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. What’s the last picture you have on your camera roll?
A croissant and latte from yesterday’s breakfast at Creekside bakery in Novato. (Please see above.) The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, and the latte was rich and creamy. If you’re ever in town, definitely stop by for a bite.
2. Pick a mode of travel — airplane, train or car?
I’d pick a car first, but only if the drive was less than 10 hours and did not involve winding roads. Otherwise, I’d go with the airplane. I’ll give the train a hard pass as I’ve only traveled by train a handful of times in Europe. I remember it being stressful because of the language barrier; I also remember being on guard and not being able to relax at all.
3. Would you rather read a book or listen to an audiobook?
I’d rather read a book. It has to be a physical book where I can turn the pages, though. (I don’t do Kindles.)
4. What helps you relax after a long day?
A hot shower, comfy pajamas and a simple, healthy meal. If I can have those three things, I feel cared for.
5. Loose powder: love it or leave it?
Love it, but it’s gotta be Chanel.
6. Three beauty-related things you never get tired of?
Hair care products, fragrances (I love reading about them!) and sunscreen.
7. A podcast you like?
“Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing” is my favorite at the moment.
8. How many hours of sleep do you need?
Eight hours is my sweet spot. Note to self: go to bed early tonight!
9. Something nice that happened to you recently?
Yesterday, Connor and I took a walk in our neighborhood. During our stroll, someone rode by on a bike with a basket on the handlebars, and inside the basket was the cutest little dog having the time of its life! It was such a fleeting moment, yet it brought both of us so much joy.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
