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 five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. ?
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Scrunchies-4-life, lady!
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
I have about a handful of them and will throw them in the washer every couple weeks (or so), but back in the day when scrunchies were ubiquitous — when they were at the height of their scrunchie-ness — I did not.
This was gross, now that I think about it… I bet all of mine were crusted over with hairspray and L’Oréal Pumping Curls.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
Benzoyl peroxide. It’s not revolutionary, but BP works for my skin!
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
Hmm… I prefer having different colors on my nails than I have on my toes, but cohesiveness is cool too!
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
Last time was about a week and a half ago, and I used a bar of Dr. Bronner’s soap.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
Ooh! They’re both challenging, but growing out brows are harder, methinks, because you can’t just put them in a ponytail or hide them underneath a hat… They’re just “there” in the middle of your face, staring at you every time you look in the mirror!
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
Sigh… I desperately need a haircut, but one thing my mop has going for it is that it’s still in relatively healthy shape. My ends aren’t dry, and my grays are relatively smooth.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
Yes! I bought some face masks last week for the family from a brand called Caraa (a friend recommended them), and I got Connor some clothes for fall from Target and Carters because the kid just keeps growing.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Heck, yeah, man. BRING IT!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Here are the questions to copy/paste with your answers in a comment. Talk to ya soon.
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
9. Y’all ready for this?
P.P.S. Have a wonderful day! YOU DESERVE IT! Treat yourself to something nice this week, and hang in there! You can do it! ?
1. Claw clips! I use them in the shower. ? Once I got off the first scrunchie bandwagon, I could never find it in me to hop back on!
2. N/A
3. I don’t even know what the first one is so I’ll go with SA!
4. It CAN, but doesn’t mean it SHOULD. Do what you want!
5. Umm…? No comment! But I do actually plan on washing them today. No joke! A friend used them this weekend so…
6. A bad haircut! I got a really terrible cut before I started college (the horror!) which was the worst. I also once cut my bangs with too much enthusiasm and it was a pain to grow back out. I haven’t gotten my brows done since March and honestly am kind of digging it.
7. The length. ? And the time/energy to play with different conditioning treatments. I love getting those little packets from ULTA or Walmart and finding out which ones work and smell the best.
8. I’m waiting for a shipment from Soma as I type! I don’t normally online shop, I think this is like the 4th thing I’ve ordered online since March, which is actually more than I’ve online shopped before. I’m not much of a shopper. My husband on the other hand receives packages nearly every day.
9. I think so? ?
Hahaha, I have a small collection of claw clips in my shower! LOL! I put my conditioner in, throw my hair up in a bun, then shave/exfoliate/etc. Great minds think alike!
Happy Monday!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? Currently just the Goody hair elastics for me but, back in the day, scrunchie all the way!
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? I did.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Salicylic acid for me. It works better for me and doesn’t bleach/discolor my towels and pillow cases.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? Sure, if you want. Mine never does though. I prefer darker, opaque color on my toenails and very sheer and light nudes on my fingernails.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? Oh, geesh. It’s been many months because I almost never use them now. I did wash a blender recently with some Equate foaming spray from Walmart.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? Definitely brows because when you get older (and overplucked in your youth), they don’t grow back. Except where you don’t want them, that is.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? It’s healthy, shiny and very low maintenance.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? I just bought a meat thermometer and a (human) touchless thermometer from Amazon.
9. Y’all ready for this? Excellent use of the 2 Unlimited tune. 🙂 You bet! Totally ready!
How did I know you would get the 2 Unlimited reference? See, this is yet another reason I’m convinced we will cosmically connect in person someday!
HAHA! Because you know I’m a cheeseball stuck in the 90s? 😉 I do agree about the cosmic meeting. I tell the Hubs regularly that we WILL be flying to SF and driving the PCH. He’s not as enthusiastic (hates being in the car) but I’m trying to get a “in the next 5 years” guarantee. Let’s hope it’s before Connor graduates!
That is the trip you go on when the boys finish college. 🙂
Um, and weren’t you just teaching their little league team two seconds ago?
