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 five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. 🌻
1. Essie Ballet Slippers — all that and a bag of chips, or just eh?
Eh, it’s alright. I do recognize that it’s one of those classic neutrals that that works for a lot of occasions but I think there are other brands that do sheer pink polish just as well, or even better.
2. Where do you prefer doing a pop of color — lips, lids or cheeks?
Normally, my cheeks because I feel like I get the most bang for my buck there, since blush covers such a big chunk of face real estate.
During the masked pandemic times though, I prefer a swish of colorful liner on my upper lash line.
3. How much do you like taking quizzes in magazines?
I loved them when I was a teenager! The sillier the better.
4. Something you’d like to give away?
Um…my anxiety? Any takers? LOL!
Really, though, I have 15 pounds of russet potatoes sitting in my kitchen right now because my parents gave me two bags of them for Easter (yes, super weird), so if someone knocked on my door right now and asked for some potatoes, I’d say, “You’ve come to the right place! Knock yourself out.”
5. Cheddar, Swiss or Brie?
Brie, baby!
6. Would you rather be a hippo or a shark?
Hippo all the way, because they seem more relaxed than sharks (?), and, like, I can just see myself being as shark and being totally tense and stressed out all the time.
No thank you!
7. How quickly does it take for you to know that you click with someone?
It really depends. I’ve made friends with people I’ve gotten along with from the get-go, and I’ve had other friendships that took a while to blossom, but normally I can tell within 20 minutes or so if I’m really connecting and getting along with someone.
8. Are you (or have you ever been) a trendsetter?
Hmm… I think so, sort of, back in the day. I’ve always loved pushing boundaries and trying new things with fashion and makeup, but seasons change in life as they do in nature, and these days I’m more comfortable with classic style. But maybe I’ll get back to that trendy space someday… You never know.
9. Something inspiring you at the moment?
I’ve been binging a French show about movie agents on Netflix called Call My Agent, and the makeup is very cool — super restrained and très chic. It’s refreshing to see brows, lashes and skin that aren’t completely over the top.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.P.S. Good morning, beautiful girl! Happy Monday to you. Just in case you haven’t heard it lately, a gentle reminder: you should be so, so proud of where you are and all of your progress so far. Remember, it doesn’t have to happen all at once. You’re closer to whatever it is you’re working toward than you were yesterday, so keep at it, OK? You can do it. 🤗
Oh, and this little lady says hi! All of us here at Casa de MBB hope you had a wonderful Easter.
