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. Mineral or chemical sunscreen today?
Chemical filters today; the mineral ones have not been playing well with my skin lately. (Too drying.)
2. Which ’80s trend would you revisit right meow: big hair, oversized shoulder pads or bright, contoured blush?
Big hair for sure, but I’d like to update it in some way to make it modern. I’d use less crunchy styling products (oh gosh, remember how crispy everyone’s hair was?) and skip the spiral perm.
3. Something nice that happened last weekend?
We went on a short overnight family trip to Sacramento to cheer Connor on at a dance competition. I really enjoyed it. Family time at this age (she just turned 7) is the best!
4. Last piece of makeup that impressed you?
Caviar Shadow Stick in Strapless by Laura Mercier! It’s a gorgeous shimmery golden taupe I bought on a whim last week.
5. Are you ready for summer?
Yes and no. We had a long, wet winter, and I’m tired of being cold, so I’m looking forward to being warm again. At the same time, though, I’m not ready for it to be blistering hot every time I step outside my door, LOL! I’m definitely looking forward to being outside and going camping. I can’t wait to spend time with the Coywolf, too.
6. Rate your current makeup skill from 1 to 10 (with 10 being off-the-charts incredible).
Hmm, overall? I guess about a six or a seven if we’re talking strictly everyday wearable makeup, LOL! I’m deeply out of practice when it comes to makeup for photography and creative looks, though.
7. Pick one: an amazing wardrobe of clothes that fit great or a hair stylist who knows your hair well and cuts it perfectly?
While a holy grail stylist would certainly come in handy, I’m so sick of wearing the same five shirts over and over again. I’d take the clothes on the condition that I wouldn’t have to spend the time shopping for them.
8. What shall we do on a Friday night — karaoke or dancing?
Girl, let’s do both!
9. Where is the best place in your town for lunch with a friend?
There’s two places that I like – Blue Barn for their salads and fries, and Creekside Bakery for their avocado toast, which is purr-fection!
10. What’s on your lips today?
Good old NARS Dolce Vita, but in the crayon formula. I prefer the lip crayon over the lipstick these days!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

P.P.S. Happy Monday, my friend. My heart is so full today from spending the weekend with Connor and El Hub, and so I want to pass that happiness on to you. I hope your Monday is filled with plenty of love and joy! Sending you good vibes today and for the rest of the week.
