When contemplating things I want to blog about, I oftentimes do a mental scan of everything I currently have taken an interest to.
…”obsessed with,” if you will.
Most recently I made the realization that all of the things I’m loving right now are arguably (and slightly embarrassingly) quite juvenile. For example, there’s my newfound obsession with Twiggy the water-skiing Squirrel.
I will stop Googling you. I will stop Googling you. I will stop Googling you.
And then there’s this recent purchase of mine – a neon pink shoulder bag – AKA the envy of my 4-year-old self.
Another recent purchase – Maybelline Baby Lips.
I think the name speaks for itself.

In my defense, I am looking for a vintage one, which is totally age-appropriate…right…?

OMG I have that purse in orange and LOVE LOVE LOVE it and that LipBalm is my favorite!!!!
I’ll never give up my Vanilla Lipsmacker gloss. Love it so much!
I’m still in love with anything Hello Kitty. And I’m also 25.

Lipsmackers…and pb&j sandwiches (crusts cut off, obvi). Our friends just gave my husband and I a piggy bank to save for a vacation we want to take together! It is one of our favorite gifts to date.
I’m convinced that my current tastes are still totally driven by my pre-teen self. give me some stick-on earrings, jelly sandals, and the coolest coloring book on the block and I would be a very happy, 23 year old girl.
Obsessed with the pink purse!!! And the skiing squirrel. Toooo funny
