Weekly Obsession!

OMG WEEKLY OBSESSIONS ARE BACK!!!!!  I love doing this series because I'm ALWAYS discovering new things so I figured why not share it with all of you.  We can be obsessed together!  Today's weekly obsession....invisibobble!!!  I know I'm totally late to the game.  If you don't know what these are they are a hair tie that doesn't pull or leave marks in hair.  I have really thick hair so I was SURE these wouldn't hold my hair at all.  My friend made me try it and I was so shocked!!  My hair was damp so I put in a bun and IT STAYED!!!!  You guys need to try them especially if you have thick hair.  You can buy them anywhere but I picked mine up from Ulta.  There are multiple colors as well.  The only negative is they cost $9 for a set of 3.  What are you guys loving right now?

I'M BACK!!!

It feels SO good to be writing this!  I AM BACK!!!!!  I haven't posted in almost a year but I finally feel ready.  I really just needed time to figure everything out.  Don't worry I'll tell you guys all about it soon.  This is mostly just an announcement post but I have LOTS of content and ideas coming.  I should probably tell you what to look forward to since I've been away for FOREVER.  We'll be talking about music, fashion, makeup, food, and so much more!  My first "official" post will be a 50 question get to know me.  It will going up on Monday.  I plan on posting 2-3 times a week.  I don't want to put too much pressure on myself.  If you have anything you want me to post about then you can email me or tweet me.  I'm always open to suggestions!  I'm really excited to start this new adventure and be blogging again!

My 2018 Reading List

Every new year I always set one goal that I want to accomplish.  My goal is that I want to read 12 books within the year.  Seems simple right?  It's only a book a month!  By the end of the year I'm nowhere near my goal.  Last year I only read ONE BOOK!!!!!  This year I've decided to try a new strategy.  The hardest part for me is committing to the book I want to read.  So I wrote down all 12 months and picked a book for each one.  It could still change depending on what books are coming out this year.  I decided that I wanted to share my list with you all so you could follow along if you wanted.  Should we start a book club?  Let me know!  What books are you reading this year?

Weekly Obsession

I promise that I'm back with these posts!  They are my favorite because I love sharing things that I've been loving.  I am constantly discovering new stuff that I'm obsessed with.  My weekly obsession is.....Oreo candy bars!!!!!  You guys I can't even tell you how obsessed I am with these!!!!!  One of my friends let me try one a few months ago and I've been hooked ever since.  I always have at least 5 in my fridge at all times.  Honestly, I don't even share them with anybody.  It's basically a deconstructed Oreo turned into candy bar form.  It's really hard to explain but trust me just try it.  It will change your life!!!  What have you been obsessed with?

Weekly Obsession

I'm back!!!!!!  Things have finally calmed down so I can get back to posting more.  I've really missed sharing what I've been obsessing over.  So that is where I'm going to begin!  My weekly obsession is....German Chocolate Bars.  The brand Choceur is my favorite by far though.  A friend bought me a pack and it's already gone!  I literally got it on Monday.  They taste like fancy kit kats which I'm totally fine with.  They are also individually wrapped which I love.  I'm pretty sure you can buy these at Whole Foods.  I need to buy like 20 more packs!  I highly recommend it!!!  What are you loving?

Weekly Obsession!

Sorry I took a break again!  I'm back now I promise!  I love sharing my obsessions with you so don't worry.  My weekly obsession is........Yes To Coconut Ultra Hydrating Facial Mask!!!!!!!!  When I have a stressful week I love to pamper myself.  This is perfect for that!  I just started getting into skin care and I can't get enough.  Before applying this I used a facial scrub to remove any dirt or dead skin.  This mask really makes your skin feel extremely smooth.  It's very affordable as well which is always nice.  I love pretty much anything coconut currently so I knew I would love this.  My skin still feels soft after 4 days.  It's amazing!!!!  Tell me some masks you love and maybe I'll try them.

My November Playlist!

There is only 25 days until Christmas!!!!!!!!  This always my favorite time of year!  This month seemed pretty boring.  Not much really happened but it's about to get exciting.  I'll be posting a lot of holiday posts so get excited!  If you missed my October playlist then check it out.  I'm still obsessed with it.  This month I didn't really discover any new music.  I was in a 90's/2000's mood so be prepared for a throwback.  There is some new music though.  What are you guys listening to?

Weekly Obsession!