Happy Monday!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Claw clips, I feel they’re more comfortable.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
Nope, now I feel bad.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
BP, because my main problem with Salycilic is that not many good formulations are easily available (at least here), while you can get a good BP at the drugstore.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
Only if you want to, I like it when they match but if your sandals go better with a different color then do them different.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
Yesterday because it was necessary.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
A hair cut, but I think that I’m analyzing the situation from the idea of letting it grow from short which is a pain.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
Well I trimmed it to a buzz cut because of dermatitis (bleached hair doesn’t go well with the treatment) and I decided to chop it all. I love it at the beginning because everything was easier, so I’ll say practicality.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
Not really, I was tempted with underwear from H&M but I didn’t buy them at the end.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Well, not really but I’m going to give my best.
I bet it was freeing to chop off your hair! Did it feel lighter at all? I cannot wait to get mine cut!
I feel that every time you cut more than four inches you feel liberated and yes it feel like having nothing. Also I looked five years younger which is always interesting.
Everyone says that when I chop my hair off too, and I’m like, “Really?” I’m this close to cutting mine off by myself, LOL! I will have to vicariously live through you, I guess. 🙂
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? I don’t have enough hair for either but when I did, scrunchies
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? I don’t think I did back then but ?♀️ college
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Salicylic acid. BP is harsh and ruins fabrics
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? No but sometimes I do
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? Can’t remember but I use my shampoo when I do
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? Haircut regardless if it is good or bad. I went 4 months between haircuts because of Covid and it was annoying. At least no one saw me during the first 2 months
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? No one saw it ?
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? Nordstrom sale – sweater & booties. I’m ready for fall and over the heat & humidity
9. Y’all ready for this? I don’t know – I didn’t handle losing power last week very well ?
Oh gosh, losing your power is rough! I feel you!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Claw clip, though my hair is really a bit too fine for them.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
I don’t really use them!
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid. Benzoyl Perixide makes my skin really red and rashy.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
They don’t have to, but if you like that, that’s cool too.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
I’m on using two of my brushes right now, I cleaned them maybe two weeks ago using some face wash I didn’t like.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
I’ve never truly had to grow out my brows, but I agree with you!
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
I started using Overtone and I like how it makes my hair just a bit brighter!
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
Just got some skincare and haircare in the mail! Also ordered my dad birthday gifts for last week.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Never!
I know a lot of people love Overtone. If I was still coloring my hair I’d definitely be interested in trying! What shade did you pick?
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Scrunchies slide right out so claw clip.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
Never.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
I don’t really use either of them. I don’t think they do much for me.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
I actually try to avoid this. I do colours on toes and shiny clear coat on my nails.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
About a week or so ago. I use Rocky Mountain soap everything wash.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
I agree with the brows. With hair you have options to cover it up. For brows you can only do long full bangs and that’s another can of worms in itself lol
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
Nothing is different about it
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
We were during the height of Covid but not so much lately.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Yes! I’ve made the decision to quit my job! I already feel so free and less stressed. I’m so excited to tell the boss tomorrow!
Congrats on making the decision to move forward into something else. I hope this new phase of your career will bring you good things!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Scrunchie! My hair is too thick and wild to be tamed by a claw clip.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
….Thank you for the reminder. LOL
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
BP all day, even if it does bleach my sheets/pillow case. It works.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
Should? Nah. I’ll coordinate ’em sometimes but they’re never the same color. I like ’em to “go” with each other rather than be matchy-matchy.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
About 2 weeks ago, with Ulta’s brush cleanser. I think I’ve used the brushes once since then.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
Bad hair cut. You can draw your brows back on. I’ve had to grow out a botched hair cut (mullet – and you fix a mullet by chopping it ALL off, there were tears) and it was a lot of upkeep for my hair. Heat styling every day to keep it from getting too wild-looking.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
I’ve been able to really play with the curly girl method for my waves and see what the waves like and don’t like, as well as washing my hair in the morning and letting it air dry to see what it does. I have much more time to pay attention to it.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
Sure have. I have roughly 10 tabs open for wedding dresses, it’s a wild time to be shopping for one.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Honestly? No. I’d much rather go back to bed!
I had an unintentional mullet once too! The stylist gave me super choppy layers with a razor and I basically couldn’t wear my hair down for a year. IT WAS ROUGH!
YES. And when you add in thick, a bit wavy, and kind of coarse, there is absolutely no taming it. I had to straighten it every day, even if I went to bed with dry hair because it’d get too roughed up while sleeping. Add in this all happened 3 days before I moved into my dorm my freshmen year of college and…it was a bit traumatic. Everyone thought I chopped my hair to my chin for “a fresh start.” Nooooo!
