You might be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past NINE (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Recent junk food craving?
Yesterday it was a huge plate of fries and a veggie burger with cheese and avocado…and a tall vanilla milkshake to wash it down.I didn’t get it, though, because, well, I had leftovers at home that I wanted to finish, but soon…
Right now I could go for a pancake breakfast from McDonald’s. 🙂 I haven’t had one of those in ages.
- How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
I’ll never know how Ri-Ri pulls it off, because GIRL — I’d be a mess!When my nails get even a millimeter beyond the tips of my fingers, I feel completely non-functional, so I can’t imagine… How would I change Connor’s diapers, or type, or pet Tabs, or wash dishes, or apply eyeliner, or chop fruit?
I’d probably end up in the hospital.
- Has anything funny happened to you lately?
Well, I was taking out the garbage last week one night and accidentally dropped my keys into the bin.Please note: never, EVER accidentally drop your keys into a large garbage bin, especially down at the curb at night, because getting them out is a comedy of errors.
Of course, my keys dropped all the way down to the bottom of the bin and, of course, our bin is unusually huge, so I couldn’t just reach down into the bin and get them out, so I had to take ALL OF THE GARBAGE BAGS out of the bin, one at a time, and stack them up around me, and then use a shovel to reach down into the bin and fish out my keys.
Also, I couldn’t see what I was doing because it was dark outside…
It was like a sitcom sketch.
- How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
Just enough to flavor, I guess, without overtaking the dish.Like, if I’m eating a plate of broccoli, I want it to actually taste like broccoli, ya know?
For heat, I’m a total wimp. I don’t mind a little because it keeps things interesting, but when a dish is hot for the sake of setting your mouth on fire, I can’t handle it.
- What was your last major makeup fail?
LOL! I wore a red liquid lipstick to run errands a couple weeks ago and somehow ended up with lipstick smeared outside my lip line.No kidding — I looked like the Joker, and I looked that way for hours because El Hub, who was with me the entire time, failed to say anything!
I honestly don’t know if he was secretly laughing at me on the inside (because that’s something I’d totally do), or if he thought I did it intentionally, or if he was just paying absolutely no attention whatsoever.
The Joker.
That’s how I looked.
Your turn. 🙂 Just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em!
1. Recent junk food craving?
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
Here, sweets, let me get you some coffee. I think I’m gonna need the real stuff today.
Cream? Sugar? Jar of Nutella and a spoon? Here ya go…
How many times have we spent our Mondays together? If you’ve been visiting MBB since the start, that could be 494 Mondays!
Wow, that’s a lot of Mondays…
Today my main goal is to savor the little things, like this hot cup of coffee, the tapping sound of my fingers on the keyboard (it’s comforting), a cat on my lap and Connor’s smile.
Hi, friend. 🙂 What’s on your to-do list today?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Chris25 says
1. Recent junk food craving?: Chicken nuggets from Burger King.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?: If I was allowed to exact revenge on my numerous enemies, I think I’d do well!
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?: I work at a medical office. A patient filled out out forms, and where it says Single/Married, etc, she filled in the Single line with “know anyone?”I cracked up when i read that!
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?: A fair amount. I’m of Indian descent. I can handle it. 😛
5. What was your last major makeup fail?: Too white highlighter under my eyes. I can’t wait to use up this Clinique highlighter. It’s too pale for me.
Karen says
Have a great week, Chris!
Cherie says
1. Recent junk food craving? Chocolate cake. I’ve got a nasty cold and have been craving chocolate goodness…
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week? ummmmm….they’d be off as soon as they were on…..I hate the feeling of nails digging into me so I’ve had short nails all my life….otherwise it would be a complete disaster..broken nails and all.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately? sadly, no…..been under the weather….
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food? Bring it on… I apparently would not eat a banana as an infant unless my mother put chilli powder on it…LOVE spicy foods, but I too would prefer it to not overwhelm other flavors especially in a gourmet dish.
5. What was your last major makeup fail? Tarte’s Lights, Camera, Lashes…I just can’t figure out how to use it.
Karen says
Feel better soon, Cherie!
