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. Lip tint or lip balm?
Lip balm, ideally something with SPF and a hint of color. I’ve got my eye on these by Colorscience because you can wear them on lips *and* cheeks, and they have SPF50.
2. Matchy-matchy: yes or no?
Yes, yes, yes!
3. Your thoughts on biker shorts?
I used to wear them back in the ’90s and liked them then. I probably wouldn’t wear them now though, because…why wear biker shorts when you can just as easily wear leggings? At least with leggings I get a little warmth and sun protection! LOL.
4. Snakes: cool or scary?
Um…scary cool? This is unlikely a shocker, but I’m not a big fan of snakes. We have a lot of them on the trails here in Marin County, so you have to be careful, and I’ve seen a few in real life. I get freaked out every single time. Once, I saw a MASSIVE snake. It was very long and as thick as my arm! I watched it slowly creep into the ground, and I was so stunned that I couldn’t move or talk.
That said, I do find that snake designs, especially in jewelry, can look very cool, although I don’t like snakeskin ANYTHING.
5. Something you wish you learned sooner?
That emotional neglect is a thing, but so is re-parenting yourself.
6. What’s your current go-to eyeliner style?
A SUPER thin, crisp liquid line on the upper lash line, with the smallest kitten flick at the end. Oh, and in black. It’s classic and has been workin’ for me, especially since I haven’t been wearing a lot of eyeshadow. I feel like liquid liner gives a high payoff in relation to the effort.
7. Something in your beauty arsenal that helps you get that glow?
Hmm…does liquid exfoliator count? I’ve been using the Jan Marini Skin Care Management System I got for Mother’s Day (it has a liquid exfoliator with glycolic, salicylic and azelaic acids!) a few days a week, and I swear my skin glows!
8. Do you own a CD player?
I don’t have one in my house anymore, but I do in my car. I don’t spend a lot of time driving, though, so I kinda want one in the house again so I can play my old CDs!
9. Last thing you drank?
A big glass of water with Tangerine Emergen-C.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.P.S. Happy Monday, sweet friend! 😊 I hope your morning so far has been filled with good things and perhaps even a little bit of unicorn magic (I know I could use some). 🦄 I have Connor with me this week because it’s the in-between time right after school ends and before camp begins, so maybe she’ll even grace me with her makeover skills.
