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?

Life Update: Did I Quit Blogging?

Have you guys missed me???  I've missed my blog SO much!!!!  I have just been extremely busy so I thought do a little update to let you all know where I've been and what I have been up to.  The biggest thing is my little sister got engaged on Christmas Eve!  I actually knew and it was very hard to keep it a secret.  As the Maid Of Honor, I've been going dress shopping, organizing all the showers, and of the bachelorette party.  On top of all that, I got an invitation to my 10 year high school reunion.  How has it been 10 years????  This year is full of other weddings as well.  I'm also in the process of getting a new wheelchair as well.  It's much more time consuming than I thought!  I'm pretty much gone every weekend which is why I haven't posted much.  I've been pretty active on Instagram so be sure to follow me to see all the craziness!  On Saturday, I turn 28 and I am feeling very overwhelmed!  I'm sure be doing a post all about that.  The point is I wanted to let you guys know that I'm officially back!  Let me know what you would like to see!  It can be fashion, books, beauty, or pretty much anything.  You can leave me a comment or shoot me an email with your requests!

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?

My 2017 Goals

Happy 2017 everybody!!!!!!  I'm honestly really excited for the new year because 2016 sucked.  I had THE worst year and I'm not exaggerating.  I was in the hospital, broke my knee, and had tooth surgery.  Those are just the highlights.  For the last few years I set goals for the new year.  I didn't really do so well last year but I'm going to try harder.  If you want to see what my 2016 goals were click here.  What are your goals?

Read 12 books: One book a month shouldn't be too hard since I joined a blogger book club.  You can join too if you would like.

Blog 3-5 times a day: I want to really share more with you guys.  If you have any ideas then let me know.

Worry less: I have bad anxiety so I really want to work on that this year.

Watch more movies: I didn't really watch many movies because I was so sick.  I love movies!

Be more social: I am a pretty shy person so I want to get out more and socialize.

Work with more brands:  Now that I redid my blog I hope more opportunities will come my way.

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.

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 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?
