So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great question! Contrary to what its name suggests, it’s not an actual poll with clickable buttons. It’s merely a collection of fairly random questions that I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like eternity (since 2007).
1. Who would you choose to go dancing with: your partner, your best friend, or your child (if you have one)?
Honestly, I’d be excited to go with Connor, LOL!
2. A weekend at the spa or a weekend at a music festival?
Spa weekend, for sure!
3. Have you indulged in any eggnog this holiday season?
Nope, not at all! I don’t particularly crave it, but I might have a little if it’s on offer.
4. Who would you prefer to have lunch with: your favorite musician, actor, author, or teacher?
Honestly, if she were still with us, having lunch with my favorite elementary school teacher would be wonderful. The last time I saw her, I was 18.
5. Do you squeeze the pimple or leave it be?
I’m not sure; it depends on how ready it is! If it looks like it’s going to pop easily, I won’t lie, I’d go for it. LOL! Otherwise, I’d leave it be.
Your local beauty enthusiast,
