So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great question! Contrary to what its title may imply, it’s not a real poll, as in one with clickable buttons. It’s merely a collection of somewhat random inquiries I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like a trillion years (since 2007).
1. Have you completed your holiday gift shopping?
Have I even begun my holiday shopping yet? LOL! I’m really lagging this year.
2. What time is considered too early to don your pajamas in the evenings?
I believe that any time before 4pm is a bit too soon since it’s still technically light outside. Any time after 4 is fine, though, as the sun sets around 4:50-ish around here these days.
3. What is something you’d like as a stocking stuffer?
I could use a few new beauty tools, such as nail clippers, tweezers, and similar items. It feels like it’s time for a refresh.
4. Is there something creative that you enjoy?
Even though I haven’t been frequenting MBB as much lately, I still greatly appreciate the creative aspect of writing.
5. Do you lean towards colorful holiday lights or white holiday lights?
We’ve been using white lights on our tree for the past few years since that’s what I have that function, but I also enjoy colorful lights.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty enthusiast,
Karen