Shannon says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Well, now that you’ve got me thinking about it, I’m dying for some pumpkin bread! Mm mm mm. It’s still summery in NYC, so I’m trying to coax fall into being by indulging in pumpkin-everything. 🙂
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
eeh…. I’d probably be a bit of a mess, at least at the beginning of the week. I like to think I would figure out how to deal after a couple of days, though. Or, y’know, I’d just run around with my elbows pinned to my sides and hands out in front of me, pretending to be a velociraptor 🙂
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
So, my husband and I went shopping on Saturday to get some crock-pot fare for the week ahead. At the meat case, my hubs held up two pork butts and asked me, “do you think these will both fit in our crock pot?” I immediately answered “no,” but he assessed for another second and thought he could “probably make it work.” I gave him the side eye, but figured he was cooking – plus, he was pretty enthusiastic about it, so I decided to let it go & let him figure it out. We went home, he threw everything in the crock pot, and we went out to see some music. When we got home again, the pork had expanded enough to hold the lid up on the pot. The hubs decided to cover the top with aluminum foil and crimp it down, to get around the lid-isn’t-working thing. You could smell porky deliciousness all night as the crock put worked its magic, but when we woke up in the morning, there was meat juice ALL OVER the counter & floor in the kitchen! I couldn’t help but chuckle as we mopped up the drippings. I just kept picturing the hubs at the store, and the excited look on his face as he asked, “do you think these will both fit in the crock pot?” lol. No, dear, they won’t!
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
Mm, I like a good amount of spice! Especially if it’s delicious/balanced. I don’t like fire for fire’s sake (I once ate part of a ghost pepper, BLECH) but I do like a bit of heat – in fact, I put a sprinkle of cayenne in my ginger molasses cookies!
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
The last 2 times I tried to wear a neutral lippy… and my boss asked “are you feeling okay? You look really pale.” *sigh* I just KNOW there’s a neutral lip color out there for me, but it’s hiding pretty darn good!!
I wasn’t quite ready for Monday this week, but I’m trying to make the best of it! I’ve had a pretty peaceful mindset recently, and I’d like to keep that going. My to-do list so far consists of “figure out what to put on to-do list,” lol. 🙂 So maybe I’ll figure that out over my lunch break.
Karen says
Oooh, good think you don’t have cats! If Tabs found those drippings he would’ve been all over them in a second.
Did the dish turn out OK despite the mess?
Shannon says
Haha, if only! I’m not sure kitties would’ve been inclined, since it was Jerk Pulled Pork, and therefore a little spicy. It turned out quite nicely, though! It’s sitting patiently in the fridge, waiting for us to cook some rice and have an easy dinner.
I have a sneaking suspicion there’s some grease under our flooring that will be there forevermore… oh well. 🙂
Efrain says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Antojitos: various kinds of Mexican food that is fried and goes with sour cream and sauce. I got them on Thursday because it was Independence Day here.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
I’m not sure if I will survive, specially because going to the bathroom must be a challenge. Also everyday I’ll be cleaning them like a MOFO.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
It was my friends birthday two weeks ago and we broke a piñata but it was funnier because it was blind folded and with a tequila shot. Let’s just say that it was funny because floor was slippery and we’re savage.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
I like my food a little spicy, enough to taste the chili but not enough to need a gallon of water. Depending of the food I like it hot for example soups are way better hot.
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
Lately I think I haven’t made any major makeup fail, maybe only having lipstick on my teeth but my friend told me immediately.
I’m sick and in school so it’s not the best day today but at least I feel better than yesterday because I got a really bad cold.
A key-related story: I thought I lost mine while going late to class and after class I forgot my umbrella, after searching for them I gave up but in the next class the professor gave me the umbrella and when I took it I felt a bump that was my keys. So I think life gave me another opportunity.
I’m not sure how many Monday’s have we been through, two or three years?
Karen says
I think it might be three! The time goes by fast, doesn’t it?
Hope you feel better soon. Drink lots of liquids and get some vitamin C into your system.
Syah says
1. Recent junk food craving?
None, lately. I only crave junk food when I’m nearing my period. 🙂
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
Not well. I like doing things with my hands like cooking, laundry…even washing my face. Long pointy nails are fun for a night out maybe but not much else.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
Hm…nothing to report unfortunately. Unless you count my cat joining me for yoga while I was in Goddess pose. She sat right on my legs and I couldn’t bear to move so I hung out in savasana for 10 minutes.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
Enough to flavor the food, not too much to overwhelm it. Spices are great but you have to use the right amounts and the key is balance!
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
Trying out a new lipstick and then finding that it faded into a 90s lip liner situation at the end of the day. Not flattering.
Karen says
LOL! Cat yoga! Tabs loves getting into the mix during downward dog. He lays down in the center of the mat underneath me and refuses to move. Silly kitties. 🙂
Syah says
hahah! yea i have a pic of it on my insta stories. 😛 Tabs is the cutest!!! My cat, Delima, looks like a little runt next to him.
Kiss & Make-up says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Chocolate! (always)
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
Badly. I’d probably poke my eye out on day 1 and accidentally tear my husband to shreds.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
Not that I recall.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
Medium.
