So…what’s the Monday Poll all about?
Great question! It’s not, despite what the name suggests, an actual poll with clickable options. It’s simply a collection of relatively random questions I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like forever (since 2007).
1. What do you need to prioritize: rest, organization, or social connection?
All of the above! At this moment, what I really need to focus on is getting organized. Since October, I’ve felt like I’m being guided by external circumstances, and I’d like to change that. I want to feel in control of my life trajectory, you know?
2. Who would you prefer to spend time with: Santa Claus, Snoop Dogg, aliens (assuming they’re friendly) or Cupid?
Santa Claus, naturally! He’s my buddy. We create magic together.
3. Which activity would you choose: exploring a haunted house, piloting a plane, performing in front of an audience, or attempting rock climbing on real rocks?
Performing in front of an audience because it’s the least frightening option, haha!
4. Which makeup product would you like to replenish: foundation, mascara, eyeliner, or concealer?
I would absolutely LOVE to stock up my makeup collection for the upcoming year, so all items would be great, please. (By the way, I think I’ve just found my next beauty project.) If I must choose just one, I could really use new foundation.
5. Which skincare item would you like to replenish: sunscreen, serum, or moisturizer?
Serum! A bottle of Skinceuticals CE Ferulic would be fantastic.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty enthusiast,
Karen
