keep moving, my friend.

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. ocean or mountain?

Ocean ?

2. Pepsi or Coke?

Coke, because it tastes more peppery and less sugary. Preferably, it’s in a glass bottle and chilled (tastes totally different than Coke in a can), but I’ll take a fountain Coke over ice, as long as it’s not watered down.

I haven’t had one in years, though. just small sips from El Hub’s glass here and there, so I wonder if I’d still actually like it… Yeah, I’m pretty sure I would. ?

3. have you ever hit a deer?

Nope, knock on wood, but they’re all over the place here. during rutting season you have to be extra careful when you’re driving, especially around blind corners, because bucks will run with the traffic on the roads, weaving between automobiles and sometimes leaping over the hood! ?

4. would you ever get your brows microbladed?

I don’t know. maybe if I could find someone I could trust 100% who did very natural-looking brows. I get freaked out by the thought of putting my brows into someone else’s hands… It’s a weird control thing, I guess!

5. how many layers of mascara do you usually wear?

Two layers on my top lashes (sometimes three), but no mascara on my bottom lashes, which is a recent development, because I used to be a lower-lash-mascara kinda gal, but over the last year I’ve learned that the less I wear underneath my eyes, the less tired I look. Go figure.

I think you’re just what I needed

Hiya. first things first…THIS song BY THE CARS. I heard it for the first time in years last weekend, and it was, quite literally, just what I needed. ?

Secondly, El Hub, CoyCoy and I went for a long drive yesterday out to the Marin French Cheese Company. The store and deli were closed, of course, but the time outside the house was just what I needed. We haven’t left our neighborhood in weeks, and it was so nice to be outdoors in a big open space.

There were two other people there along with us, and we gave each other plenty of social distancing space.

It was nice to feel somewhat normal again, even if it was only for a brief moment… I do wonder if things will ever feel truly normal again.

Take care of yourself this week. love you.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
