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. Taupe or blue eyeliner?
Blue. I could use some color in my life today.
2. Are you guilty of Instagram brows?
GIRL. So guilty. I rocked those bladed brows for a few years, OMG!
3. How much do you enjoy journaling?
I enjoy it a lot, but I haven’t been doing it nearly enough over the past few years. I’m trying to get back into the habit of doing it daily. Part of it is because when I allow myself to just babble about whatever I want on the page, it’s kinda like pressure release for my brain. I feel so much better afterwards. Clearer. Another part of it is that I’m not able to hold as much as I used to in my mind. Like, for years and years I could remember all the small details of what a typical day in my life was like when I was 16, 26, 36… Now that I’m in my 40s and feel so busy all the time, I have a harder time remembering the small stuff. I want to remember those things, though, ya know?
4. A 2000s makeup trend you’d rock again?
Glossy lips all the way! I would like to leave the frosty lid (from the lash line all the way up to the brow bone) behind, however.
5. Romantic comedies: yes or no?
Yes, please. Even though they’re predictable and cheesy, I still love them.
6. Something good that’s happened to you lately?
We spent a lot of family time together in Monterey last weekend, and my heart is so full.
7. Where shall we go today, Sephora or Ulta?
Let’s go to Ulta because Sephora NEVER seems to have what I want in stock lately.
8. Banana bread or zucchini bread?
Zucchini bread, but only if I don’t have to shred the zucchini. I’ll have mine with a hot cup of jasmine tea, please.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

P.P.S. Good morning, my friend. I’ve been thinking a lot about ways we can “fill up our cups” — simple things to help our lives feel more joyful and balanced. To fill up your cup a little today, I want to remind you that you’re a good person. I know you’re trying your best, so keep it up! You can do it.
Take care and have a great rest of your Monday!