My hair is also thick with a funky wave pattern on the top layers and flat on the inside layer so I feel your pain deeply. I admire you for putting in the effort into styling it though!
Ladies, to my horror and extreme opposition, one of my boys has a mullet. I don’t know if it’s become cool anywhere else but he certainly thinks it is. He’s having 2 sets of senior pictures taken and our deal was he could have it for this first set but he has to grow it out and get a mom-approved cut for his second set in 2 months. He does have great hair with a lot of curl so it’s not AS bad but I still have a hard time. Karen, I’ll send one of the pics on messenger so you can laugh/cringe with me. HAHA!
I would have a hard time too, FOR SURE!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? Ooh…probably scrunchie because they are cuter. However, I need to add that I read banana clips are back! I cannot wait for banana clips to catch on because they look particularly amazing in curly hair!
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? I have, but not recently.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Not sure.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? I like when they match, but they don’t have to. Now that I’m doing them at home I have to keep up with manicures more because I cannot handle chipped polish!
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? I used baby shampoo about a week ago. It’s time to wash them again.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? There are a lot of good brow products out there now, so I’d say growing out a bad haircut is harder.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? It’s getting really healthy! Less coloring, less washing, more deep conditioning, and air drying have been really great for my hair!
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? Nothing too exciting. I’m waiting for more fall clothes!
9. Y’all ready for this? Heck yeah!
What, bananaclips are back?! They were a mainstay for me back in the day (wavy haired girl here).
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Scrunchies, but I do like claw clips.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
I’ve never ever thought to wash them. I don’t use any product in my hair, it has never occurred to me to wash them.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
I very very rarely break out, so a tiny dab of BP works, but I’d rather not use anything.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
Never for me. Ever. I like wildly different Mani’s and pedis. Matching is cute on others, but a huge no on me.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
This morning, and I also use Dr Bronner’s
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
Haircut, brow pencils can hide anything. And I wear big dark framed glasses, so it’s hard to see my eyebrows.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
I’ve mastered the messy bun.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
Yes! I brought a pair of rose gold holo sneakers. I’m in looooove!
9. Y’all ready for this?
School starts tomorrow for my freshman, online only, and while it hits differently this year, I love school!
Your sneakers sound super cute! I hope they’re comfortable, too!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? I have layers so a scrunchy works better
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? From time to time
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? They do two different things so it’s not a one or the other. Salicylic Acid exfloliates the skin. Benzoyl Peroxide tactless bacteria. I use both. Salicylic for all over. Benzoyl Peroxide for spot treatment. Not everyone needs either but if you have oily acne prone skin, you understand the importance and DIFFERENCE of each. Js
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? I rarely paint my toes so I have no opinion on the matter
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? Too long ago and I keep putting off cleaning them bc I have too many brushes. I use Dr.Bonner Castile Soap
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? Brows. Haircuts grow out super fast for me. The struggles of too thick long hair
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? Scrunchies are its best friend?
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? Too much. I finally got my hands on the Natasha Denona mini retro!
9. Y’all ready for this? Of course!
Dr. Bronner’s rocks! So affordable and works great.
Happy Monday!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Scrunchie, although I can’t find any of mine, because certain people keep taking mine. (This will be you in a very short time. If you have a girl in your life, your possessions are never safe, lol.)
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
Yes. When I can find them.?
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
I don’t think I’ve ever tried BP. Salicylic acid always does the trick.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
I seldom have either, but I don’t think I’ve ever had both match.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
I don’t remember when I cleaned them last- a few weeks, I think. I haven’t been doing much makeup, so I haven’t worried about it much. I use the solid Beauty Blender cleanser.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
No, the worst of all: growing out your bangs!!! Actually, I’ve never needed to grow out my brows, so I don’t know about that, but it seems like that would be hard.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
The much shorter cut has been easy to take care of and really cute.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
I bought some books and a pair of wireless ear buds on Friday.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Probably not, lol.
I’m already experiencing that with my meals and my accessories. LOL! I’ve learned that I always need to put a little extra on my plate for Connor otherwise babygirl will end up eating most of my lunch/dinner/snack/whatever! And if I have a bracelet or a necklace that she likes, I end up giving it to her to “borrow” which means that I may or may not see it again. 🙂
Hope you’re having a nice Monday so far!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Scrunchies! I remember back in middle school, I would match my scrunchie color to my shirt.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
You know, I never thought to do that. I keep a mesh bag in the bathroom for reusable cotton pads, so maybe I’ll throw them in there next time the bag goes in the wash.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
Thankfully, I haven’t had to use either in a while, but I remember salicylic working for me – especially with body acne.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
Nope! In fact I think I’m going to treat myself to a mani/pedi for m birthday next week. I’m thinking orange on the toes and a bright pink on my nails. I’m still holding on to summer!
