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. Are smokey eyes dated? I feel like 10 years ago you could get away with wearing a full-on smokey eye in the middle of the day to go buy a loaf of bread and it was totally not a big deal, right? Because wearing ALL THE THINGS was very much the look of that era. Now? Eh, maybe not so much. That said, I still think that for certain events, a smokey eye still looks classic and chic, but it totally depnds on what you pair it with. 2. How early is too early? Anything before 5:30! 5:30 is no problem, though. 3. Do you enjoy driving? If I’m just scooting about town, then I don’t mind it. If it’s anything longer than two hours on the[Continue reading...]

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. Something on your nightstand? A big ol’ stack of books that are about to fall over, LOL! 2. Something funny your pet does? If Marnie likes you and walks past you, she’ll quickly lick your knee or your leg if you’re wearing shorts or a dress. We call it “drive-by lickies.” 3. Something you’d like to do today? Cook some late summer veggies that I’ve had since Tuesday. I wish all those lovely string beans, squash and zucchini would saute themselves in olive oil and a little salt, but alas, that’s not happening. 4. Something you’re trying to let go of? UGH, the clutter. I always think to myself, “I might need this someday,” but honestly, 99 percent of the time, I don’t even use whatever I[Continue reading...]

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. How good are you at keeping plants alive? I used to be OK at it, but these days not so much. I think I could still be if I wasn’t so busy with taking care of the other living things in my family (human, cat and dog, LOL). One day soon, though, Connor won’t need me as much, so maybe then I’ll get back into gardening. 2. A drugstore beauty staple you swear by? Aveeno body moisturizers. Sure, they’re not particularly exciting in terms of ingredients, but they keep my skin happily moisturized without any irritation, and the scents don’t aggravate my migraines. 3. What’s worse: getting a really itchy bug bite or having insomnia? Insomnia, hands down. 4. How often do you iron your clothes? Most[Continue reading...]

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 your favorite genre of novels? Lately I’ve been really enjoying cozy romances (yes, they’re a thing). 2. A flavor of ice cream that you NEVER order? Orange sherbert, ewwww! 3. Concealer: in a pot or in a tube with a wand? Tube with a wand, please. 4. One thing you’d like to do this week? Go to the gym on Tuesday. After three years of mostly ignoring exercise, I’m trying really hard to get back into the habit. 5. Breakfast for dinner or dinner for breakfast? Breakfast for dinner, please! Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, Karen P.S. Here are the questions to copy/paste with your answers in a comment. Talk to ya soon. 1. What’s your favorite genre of novels? 2. A flavor of ice cream[Continue reading...]

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. Is lipstick an everyday thing for you? Yes! I usually start the day off wearing lipstick. As the day goes on, though, I move into gloss because it’s easier for me to apply for touch ups. Just swipe and go! 2. Bright colors or earth tones? Lil’ bit of both. 🙂 3. What’s the most-used tool in your makeup routine? My fingers! I use them to blend and apply minimal base and blush, mostly, and sometimes to swipe and blend liquid or cream eyeshadow. 4. A makeup trick that you’ve been loving lately? Layering brown eyeshadow on top of black eyeliner. I love how it softens the black liner, so you still get a good amount of impact, but it isn’t as harsh. 5. How closely do[Continue reading...]

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. How often do you do meal prep for the week? Very rarely. I do a super loose version or “meal prep” (air quotes) by cutting fruit and veggies on Sunday, and that’s about it. I tried making meals on Sundays a few times but then got sick of eating the same thing mid-week, so meal prep has never stuck. 2. Do you work out when you’re on vacation? I try to! I bring my tennis shoes and a couple sets of clothes to exercise in, so that at the very least, I can go for a walk. 3. Is bronzer a daily thing for you? Once upon a time, this was a hard yes. Love me some bronzer! I don’t wear it much these days, though, because[Continue reading...]
