Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Feb. 7 - Makeup and Beauty Blog

January 27, 2022 Post a Comment

Yous might be wondering, "So what the heck is this Monday Poll matter anyway?"
Well, it isn't much of a poll. It's more than just a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I've been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past three years, which I gauge makes this somewhere around Vol. 156. I've always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.

Mood:

Relaxed and focused.

When things become stressful, how do y'all keep a level head?

Stress for me usually ways I've got several big projects converging at once. When that happens, I pour out everything I need to get done on a single piece of newspaper — like written diahrrea! — and organize it into lists. And then, I pick one of the lists and tackle just three items on information technology, starting with either the about urgent event or whatever I tin can get washed the fastest. That way I starting time to build some momentum, which helps go on me focused plenty to press on.

What are you reading right at present?

The Best Food Writing of 2010, edited past Holly Hughes. It'due south a compilation of some of terminal year's greatest hits in food writing. Who knew at that place was such controversy surrounding the point at which you lot table salt your meat?? Even though I don't consider myself a foodie, I still love to read virtually adept nutrient.

One of the all-time times in your life?

1998 was a smashing twelvemonth. I was 23, a senior in higher and single, and I finally found a group of girls I really clicked with (dear you El, Mar and Chris!). On acme of everything, I was also in pretty practiced shape. Ah, to exist a size cypher and 23 over again…

Have you ever had a gel manicure?

Nope, but I'd like to. They're specialized manicures where they cure each layer of smoothen under a UV light for a few minutes later application. It's supposed to result in fast-drying, sturdy enamel that can last up to 14 days or longer.

I don't know… Because I'k e'er swatching, I demand to have my fingers bare at a moment'due south notice, and I don't desire to spend $45 on a gel mani that I'd then had to remove before its time.

3 simple pleaures?

1) Waking up to find Tabs sleeping side by side to me, 2) the spicy chai latte at the Nordstrom Espresso Bar and 3) sunny seventy-degree days.

Whom do you call when you need advice?

Ghostbusters! LOL, just kidding. My friends from childhood (Jen and Cindy), my brother and El Hub.

A recent happy moment?

Last Saturday I went hiking in Indian Valley, which is a hilly nature preserve not far from here in Novato. On the walk I wandered into a shaded grotto of oak trees. The wind was rustling through the branches upward above, and the leaves crunched beneath my feet. What a peaceful, wonderful niggling moment.

Are y'all a blood-red dress kinda girl?

Heck, yes! And throw in high-heeled reddish pumps while you're at information technology, por favor.

Weekly goals:

To practice staying in the moment.

Happy Monday to ya. 🙂 I trust you're feeling rested? I actually slept really well final night (shocker!).

Kinda random, but while I was sipping on a mug of green tea this morning time I got to thinking well-nigh focusing on the "now." It's something I'd like to get meliorate at doing. Every day last week I felt like I woke upward, parked my bum downwardly in forepart of the computer and got lost typing away. Before I knew it, the sun was setting outside.

I hate it when that happens, and then I'm going to make time each twenty-four hours to go for a quick walk. Sounds kinda hippy dippy, I know, only ya gotta notice joy in everything, even the small stuff.

Anywho, if you're game and take a few minutes to spare, how almost touching base in the Monday Poll? Think of it every bit a long, all-day coffee intermission where we share what we're doing in our little corners of the globe. 🙂
