A couple weeks ago, my friend Julie posted a “five” themed blog survey on her site and I thought it would be fun to mix it up today and play along with a similar variation. I’d love if you guys did the same – either in the comments or on your own blogs! Thanks to Julie for the idea – and for the graphic below. 🙂

Five: a Random Blog Survey!

Five Foods I Eat Every Day

Five Movies I Can Watch On Repeat

(Apparently I love holiday-themed movies…)

Top 5 Nutrition Mistakes Runners

Five Best Health Tips

  1. Get enough sleep
  2. Slow down while eating (see also: How to Eat Intuitively | A Guide to Mindful Eating)
  3. Add veggies to meals for added volume
  4. Make fitness fun (see also: How to Love Exercise (or at least not hate it))
  5. Put no foods off limits (you’ll want them more!) – but only indulge when it’s worth it – not just because something is there/you’re bored/stressed/whatever (see also: Because Being Healthy Means Not ALWAYS Being Healthy)

 

Five Things I Wear (Almost) Every Day

  • The greatest slippers ever
  • My wedding and engagement rings 🙂
  • This wrist watch (Christmas gift from my mom back in 2014 that I’ve been obsessed with ever since – love having a real watch so I’m not always looking at my phone for the time and then going down the rabbit hole of email/social media)
  • Lip balm
  • My Oakley Sunglasses

Five Beauty Products I Use Every Day

(For more of my faves, see this post: Favorite Natural and Organic Beauty Products)

  • Organic Island Deodorant with probiotics <— the only natural deodorant I’ve found that doesn’t suck
  • Josh Rosebrook Moisturizing Face Cleanser
  • Elsen Oils Coconut + Avocado Oil (great eye makeup remover and I use it as a face/body moisturizer too)
  • 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara
  • Desert Essence Natural Tea Tree Oil Toothpaste in Mint <—since I started using this my teeth/gums have improved drastically according to my dentist

Five Books I Want To Read (or Have Just Read/Am Reading)

  • Yes Please by Amy Poehler (reading this now and loving it – more poignant than funny, surprisingly)
  • I want to read everything written by Brene Brown
  • The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (I read this last month and it was AMAZING – could not put it down)
  • A House in the Sky: A Memoir by Amanda Lindhout
  • The Expatriates by Janice Lee

    I love surveys! My top 5 movies I could watch on repeat would be: Stepbrothers, Home Alone (I'm including both 1&2), Ace Ventura, The Sandlot (classic!), and Now and Then (hello Devon Sawa!). Five foods I eat everyday would be: oatmeal, avocado, greens, dark chocolate, and Justin's almond butter.

    Loved the Nightingale! I'm currently reading A Memory of Violets and it's awesome...I'm almost finished and am going to be very sad when it's over. Also, the lip balm comment reminded me of last week! Must have lip balm always! Haha :)

    This is fun! Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was such an incredible movie. I am revisiting your sugar article, because lately I cannot get chocolate off my brain! Five foods I eat/drink everyday: dark chocolate, eggs, peanut butter, unsweetened almond milk, & onions (almost- I put them in all my savory dishes!)
