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. Which would you rather have: an epic eyeshadow collection or an epic lipstick collection?
My eye makeup game has been super minimal for the past couple of years, so epic lipstick collection it is!
2. If you could only wear one type of pants for the rest of your life, which would you pick: yoga/workout leggings, jeans, chinos or overalls?
Although I like the idea of wearing pants with stretch, I do not love the idea of wearing leggings that hug my butt so closely for the rest of my life. UGH. But I guess I’d go with yoga/workout leggings, simply because I can’t imagine working out in jeans or chinos. And I guess one could dress leggings up for formal occasions?
3. What do you think would be cooler: having wings or having an impenetrable shell?
Wings, all the way. I can see why a shell would be great though, especially if one was unexpectedly under attack, or if people were getting on my nerves and/or I needed to take a nap! Just tuck into the shell and that’s it.
4. What’s for dinner?
Probably lemon pasta because we just picked off a ton of lemons from our lemon tree a few days ago, and I need to use them up. I use this recipe, by the way!
5. What’s easier to do, blending blush or blending eyeshadow?
Oh yeah, blush, for sure.

2. If you could only wear one type of pants for the rest of your life, which would you pick: yoga/workout leggings, jeans, chinos or overalls?
3. What do you think would be cooler: having wings or having an impenetrable shell?
4. What’s for dinner?
5. What’s easier to do, blending blush or blending eyeshadow?
1. Which would you rather have: an epic eyeshadow collection or an epic lipstick collection? Lipstick, because I have enough eyeshadow to last the rest of my life (literally). There are a lot of lipstick shades I have never tried.
2. If you could only wear one type of pants for the rest of your life, which would you pick: yoga/workout leggings, jeans, chinos or overalls? Jeans.
3. What do you think would be cooler: having wings or having an impenetrable shell? Wings, if they actually worked.
4. What’s for dinner? I had part of a frozen California Pizza Kitchen pepperoni pizza. Not as good as I’d hoped, but that was because it was “older,” – it had a pull date of July 2025, and the crust had started to take on that “cardboard” flavor (it was packed with a cardboard piece under it). I’ve got to stop buying clearance-priced pizzas, because there’s almost always something wrong with the flavor by the time a store will put a clearance price on them. One thing about frozen food – I think most are manufactured 18 to 24 months before their pull dates. Something to keep in mind while shopping for that.
5. What’s easier to do, blending blush or blending eyeshadow? Blush.
1. Which would you rather have: an epic eyeshadow collection or an epic lipstick collection? Lipstick!!! Years ago…I probably would have said eyeshadow. Eye shadows are so pretty to collect, but I use the same color all the time now. I still like trying out different lipstick colors.
2. If you could only wear one type of pants for the rest of your life, which would you pick: yoga/workout leggings, jeans, chinos or overalls? It would be hard to choose between jeans and leggings. If I had to choose…I guess jeans. At least there are a bunch of different styles available and they go with everything.
3. What do you think would be cooler: having wings or having an impenetrable shell? Wings.
4. What’s for dinner? I’m answering this on Tuesday morning…I have no idea…Maybe wraps. We make a bunch of different wraps (uncooked organic flour tortillas from Costco) ahead of time and freeze them…breakfast, bean, taco, chicken…then we throw them in the air fryer. The kids love them and makes the night super easy.
5. What’s easier to do, blending blush or blending eyeshadow? Blush…I HATE blending eyeshadow😐
1. Which would you rather have: an epic eyeshadow collection or an epic lipstick collection?
Lipstick. I have a weakness for lipstick.
2. If you could only wear one type of pants for the rest of your life, which would you pick: yoga/workout leggings, jeans, chinos or overalls?
I’m not a fan of any of these (I mostly live in joggers and dresses), but I pick jeans.
3. What do you think would be cooler: having wings or having an impenetrable shell?
As an introvert, I want to say the shell. But I’m imagining it would be very heavy. So I’m going to go with wings. (Overthinking much?)😄
4. What’s for dinner?
Stroganoff meatballs in the slow cooker.
5. What’s easier to do, blending blush or blending eyeshadow?
Absolutely blush.
1. Which would you rather have: an epic eyeshadow collection or an epic lipstick collection? Lipstick – my eyeshadow is minimal and usually just one of the Ilia palettes.
2. If you could only wear one type of pants for the rest of your life, which would you pick: yoga/workout leggings, jeans, chinos or overalls? Yoga, though I have the relaxed leg ones that are a cross between a legging and a sweat pant. Much more comfortable when sitting at a desk all day.
3. What do you think would be cooler: having wings or having an impenetrable shell? Wings – though I’d want TCAS to avoid oncoming planes.
4. What’s for dinner? Pork tenderloin with garlic and herbs, German noodles and broccoli for hubby. Noddles, Broccoli and sauteed tofu for me (I’m vegetarian).
5. What’s easier to do, blending blush or blending eyeshadow? I don’t wear blush with really rosy checks. I’m not good at blending . . period.
What ever happened to makeup reviews? They were so informative.
1. Which would you rather have: an epic eyeshadow collection or an epic lipstick collection? Eye shadow collection for sure. Lipstick goes off too fast.
2. If you could only wear one type of pants for the rest of your life, which would you pick: yoga/workout leggings, jeans, chinos or overalls? I’m retired and love to work in the gardens and hike up into he hills with my dog so I wear jeans most days.
3. What do you think would be cooler: having wings or having an impenetrable shell?i’d love to have wings. I already have an impenetrable shell. It’s called setting boundaries.
4. What’s for dinner? I had some dental surgery so it was just soup for me. My husband ate dinner out.
5. What’s easier to do, blending blush or blending eyeshadow? They’re both easy when you have the right brushes, but working with several eyeshadows can definitely be more complex.
