Hi friends!
Ok, confession time. I’m kind of pooped. Like brain pooped. And I guess a little tired pooped too. But happy pooped! Ok, now I’m just messing with you to see how many times I can write “pooped” in a blog post. Ok, done.
Anyway what I was really trying to say is that rather than get deep (like last week) I want to keep things fast and fun. AND I want to hear from you so we’re going to play a game called 3 questions (I just made that up but now it’s a thing because I put it on the internet). They’re super random but that’s where we’re at right now.
I can’t wait to read your answers!
1.) City slicker or country kid?
Growing up on an Island I was desperate to escape and live in a big city. Now that I’ve lived in a couple I’m appreciating the beauty of being surrounded by nature. Sooo I really have no idea.
Breakfast: Overnight Oats with granola
2.) If you could only listen to 1 musician for the rest of your life who would it be?
Ellie Goulding – omg she’s seriously a goddess. She’s British, a badass, a runner and her music is my jam. And her new album comes out in a couple weeks so I’m pumped.
Lunch & Snacks: yogurt, nut butter, dried fruit & apple
3.) Favorite holiday dessert?
As you’ll learn in the coming weeks I’m kind of obsessed with gingerbread, prepare for gingerbread-pocalypse 2015….it’s coming
Dinner: Avocado & ricotta toasts
P.S. to everyone who bought the Blogger’s Guide to Instagram Photography so far, I seriously can’t thank you enough. I absolutely loved creating it and I’m so lucky to have your amazing support. I can’t wait to see your kick ass Insta’s blowing up my feed.
Your Turn:
1.) City or Country?
2.) The 1 musician you could listen to forever?
3.) Favorite Holiday Dessert?

I used to think I would want to live in NYC forever when I was a grown up, but now I AM one and I do miss nature and think the country will be for me eventually 🙂
It’s funny how if you’re in a city for a while and you go into nature you realize how much you miss it!
These are difficult questions…1) Suburban kid (ha), 2) T-Swift (yep), 3) Cinnamon things!
All excellent answers – also all cinnamon errythang
You’re Fage/granola is making my mouth water.. that would be a really good breakfast right about now.
But this is so fun!
1) I think I prefer the city, but not too big of a city and I need mountains close by.
2) I go through phases of music, but I grew up on the Allman Brothers so if I’m not sick of them by now it’s probably a good sign. Or The Head and The Heart.
3) Coconut cake! Coconut anything.
Loving Head and the Heart right now! Coconut makes everything amazing.
Mkay so why are we the same person?
1. I want to move to city sOoOo bad after graduation. Love Chicago.
2. Uhm I’M OBSESSED with Ellie Goulding. I’ve listened to Goodness Gracious at least 27 times in the last 3 days. Also, Taylor Swift. Can’t stop won’t stop with 1989.
3. Gingerbread cookies hellllooooo nothing is better
Yaaaas! Ellie on repeat. Also her music is just so good to run to. I’m so glad you’re on the gingerbread train
Country girl <3
I'll just pick a decade…70s music.
And…o…soft real gingerbread is amazing for sure! One this I miss so much is my grandmas soft gingerbread men should would always make (can't have them any more, haha), but that was like the best holiday dessert I've ever had…ever!
MMm those sound so good!
1) Both? I like a combination of the best of both worlds, if it’s possible? haha
2) Nick Jonas (still in love with the Jonas Brothers #noshame)
3) I can’t choose just one sooo… anything sweet!
Jonas Brothers 4 life
Viva la Joe bros!
I feel ya, I want to be near nature plus have all the perks of a city. Nick is a magical creature.
1) I’m a city girl through and through. Although I was raised in the suburbs, I developed such a deep appreciation for cities when I first visited NYC when I was 10. Since then, I’ve been hooked. Each city I travel to has its own personality and vibe. That’s probably why I go to college in a city; the land of opportunities!
2) Michael Jackson. Probably my biggest dance inspiration of all time, and such a musical genius too! He was taken from us WAY too soon.
3) My favorite holiday dessert is probably any sort of pie. GIVE ME ALL THE PIES. With vanilla ice cream on top, of course. 🙂
Yes, there’s nothing like the opportunities of a city. Oh and pie is the best.
1) Country. I grew up in a small town in Tennessee. I get reallllyyy sad when I don’t get my mountain fix. But, in all reality I want to be close enough to feel like I live in country but still have a decent amount of amenities. I’m kinda needy lol.
2)What a terrible life that would be! But, if forced Incubus maybe? A nice variation of music over the years.
3) PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE <3 If we're talking Christmas,… does homemade hot chocolate with whipped cream count?
