I always love a good survey. Especially when it gives you some extra insights into someone that you already love following!
Ever since Julie originally posted this survey a few weeks ago, I’ve had it in my editorial calendar to put together. So I figured, hey, today is as good a day as any other, right?!
So here we go, and Happy Tuesday!
Five: A Random Blog Survey
Five Places I’m Dying to Visit
Ireland – Jay would also love to go here some day, and I think it would just make for such an amazing trip
Hawaii – Because…Hawaii. Kona coffee, anyone??!
Italy – Ahhhh, how I would looooove to wander the streets of Italy, dining on all sorts of amazingly delicious meals and treats and exploring the breathtaking views I’ve only been able to see via images online.
The Valentin Imperial Maya, Mexico – Taaaaake. Meeee. Baaaaack. You can read more about the resort HERE and HERE, but we’ve visited twice and talk weekly about how we’re ready to go back. They were some of the best vacations on my life, but I’m sure that’s mostly due to the fact that we were in such good company.
Man, how I want to be tan again…!
Australia – I won’t lie, the thought of the flight/travel involved to get there is a bit intimidating (not a huge fan of flying), but if I were given the opportunity, I’d absolutely take it. I hear it’s just beautiful, and I have a few coworkers from there who are just so nice!
Five Foods I Eat Every Day
We’ll say this is lately…because my habits change all the time and this definitely isn’t always the norm!
Greek yogurt
Chocolate, in some form or another
Salads
Peanut Butter
Graham Crackers…or we can just say carbs here, too.
Five Talents I Wish I Had
Singing (poor Lucas, he gets the brunt of it)
Photography
Whatever talent my husband has to be able to DIY just about anything I ask him to…
Website Coding (this could save me a LOT of time and money, for sure!)
Graphic Design (I’ve been dying to redesign my blog header buuuut, I don’t trust myself)
Five Healthy Food Bloggers I Wish Would Cook For Me Every Day
Kristin from Iowa Girl Eats
Lee from Fit Foodie Finds

Five Instagram Accounts I Love
Targetstyle – They make me want to spend more of my money every. single. day.
HilariousBabies – It seriously is SO funny!
CatherineGiudici – Because I’m still obsessed with her and Sean…
Tank.Sinatra – I have Julie to thank for this one. So many LOL’s.
tholiverhudson – Oh Oliver, you are too funny.

“Love Song” by 311 (our wedding song!)

Five Beauty Products I Use Every Day
Kenra Volume Spray 25 (I’ve used many hairsprays in my day, but this one has been topping the chart for a while now)
NARS Bronzing Powder in Laguna
Olay Complete for Sensitive Skin (I’ve been using this for years – can’t beat moisturizer and SPF in one!)
Cover Girl LashBlast Volume Mascara in Very Black
Makeup Forever Ultra HD Concealer in #340
Five Movies I Can Watch On Repeat

Ace Ventura Pet Detective (pretty sure my brother and I can quote this entire movie…)
Ocean’s 11 (actually, all of the Ocean’s movies for that matter)
Pitch Perfect
Elf
Five Books On My Current Reading List
Oh Crap! Potty Training: Everything Modern Parents Need to Know to Do It Once and Do It Right – I’m honestly in no rush to get this going, but I know we’ve got to start soon because I don’t want to tackle it with a newborn in the house!
The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks – I borrowed this from my mom months ago but haven’t gotten very far (aka, past the first page)
Sadly, I don’t really have much bigger of a reading list right now…finding time is tough! But…do these count? Because I read all of these at least 1-2 times a day.
Five Random Things I Ate Yesterday
Big bowl of blueberries
Love Grown Foods Hot Oats with extra peanut butter
Leftover salad from Sunday’s dinner for lunch
A couple bites of my favorite chicken salad that I put together last night to have for the week!
Brynn says
I’ve traveled to all of those locations other than Australia, which is high on my list! Jessica and Gina can cook for me any day. And thank you (I think) for the Target Instagram suggestion.
Rachel Schlosser says
My 5 places I want to travel and 5 things I wear every day look alot like your lists.
5 places: Back to Italy, Australia, Hawaii, Norway, and England
5 things I wear: wedding and engagement ring, fossil watch, small silver band on my right hand, tardis slippers, and yoga pants when I get home from work.
Jennifer says
Haha! You’re such a mom with your reading list being that of children’s books (I can relate). I did this survey awhile back too. I love your Fossil watch, I have the same one ;)
Heather @fitncookies says
I love reading these! Five things I wear every day.. yoga pants or leggings. wedding rings.. fuzzy socks.. foundation, and a nursing bra, haha! So many people said Love Actually for movies. I am not that huge of a fan of that one! I must be so odd lol
Ashley says
I completely agree with that Don Omar song taking me back to Mexico – it was on everywhere, good times! Also love Downtown and Uptown Funk still as well!
Taylor says
What a fun survey! 5 places I’m dying to visit: Hawaii (possibly going this year), London (going in a month!!), Australia, Thailand, and Bali
Jenna @Crazy Healthy Fit says
Hawaii (Maui in particular) is amazeballs. Italy – I’d recommend hitting up the Amalfi Coast (my favvvv), and I REALLY want to go to Australia as well! Loved the travel portion of this post – really makes me want to travel now.
Melissa says
This survey is also on my editorial calendar. We’ll see if I ever get around to publishing it.
I also want to go to Australia but would dread the jet lag/travel time.
Jessie Deschane says
I highly highly highly highly recommend Ireland! I went there last September and it was amazing. I’m definitely going back at least one more time – if not more! And funny you say Hawaii, because I booked a trip there for April! Thankfully my best friend is currently stationed there with her boyfriend, so I don’t have to pay for lodging. I found a great price on airline tickets, so I figured WHY NOT! :)
Rachel @ Lou Lou Belle says
The Best of Me is a good read! Nothing note worthy to take away except just enjoying the reading time ;)
Shawna says
i’m with you on Pitch Perfect, salads on the regular, and i use the same moisturizer and love it. 5 places i really want to go (b/c i can never pass up a chance to comment on travel): Italy, Greek Islands, Bora Bora, Maldives, Croatia. i’m going to Maui next week and Hawaii is my absolute fave place i HAVE been, so i would say get there if you can — it’s Heaven! and Kona coffee in Kona really is as good as you’d hope. :)
