So…what is the Monday Poll?
Great question! Despite its title, it’s not a traditional poll complete with clickable buttons. It’s merely a collection of somewhat random queries that I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like an eternity (since 2007).
1. Will you be dressing up for Halloween this year?
All indicators suggest no at this time (haven’t really considered it), but occasionally I manage to pull something together at the last minute, so who knows? I might revert to my usual, which is a makeup artist, if I’m feeling adventurous!
2. A makeup look you constantly revisit?
Definitely red matte lips and skinny black cat eyeliner. It never goes out of style!
3. When in your life did you dedicate a lot of time to your hair?
The late ‘90s and early 2000s. Stick straight hair was the trend, so I was battling my natural texture daily. Looking back, I can’t believe I had the patience to style my hair that much!
4. Pumpkin carving: tons of fun or overly messy?
How about a mix of both? Mostly a lot of fun, though. I don’t mind the mess!
5. Best/worst Halloween candy?
Best has to be Albanese Gummy Bears (absolutely delicious). Worst? Swedish Fish.