Mmmm pumpkin cheesecake! 😉 Oh homemade hot chocolate totally counts
i am such a country girl, i live next to a farm at home! My all time fav singer is Billy Joel, an oldie but goodie and monkey bread which we have for breakfast on Christmas morning which is typically not a dessert but still amazing!
Mmm monkey bread! My family does a baked french toast which is basically dessert too 😉
1) City with some forest areas to explore nearby.
2) Oh goddddd this is hard. Maybe City and Colour. I’ve been in love with Dallas Green since I was like 10.
3) Ice cream. Ice cream is forever.
Haha yes. Always ice cream.
I was born and raised in Florida, so I love the beach and nature — but I would have to say CITY for now, because I’m a Bay Area girl. 🙂 And cheesecake for ANY holiday. Happy Wednesday, Georgie!
It’s funny I totally go through phases so I get that. Bay Area seems so fun!
1) CITY all the way but with easy access to nature (that’s why i love NYC and having my parents close!)
2) i don’t have one, it’s the most stressful questions for me to answer
3) MANDEL BREAD aka my Mom’s chocolate chip cookies, they’re a jewish biscotti and I dip them in almond milk and she always has them in the freezer for me when I am home (I love frozen cookies in milk)
xx
Ooo I have to try that! I’ve never heard of mandel bread. Also love your spot in NYC and love visiting <3
I have lived in the suburbs for 23 years. I absolutely love NYC and visiting big cities, and I love visiting rural areas (like where I am in Canada right now), but I don’t think I could live in NYC despite my love for it. I think it would just take some getting used to! John Mayer is my one musician, and my favorite holiday dessert issss um…. my moms bread pudding!
My feeling is cities are fun when you have money and the country can be fun even if you don’t… so as a semi broke 20 something the city can be a little depressing. lol
I grew up in the suburbs, but I ride horses and love country music, so I’m going to go with country on the first question! Musician is so hard… hmmm I think I’ll go with Luke Bryan. I really don’t have a favorite holiday dessert, my favorite dessert is ice cream and frozen yogurt!
Nice! Also, who doesn’t love some froyo!
This is a really cute post! I think now that I’m older and have children, I’d like us to live by the beach or in the mountains. I definitely need to be surrounded by nature and my kids really benefit from spending a lot of time outside.

Thanks Molly! Love the beach, nothing gives you more perspective than the beach or the mountains, plus there’s always fun things to do in nature
I loooooove Ellie Goulding. Such a good pick. I’ve never gotten sick of her and I definitely listen to her a lot haha. And I’m with on loving ginger bread. I might have to go track down some ginger snaps today…
Omg so glad you are a fellow Ellie lover! Halycon has been my soundtrack for the last couple years and has YET to get old.
Great, there I was thinking everything was literally fun and games – and then you’re picking such difficult-to-answer questions. Let’s try this as one of the world’s most indecisive people:
1) It’s hard because both have their advantages but the countryside wins.
2) I told you this was hard. James Blunt. Not as a person but I really notice over and over again how many of his songs I like. But yes, he’s not as charming as his songs …
3) Cinnamon parfait. The only time I don’t miss chocolate when it comes to dessert.
Haha I feel ya, I’m soo indecisive – love me some country side, it can really help clear the mind. Ooo cinnamon parfait sounds fantastic
1. that little girl nappping on the beach, have you seen the 4 part picture/meme/giff/whatever its called? (lol) it was my cover photo the month of finals, i know the feeling 😀 ;D (<< laugh because otherwise cry, lol)
2. GINGERBREAD. yes. all of it. i made some killer cookies and bread last year! cant wait for thanksgiving/winter break to go home & do it again!!
If you love gingerbread just get ready 😉 Also love that gif – I try to use it on the regular when I can 😉
I seriously need to buy a jar of molasses…
1) Suburbia (kinda). I LOVE living in the city but I also live in the most Suburban, yuppie part of the city. I just hate the tourists and homeless people that go with living in the city,
2) Kanye West (I’m a freak, I know)
3) Anything that involves ice cream. So… I guess seasonal flavored ice cream!
Mmm ginger/molasses ice creammmm or peppermint!
Your toast game is on point. Just saying.
1. City girl for sure. I need buildings and access to Trader Joe’s / Whole Foods. I’m high-maintenance.
2. Yonce all day
3. Christmas cookies of all kind! I love gingerbread, snickerdoodle, crescent cookies, almond roca cookies (my mom’s specialty). Just call me cookie monster.
Yeees Yonce! Oh and you bring up an excellent point. TJ’s is life so wherever I am it’s gotta be near.
