
Thank you Karen
Liz in Paris says
I’m the opposite – love Bordeaux but live in Paris!!
Dominique says
Well, let’s change then LOL ! Bordeaux is a quiet little town whereas Paris is quite the opposite. Of course there are beautiful wineyards here, of course we have the sea, of course it’s often sunny but there is no magical atmosphere like in Paris. You have the Marais, the Fbg St Honoré, the Quartier latin and St Germain among others, and for a beauty addict it’s better to live in Paris than in Bordeaux !
Best,
Karen says
Thank you for filling out the poll, Dominique! Have a wonderful week. 🙂

Hello,

Karen B says
Drama schools: MA musical theatre programmes. It’s rather stressy because I’m the first student who wants to go on to MA who is taking the prep course I am so it’s all a bit of a search for the right level of skills.

What’s your dog’s name, btw?
Susan says
His name is Grady…he doesn’t look like a typical Min Pin, his ears and tail were never cut (my husband and I didn’t want him to have that pain!) and he looks like a miniature black and tan hound dog instead. Of course, we think he’s pretty adorable 🙂 He goes to work with my husband every day. He operates heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, etc) and Grady is his co-pilot 🙂 He’s quite a character!

how hilarious the show Rules of Engagement is?

Anything lilac scented. My parents had a lilac tree that was near my bedroom window growing up. That smell always reminds me of springtime in that house.

Sorry you’re sick. I had to cancel today’s appointments. Been up all night with a stomach virus (severe cramps, vomiting, headache, etc…). Stayed in bed and played with my Dior and Guerlain spring eye shadow palettes.
Love vibrant teal eyeliner to perk up my eyes for an evening look.
Curve has been in the dark recesses of my bathroom cupboards for ~15 years. It’s too chemical smelling on me.
Seasonal makeup trends on some online news outlets are very ADD and will include every shade, color, and application . Nude lips, bright coral lips, pastel eye shadows, deeply pigmented shadows in vibrant colors, etc.. Just PICK a trend.
Vanilla scents started getting popular during my teen years.
I pretty much only nap in my bed.
Your Monday polls are fun to reply and read. How sad that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is my Monday evening staple. After tonight’s part 2 reunion, I’m not sure what I’ll watch, read, do…
Since I was leaning over a bucket most of the night/day, my hair is pulled back into a ponytail.
I consider the tone/shimmer in lipgloss very important since I always layer it over lipstick.
Get a pedicure using one of my new polishes.

4. Have you ever noticed…how cold weather brings out the grumpier side of people, especially on the morning commute? I’ve been elbowed out of the way more than usual this week since it snowed in London over the weekend.
5. A scent that reminds you of your teenage years? There were several, the main being White Musk from the Body Shop, which can transport me back to age 13 like nothing else, and So…?, which seemed tres chic at the time but really just smells of sweets…cheap ones at that.
6. Where’s your favorite place to nap? On the Piccadilly line (tube) to and from work.
7. What’s the best thing about Mondays? That they finish, eventually.
8. How’s your hair today? Annoying – my fringe (bangs to you) needs a trim and keeps getting in my eyes.
9. What’s the most important thing you look for in a lipgloss besides color? Moisturising qualities – I have very dry lips that are also prone to eczema if I use the wrong things on them.
10. Weekly goals: Get through the two training courses I’m on whilst also getting my day-to-day work done. And keeping good humoured about it!

Mood:
A little tired because I’ve got a cold too! But happy I have tomorrow off so I can relax around the house!
How do you feel about teal eyeliner?
One of my favourite colourful liner shades but I can only pull it off with a little streak of it on the outer corner of my lower lashline! I like it paired with bronze shadows.
The name of a perfume you own but never wear?
Versace Red Jeans – I used to love it but I guess my perfume tastes changed and now I feel like it’s just not “me”. I still like the smell, just not on myself.
Have you ever noticed…
After you’ve been sick and your nose was all stuffed up, and then it starts to clear up again, that it seems like the air stings the inside of your sensitive nostrils? Hahah gross I know but it’s like they were so protected for a few days and now it’s just harsh exposure!!
A scent that reminds you of your teenage years?
Calgon Hawaiian Ginger Body Spray – I think every girl in my high school (including me) had this stuff and sprayed it on themselves liberally after gym class and in the hallways between periods. I still have a bottle and I still love the scent!
Where’s your favorite place to nap?
In my bed if I’m really lazy or sick, but it’s so hard to get up from sleeping in bed so the couch is usually a smarter place, I don’t usually over-nap there!
What’s the best thing about Mondays?
Mondays aren’t too different from other days for me since I don’t have a regular work schedule. When I did work a Mon-Fri work week… well I didn’t care too much for Mondays! LOL I just looked at them as a chance to catch up with my favourite coworkers I guess!
How’s your hair today?
Eeeehhh… my bangs have been bothering me the last week or so and I’ve been trying to figure out what to do to fix them carefully, so I don’t do anything rash and really mess them up! But I do think it’s trim time….
What’s the most important thing you look for in a lipgloss besides color?
A tie between moisture because my lips also get REALLY REALLY dry (like Saharan desert dry) and longevity because I don’t like to reapply all the time and I have a habit of rubbing my lips together which makes it wear away quicker.
Weekly goals:
Get better from this cold, make a lot of commission at work and hopefully be able to go out and have a fun Friday night!
