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. Laura Mercier or Urban Decay?
Hard choice as I like both for different reasons. Right now I’d lean more towards Laura Mercier.
2. Your top 3 favorite summer fruits?
Rainier cherries, watermelon and white peaches. SO YUMMY!
3. Sparkly eyeliner: yes or no?
Sure, why not?
4. How do you like your bagel?
Lightly toasted with a few dabs of Kerrygold salted butter.
5. How are you feeling today?
I’m feeling a little sleepy but otherwise in good spirits. I’m hoping today will fly by quickly at work because I’ll be back in the office again this week. It was nice working from home for a hot second, le sigh!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

1. Laura Mercier or Urban Decay? I’ve only ever tried urban decay
2. Your top 3 favorite summer fruits? Cherries, grapes & peaches
3. Sparkly eyeliner: yes or no? No
4. How do you like your bagel? Toasted with cream cheese
5. How are you feeling today? Tired – it’s hot & humid here (Philadelphia area) and I am not a fan of summer anyway. I had to put down my 18 yo cat and we had already lost a cat back in April. My husband is on week 5 of radiation treatments for a parotid tumor (excellent prognosis) but he’s having trouble sleeping due to side effects & has lost his sense of taste which will return after treatment ends but it’s just a whole big mess. Looking forward to September
Thinking good thoughts for you and your family, Melissa.

2. Your top 3 favorite summer fruits? Watermelon, Rainier cherries and cotton candy grapes
3. Sparkly eyeliner: yes or no? Not lately
4. How do you like your bagel? Lightly toasted and cut in half
5. How are you feeling today? Stressed from work
I forgot about cotton candy grapes.
Melissa – prayers for your family and especially your husband! I know he’s the patient but when someone is going through it, it really affects everyone who loves the patient, too. And condolences regarding your kitty. I am glad s/he had a long life, but it’s just never enough time. I hope life is gentle with you.
Thank you. He’s lucky – it’s highly treatable but it’s just a drag. Too much bad stuff all at once

Plain or everything bagel, lightly toasted, with lots of whipped cream cheese. Or I might mix it up with honey pecan cream cheese.
5. How are you feeling today?
So tired. I had one of those nights where you just have non-stop, busy, stressful dreams that make zero sense. I dreamed that all these lizards kept jumping on me. Where did that even come from?! No idea. Ridiculous.🦎🦎🦎
I had a lizard 🦎 in the shower with me when we went to Mexico. Unexpected vacation experience 😳
1. Laura Mercier or Urban Decay? Urban Decay
2. Your top 3 favorite summer fruits? Watermelon, strawberries, marionberries (native to central Oregon, they’re in the blackberry family and GREAT in pies and cobblers)
3. Sparkly eyeliner: yes or no? I’m about 20 years past sparkly anything.
4. How do you like your bagel? Toasted with a little goat butter and/or blackberry jam.
5. How are you feeling today? Pretty good, we’ve had rain in the evenings which made for nice cool sleeping weather.
1. Laura Mercier or Urban Decay?
Laura Mercier.
2. Your top 3 favorite summer fruits?
Rainier cherries (have some in the fridge right now, yum), white peaches and watermelon. Swear I’m not copying you!
3. Sparkly eyeliner: yes or no?
Not on me, thank you.
4. How do you like your bagel?
Toasted with whipped Temptee cream cheese and tiny sliced tomatoes on top.
5. How are you feeling today?
Tired. I weeded for an hour during an excessive heat advisory — not the smartest thing I’ve ever done. (Sadly, not the stupidest either. Ha!)
1. Laura Mercier or Urban Decay? Urban Decay. I still think the Naked Palettes were some of the best shadow collections ever. IMHO.
2. Your top 3 favorite summer fruits? Berries (all of them), melons (all of them), figs & cherries. Sorry, can’t pick just three.
3. Sparkly eyeliner: yes or no? Sure, why not!
4. How do you like your bagel? Toasted with cream cheese, nova and thinly sliced red onion.
5. How are you feeling today? Woke up tired with a kink in my neck because I rolled onto my stomach during the night. Ugh. But had a really good workout that set up the rest of the day for being better. I upped my deadlift by 10# without my back protesting!
Bonus, Dear Husband said he would make it to the south entrance of Yellowstone by 4:30 or 5 to pick the girls up from backpacking to take them to shower and eat a non-trail meal.
1. Laura Mercier or Urban Decay? Laura Mercier. Though both are pretty overpriced.
2. Your top 3 favorite summer fruits? Blueberries, blackberries, and since I can buy them in the summer, apples.
3. Sparkly eyeliner: yes or no? Yes, to highlight the small area right above the lashes (technically I have hooded eyes, but they’re not too bad yet).
4. How do you like your bagel? Never had a good, fresh bagel. They used to sell a frozen bagel that was pretty good. I’d put butter or cream cheese on it.
5. How are you feeling today? So-so. As a cancer “survivor,” I seem to always be rather fatigued. I always have a degree of anemia. Sleeping is also a problem – I can rarely sleep more than 3 hours straight. Then I wake up, and in the summer, I’m always too hot, because the air conditioner stops running around 3:00 AM unless I set it really low.
