So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great question! Contrary to what its name suggests, it isn’t an actual poll with clickable options. It’s merely a collection of somewhat random questions that I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like forever (since 2007).
1. What holiday beauty items have you purchased?
I got a beautiful Jo Malone fragrance duo, a few Laneige skincare gift sets, my all-time favorite body scrub, and a tea tree oil foot mist, among other goodies!
2. Were any of those beauty items for yourself?
LOL, surprisingly no! I did treat myself to an azelaic acid serum when I was at Ulta, though.
3. What’s on the breakfast menu today?
Trader Joe’s Protein Pancakes. Have you given them a try? They’re absolutely delicious!
4. Have you done any baking for the holidays?
Not yet, but next weekend I plan to bake either cookies or brownies. At least, that’s my intention. If I’m feeling completely overwhelmed, I might give myself a pass on that annual tradition this time.
5. What’s your go-to holiday tune?
It’s a tie between Mariah’s “All I Want for Christmas” (I know, it’s so cliché) and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” from “Meet Me in St. Louis.”
