Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 671

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. Last time you waxed?

I can’t even remember… It must’ve been at least six months ago. I was using the bad-@ss Bliss blue wax, but I finally ran out and have yet to replace it… It hasn’t exactly been the world’s highest priority though. Tweezers have been my best friend these days!

2. What’s your Fitzpatrick skin type?

I’m a Skin Type IV!

3. Do you limit your screen time?

Yeah, I have to. If I don’t, nobody else will, LOL! If I let myself go unchecked, I end up doomscrolling late at night, and then I can’t turn my brain off.

4. How often do you stretch?

I try to stretch every day, and throughout the day with little one-minute stretches here and there. (Hold up, give me a second to hit my hammies! Ah, much better.) And then in the evening before I go to bed, I stretch on my yoga mat in front of the TV for about 10 minutes, and that really helps me sleep better.

5. Silence is (fill in the blank).

Beautiful, underrated and sometimes incredibly necessary.

6. A beauty brand (or brands) you’d like to try?

Ooh, there are so many! Right now I’ve got my eye on some things by Ere Perez and Typology. I’d also love to try a tinted mineral sunscreen from Colorscience.

7. Midi or maxi?

Midi has been stressing me out, man… I can’t seem to figure it out! So please, fashion gods, give me a maxi!

8. Have you ever had a turtle for a pet?

I have not, but I knew someone in the ’90s who had pet turtles, and caring for those turtles was like a second job for them. I just remember the turtles requiring a lot of care and habitat maintenance.

9. Have you ever broken a window?

I have not, knock on wood!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.P.S. Hello there, my friend! It’s a new week and a fresh start. A little reminder that you can handle whatever comes your way today, you hear me? You’re capable, strong and smart. Whatever it is you need to conquer, big or small, YOU CAN DO IT. 🤗
