So…what is the Monday Poll?
Excellent question! It isn’t, in contrast to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of a lot more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).
1. Sheer, medium or full coverage?
Oh, man. Karen from 2014 would be shaking in her Fergie boots to hear me say this now, but sheer, mostly. occasionally I’ll venture into medium coverage, but even that feels heavy to me now. remarkable how a few years (and a global pandemic) can change your appeal routines completely!
2. Are you allergic to anything?
Yeah, pollen and everything that grows in the spring; when it gets really bad, not only am I sniffly and sneezy, hives erupt on my face, and my hands and feet get incredibly itchy. thank goodness for allergy meds! I would be completely unless without them.

3. how do you like your oatmeal?
With a splash of evaporated milk, berries (either blueberries or strawberries) and a spoonful of maple syrup. YUM!
4. things that bug you a lot of about clothes?
UGH, so lots of things, but itchy things (tags, lace, etc.) are the worst! Also, if anything is too tight or bulky, I will have nothing to make with it. Oh, and I am so annoyed that it took me this long to figure it out, but if I don’t get petite-size anything, I’ll be regularly tugging or rolling stuff up.
5. Brow products you use most/least?
Most: brow pencil, clear brow gel, and if it counts, tweezers and brow scissors. Least: brow wax, brow powder, tinted brow gel, brow markers, brow pencil highlighters that carve out your arches…

6. Are you a gal who prefers one tube of mascara, or would you rather have multiple mascaras around to choose from?
I used to take pleasure in a small army of mascaras in my makeup bag, but now I’m a one-and-done kind of girl. I’m currently on the hunt for a new mascara, and I’m actually thinking of going back to an old favorite, YSL artificial Cils.
7. Skin care that reminds you of your teenage years?
Hella scratchy Buff Puffs, Clinique 3-step, Neutrogena soap bars, all the alcohol-based astringent toners like Sea breeze (OMG!).
8. nail polish today?
Yup, Smith & Cult Bitter Buddhist.
9. A goal for this week?
Eat 5 cups of veggies every day!
Your friendly neighborhood appeal addict,
Karen
