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 five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start.
1. Bath or shower?
I take showers our of sheer necessity because they’re so much quicker than long, luxurious (heavenly) baths, but if I were a lady of leisure, and perhaps also had a gloriously deep old-fashioned clawfoot tub, I’d be taking baths all day, every day, for sure.
With lots of bubbles… Can never have too many bubbles. And music!
2. A skin care step you won’t skip?
Removing my makeup every night before bed. I never skip it, even when I was shaking my groove thang and going out a lot back in the day and came home at an obnoxious hour (by which time I’m usually in my fourth or fifth REM cycle now), I would always take off my makeup.
I used to keep makeup remover wipes on my nightstand next to my bed so I could just collapse onto my comforter, start wiping my makeup away while I was horizontal, and then drift off to sleep right then and there…
3. What’s the last product you finished?
Body cream. I go through A LOT of that stuff. This time it was H2O Plus Coconut Lemon Verbena (smells tropical but not “sun-screeny”).
4. What’s the last dance you learned?
Um…that one that all the kids are doing, or may have been doing a few years ago? I think it’s called the floss?
It’s the one where you stand with your feet shoulder length apart and rock your arms back and forth (or something).
Previous to that, I also learned a six-step because I was learning how to break dance, but this was a while ago…
5. Your first beauty product obsession?
It was back in high school: Revlon Toast of New York lipstick!
All the girls wore it. (In case you’re wondering, yes, it’s still around.)
The thing I love most about cats
That you can never quite tell whether they’re about to swat you in the face, or give you a head boop.
They’ve got that whole mystery thing down pat! Even after all these years of assisting Tabs, I still can’t predict when he’s going to go full-on Naomi Campbell and throw a phone at me, or if he’s going to nuzzle me with purrs and lovies.
It’s one of his many talents…
He ? and I want to remind you to make the most of this beautiful Monday. And in case you haven’t heard it yet today, you are ? cherished, and you are loved. ❤️
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addicts,
Karen and Tabs
