- You might be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Well, it isn’t much of a poll. It’s more just a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past four years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
Pretty good for a Monday, but I’m a little woozy from allergy meds. Yup, spring is in the air. Other than that, things are a-okay. The sun is shining, and it feels like it’s going to be a great day. - What type of coverage do you like in foundation?
For pics and events, I like full coverage, but for day-to-day wear, I like light-to-medium coverage. - Do you now, or did you ever, own a charm bracelet?
Oh, yeah. I have a couple of cheesy costume ones from when I was a teen around here somewhere (I think they’re in my pink and green Caboodle, ha!). - Your favorite childhood games?
Connect Four! I also liked tether-ball, Chinese jump rope and high jump. - Have you ever thrown your pet a birthday party?
No, but that’s a great idea! 🙂 The only problem is, Tabs was a stray, and I don’t know the date of his actual birthday. And I’m a little reluctant to take my crazy cat lady-ness to that level. Maybe in a few years, though… - Last person to whom you said, “I love you.”
El Hub, right before he left for work. - A song that reminds you of college?
Are You That Somebody by Aaliyah. I listened to it all through my senior year whenever I’d get ready to go out. - Can you keep a secret?
I can, but I wouldn’t want to if it was a secret that could hurt someone else. In those cases, I’d rather just not know. - What are you wearing on your lips right now?
NARS Velvet Lip Gloss Pencil in Buenos Aires from the new Summer 2012 Collection. - Weekly goals:
Make some headway on a few writing projects, get back on track with my workouts, do a little bit of cleaning (so I don’t have to do it all on the weekeend), and get to bed by 10 every night (seems like I’m always aiming for this one but falling short).
G’morning, friend! I’m just about to jump on the treadmill. Back when I was younger, I was an afternoon/early evening exerciser, but that’s changed over the past couple years. Now, if I don’t work out in the morning, it usually doesn’t happen at all.
While I go do my best impression of a hamster on a wheel, let me know how you’re doing with a quick hi in today’s Monday Poll. 🙂

2. What type of coverage do you like for foundation? I always think that i like light coverage, but my discolorations and massive amounts of freckles work better with a medium coverage. People say I look better in light, but I feel better with medium 🙂

Plus I don’t think I’ve been asked to keep a secret in like 5 years — well unless it was a good secret like one of my friends planning a wedding proposal.. that’s worth the secret!

1. Mood: pretty bummed, unfortunately.
2. What type of coverage do you like for foundation?: Very sheer. I even find Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer to be too thick. The only one I’ve come to like as of recent is the DiorSkin Nude. Pricey, and just a smidgen too dark, even the lightest color, but it blends nicely and looks super natural.
3. Do you own a charm bracelet?: No.
4. Your favorite childhood games?: I don’t know how to explain it, it’s a French game much like hopscotch, but instead it’s in a spiral/snail like shape.
5. Have you ever thrown your pet a birthday party?: Yes..

6. Last person to whom you said, “I love you.†My husband
7. A song that reminds you of college? That’s tough – anything by Missy Elliot. Also, I had a roomie who had the Dixie Chicks song, “Cowboy Take Me Away” on repeat for months. Whenever I hear that song it reminds me of sitting down with our RA to hash it out!
8. Can you keep a secret? Usually. I have to admit, most of the time – I will cave and tell my husband.
9. What are you wearing on your lips? MAC Viva Glam VI
