Makeup as well as beauty blog Monday Poll, Vol. 457
So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t precisely a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random listing of concerns I’ve been putting out to visitors every Monday morning for the past nine (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, as well as I hope you enjoy reading mine.
1. What was the last truly fascinating conversation you had?
It was on Saturday with my buddy Alis at Fox + stone salon. While coloring my hair as well as cutting my bangs, she dropped some huge news on me. She was lastly moving to vegas where her fiancé lives, which she’d been planning for as well as speaking about for a long time, as well as she was actually doing it that weekend! Like, they had just packed up the U-Haul as well as were hitting the road the second she completed cutting my hair.
We’ve understood each other for many years now, as well as we talked about exactly how when you’re younger, it’s easier to make strong moves since you’re utilized to things altering in your life. It seems like from one year to the next, or from one month to the next, you have to get utilized to your everyday patterns changing, as well as your life changing, however as you move into your 30s as well as 40s as well as beyond, it becomes harder to make those type of huge changes, for a range of reasons.

But she was lastly doing it! I mean, of program I’m gonna miss her since she’s my friend, however she likewise gets my hair, as well as it’s difficult to discover people you can trust who likewise get your hair.
2. What’s a noise that reminds you of home?
There’s a church a few blocks from right here with church bells that noise twice a day — when at noon as well as when at six o’clock — as well as no matter where I am in the house, whether it’s in my office or downstairs in the living room, I can always hear those church bells.
So whenever I hear church bells, it reminds me of home.

3. have you ever felt like an outsider?
Oh, sure. as well as it’s never fun. One long stretch was when I was a senior in college as well as living with roommates. We were all girls, as well as I’d previously gotten together with them, however people change, as well as we started doing our own things apart. I didn’t truly hang out with them as much as I utilized to, however they kept getting better to every other. I truly got to feeling like the outsider, as well as I basically lived like that for a year.
I’ve likewise felt like an outsider at some beauty events, for sure. There always the super attractive women with their clicks of friends, however I just type of do my own thing as well as try to make buddies along the way.
4. Are you more of a back sleeper, a stomach sleeper or a side sleeper?
I usually autumn asleep on my back as well as stay that method for most of the night up until morning, when I’m half awake or half asleep, as well as I wiggle around as well as sleep on either my side or my stomach.
So, all three.
5. walk me with exactly how you usually style your hair.
If you’re one of those people who can just step out of the shower as well as comb or clean your hair, can I just state that I’m so jealous? — since my process is completely as well complicated.
It starts right after I laundry as well as condition my hair. First, I towel dry it, then grab a flat clean as well as my really, truly old first-gen T3 hairdryer. Then, I strike dry my bangs straight, since if I don’t do it right after I get out of the shower, they dry funny, poof up as well as look truly ridiculous.
So, I do that, then run the clean with the rest of my hair as well as let it air dry, as well as I usually do this at night since I’m a night shower-er.
The next morning, I run the clean with my hair once again to take out any type of knots. Then, I take a GHD curling iron, which are type of expensive, however I believe they’re truly as well as truly the best, as well as I separate as well as part my hair into sections.
I part it right down the middle in the back, as well as then I do the left side first, section by section, curling the pieces, as well as then the right side. When it’s all done, I run my fingers with it as well as apply a bit bit of styling cream or styling oil. Today I utilized the Shu Uemura oil from the mid-shaft to the ends to smooth down any type of frizzies.
Break in the storm
After a few days of quite heavy rain, it appears like a short break in the storm today, so I’m looking ahead to getting some fresh air outside on a quick walk around the circle with Connor Claire.
Wherever you are, I hope you’re able to get outside for a bit bit.
It’s Monday once again and, as usual, I feel overwhelmed by my to-do list.
Big sigh…
But we can do this. I understand we can. have a fantastic daytoday, my friend, as well as I’ll try to have one too.
