Things I am Currently Fully Obsessed With

There are always at least 3-5 things I am obsessed with at any given time...and (un)fortunately for my dear friends and family they are subjected to me talking about all my obsessions all the time. But now I'm brining my obsessions to the masses with my latest post! Warning: If you're a dude you will most likely not like any of my obsessions.

1. John Frieda Full Repair shampoo and conditioner. In the past year I've noticed that my hair has dramatically changed. My roots are constantly feeling greasy and my ends are fried and all this after giving up coloring and flat ironing my hair. I thought I'd never find a product to fix this problem until a recent trip to CVS. For just $6 a bottle you are getting an amazing smelling product that leaves your hair weightless, frizz free, and very soft. Hands down, I love this product!

2. Toasted almond iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts. Now that summer has arrived in March (thank you Global Warming! I'll take it!), it's time for flip flops, sun dresses, and the best accessory of the season...iced coffee. My friend, Nicole, wanted to head to DD to try the new turtle iced coffee (she highly recommends this one) and I settled on toasted almond with cream and 3 splendas. It's like a slightly-bad-for-you snack and totally worth it. If you like almonds you will love these.

3. Speaking of almonds...we're at my #3 obession - Trader Joe's Creamy Almond Butter w/ Sea Salt. I'm always looking for ways to switch up my lunch and this week, as I'm prepping for my vacation to Mexico next week, I've been eating chicken slices from the deli and sliced gala apples with almond butter. If you're a fan of peanut butter you will love this product. It's perfectly salty and just sweet enough that you'll want to put it on everything and eat it straight from the jar. Funny story...I'm sitting down to enjoy my apples and almond butter this morning and I come across an article from US Weekly. It says "Leo DiCaprio's supermodel gf says almond butter is making her fat". Even after reading how she thinks eating almond butter and apples is making her fat, I still happily dipped my apple into my jar and smothered the whole thing...it's just that good.

4. Skirts from Forever21. Yes, another post about Forever21. When they stop making cute and amazing adorable things at just $14 then I will stop writing about them. Until then...you're welcome. So not to stress again how I'm going on vacation next week (Mexico...did I mention that?), but I needed some new things for the trip. XX1 is rocking it this season with awesome skirts which you can dress up and dress down. I'm glad to see that a style for the upcoming season is skirts that hit your knee and don't hug your tush line. I tried on a few and while I loved almost all of them, I knew I could only buy one. I chose the one pictured here because I love how versitile it is. Just remember my tip about shopping at XX1 - block off an hour, go room by room, and keep what you're looking for in mind. Stick with one theme, whether is be city chic or bohemian or work attire...keep your ADD in check and happy shopping!


To close, I know I'm late on getting a post up about what I did to decorate my dining room. I'm going to take pics tonight and hopefully have something by tomorrow. And the frame collage has now been moved into the living room so we're transitioning pictures in and out of the whole idea...that's going to take some more time but I hope to have it wrapped up in the next month!
