So…what is the Monday Poll?
Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).
1. What’s more annoying, chin hair or upper lip hair?
Upper lip hair, for sure! I feel like I wax and it’s all good for like, a hot second. Next thing I know Magnum P.I.’s mustache has suddenly set up shop!
2. Last scary thing you watched?
The first two episodes of the new “Black Mirror.”
3. Pick three types of fruit for a Fourth of July fruit salad!
Watermelon because YUM, blackberries for a color contrast and apples for crunch.
4. Your preferred length of shorts?
Not too long, not too short. Somewhere in between, which is usually when the hem hits about halfway down my thigh. Dang, I gotta say, I do miss the days when I could wear booty shorts without any thought! There was a time in my youth when my standard issue summer uniform was short shorts, a tank top and flip flops, and I miss being able to get away with that casual, beachy look.
5. Where is the best place to get a cup of coffee in your town?
Marin Coffee Roasters. Their coffee never gives me a stomach ache, and I can always get oat milk in my latte. I love Starbucks lattes for their consistency, but it’s truly hit or miss whether I’ll get outta there without some type of tummy issue, and I have the stomach of a goat.
6. Has anything unexpected happened this summer so far?
Well, my seasonal allergies have been absolutely bananas! It’s been an unusually long allergy season. The sneezing and sniffling usually ends in May!
7. What do you think of physical exfoliators?
I think they can be helpful, especially if you’re struggling with acne. Ideally it combines very gentle physical exfoliation with something chemical. If you’re looking for a good one, Amore Pacific Treatment Enzyme Peel Powder is a game changer!
8. Last new food you tried?
I tried a Split from Wicked Slush (see pic at the top). It’s a combination of a slush, which, is kinda like Shave Ice, and soft serve ice cream.
Hi there, my friend! How’s your Monday been so far? Are you taking it off for the long holiday weekend? I’m working today, but I’ll be taking Connor down to a pool in the afternoon to burn off some energy.
We’ve been practically living at the pool for the last few days, and this bottle of Banana Boat Light as Air Sunscreen has been our jam lately, mostly because it’s lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on skin. Try it if you haven’t already!
What are your plans for the Fourth of July holiday? Tonight we’re going to try to catch some fireworks in a nearby town, and then tomorrow we’ll be meeting up with our neighbors to hang out and grill. The pool will probably be involved as well. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
