Monday’s Makeup and Beauty Blog Poll, Vol. 777

So… what is Monday’s poll?

Excellent question! It is not, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like the little buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions that I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. Wild or straight hair today?

Smooth please. It’s windy in my neighborhood today, and inclement weather plus wild hair equals chaos.

2. Which do you prefer: more skincare steps or fewer?

My skin seems to do better the less fuss it takes, so fewer steps—like 3 or 4, max.

3. Something nice happened to you recently?

I spent all day yesterday reading! It was glorious.

4. The last time you were on crutches?

Back in the eighth grade – almost a million years ago. very funny! I sprained my ankle while sprinting at the track and got stuck for a month.

5. What tea do you like?

Darjeeling, with cream and a little sugar.

6. Where do you like to go when you need a reset?

the beach. There’s just something about the steady sound of waves crashing against the shore and the feeling of sand between my toes that just feels right.

7. What do you prefer: a personal chef or a housecleaning team?

I’m going with a personal chef because I find cooking boring. (Bread is another story.) I’ve also hired house cleaners a few times, and although they’ve been very helpful, I’m choosy about how things get done. I prefer to do it myself.

8. Board games or video games?

board games.

9. Do you have a dermatologist?

No, but I would love one!

10. Something you would like to do but keep putting off?

Um, searching for a dermatologist?

Friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

PPS Happy Monday, sweet friend. I hope your Monday has been smooth so far.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about taking baby steps. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by big projects, and sometimes when I see all the parts and steps that need to be done, I kinda short circuit and end up doing nothing.

I have to constantly remind myself that even a small step is still a step.

It’s a good reminder, isn’t it? I tell myself this when I feel like there are just too many things to go around.

Take care of yourself today and have the best week ahead!
