So…what is the Monday Poll?
Good question! It isn’t, in contrast to its name, an actual poll. It’s just a list of five a lot more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past gazillion years (more than 10!). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a great start. ?
Rise and shine, morning glory! delighted Monday. ?? I’ll be in and out today because I have some cool things to do for the Connor Claire store. and I want to do ’em. So that’s what I’m doing today, but I’m also blogging in a way because I’ll be wearing makeup and testing a few things to share with you.
Now, the poll!

1. A little…never hurt anyone.
A little dry shampoo never hurt any individual (best one of all time: R+Co death Valley). I mean, if you think about it, you get an extra day out of your hairdo, lift at your roots, and, in some cases, kick-@ss perfumes (hi, Oribe)… Actually, when I’m made with this, I’m gonna use some because my hair feels gross. It’s been like two days considering that I washed it.
2. crazy baby hairs — how the heck do you tame them?
Well, you can stop battling them and just let them be all crazy, which is what I do sometimes. Or, you can do certain things, like redirecting your part, to make the taming process a little easier.
I part slightly down the center left now, whereas I used to do a deep part on my right, and the only reason I do this now is because of a few weeks when I was too worn out to bother with my hair, and I just let it do what it wanted to, and the baby hairs always went a certain way…so when I just opt for it and don’t spend all my life battling them, it makes my life easier.

So, opt for the grain.
Also, use lots of products if you need to. I highly recommend R+Co – control flexible Paste, and also use a strong hairspray that doesn’t flake (I like Bumble and Bumble strong finish firm Hold Hairspray).
3. who or what do you currently need a break from?
Honestly, I would love a break — or, perhaps, a permanent breakup — from my anxiety. That would be nice. Basically…it’s hard to adult in the Bay Area. There are so lots of times when I just wish we could pack up and step someplace 1) cheaper, 2) that isn’t out in the middle of nowhere, 3) that’s still close to my family, 4) that has great weather 5) and lots of Asians and different cultures.
Where is this place?? You tell me, ’cause I’ll step there. I’ll be your neighbor! ??
Anyway, kids are expensive! and Connor’s starting preschool soon. If we conveniently won the lottery, that would be great.
4. What kind of pie would you like?
I don’t think peaches are in season yet, but they must be soon, right? I would love a peach pie with a crust made from scratch and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. (Not Breyers though. Breyers is bullsh*t.)
5. Reggae — love it or leave it?
I love it for about three hours if it’s sunny and I’m drinking a Corona and wearing shorts and a tank top, but after that I’m asking the DJ to please play something else. I’m done pretending I’m in a Shaggy video.
~ recommendations on fancy ice cream and life ~
I went to a frou-frou ice cream place last weekend for birthday ice cream, and I appreciated their attention to detail with all organic everything, but you have to test every single flavor you’re considering when you go to a place like that. You don’t just jump in and get the mint and then be shocked when it actually tastes like real mint (like El Hub did, haha).
I checked all the flavors. I did my due diligence. ??
So test, test, test! test all those flavors, girl — even if you’re holding up the line and people are behind you tapping their foot.
Your friendly neighborhood appeal addict,