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
Went to an event a couple weeks back and when I got home I noticed I had mascara flakes under my eyes. Don’t know how long they’d been there but if there were already there at the event: oops.
Karen says
Yum! I’m all about chocolate. Semi-sweet, please!
Chelsea says
1. Recent junk food craving?
I wanted ice cream yesterday, bought it, ate about half of it. It was from a local homemade place, I got Bittersweet Chocolate.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
My nails are quite long right now, they grow quickly. I think I could mostly do it.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
Um, this is technically to my mom but Tinkerbell brought a live baby turtle inside. She gS too many mom instincts, she saved a little baby bird who had fallen out of its best in the spring. I keep telling them to get her foster kitties.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
I’m a baby, no heat please. Even black pepper and mild peppers can be too much for me. I’m on fire when I eat butter chicken.
5. What was your last major makeup fail? Liquid lipstick on my teeth last weekend.
Karen says
Girl, lipstick on teeth is the story of my life, LOL!
Happy Monday to you!
LindaLibraLoca says
1. Recent junk food craving?
None. I was on holiday in France last week and ate so much junk and sweets I am satisfied for at least… well, a few days maybe.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
If I had the accompanying entourage that does everything for me that needs your hand, well probably. If I had to live my life the usual way, I couldn’t do it.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
Funny. Not really. I dropped a heavy kitchen chair on my foot earlier tonight, but that wasn´t funny. It was just painful.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
None at all. If I cook for myself, I just skip spice completely. And I cant handle any heat.
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
A concealer that oxidized like crazy, so I ended up with dark orange spots all over my face.
Karen says
So jealous of your holiday in France! Where did you go?
LindaLibraLoca says
South of France, near the Mediterranean Sea and close to the Spanish border. I blogged everything, but the short-cut is: I ate. A lot.
Erin says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Pancakes too… I haven’t had any.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
I’m not sure. I used to have exceptionally long nails in the 90’s.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
Yes, My cat was resting on my chest while I was watching TV. There was a commercial with a Mastiff licking it’s chops, and my cat freaked out. She stayed very stil but her head swiveled all the way around looking for him because it didn’t sound like Elroy. Then with the same horrified look, she slowly slunk around the room making sure he wasn’t there still. Normally they are both exceptional about knowing sounds on tv vs RL so it was pretty funny.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
I can take a lot, I just ate some straight harrisa last night.
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
I used a primer I’d never used before and it made my skin so dry it made my foundation look terrible. I was also testing a new eye pencil that sucked and crumbled when I used it. I looked like a flaky raccoon
Karen says
Aww, poor kitty! Tabs freaks out too when he hears dogs barking on TV!
Jaclyn levy says
1. French fries. And alcohol. and chips. Mmmmm.
2. Terrible! I don’t get them, at all! I keep mine pretty short.
3. I mixed up and drank a protein shake this morning as I got ready to go to the gym. As I was leaving the guy we hired to pressure wash our enormous driveway pulled up so I jumped out to say hi and chat a bit. After I got back into my car I looked in the rear view mirror and to my horror saw dried shake caked onto my lips! Embarrassing.
4. I like spice although I agree I like my food to taste like it’s supposed to. But I like enough heat in Mexican food to make my nose run a bit. 🙂
5. According to my mom: blue lipstick. According to me: the time I only finished one eye before going out for the day.
Karen says
Hi Jaclyn,
Oh no! Did anyone notice that you only had one eye done?
Tatiana says
1. Recent junk food craving? Truffle mac n cheese. It’s what I had in the freezer. But really, any carb plus cheese will do.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week? I would die. Poke my eye out or some such mishap. Not good with long nails.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately? Not really. Boring life here.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food? These days just enough to bring out the flavors. I used to be all about Hunan Restaurant in The City. My stomach can’t handle it anymore.
5. What was your last major makeup fail? Saturday I spent the day in The City and Bloomies had the Charlotte Tilbury line. I let the girl put some cream eye shadow, liner and mascara on me. It was 4pm. By the time I went to the restroom after dinner (we had 6pm reservations) it was a smeary mess. Sigh. Going to be returning the liner. Chanel, MUFE and Urban Decay are my go to’s for liners.
I have so much catching up to do today. It was over 90 degrees here yesterday so I stayed in all day and did Dear Husband’s laundry for him, since he had to go to work.
Karen says
Hihi! Did you just get back from your trip? How was it?
Tatiana says
We did Portland over the Labor Day weekend. Other than the hotel we stayed in, it was great. Lots of good food. Went to Powell’s bookstore every day, sometimes twice a day. Weather was cool, which I like. We had sun two days. I’m still stunned that Dear Husband took five days off from work.
