Just For Fun

You might be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”

Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past seven years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.

1. What makeup colors are you wearing today?
   Today I’m wearing the new Tarte Sultry Star Power palette from the Double Duty Beauty collection.

   Yay! One small step toward business as usual!

   (Small victories…)

   It’s a cool-toned palette, so I’m wearing cool-toned matte and shimmery taupes on my eyes with smudgy black liner, matte plum blush on my cheeks and a neutral peachy lip.

   It’s by no means a perfect look because I banged it out in 15 minutes, but I’m at the point now where I don’t really care if my liner is a little wonky, ya know?

   As long as it stays up there and isn’t completely tragic, I’m happy… LOL!

2. Whom do you feel closest to?
   Um…my cat Tabs? And El Hub, of course, and Connor Claire. 🙂
3. Where do you see yourself this time next year?
   Hopefully someplace where I’m less tired!

   I dunno, though…

   Anywho, wherever I am, and whatever I’m doing, I hope I feel creatively satisfied. Like, I’d love to explore my other creative interests more, like with lettering and calligraphy, music (learning to play the cello and the accordion have been on my bucket list forever), painting and interior design.

4. What do you always avoid?
   Confrontation.

   I’m not very good at it, so I avoid it whenever I can. Oddly enough, however, the universe regularly places confrontational people in my path, and so I’ve had to learn how to handle it a bit better.

   Er…and I also avoid cleaning the bathroom, ’cause it’s my least favorite household chore.

5. What was the last fruit you ate?
   Grapefruit! I had a big ol’ one for breakfast.

   Here’s the thing about grapefruit, though: I have to have it cold (like right outta the fridge); otherwise, I can’t eat it.

   Room temperature grapefruit is a no-go for me.

Your turn. 🙂 Just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em!

(It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.

1. What’s one beauty product you like to always have a backup of?
   Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo, otherwise known as “the best dry shampoo on the planet, and perhaps even the universe.”

   I always get one or more of them when I can snag them on sale, like during the Sephora VIB sales, because I never want to be without at least one backup bottle.

2. When was the last time you spoke to someone in your family?
   Hmm… Let’s see… I think it was my brother.

   Yeah, it was my brother. He called the other night while I was eating dinner/shoveling food into my face, and we talked for about 10 minutes about baby poo and DJ’s…

   And then before that it was my mom, who called earlier in the day, and I think we may have also talked about baby poo… It’s been a hot topic round here.

3. What was the last bad movie you watched?
   Can I just say here that there are a lot of bad movies on Netflix?

   I know this because I spend most of my days lately feeding Connor Claire while watching Netflix (it’s our version of “Netflix and Chill,” HA!), and I’ve started and stopped so many bad movies that I think I pulled a muscle in my remote control hand.

   I don’t know where I’m going with this…

   I think the movie was actually something we rented on iTunes called Results, with Guy Pearce.

   I mean, on the scale of bad, it wasn’t absolutely terrible, but it was just…I dunno…boring. It didn’t really seem to go anywhere.

4. What’s a phrase you say a lot?
   “Well, hello, little person!” which I say to Connor Claire whenever she gets up for a feeding or a diaper change.

   And I also say “Get that butt outta my face!” to Tabs quite a lot.

   LOL!

5. Who makes the best chocolate?
   For me, it’s See’s Candies, fo’ sho’!

   Mmm… Milk chocolate buttercream…

How’s it going it this morning? What did you do for Easter?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

Tabs insisted on doing a quick photo shoot with the dress he bought Connor for Easter. 🙂

I hope you have a wonderful day, my friend. We’re just gonna be spending it here at home. My mom brought us some corned beef and cabbage, so we’ll be having that and some Easter chocolates. Connor Claire, of course, will be having fresh milk du jour from Mom.
