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 more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). 1. What holiday beauty gifts have you bought? I picked up a lovely Jo Malone perfume duo, a couple of Laneige skin care sets, my favorite body scrub and a tea tree oil foot spray, among other things! 2. And were any of those beauty gifts for yourself? LOL, surprisingly no! I did…

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 (since 2007). 1. Have you finished your holiday shopping? Have I even started holiday shopping yet? LOL! I’m really behind this year. 2. How early is too early to put your pajamas on in the evenings?

All signs point to no at this point (haven’t really thought about it), but sometimes I manage to rally at the last minute to put something together, so you never know. I might default to my go-to, which is a makeup artist, if I’m…

I’ll always love you, NARS Dragon Girl! 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 more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). 1. Your thoughts on Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving? If it jingles your bells, then go for it. 2. Last time you wore false lashes? I honestly can’t remember. I’m guessing it must’ve been when Connor was a baby, so maybe nine years ago, more or less?…

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 (since 2007). 1. What’s the best thing about rainy days? Hmm, for me it’s a mix of things with one of them being the clean scent of the air after it rains. And back in the day I would say puddle stomping with baby Connor. Side note, would you believe she’s almost 10? Anyways, now…

It’s that time of year again — the holiday season. And it’s in full swing! Halloween zoomed by, and now Thanksgiving’s on the docket. After that, it’s smooth sailing till Christmas. Seriously, though, I don’t know about you, but this year was an enigma wrapped in a riddle for me. We always say, “This year went by so fast!” but no, really, what the heck happened to 2025? I feel like I kinda lost a year, like, I went to bed last July and woke up in November. This was like the cheetah of the 2020s! Zipped right by. Anywho…Thanksgiving.…

Something nice that’s…
