Monday Blues

I got this poll from a beauty blog I read occasionally. She does these polls every Monday and I found them fun to read. This week's poll seems especially quirky and made me want to answer - and it's a easy way to kinda keep up on my blog which I have been finding oddly hard to do!

1. Mood:

A little blue, but not really. I can't believe it's August already. Before I know it, it's going to be Christmas and a year would have flew by without my even knowing.

2. Chanel No. 5 — love it or leave it?

I remember it's a very synthetic fragrance. So, nope.

3. How often do you exfoliate?

For my face, at least once a week. For my body, usually when I find my skin feeling flaky, so not as often as I should.

4. Do you enjoy cleaning?

no. I wish I can hire a cleaner as the husband often suggest. But we live in such a tiny apartment that hiring a cleaner would be a joke.

5. One of your weird quirks?

hm. I use a face mask on my feet? I like to wear sandals and frequently forget to use moisturizer on them so my feet get really dry. I have this huge tube of marine mud mask that I can't imagine ever finishing so every now and then when I feel the feet getting too dry and ugly, I'll slather the mask over them and leave them on for 20 mins (while sitting on the toilet seat with a book). It seems to work as the feet aren't as icky as they used to be.

6. One of your oldest pieces of jewelry?

a moonstone pendent. I've had it since I was fifteen and wore it everyday until I was eighteen (under my uniform on a gold chain masquerading as a religious piece, it's a wonder I didn't get caught by the discipline mistress!) The chain and hook broke and was replaced twice I think. I still wear it occasionally and it has great sentimental value.

7. Are you a card shark?

I enjoy the occasional game of dai dee, but no, not really. I find gambling interesting only if you do it with friends and gossip.

8. Would you ever get a tattoo of your pet?

I don't have a pet but entertain the thought of a tattoo. except I have no threshold for pain.

9. Eyes/lips/cheeks?

I'm not wearing foundation/blush today, but I'm trying out Shiseido hydroshadow in violet. Lips is tokidoki gelato, grape color.

10. Weekly goals:

This is shaping up to be a busy week. Goals would be to finish all the food in the fridge and also do as much translation as possible before our anniversary getaway to Catalina Island next Mon!
