My {Current} Obsessions

Confession time. Full disclosure. I have a problem. Not just one, or two, but six current obsessions. It happens to all of us right?

 

1. Burt's Bees Lip Balm

I've been  using a lip stain lately instead of my normal lipstick, because the lipstick doesn't seem to last the whole day. I love that I can put on the lip stain once in the morning, and my lips look nice and colored the rest of the day. The only downside, is that my lips get dried out very easily. I've been relying on my grapefruit Burt's Bees lip balm to get me through it. No more chapped lips for me! It's 100% natural and is the perfect thing to keep your lips from chapping in this cold dry air we've been having. Highly recommend. I'm thinking of switching to a less summery flavor, though, with the holidays approaching. Any suggestions?

 

2. Starbucks Coffee

 It seems like midterms just ended, but finals are already approaching. My campus just got a Starbucks in our bookstore and it has only fueled my addiction. It's so nice to carry around a warm cup of energy in the morning, especially when my classroom is chilly. Since this is a fairly recent obsession, I still don't have a go to coffee. I've been trying to try a variety of different drinks to find out what I really like. Right now, my coffee of choice is a Salted Caramel Mocha. What drink should I try next?

3. Elbow Patches

 I recently got this sweater from Macy's and I love it! I'm having so much fun matching my elbow patches to my boots. The sweater pictured above is from J.Crew and I want it more than I should. For a less expensive alternative, here's one from Lord and Taylor, here's one from Gap, and here's a really cute one from Walmart, of all places. Here is a tutorial from A Beautiful Mess showing you how to add your own unique elbow patches!

4. Bean Boots

I've finally given in and put a pair of bean boots on my wish list this year. During that rainy spell earlier this month, I was really regretting not having a pair of my own. My ballet flats don't seem to cut it when I have to be outside for too long, and as the weather only promises to get colder, I think boots are going to become more of a thing for me.

 

5. Instagram

No, I don't post a lot of pictures on Instagram (I'm hoping to post more frequently soon!), but I love seeing all the pictures from people that I follow. It's really good for outfit inspiration. I feel like Instagram is such a more personal form of social media. Instead of just hearing what everyone is doing, you actually get to see it!

 

6.  Katy Perry's Roar Music Video

The song has been stuck in my head for the past few months, and now the music video is all over the place. I have to admit, I love how inspirational this music video is. Whenever I hear it and I'm in the car, I sing at the top of my lungs and it is a mega confidence booster!

 

What are your current obsessions? Please tell me I am not alone!
