It
has been a while since I’ve posted about random topics, most of my post as of
late have been catching up on events in my life. So here are a list of my current
top 10 obsessions (some of which are new obsessions others are old ones that
have just been revived).
1. Low Carb Strawberry Cheesecake.
After I finished writing a paper on Sunday I decided to reward myself with
something delicious, instead of driving to the closest Dairy Queen I decided
that I would make a cheesecake so I could enjoy it for several days. I have
basically ate nothing but Cheesecake since Sunday. I made it with splenda and
almond meal crust, so I really don’t feel that guilty about it!
2. Gelish nail polish. This is
a revived obsession, unfortunately I just don’t have enough time to get
manicures on the regular! I made time to get one for my birthday 3 weeks ago
and my nails still look great (no damaging acrylic either!).
3. Yoga and Heavy Bag Training
(translation: punching bag madness). I found a DVD at Target a while back that
had several beginner yoga routines, one of which was a night time wind down
routine. I have been doing it in the evenings off and on for the past 2 weeks
and I think it honestly has helped me sleep better. I also received a punching
bag and gloves for my birthday that we hung out in Drew’s shop. It really is a
lot of fun especially after I took the time to do some research and figured out what I should be doing, plus it’s
a really fast workout!
4. Summer time. Daylight
savings time has arrived which means that warmer weather is right around the
corner. No additional explanation required.
5. Urban Decay De-Slick. This was
also a birthday present and is a great product (I haven’t used it prior to
getting it for my bday). After I put my face on in the mornings I lightly mist
this over my face and it helps my foundation stay put all day. I’m not sure
about the cost but its available at Sephora and Ulta.
6. Iced Coffee. Man that stuff
is good! This is also a revived obsession since it hasn’t been as cold outside
as of late.
7. Springtime flowers and plants.
I made a trip to Home Depot this past weekend and bought all the flowers and
plants I needed to replant my big planters for the gate and my pots on the
porch. This year I am determined to make sure they survive through the entire
summer! (Or at least longer than they did last year!).
8. Ebay. I don’t normally shop
on ebay (not like I do on Amazon at least) but since I downloaded an app on my
phone I have been doing some serious stalking of a whole array of different
items. I also enjoy finding strange and unusual items on ebay and just watching
to see how much they sell for which has only reinforced my belief that there
are more crazy people in this world than sane.
9. Photography. I am getting
excited about doing me first round of spring mini-sessions this weekend. Will
post pictures next week (hopefully).
10. Downton Abbey. This is a
show that comes on BBC America about a family in England based in pre-WWI era.
It’s a drama that claims to be historically accurate about the period. My
favorite character just died and I’m not too happy about that, hopefully I will
stick with it though. I find myself talking with a British accent and wishing I
had a house fully of maids, butlers and cooks after I watch the episodes! Drew
has yet to respond to my bell ringing…….. rude.
