Game of Fives

Happy Survey Sunday! Survey Sunday is easily one of my favorite weekly fitnessandfroyo traditions, as hard as it can be to find new surveys each week. But I found this one through a quick search of Julie's blog, and I couldn't help but give it a go.

Enjoy, and may you learn something new about the girl behind the blog.

Five Places I’m Dying to Visit

• Alaska – Ever since I saw The Proposal, I’m eagerly anticipating a trip to a state where summertime daylight rarely ends.
• Italy – I’ve got some Italian in me, and everything I’ve seen and read about Italy just seems so picturesque.

• Peru – Machu Picchu is calling my name.
• Pacific Northwest – When I’m 25 and can rent a car, I would love to spend a few weeks driving through Yosemite, up through Oregon and Washington, and over to Montana and Idaho.
• Chile – My trip to Argentina developed a love in me for all things South America. My uncle has spent some time in the country, and everything I’ve heard of it has been nothing short of amazing.

Five Foods I Eat Every Day

• Eggs, or egg whites

• Chocolate
• Cooked oats
• Pickles (seriously)
• Yogurt

Five Talents I Wish I Had

• Calligraphy - Perhaps I can find a class to take?
• Dancing

My attempt at learning to tango

• Singing, or anything musical
• Photography
• Tennis (more on this to come)

I may not have many tennis skills, but I've got the tennis skirt down

Five Healthy Food Bloggers I Wish Would Cook For Me Every Day

• Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers
• Monica from Run Eat Repeat
• Gina from SkinnyTaste
• Katie from Chocolate Covered Katie
• Gina from Fitnessista

Five Instagram Accounts I Love

• Anthropologie – So aesthetically pleasing.
• 365ThingsAustin – Nostalgia for one incredible city.
• BakerByNature – Serious baking goals.
• RachMansfield – Everyone’s favorite sweet treats turned healthy.
• Betches – Wildly inappropriate most of the time, but wickedly funny.

Five Things I Wear (Almost) Every Day

• Tennis shoes

The only shoes I wore in Argentina

• Grandma slippers
• Padded running socks – Thorlo and Lululemon are my favorites.
• Headband – Typically Lululemon, but I don’t discriminate.

• Shark Watch – I’ve got quite the impressive watch tan line. While I usually trade in the sports watch in favor of a more … “professional” watch that I wear to school, I don’t think I took this watch off one time while in Argentina. It was a permanent fixture.

Five Songs I Listen To On Repeat

• In Your Arms by Nico & Vinz
• Moving Forward by Colony House
• North Carolina by Little Chief
• Work From Home by Fifth Harmony
• Work This Body by Walk the Moon

Five Beauty Products I Use Every Day

• EOS Lip Balm – I put this stuff on obsessively. And it comes in so many fun flavors. All of which I have probably tried.
• Dermablend Powder – Smooth coverage, definitely not cakey, and gets the job done.
• Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser – Okay, I might be guilty of skipping a day or two or three here and there, but this random find is my favorite of any face wash I’ve ever tried.

But this face mask was fun to do

• Benefit They’re Real! Mascara – Mascara and eyeshadow is about as much make-up as I will apply on a regular basis, and now that I’ve tried this particular product, there’s no going back to drugstore mascara.
• Marc Jacobs' "Daisy" Perfume - A sweet-smelling fragrance that works for any occasion.

Five Movies I Can Watch On Repeat

• Harry Potter (All you have to do is say “marathon weekend” and I know what my weekend plans are.)
• She’s the Man
• Mean Girls
• Remember the Titans
• The Breakfast Club

Five Books On My Current Reading List

• The Shining by Stephen King
• 1984 by George Orwell
• Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
• Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
• The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison

And I'll do all of my reading here, thanks

Five Random Things I Ate Yesterday

• Nothin’ But Granola Cookies
• Watermelon (I can’t get enough these days!)
• Garden Sammie + Chicken from Local Foods (This is two days in a row, people)
• Orchard Valley Harvest Dark Chocolate Blueberries
• Grapes

And with that, I'm off to get in my final long run before next weekend's trail race. My first, and I'm starting with 13 miles in the middle of a Texas July. Call me crazy, and be on the lookout for a recipe post (or two!) as well as a product review coming in the very near future.
