So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great inquiry! It’s not, despite its title, a true poll with clickable options. Rather, it’s simply a collection of somewhat random questions I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like ages (since 2007).
1. What would you prefer in your makeup stash: a nail polish that never chips, a foundation that perfectly matches your complexion, a long-lasting mascara that’s easy to remove, or a lipstick that doesn’t make your lips dry?
Nail polish that never chips! I’d choose it instantly.
2. How skilled are you at styling other people’s hair?
Not very. In fact, quite the opposite. I realized I desperately need practice when I attempted a french braid on Connor for a dance event, and it ended up looking so crooked it was comical.
3. What do you typically do when seated next to a stranger on a flight: strike up a conversation or pop in your headphones and act as if they’re invisible?
I engage in a bit of polite conversation, primarily because I know I’ll need to get up several times to use the restroom, and it feels less awkward if I don’t have to climb over them.
4. What beverage do you usually accompany your meal with?
I generally have sparkling water or plain water. Occasionally, I might enjoy iced tea with lunch or a very diluted juice (like, half of it is water).
5. Choose one: walking or biking?
Walking! It’s less likely I’ll collide with someone or something. Haha!
