So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great inquiry! It’s not, despite its title, an actual poll with clickable buttons. Instead, it’s just a collection of somewhat random questions I’ve been posting on this blog each Monday morning for what feels like ages (since 2007).
1. Something urgent you need to address for beauty upkeep soon?
Oh dear, my upper lip is calling for a wax. LOL! If I delay it any longer, I might resemble a villain with a curled mustache.
2. Something lovely that’s beauty-related that you’ve recently done for yourself?
A month ago, a friend and I visited the Cavallo Point spa in Sausalito. I’m eagerly looking forward to returning!
3. What’s a word that resonates with you?
Truly, I have a plethora. Just to name a few: jaunt, effervescent, soliloquy.
4. What’s a quirky little behavior that your pet exhibits?
When Rosie is asleep, she tends to snore quite loudly. (It sometimes wakes me up.) Marnie has a habit of bringing her favorite tennis ball outside; unlike fetch, she prefers to just carry it around and run.
5. What’s the ultimate Thanksgiving side dish?
Does pecan pie count? That’s my main focus, haha! If not, then I’ll opt for mashed potatoes.
