So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great inquiry! Despite what the title suggests, it’s not a genuine poll with clickable options. Instead, it’s simply a collection of more or less random questions that I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like an eternity (since 2007).
1. Butter on your toast – yes or no?
Absolutely! And if it happens to be Kerrygold Salted Butter, then even better.
2. Which two seasons do you adore the most?
Autumn and spring.
3. Choose your red lipstick for the day – what’s its name?
Rouge Dior 999.
4. Is there a Thanksgiving dish you dislike?
Soggy gray green bean casserole.
5. What color brings you joy?
Yellow (which explains the butter picture at the top, haha).
Your neighborhood beauty enthusiast,
