So…what is the Monday Poll? #MondayPoll #MakeupandBeautyBlog
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 (#since2007). #MondayMorning #RandomQuestions
1. What’s the weirdest thing you like on your pizza? #PizzaToppings
Hmm, I guess potato and pesto? I had that combo on a pizza once, and even though it seemed weird to me at first to have potato slices on pizza, I didn’t mind it with the pesto sauce. #PotatoOnPizza #PestoSauce
2. What are you in the mood to wear more lately — eye shadow or lipstick? #EyeshadowVsLipstick
Eyeshadow! I’ve been into matte cream eyeshadow sticks. Laura Mercier has a gorgeous cool-toned taupe called Cobblestone that’s really pretty on lids with a swish of brown liner. #MatteEyeshadowSticks #LauraMercier #Cobblestone #BrownLiner
3. What does your favorite water bottle look like? #FavoriteWaterBottle
A coral Hydro Flask water bottle that I got from the Whole Foods in Hawaii a few years back. I like it because it keeps my water super cold and it’s also lightweight! #CoralHydroFlask #ColdWater #Lightweight
4. Vegetables that gross you out and why? #GrossVegetables
Ugh, I have so much vegetable trauma from my childhood. Too many mushy, slimy, soggy gray-green veggies will do that to you! My top grossest ones are okra and bitter melon. Occasionally I’ll have a gross moment with eggplant when it’s overcooked, soggy, and gray. BLECH! #MushyVeggies #SlimyVeggies #SoggyVeggies #Okra #BitterMelon #OvercookedEggplant
5. What’s your stance on wearing sneakers with dresses? #SneakersWithDresses
I’ve always liked wearing sneakers with dresses and have been rockin’ the combo since college. The sneakers do have to make visual sense with the dress in some way, though. I wouldn’t be wearing random tennis shoes with just any old dress, ya know? #FashionCombo #CollegeStyle #VisualSense
Happy Monday, sweet pea. What a beautiful week we have ahead of us. I looked out my window this morning and the sun was shining — hooray! And, when I walked Connor to school, we ran into our favorite neighbor and saw a bunch of cool animals (a morning dove, a squirrel, and a big flock of turkeys). I just got back from a quick stroll and while it’s warm outside, the air has that cool touch of fall. It’s absolutely gorgeous and makes me feel happy to be alive. #HappyMonday #BeautifulWeek #Sunshine #CoolAnimals #FallVibes
I hope that you had a relaxing weekend and that love is surrounding you today. I’m about to put on some makeup with the hope that having it on will help me to *not* cry. It’s the little things! #RelaxingWeekend #LoveSurroundingYou #MakeupTherapy
