My Personal Top 5

Do you have a Top 5 list? Like, the five things you loooooove... the ride-or-dies, the can't-live-withouts, the "don't even try to replace them"? I do. Mine's been locked in for a decade... though I did have to swap one out after realizing dairy and I are not friends. 

So here they are. My personal BIG 5, in no particular order:

1. A Morning Run on a Hot Summer Day 
There's just nothing better. I love coming home drenched, clear-minded, serotonin high. The hotter, the better. And always with a playlist in my ears. 

2. Ellie 
My 10-year old mini golden doodle pup. My security system, my boss, my heart. If you know, you know. 

3. Matcha 
This used to be chocolate almonds, but once I cut dairy, they got cut too. (Not gonna lie, my pants fit much better since). Now it's matcha, every single morning. Ritual, fuel, comfort. If I don't start my day with it, I'm off. 

4. Beyoncé
The queen. That's it. That's the sentence. 

5. Los Angeles
My happy place. Sunshine, palm trees. There's just something special about LA that feels like me; expensive, creative, clam and chaotic in all the right ways. 

What's your Top 5? If it doesn't include a dog, a queen, a ritual.. or a good sweat, maybe consider revising.