I'm SO glad that I have been keeping up with these posts.  Be prepared though because once the holidays happen most of my obsessions will probably be food related.  I'm very excited for my obsession this week.  My weekly obsession is......Beauty And The Beast!!!!!!!  This is honestly one of my favorite Disney films.  I watched it all the time as a kid.  When I heard they were going to make it into a live action version I just couldn't picture it.  Then when Emma Watson was cast as Belle I was SO upset!  She looks nothing like Belle!!!!  At that point I decided I wasn't going to see the film.  Then the trailer was released and I lost my mind!  It looks AMAZING!!!!  They really stayed true to the original film which made me very happy.  Emma Watson was really transformed and beast looked fantastic!  I'll leave the trailer below.  It comes out in March and I can't wait!!!!  Fun fact: My mom and I are actually going to see the play in May or June so will definitely let you guys know how it is.  What are you currently loving?  Let me know!

Weekly Obsession!

It's been a crazy busy day today which is why this post is late.  I didn't forget though!  My weekly obsession is.....Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray!!!!!!!  First of all I LOVE this brand.  I own a couple of their other products and they are fantastic.  I bought this spray in summer and never got a chance to use it.  Now that I cut my hair I use it pretty much daily.  You can put on wet or dry hair which is perfect.  It really does make your hair look like you spent the day in the ocean.  It also smells SO good!  It's a really affordable product.  I paid $6 which is what other products in this brand are as well.  You won't regret checking this out!!!  What are you loving?

Weekly Obsession!

Happy Wednesday!!!  This week has been going so fast!  I promised you I would be back with more obsessions.  It's a little different then usual.  My weekly obsession is... PeruseProject!!!!!!!!  You probably have no idea what that is.  It's a Youtube channel by a girl named Regan who talks all about books.  I discovered her maybe 2 weeks ago and I can't stop watching!  I LOVE to read and she makes you want to read books that you didn't even know you wanted to.  I love all her recommendations. She is a little bit quirky which I really enjoy.  She honestly reminds me of myself.  Go check her out!  What are you guys loving?

Weekly Obsession!

I have missed sharing all my current obsessions with you guys!!!!!  I promise I'm back for good though!  My weekly obsession is.........braided hair ties!!!  I was looking for hair ties that didn't have the metal piece.  The problem is that I have SUPER thick hair so most of them just slide right out.  While scrolling on Ulta I discovered these.  All the reviews said they were great for thick hair so I bought them.  OMG I can't get enough!!!  I bought the neon ones and have the pastel and black one currently in my cart.  I need them all!  The only downfall is only 6 come in a pack and I need like 50!  I guess I'll just have to buy more ;).  What have you guys been loving?  Let me know!

My August Playlist!

Is August really over???  This year is going SUPER fast!  I'm actually happy this month is over because I'm finally having oral surgery.  That means I won't be in pain anymore and I'll be back to posting more often.  This month my mom and I went to see The Beach Boys in concert and it was so much fun.  You'll definitely see that reflected in this playlist.  It's a mixture of new and old songs.  Hopefully you guys will enjoy it.  I'm still loving my July playlist so make sure you check it out.  What songs are you guys loving?


1. Too Good by Drake Feat. Rihanna
Favorite lyric: Yeah and last night I think I lost my patience Last night I got high as your expectations Last night I came to a realization And I hope you can take it I hope you can take it
I'm too good to you I'm way too good to you You take my love for granted I just don't understand it

2. Closer by The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey
Favorite lyric: I know it breaks your heart Moved to the city in a broke down car And four years, no call Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar And I, I, I, I, I can't stop No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop So baby pull me closer in the back seat of your Rover That I know you can't afford Bite that tattoo on your shoulder Pull the sheets right off the corner Of that mattress that you stole From your roommate back in Boulder We ain't ever getting older

3. The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
Favorite lyric: Hey, don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on Just try your best, try everything you can And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away It just takes some time Little girl you're in the middle of the ride Everything everything will be just fine Everything everything will be alright alright

4. Kokomo by The Beach Boys
Favorite lyric: Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego, baby why don't we go Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow That's where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo

5. My Girl by The Temptations
Favorite lyric: I've got sunshine on a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

6. I Hate U, I Love U by Gnash feat. Olivia
Favorite lyric: I hate you, I love you, I hate that I love you Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you I hate you, I love you, I hate that I want you You want her, you need her And I'll never be her

7. Gold by Kiiara
Favorite lyric: And if you love me, love me but you never let me go When the roof was on fire, you never let me know Say you're sorry honey, but you never really show And I could leave the party without ever letting you know Without ever letting you know

8. Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado feat. Timberland
Favorite lyric: Roses are red Some diamonds are blue Chivalry is dead But you're still kinda cute Hey! I can't keep my mind off you Where you at, do you mind if I come through

9. Then He Kissed Me by The Crystals
Favorite lyric: Kissed me in a way I've never been kissed before He kissed me in a way I wanna be kissed forevermore

10. Starving by Hailee Steinfeld feat. Zedd
Favorite lyric: I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you Don't need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo By the way, by the way, you do things to my body I didn't know that I was starving 'til I tasted you

Weekly Obsession!

