So…what is the Monday Poll?
Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).
1. Pick a type of eyeliner to wear today — sharp and crisp or smokey and smudged?
I like both, but I’ll go with smokey and smudged on the upper lash line today. It’s easier for me to do and I can layer some cream shadow on top!
2. How often do you do meal prep at the start of the week?
Rarely! In theory I like it, but I tried it once or twice and found it isn’t my style. I like having the freedom to make whatever I’m craving on a given day. Plus, I get tired of eating the same thing over and over again.
3. Have you ever been picked for jury duty?
I did jury duty once for a trial when I was in my 30s . I don’t remember much other than waiting around for long periods of time for things to start. I think we were paid like $8 a day for our service at the end of it? There was a lot of sitting and I’d get very antsy.
4. What’s your secret to velvety soft skin?
Hmm, for me two things help a lot. The first is choosing a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip my skin. Oil-based and creamy cleansers are my BFFs! The second is applying whatever hydrator I’m using on damp skin shortly after I step out of the shower.
5. What makeup brands were popular when you were in high school?
I remember Clinique was *the* brand all the girls wanted to wear. I also remember Revlon, Covergirl, Maybelline, Max Factor and Wet ‘n’ Wild being a big deal, too. Oh, and I can’t forget Corn Silk and Coty for face powder!
Well hello there and happy, happy Monday. How’s your day going? I feel a little disorganized right now, but you know, once I make a short list, everything’s gonna be OK.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you’re feeling rested and ready for what’s ahead. I have a feeling that good things are waiting around the corner for us all!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