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
It’s been months. But I’ve only worn makeup a handful of times since March. I just use regular hand soap.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
Brows for sure. After all these years of tweezing, I don’t think I can ever grow them back fully. There’s just a lot sparse hairs looking funky.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
I’m embracing air drying it and not using heat styling products as much.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
I randomly went to Kohl’s website and found some cute things for my WFH lifestyle. They actually had a decent petites section and I found some cute cropped jeans.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Ready to jump in with both feet!
Happy Monday!
You got this, too, Karen!! Team MBB!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? Claw.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? N/A; I do occasionally wash my claws, though!
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Salicylic acid. I just got a notification that my The Ordinary order just arrived; I’m trying the salicylic acid 2% masque for the maskne!
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? Nah!
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? I clean them piecemeal so that I’m not so overwhelmed (unlike the pro days when I had to wash the whole mishpucha all at once!) Dr. Bronner’s is the best and that’s what I use, too. The natural oils in the soap effectively lift product out of the brush hairs, even when they don’t appear dirty. I tried using regular bar soap once and it just did not clean as well.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? Brows. Mine are not growing at all.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? This is hard because clumps of it have been falling out lately (stress? hormones? both?). I like that it’s growing rather fast, which is helpful since I decided to grow out the bangs!
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? I had to reorder my wedding band because I lost it over the weekend. 🙁 My husband lost his in the ocean a few years ago so we don’t have our original wedding bands anymore. They were titanium bands that were just a bit too loose on both of us. Thank goodness not too expensive; it is the visual symbol that matters to us. Thankfully, 8 years since I bought my first band, the Etsy vendor still makes them. I did opt for an “upgrade” (and a smaller size!!) this time and ordered one with an opal inset. 😉
9. Y’all ready for this? (*insert SPACE JAM hook*)
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? Dunno. Haven’t had long hair until now.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Depends on the zit. But generally I go for salicylic acid because I hate bleached pillow cases.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? Nah, it doesn’t need to.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? This past weekend. I used a sample of Briogeo shampoo because I couldn’t find my brush cleaning bar from Japan. They were synthetics so I didn’t really care. If they were natural hair, I would have continued to tear the house apart to find that bar of brush cleaner.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? A bad haircut. My brows are bushy on their own.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? Uh, uh, uh, it’s longer? Ok, now that it’s longer it’s also wavier.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? Yes, I spent a boatload the first day of access for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. It just needs to be delivered now! I’m guessing that at least half of it will go back because I have no idea what size I am anymore.
9. Y’all ready for this? No! I’m never ready for anything.
Forgot to say, that is one gorgeous hibiscus!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
scrunchie
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
yup. every week because we gravitate to the same handful everyday
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
both work well with me but lately I’ve been liking salicylic
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
mine very rarely matches unless its for a wedding or something special
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
two weeks ago and we used my hello bello and some dawn soap
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
brows! i was dermaplaning and shaved off too much of my brow and man it was hard to hide the unevenness but then there was covid so no one really saw me.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
I’ve found a good set of shampoo and conditioner that’s helped keep my scalp happy and then another set for nourishing and thickening my hair
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
yes! mask and face shield shopping for the kiddos and took my kindergartener to target to physically pick out some back to school essentials. I wanted her to feel like it was fun and special even if we’ll be doing most of the schooling virtually from home.
9. Y’all ready for this?
Not really but it’s Monday, my coffee was nice and strong and it’s warm and sunny outside! We’re all ready to get our school year going this Thursday!