It's been FOREVER since I've shared an obsession!  I promise I'll be back to normal.  My weekly obsession is........Best Fiends!!!  I've seen pretty much everybody on YouTube promoting this game.  After hearing about it SO much I decided to check it out.  I'm OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!!  I play it for at least 2 hours every day.  Basically you have different bugs that are certain colors.  Also each bug has a special quality.  You match the colors to attack the slugs.  It's really hard to explain but trust me it's addicting.  Go check it out!  What are you guys loving?  Let me know!!

Weekly Obsession!

It's been awhile since I've shared an obsession.  Don't worry I'm back!  My weekly obsession is...Watermelon Lemonade body spray!!  To be honest I've been loving the entire range from Bath and Body Works.  I was drawn in by the packaging because it's super girly and cute.  Also I wanted a nice summer smell.  I immediately purchased the soap, spray, and lotion without even smelling it.  I'm SO glad I did!  It's obviously fruity but also refreshing.  It isn't super sweet which is nice.  I just can't get enough!!!  What are you loving?

Weekly Obsession!

I have been loving SO many things lately.  It was hard to choose just one!  My weekly obsession is... Papa's Bakeria!!!!!!  Since I have been sick I haven't really been doing much.  I love playing video games so this was the perfect opportunity.  This game is just SO addicting!  Basically people come and order a pie then you make it.  You even decorate it.  They also have a cupcake one, a donut one, and a pizza one.  They are all just as fun.  You can play them right here.  What have you been loving?

Weekly Obsession!

Can a gift be an obsession?  Well it is this week!  My weekly obsession is....Godiva Strawberry Cheesecake Truffles!!  I'm obsessed with Godiva chocolate already to be honest.  One of my friends brought me these on Valentine's Day as a surprise.  I was instantly guilty because I'm not a strawberry fan.  I tried one anyway and I'm SO glad I did!!  It tastes nothing like strawberry.  It's very creamy and rich and SO delicious!  I want like 12 more bags.  PS if you put them in the freezer it's on a whole different level!!!  I must get more!  What have you been loving?

Weekly Obsession!!!!!!

I haven't shared an obsession is a while.  Today is a bonus because it's actually two combined into one.  My weekly obsession is........ The Kitchen!!!!!!  To be honest I'm just obsessed with the Food Network.  That's the bonus but I picked The Kitchen because I watch it pretty much daily.  If you've never heard about it, basically it's a talk show and cooking show all in one.  They give you tips and share simple recipes.  Also, the hosts are great!  It's great chemistry and they are SO funny together.  New episodes air Saturday mornings but you can usually catch it on in the afternoon during weekdays.  Go check it out because you'll love it!!!  What have you been loving?

Weekly Obsession!

I love TV!  I probably watch WAY more than I should honestly.  I'm fine with it though!  My weekly obsession is.......Younger!!!!!  I am addicted to this show and I'm SO happy it's back on.  If you've never seen it then you must catch up!  It's about a woman in her 40's who hasn't worked in 15 years.  When she tries to get back in publishing nobody will hire her because of her age.  So she pretends to be 26 instead.  It's actually really good and super funny.  Season 2 just started and it has not disappointed.  My mom and I watch it together every week.  Trust me you'll love it!  What TV show are you loving?

Weekly Obsession!

I've made a life changing discovery.  My weekly obsession is.... Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun!!!!!  Even though it's -12 outside I can't stop eating this ice cream.  It is SOOOO AMAZING!!!!  I love cinnamon rolls as well as ice cream so combining them is genius.  There are chunks of cinnamon roll all over plus there is a swirl of icing throughout.  OMG I just can't get enough!  You must try it out!  You won't regret it!!!!!  What's your favorite flavor?

Weekly Obsession!

I haven't done a weekly obsession in awhile.  Sadly today's isn't very exciting.  My weekly obsession is.....Tomato soup!!!!!  If you didn't know I've been sick lately.  I just haven't even been that hungry.  Soup will make you feel instantly better.  These on the go soups are the best!  You can buy any flavor you want too.  It's perfect even if you aren't sick.  It's just been SO cold that this will help keep you warm.  What's your obsession?
