Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 697

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 five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. ?

1. Winged line with (pick two): pencil, gel, liquid or eyeshadow?

I love all the options, so it’s hard to pick just two. If I had to, though, then pencil to first sketch out the shape and then eyeshadow to soften the edges. I’ve been into a softer wing lately!

2. A hair length that works for you?

Long hair is the easiest for me to manage because I don’t have to do much to it. A little past my shoulders is my sweet spot.

3. Which one would you rather carry with you in your purse: a travel-size hand cream or a travel-size perfume?

I’d go with the hand cream to go with my travel-size bottle of hand sanitizer.

4. If you were a pie, what type of pie would you be?

Strawberry rhubarb — a little sweet, a little tart! Either that or pecan pie, because pecan pie is bomb dot com.

5. Tweed jacket or tweed skirt?

I’m short waisted and skirts never fit me quite right, so I’d pick the tweed jacket in a neutral color.

6. What was the last concert you went to?

Honestly, I have no idea! I had tickets to Lizzo in the fall of 2019 but didn’t go because of the fires in the Bay Area. The last event that I went to where a group was a stage singing was Connor’s preschool graduation last June. Does that count?

7. Something you have on your to-do list for today?

Sneak in a load of laundry. I’ve found that if I do one or two loads every day, it’s easier than doing everything in one fell swoop on the weekend.

8. Dresses worn with tennis shoes: yes or no?

Heck yeah, girlfriend, but only if the tennis shoes are clean and neat-looking. If they’re too lived-in, then I feel sloppy.

9. File your nails with a nail file or clip them with nail clippers?

Nail clippers, 100%. So much faster! I no longer have any patience for filing my claws down.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.P.S. Hey there, friend! How’s it going? I think I need an extra cup of coffee this morning, how about you? A gentle reminder for you — you’re doing just fine! Keep putting one foot in front of the other, and hold your chin up high. 🤗 Have a great rest of your day and an amazing week!
