by The makeup and charm blog Monday Poll for February 24, 2014
Misschien vraag je je af: “Dus wat is het in HECK zo nu?”? ”
Nou, het is niet veel van een peiling. Het is veel meer gewoon een voortdurend evoluerend (tocht?), Enigszins willekeurige lijst met vragen die ik de afgelopen zeven jaar elke maandagochtend aan lezers heb gemaakt. Ik ben altijd blij met het lezen van je antwoorden in de opmerkingen, en ik hoop dat je geniet van het lezen van de mijne.
Have you ever made pasta from scratch?
I helped someone do it once. Telt dat? I fed the pasta dough through a kitchen aid with the pasta attachment.
(Of course, I completely ruined the dough. It was the most un-aesthetically pleasing pasta humankind has ever seen…but it was still edible! )
What’s your everyday outlook on earrings? What do you wear many of the time?
For everyday wear, studs, and I alternate among pearl, diamond and rose gold.
I also love chandeliers, but only on occasion, and they can’t be too heavy, too loud (like wind chimes) or be too tempting for Tabs…since he will swat at them.
Do any of your lifelong or very close pals live in a country other than yours?
Just you guys. I’m pretty lucky to have many of my lifelong pals nearby here in the Bay Area, all within a two-hour drive.
Have you ever had to shave someone’s back?
Ja! and it was…an experience.
Like shaving a shaggy Muppet.
When makeup colors do you many typically wear when you do smokey eyes?
Most of the time, bronze, warm browns and golds, but I also like gunmetal grays, deep blues and purples.
Smokey eyes are my favorites! I could seriously wear them every single day.
What’s one thing you love about your neighborhood?
The birds are such fantastic musicians. We have some three-hundred-year-old heritage oak trees on the hill we live on, and they offer the ideal venue for the songbirds in the area (lots of finches). There’s always something singing or chirping in the trees.

When do you typically have the most energy during the day?
Mornings, pretty much around this time of day, 2-3 hours after I get up and have been sufficiently caffeinated.
I’ve gotta get some breakfast and coffee in my tummy first. then I (usually) feel ready to conquer the world.
When was the last time you wore false lashes?
On date night with El Hub last Friday. I wore these beautiful Lolita lashes by Katy Perry.

They’re very comfy and still look fairly natural, but with a kick!
Do you ever have your tea in a cup with a saucer (fancy!)?
Mocht ik willen. I typically just get the closest clean mug in the dish rack, but having tea in a fancy cup and saucer takes it to the next level.
Beauty is (among numerous things)…
…appreciating all the small, seemingly mundane day-to-day things and realizing their magical potential
…the way Tabs looks into my eyes and blinks slowly when he’s sitting on my lap
…the smell of El Hub’s cheeks when he’s freshly shaven
…burying my face in a warm armful of laundry best when it comes out of the dryer

G’morning, babe. sending you a sunshiny hi from northern California (Marin County, to be exact).
I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Mine was good but way too short.
I ran some errands, made a couple meals (including this improv kale, sun dried tomato and shrimp pasta dish, which turned out OK) and purchased an unsightly black metal filing cabinet, which I’ve already nicknamed THE filing cabinet OF DOOM.
Thrilling stuff!
OK, maybe not…
