So…what is the Monday Poll?
No, se ei ole juuri kysely. It’s much more of a continuously evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always delighted in reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you delight in reading mine.
1. A piece of guidance you would give to someone just getting started in makeup?
Before you pull the set off and purchase that foundation/tinted moisturizer/BB cream or whatever it may be, check to see how it looks on you outside using a mirror, because store lighting can make a product look completely different than it looks in sunlight, or the shade, or even a different type of synthetic lighting (light soft white bulbs vs. daylight bulbs). It helps to check whether a base product is a good match for your skin when you’re in natural light.
I would also say that you typically don’t have to wear as much makeup as you think.

2. say something positive about your stunning body.
My body kicks butt! It can run. It can surf. It continually keeps trying to do yoga, even though downward dogs are like the most challenging thing in the world…
I’m pleased it’s healthy, and I appreciate all the thing it does.
3. how much does packaging matter to you?
It matters to a degree. Obviously, I want the product in the packaging to be good, but it’s good when something also looks pretty sitting on your restroom counter or when you pull it out of your makeup bag, ya know?

If I had to choose between the same product in not-so-cute packaging and the same product in cute packaging, I’d choose the cute option, for sure!
4. What’s something that you didn’t expect to like but ended up liking anyway?
Peppermint ice cream from Baskin-Robbins (I’ve only seen it during the holidays), because MAN! — it looks so nasty, like Pepto-Bismol ice cream. It tastes really good, though.
5. someone that you hope is thinking about you today?
My li’l coywolf. I hope she thinks fondly of me.
Mondays are for magic
May a little bit of magic find you today. have a terrific one, friend!
