So…what actually is the Monday Poll?
Great inquiry! It’s not, despite its title, a genuine poll with clickable buttons. It’s merely a collection of somewhat random questions that I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for an incredibly long time (since 2007).
1. What brought a smile to your face today?
It’s still early in the day (I just got up half an hour ago), but at this moment petting Marnie and Rosie, along with rereading the homemade Mother’s Day card Connor crafted, are two things that brightened my day.
2. What’s the first thing you do upon entering your home?
Hmm, I would like to say that I generally remove my shoes immediately because, let’s be real, I crave foot freedom (shoes can be so restrictive), but I believe what I actually do is secure the door behind me.
3. What’s your top cereal choice?
Does oatmeal count? If not, then it’s definitely Kellogg’s Special K with the dried red strawberries. I don’t typically eat it for breakfast though; it’s more like a snack.
4. What would you never part with?
My furry companions. I understand that sometimes tough choices must be made to rehome pets, but it’s just something I can’t see myself doing.
5. What’s your favorite activity during summer?
Even though it becomes a bit more challenging as I get older, I genuinely enjoy camping in the summer, particularly along the Russian River.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty lover,
Karen

A signature lip color can shape your overall appearance and elevate your confidence. Whether you prefer bold reds, delicate nudes, or fun pinks, your favorite hue reflects your style.

### 3. What’s one beauty product you’ve recently started using again?
Often, the best products are already hiding in our collections. This question invites you to revisit your makeup stash and rediscover a lost treasure. Perhaps it’s a neglected highlighter, an old eyeshadow palette, or a skincare item that’s recently become effective again.

### 4. How do you modify your skincare routine with the changing seasons?
As temperatures shift, so should your skincare approach. This week, we’re delving into how you adjust your regimen for the summer sun or winter chill. Do you incorporate lighter moisturizers, add SPF, or increase your exfoliation frequency?
**Pro tip:** During warmer months, opt for gel-based moisturizers and non-comedogenic sunscreens to keep your skin hydrated and shielded without feeling heavy.
