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. A food that you’ve been craving lately?

Toasted cinnamon raisin bagels and cream cheese! YUM. I buy the kind by Dave’s Killer Bread to get a little extra protein.

2. Where’s your calm and happy place?

Physically, my bed right before I fall asleep every night. Mentally, you can find me on Hideaways beach on Kauai.

3. Have you ever driven a boat?

Girl, no. I’m the last person you want driving anything motorized on a body of water, LOL! I’m too nervous behind the wheel.

4. How do you handle your regular routine being disrupted?

Honestly, not too well these days. After I got pregnant and had Connor I became a strict creature of habit; it’s the only way I’ve been able to get through all the stuff I need to get through on a daily basis. When even the smallest thing gets thrown into the mix, it’s a lot harder for me to handle the change than it was when I was younger.

5. Smudgy eyeliner: your thoughts?

It has its time and place. I do love how it’s more forgiving compared to a crisp line.

6. Are ponchos a good idea?

Yeah, sure, why not? I love a flowing poncho on occasion. Makes me feel like I’m wrapped up in a snuggly blanket!

7. What’s harder: applying concealer or applying blush?

Oh gosh, by far applying concealer. But blush can be hard, too – the blending part is no joke. I can’t just rush through it unless I want to end up with two circles on my cheeks.

8. What sunscreen are you wearing today?

Good ol’ Avene Solaire UV. A true hero!

9. Peptides: love ’em or leave ’em?

Meh. I’m undecided at the moment. I’ve yet to find a peptide-related product that rocks my world. (Side note: if you know of one, feel free to share it with the rest of us!)

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.P.S. Good morning, friend. Happy Monday! I just wrote myself a reminder to take deep breaths throughout the day. Feel free to do the same for yourself! It really does help. 🤗
