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. Have you ever dyed your hair red?
Not my entire head of hair, no, but I did go through a phase when I had chunky, bright red highlights. They were an obnoxious shade of red, too, like the color of a stop sign. It was in the late ’90s, and I rocked it with a short bob that had the ends flipped out… I thought I was the sh*t, but now I cringe a little on the inside when I think about it, LOL!
2. Liquid or cream concealer?
Liquid concealer, all day, every day. It’s just easier to blend and control for me, and if I need to sheer it out, all I have to do is add a drop of Fresh Seaberry Oil.
3. How well would you do if you only had one minute to apply your foundation?
Girl, I could totally do it, even upside down with my eyes closed!
I can’t believe there was a time when it took me more than 20 minutes to work on my base, because nowadays even 10 minutes is a luxury. Shoot, give me 5 minutes, and I’ll make miracles happen!
4. What did you have for breakfast?
A Trader Joe’s Non-Fat Vanilla Yogurt with a handful of blackberries and a HUGE mug of coffee.
5. Would you rather get your hair permed or your brows microbladed? (BTW, in this scenario, “neither” is not a valid option.)
Um…both options sound terrible to me. I haven’t had a perm since elementary school (Translation: It was a hella long time ago, and I looked like a poodle.), and I’m not fond of anything permanent on my face.
That said, I’d go with the microblading, but I would meticulously search for someone who specialized in natural-looking microblading, and I’d only do a few hairs at a time over the course of many, many months.
Audiobooks?
Hiya! Happy Monday, fellow adventurer!
Dude…thank goodness for coffee, because, well, it’s coffee, and it tastes SO good. Also, because I stayed up late “reading” last night, with “reading” in air quotes because I’ve been listening to an Audible audiobook of Where’d You Go, Bernadette.
MAN! It’s taking FOR-EV-ER to finish it, but I do like having someone else do the reading sometimes. I mean, I read pretty fast, so I probably could’ve finished this one twice already if I’d had it in my hands, but audiobooks force me to slooooow down, which is good in that I can get lost in a book for much longer. On the one hand, that’s great because I get to savor the story longer, but on the other hand, I get antsy, and I’ve been tempted more than once to Google the ending.
I still haven’t (yet), so props to me and my self restraint, woo-hoo! ?
OK, I’m off to pour myself another cup of Royal Kona Vanilla Macadamia Nut. Holla if you’d like one.
Have a great rest of your day!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