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? Scrunchie. I have almost waist-length hair and use scrunchies all the time when I need to pull it back and out of the way.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? Yes! Nuff said.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? I haven’t had pimples and the like in decades but I always have some salicylic acid on hand for those times when I think the pores on my nose need a bit of help staying clean and clear. I like Paula’s Choice for that.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? If you mean the exact same shade for tips and toes, then I’d say no, not necessarily. When I wear polish (which is not all that often nowadays), I like a lighter shade on my hands and a more vibrant shade on my toes. The shades should compliment each other.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? This morning ? I wash my used brushes every week so the process goes pretty fast. I like Beauty Blender solid cleaner. It does a good job cleaning without drying out the bristles.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? Well, I don’t have to grow out my brows because they’re thick and well shaped. I don’t get my hair cut into any sort of “do” so I don’t need to deal with that, either. My husband trims an inch off the length every 4-5 weeks. That’s as easy as it gets.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? I can get away with just wearing a ponytail because most days I’m at home.
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? Yes. Yesterday I had to buy new bath mats for one of the bathrooms and today I bought some things during the Nordstrom sale—nothing much; just a couple tops and a bunch of new bras. Exciting, huh? LOL
9. Y’all ready for this? I’m always ready for anything. It’s called going with the flow!
Side note, even though I retired from the school district (LAUSD) eleven years ago, I still get excited in anticipation of a new school year—even one that is as bizarre and uncertain as this one. Kids are awesome! They’re the future and I think they’re going to make it a great one.
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? Claw clips all the way! They’re the best at holding my curly mid length hair out of my face. And I have these ones that lay flat against your head so they’re super comfy to wear.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? Haven’t used one since the 80’s lol
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
Neither- my skin is a sensitive little baby. I use a moisturizer with lactic acid and that’s as wild as I get.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? Mine normally don’t, but hey, whatever works for folks is fine by me!
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
Uhh – I plead the 5th
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
Brows. I don’t have much brows to start with, and they’re right in the middle of your face every time you look in the mirror.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
I’m so glad I stopped colouring my hair years ago. I can miss a haircut for awhile but regrowth use drops drive me nuts!
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? Ohhhh yeah. I’ve bought clothes for me & the kiddo, hair products, groceries and goodness knows what else. Turns out shopping is my coping mechanism.
9. Y’all ready for this? As long as it’s wearing a mask & socially distanced ?
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Neither , the black tie bands
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? No
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Neither
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? It depends on how much I love the color .usually I do complimentary colorA
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
Before the quarantine . I haven’t used a makeup brush
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
Growing out a bad haircut
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
I am not doing it .
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
Oh my god , I need amazon shoppers anonymous
9. Y’all ready for this?
Depends on what I am ready for . Ready for things to go back to not having to wear a mask . Yes . I had so many plans for 2020
1. Claw clip or scrunchie? Claw clip
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours? Nope
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Benzoyl peroxide
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure? No
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? Last week. Parian spirit
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? Haircut because it takes longer. Brows you can put makeup on.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? Not heat styling it. My hair stylist said that I actually had hair growing back! (Much better than losing it!)
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? Yes at Loft
9. Y’all ready for this? Trying to be! Busy season at work, so I’m tired…
1. Claw clip or scrunchie?
Claw clip.
2. Speaking of scrunchies, do you actually wash yours?
Sometimes, if they seem gross. I just pop ‘em in a net bra bag and throw them in with the regular laundry. Once they’re clean they will air dry in a day or two.
3. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
BP; SA makes me crusty. Not a good look.
4. Should your manicure match your pedicure?
No, not necessarily. Usually I wear complementary, but not matching, colors.
5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them?
Several eyeshadow brushes (which is all I use lately) got a bath this weekend. I use dish detergent, swab the brush heads in my palm under running water, rinse thoroughly and lay the brush flat on a paper towel.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut?
Growing out the brows. It takes forever and sometimes they don’t grow back at all.
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair?
It’s fun to braid it wet and pretend the result is Mermaid Waves, when really it’s more like Sea Hag waves!
8. Have you done any online shopping lately?
Ulta just offered a points multiplier, so yes!

5. When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes, and what did you use to clean them? Yesterday I cleaned a bunch of eyeshadow brushes, and I used Cinema Secrets cleaner.
6. What’s harder — growing out your brows or growing out a bad haircut? Bad haircut
7. Something you actually like about your quarantine hair? It’s healthy and long
8. Have you done any online shopping lately? I mostly shop online, even pre-pandemic. Recently, I got the MAC x Teyana Taylor lipsticks, and I ordered the Sydney Grace x Mel Thompson eyeshadow palette, and the blue, cherry, and brown BH Cosmetics Sweet Shoppe palettes. The green one was sold out, and I’m kicking myself for now ordering it when I got the Cotton Candy and orange ones. I hope they’ll restock it.
