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. Group chats: love ‘em or leave ‘em?
It depends on the group, hahaha! I mostly love ‘em, and for those chats that I wanna leave (but can’t for whatever reason), well, that’s when the mute button comes in handy.
2. Full, medium or sheer?
Hmm. For things like face makeup, then medium or sheer, although to be honest medium feels like full coverage for me these days! When it comes to, like, nail polish, though? Opaque all the way. I’ve got no time for sheer nail polish these days. Oh, and does this apply to perfume, too? Because if we’re talking about scents, I’ve been more into medium and sheer scents lately.
3. Did you pick up anything during the Sephora sale?
Not this time, no. I was going to grab another bottle of Supergoop Protec(tint), but I kinda forgot, so oh well! It’s not like Sephora isn’t going to have another sale, ya know?
4. Does it feel like spring let in your neighborhood?
Yes, because according to my allergies (ah-choo!) and the 70-degree weather today, spring is officially here.
5. Do you own a record player?
Nope, although I kinda want one! Now if only I could find my vinyl copy of Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” from the ‘80s. I had it all the way through senior year in college, and it disappeared during one of the many moves while I was a 20-something.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

1. Group chats: love ‘em or leave ‘em?
Never done one where everything had to be typed. Have had small group audio meetings at work. I don’t much care for wearing headphones.
2. Full, medium or sheer? Medium until I can find a full-coverage foundation that looks normal on me.
3. Did you pick up anything during the Sephora sale? Not yet, and I probably won’t. More pressing matters are occupying my time.
4. Does it feel like spring let in your neighborhood? In this part of the country, you can get spring-like (or even summer-like) weather as early as February. So of course it does, and there’s pollen and fungus everywhere. You can hear people cough, sneeze, and gag everywhere.
5. Do you own a record player? No, but every now and then I think about buying one. My Jr. High band was put on a vinyl record, and I have no way to listen to it. My brothers and father had turntables, but I never bought one. I do have a few CD players and audio tape players.
1. Group chats: love ‘em or leave ‘em?
We have some group texts with my family, it gets confusing to remember who is in which one!
2. Full, medium or sheer?
Medium.
3. Did you pick up anything during the Sephora sale?
No I am trying to do a low buy/no buy and use up what I have!
4. Does it feel like spring let in your neighborhood?
We get teases of spring then it gets cold again! I am so ready for spring though!
5. Do you own a record player?
Yes my husband collects records. I used to so he has all of mine too, and my moms!
1. Group chats: love ‘em or leave ‘em? Leave’em…my family is always sending texts this way…drives me crazy🤣
2. Full, medium or sheer? Medium
3. Did you pick up anything during the Sephora sale? I have not. Ulta stole my business by sending me a 20% coupon😜. I bought sunscreen for my kiddos, a concealer, and a lip liner. I also got 15% from Macy’s and bought another concealer. Sephora was only 10% for me and was not worth it.
4. Does it feel like spring let in your neighborhood? I’m in an area where it changes daily. One day Spring and the next Winter comes raging back.
5. Do you own a record player? No
1. Group chats: love ‘em or leave ‘em? Leave as soon as I can – they always descend into a disaster
2. Full, medium or sheer? Makeup – sheer/medium.
3. Did you pick up anything during the Sephora sale? Sunblock & tinted moisturizer
4. Does it feel like spring let in your neighborhood? Now it does – getting buds on the trees
5. Do you own a record player? No but my dad had lots of audio equipment including a reel to reel tape player & those were the first to sell at our estate sale. I ended up donating 200 records that didn’t sell