Suzanne C says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Brownies. But it’s almost always brownies with me. Fudgy, fudgy brownies.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
I wouldn’t get anything done! I hate having long nails; I feel like Wolverine trying to type.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
No. There is absolutely nothing funny about buying or selling a house. I can’t believe my head hasn’t exploded yet. I’ve had a 9 day headache.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
I love to cook and use a variety of spices. I don’t like bland food. But I can’t handle much heat. Just enough to be pleasantly warmish is good.
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
I was in a hurry Saturday morning and stupidly tried a new shade in my Urban Decay Naked Smokey palette. It didn’t go well at all.
Karen says
Hi Suzanne,
Your makeup fail sounds like something I would do! Have you ever tried doing winged liner when you were in a hurry? I have multiple times. You think I’d learn my lesson but alas… NOPE! lol
kwmechelle says
1. Recent junk food craving? McDonald’s French fries. I prolly had them 2-3 times last week. I’m not a McD’s girl, save for their hot cakes & sausage (which I also had last week). But the salty fries, dipped in ketchup, totally give me mah fix. And it works every. Time.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week? I’d also have to be admitted to the hospital. My nails don’t really grow. At least not very long. But I always wonder how a girl takes care of things when Mother Nature calls, you know? Like, how does one get comfortably clean after a visit to the John? TMI, I know. But I’m one for being practical, and long nails just ain’t it.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately? Not really funny but fun. We took the niece & nephews to Busch Gardens over the weekend. It was epic. My eight year old niece (really, 8 years old??!! 🙁 ) is a dare devil & we rode a couple of coasters twice, including the gigantic monster- the Griffin. Her 4 yr old brother & 8 yr old cousin were less than enthused- about every ride. They screamed, like girls, on most rides. It was so funny that other riders were cracking up & laughing out loud at their antics. It was a beautiful memory made & a joyous occasion.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food? Ooohh, I like a lot. Not enough to set my mouth on fire. But def enough to warrant a drink of water with the meal. I kinda go ham with wasabi sauce on my sushi rolls.
5. What was your last major makeup fail? I’ve failed, majorly, at winged liner for 3 days (!!!) straight. So much so, that I had to rectify the situation with concealer and/or blend out the liner to create a soft & diffused look into the outer V along with my eyeshadow. I may have to give up my winged liner license for awhile. Yup, it’s that’s bad 🙁
Karen says
No way, dude! I won’t let you give up! Have you tried using surgical tape to map out your wings? You can find it next to the Band-Aids. It works like a charm. Of course, you could use regular old tape too…
Kate & Zena says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Froot Loops. Like seriously, I crave Froot Loops.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
If I got them Tuesday, they’d last until Tuesday evening. If I can’t get my contacts out, the nails get chopped.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
I volunteered at the place where I take my horse lessons on Friday, and two of our ponies – Ernie and Clementine – are constantly being caught rolling in the shavings so we’re constantly brushing these two ponies.
Well, I went to check on all of the horses and ponies and see if they needed anything and saw Clementine had rolled around in the shavings AGAIN (I had brushed her out once all ready that day) and she was rubbing her rump against the walls. I couldn’t help but start laughing as she was probably trying to get the itchy shavings away from sensitive areas. She’s one of our sensitive horses, so we can only use very soft brushes on her and we have to be gentle or she’ll try to nip you. I still don’t think I brushed out all of the shavings out of her dense tail!
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
Not a lot!
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
Friday. I didn’t wear waterproof mascara. Humid heat + lots of exercise doing barn chores = runny mascara! I looked like Harley Quinn after a few hours.
Karen says
Hi Kate,
I think it’s super cool that you get to be around horses. I’ve always wanted to learn to ride.
Is there a horse there that’s extra special to you?
Rachel S. Runyan says
Hi! Nothing much going on today. I got my nails filled and a new gel manicure. Black glossy cream with glittery rose gold accent nails. I spent way too much on makeup Friday. lol I ordered the UD Junkie Vice Lipstick palette and the Tarte Amazonian Blush Color Wheel from Sephora. I ordered Gash eyeshadow and UV-B lipstick from the Urban Decay website. Then I went to Ulta to swatch Vice lipsticks, and ended up taking home Seismic and the Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette, plus the Razor Sharp eyeliner in Retrograde. I’m trying to be good now. lol
1. Recent junk food craving? Donuts. I’ve been resisting so far.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week? I’d be missing at least one eye by the end of the week.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately? Not really
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food? I like lots of spices such as pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, all-spice, etc. I can stand really hot cinnamon and ginger, but weirdly, I don’t do so well with red pepper, cayenne, cumin, and so on.
