Taylor Swift and my sick obsession with her...
Every once in a while I go through a phase where I become really obsessed with something(s) and I cant let them go. Whether it's a person, an item, or a place, I become deeply invested in whatever it is, and I live and breathe it as a full on lifestyle.
Some of my obsessions are harmless, like that time I taught myself to drink scotch because I thought it was classy and I refused to be basic, before the term basic was even coined. Some of my other obsessions are good for my health and humanity, like the time I was vegan. Others are a downright waste of time and money, like that one time spent 48 hours straight and an embarrassing amount of money trying to prove that I was 1/16th Native American because... I thought I heard my grandmother say that once. Regardless, I never learn my lesson and I always dive in head first to my newest obsession.
Here are the things 5 things I'm infatuated with right now:
1. Taylor Swift- who isn't? Admittedly, this is a pretty basic obsession, but I am equally as obsessed with her music as I am with her as a human being. In another life, I wouldn't mind being the Samantha Ronson to her Lindsay Lohan. I mean, look at her.
On another note, there are two reasons I know that Ryan is my soulmate: 1) He once bought me a 5lb bag of gummy bears from Walmart and told me not to "eat it all in one week," and 2) he is more obsessed with 1989 than I am. #Gamechanger.
2. Finding the PERFECT wedding/engagement ring stack- instead of getting just one wedding band, I got two because I'm addicted to the stack. A week after we got married I told Ryan I wanted a 4th ring and he laughed in my face, but I knew I could eventually wear him down. And so I did. When we were at the Brooklyn Flea this past weekend I found a cool, inexpensive, thin, vintage gold band and bought it while Ryan wasn't looking. I have spent an unhealthy amount of time swapping the order of my rings around trying to figure out which combination looks best.
3. Van Cleef and Arpels Jewelry- it's gorgeous, outrageously expensive, but stupid CLASSY. Needless to say, I want to bathe in these gems.
4. Brie- Some people look forward to a glass of wine after a long day at work, but I look forward to a face full of brie. Mainly, because I look like this:
If you haven't tried brie, look for this delectable cheese at a well stocked grocery store. The best kind comes from specialty cheese shops, however if you are newcomer to, what I like to call, heaven on earth, I would start out with something very mild, like President, and then work your way up to a stronger, smellier, creamier brie.
5. The Blacklist- this show is, hands down, my biggest regret. I mean that in the "how the heck did I not know this sooner" regret kind of sense. It makes me want to do two things, (1) become an FBI criminal profiler, and (2) become friends with a concierge criminal. I have watched 9 episodes in two days and I have it on in the background of everything I do. The Blacklist is in season 2 on NBC but you can catch my girl Lizzy Keen on Netflix if you want to lose 24 hours of your life. Watch at your own discretion.
