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. London, Paris, Tokyo or New York?
Tokyo because I’ve never been and would love to go. I’d eat all the sushi and stock up on sunscreen and brushes. Ideally it would be during cherry blossom season, which apparently is right around meow!
2. Bright orange lids or neon pink lips?
Both are fun (and I’d even consider doing them together because why not), but today I’ll take the neon pink lips.
3. Your signature scent at the moment?
I mean if we’re being totally honest it’s Vicks VapoRub! It’s been rough around these parts — just one cold after another since January. Everyone in our fam is getting their immune system worked out, for sure.
4. What do you like most about your job?
I love that I’m able to channel my creativity. I’ve had many non-creative jobs before, and they don’t light me up the way that writing does. It’s also remote, so the flexibility is a HUGE plus.
5. What do you think you’d be doing if you weren’t doing what you’re doing?
Hmmm, it would still be something closely tied to beauty, probably in marketing. If pursuing art was an option for me at a younger age, maybe I’d be on a design team. I can see myself doing either.
6. Tights: yes or no?
I don’t mind them as long as they stay up!
7. What are you binge watching right now?
I started watching a Korean drama series on Netflix called “The Glory.” It’s bananas.
8. Who are some of your style icons?
For beauty, Pat McGrath, especially her runway makeup for Dolce & Gabbana. For fashion, lately I’ve been loving the street style of actress Tracee Ellis Ross.
9. Something funny that happened to you recently?
I don’t know why or how this keeps happening, but I’ve accidentally put clothes on backwards a few times in the morning and didn’t figure it out until the afternoon. HA HA HA!
10. Pointy flat shoes or platform tennies?
Platform tennies, please.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