5. What was your last major makeup fail? I popped UD Seismic over Ofra x Kathleen Lights Havana Nights liquid lipstick. I loved how it looked, but forgot I added Seismic, and that my lipstick was no longer budge-proof. I drank and got deep wine staining all over my chin. Not pretty.
Katie says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Reese’s Puffs cereal, which I buy approximately once a year to keep my inner child from dying
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
As a nurse I think my patients would be most unappreciative! How do you scratch your nose? Wipe your bum? Avoid poking someone’s eye out??
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
My mom is helping me plan (okay, she’s doing most of it…) my wedding, which is coming up in a few weeks. She called me the other night for something, and as it was evening we signed off at the end of the call with “G’night, Love you” “Love you too, bye”. Throughout the evening she called about five more times, and it became progressively more hilarious each time 🙂
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
Just enough to keep it a little warm but retain the flavors. I recently had to stop ordering my most beloved Camarones a la Diabla at my favorite Mexican place because it has become so painful to eat it’s impossible to enjoy. I ain’t afraid of no spice, but keeping it more flavor than heat is my style.
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
Probably every time I use black eyeliner. No matter how waterproof, I always end up with SUPER smudges in my tear ducts and just under my tear ducts. There was also a time before work last week when I was using a tinted eyebrow gel with a lot of pigment to finish my brows…and I jerked my hand and got a big ol’ smudge on my right brow. Panic ensued, but I managed to fix it before I had to leave for work. Phew!
Georgia says
1. Recent junk food craving? Cheetos!
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week? Contacts and some housework would be difficult, but otherwise I think I could do it.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately? No
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food? A LOT! I like HOT! and spicy! Bring it!
5. What was your last major makeup fail? It Cosmetics “Illuminating” CC cream. It was supposed to be glowy. BIG fail on my skin! I don’t like full coverage and this was full and then it settled into every single nook, cranny, wrinkle, line, pore – all that I knew I had and then it illuminated those that I’d never seen before on my skin. Made me look about 300 years old. It went into the trash – I didn’t even want to bother to return it
Lupe Hernandez says
Oh god! It’s a fear of mine to drop the keys into the bin. I wouldn’t want to go through the trash.
1. Recent junk food craving?
A giant slice of pepperoni pizza.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
I’d probably rip my contact in my eye with those. Therefor, I wouldn’t last too long.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
Nope. Pretty boring in my life lately.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
I love spicy food! But I’d probably keep it at something mild.
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
My smokey eye came out a bit too dramatic. My sister asked if I was going to the club. -_-
Mel. B. says
1. Recent junk food craving? Deep fried breaded pickles!! They were pretty good.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week? No way. I work with young children.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately? Always something funny happens. I just can’t think of anything at the moment.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food? Love spicy food. Can’t get enough.
5. What was your last major makeup fail? This happens all the time…my mascara streaks under my eye. Gives me raccoon eyes.
Lulle says
1. Recent junk food craving?
Ice-cream!
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week?
I’d probably end up with multiple scratch wounds on my face, especially around my nose and eyes, lol! And I would wear my contacts for a week…
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately?
I can’t think of anything right now!
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food?
Good question, growing up in France I was absolutely not used to hot foods, and I had a few uncomfortable culinary experiences when I first moved to Turkey, where Middle-Eastern spices are commonly used. I was still very sensitive to heat when I moved to Southern California and my first meals at Mexican and Thai restaurant were disasters, lol! But within a couple years I got used to it and now I enjoy a good hot sauce on my eggs, a hint of jalapeno here and there or a medium curry. Not too spicy, because I still want to taste my food, but a bit of heat to give the flavors an edge, yes!
5. What was your last major makeup fail?
Poking my eyes with a stupid fat mascara brush… I hate wide brushes, why did I buy this mascara??
Kim says
OMG on the keys, but I thought you were going to say you got IN the bin. Your shovel idea was actually genius. 🙂
Have you tried the MorningStar Farms Chipotle Black Bean Burgers? We get them at Sam’s Club and they are SO good. And I’m a real burger person but I’ll actually choose the BB burger over frozen beef patties every time. 🙂
Jennifer says
1. Recent junk food craving? Cheese fries, haven’t had any though.
2. How do you think you’d do if you had to have long, pointy nails for a week? I would be blind. Once my nails get past a certain point, I have a lot of trouble putting my contacts in.
3. Has anything funny happened to you lately? Dumb yes, like dropping my phone and shattering one corner but funny, no.
4. How much spice and/or heat do you like in your food? the more spice the more better.
5. What was your last major makeup fail? Missing a big section of fur on my lower leg while shaving.
