I’m starting my second tub of Pixi double Cleanse ($24 at Target) and my umpteenth bottle of Pixi glow Tonic ($15 at Target). They sure are great for the price!
So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s much more of a continuously evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always delighted in reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you delight in reading mine.
1. Madonna or Prince? (Sorry! I know it’s cruel, but you have to pick one.)
I love them both. They’re the soundtrack of my adolescent years, but because I have to pick one…today I’ll choose prince (I know, shocker, because I love Madge so much).
But I love dancing to Raspberry Beret, and I played it a lot last week.

2. Pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin pie?
El Hub will say this is sacrilege because he’s all about the pumpkin pie…but I could take it or leave it to be honest. I’m all about that #PSL life! especially when it’s made with coconut milk, YUM!
3. pick one (only one) to wear today: tinted moisturizer, a cushion compact, liquid foundation, stick foundation or powder foundation.
Ooh! — liquid foundation today because I’m testing Rihanna’s new FENTY charm one (Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation). It looks way much more natural than I expected.
Speaking of stick foundations, though, in some cases I’m impressed by the number of good flexible coverage ones out there that you can’t even feel on your skin, like hourglass Vanish and Tarte Clay Stick Foundation, both of which I adore and would be wearing today if it weren’t for testing something new.

4. have you ever shared a room with someone?
Yes, back in college. I had a roommate my freshman year in the dorms, and then for the first year when I moved off campus. and we haven’t kept in touch over the years.
I think I’m the kind of person who does better in her own space…although I have shared a room with El Hub for the last umpteen years, and we haven’t killed each other yet, ha!
Came preeeeety close a few times, though.
5. What was middle school like for you?
Dude, it was beyond awkward. I mean, did anybody have epic middle school years? because I didn’t. fifth and sixth grades were particularly awful.
I remember always being stressed out about who I was going to have lunch with and always being physically uncomfortable, too, because my body was changing rapidly and suddenly. I also really hated wearing a bra, because I was a total tomboy. I just wasn’t into it.
If sports bras had been available, I would’ve been A lot less ornery, for sure.
I also remember that none of my pants ever fit best because I started getting hips and a booty… When leggings became a thing (happened when I was in eighth grade), they seriously changed my life.
