Makeup as well as beauty blog Monday Poll, Vol. 602

keep looking up (because at a specific point, it’s scarier to look down, LOL! That rope was high!)

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with bit clicky buttons. It’s just a listing of five more or less random concerns I’ve been publishing on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I like reading your answers, as well as it assists me get my week off to a great start.

1. What’s your preferred Thanksgiving side dish?

Oh, simple question. all of them? I might happily nosh solely on the fixin’s as well as straight-up avoid the turkey.

But if I have to pick one…it’s mashed potatoes.

Buttery, creamy, silky mashed potatoes with an obnoxious amount of gravy!

2. What time did you get up this morning?

According to my unholy jack@ss of an alarm clock, it was 5:45, however PGR (Pretty woman Rosie) believed it would be fun to climb onto my head as well as turn on her purr machine at 5, so I’ve been up since 5.

Does anyone else online with a furry buddy who gets up at obnoxious hours?

3. select a lipstick color: orange or brown?

Brown! — however not as well brown. A pinkish brown would be ideal.

4. Something you requirement to surface by the end of the day?

YARGH, I requirement to pack for a trip. We’re heading to Hawaii tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving week with El Hub’s side of the family.

Purr usual, I’ve left the packing as much as the last day, however I’m determined to have whatever done by noon… That method I’m not stressed out as well as throwing random crap into my luggage at the last minute.

5. Who’s the very best cook in your family?

In my prolonged family, hmm… Well, most likely my godmother. She lives in the Philippines, as well as homegirl can throw down in the kitchen. Her oxtail soup moves me to tears, no joke! In my instant family, most likely me as well as my brother. We can both comply with a recipe, as well as we both have a general comprehending of the timing as well as components in a dish.

San Francisco Spartan adventures

The Spartan race in SF on Saturday was BONKERS, as well as I mean that in the very best possible way. It was truly fun, challenging, as well as I may just do one again.

I suggest it 100% if you ever get a possibility as well as the urge. The one I did was in Oracle Park stadium in SF, however they have them in neat places around the country.

In situation you have no concept what I’m taking about, Spartans are group running races with extra challenges peppered along the course. The one I did was a “Stadion Sprint,” which was three miles interspersed with 20 obstacles, as well as since it was in a stadium, there was great deals of going up as well as down stairs, which I’m okay with (I don’t mind doing stairs), however there were numerous dicey moments when I was truly high up in the nosebleed seats, as well as I keep in mind believing to myself, “Karen, please don’t fall. It’s a long method down.”

The most difficult parts for me were the challenges including heights. I’m not afraid of heights per se…but the challenges with a height aspect were extremely much off the ground. like the rope climb, OMG! I made it to the top as well as rang the cowbell, however as I was inching my method up, I keep in mind looking down as well as thinking, “Geez, I’m further from the ground than I am from the top, so I should most likely just keep going up before something horrible happens.”

I believe it was 12 feet up? Whatever it was, IT WAS HIGH.

Also, hoisting myself up as well as over the challenges with high wooden walls was challenging. I believe the greatest one was eight feet off the ground.

I believe those walls are why I keep discovering these weird bruises on my arms…

Oh, as well as that pyramid thingy with the ropes! That was likewise surprisingly nerve-wracking, once again since of the height element.

Overall, it was a fun day, as well as if you ever have the possibility as well as any type of inkling of desire, I would extremely suggest it, particularly if you can do one with a team. I did it with a lot of people from the gym, as well as all of us applauded each other on.

Have a fantastic rest of your day!
