My Latests Obsessions

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on May 31, 2012

Okay.. maybe obsession is a little bit of a strong word.  But in my case.. it is not. It is just how I work.. I become obsessed with something.. be it a food – a song – or a product. I over used it.. and after a while.. that obsession fades. And something else takes it’s place. These are a few things that are currently on my obsession list:

 

Frozen Protein Shakes. Wait.. What? Yes. Frozen Protein Shakes. Well.. usually frozen on the outside and liquid in the middle. This happened by mistake actually. I drink a protein shake at work every morning. One morning, the water color jug had just been replaced so the water was warm. To speed up the cooling process, I mixed it and threw it in the freezer in the faculty lounge. I then forget about it for about 90 minutes. I came back to frozen heaven and have been doing this on purpose ever since!

White Crochet Toms. OKAY. I can’t really say I am obsessed because I JUST ordered them yesterday. BUT I kind of am. I was originally looking for the off white ones, but when looking last week, I couldn’t find them. These showed up in “new arrivals” when I was browsing after reading about Katie’s latest favorite pair of Toms… and I couldn’t resist!  They are a part of the “wedding collection” and while I won’t be wearing these at my wedding, I AM getting married – so it made perfect sense!

Yep. LOST. I never watched it. But all of our shows are over – so Justin and I wanted something to watch on TV. We discovered that we can use our Amazon Prime account to watch FREE TV. Lost was available – so we began watching it on Monday. We are now 7 episodes in to season one and I am not ashamed to admit that! :)  It is an addicting shows  - and can really create conversation! Bets on when we will be done with the series?

 

I PINK I CAN Nail Color by Sally Hansen. It is a mix between neon and pastel – if that exists. It’s perfect. I love it. However, I already picked it all off of my finder nails so I need to repaint.

 

Receiving Packages. It is a fair obsession, right?  Things are really starting to roll in for the wedding!  Just this week we’ve received a couple of packages full of favors for our guests – and a couple more that have the favors for our attendants!! EEeee! So fun!

Speaking of packages – this bad boy used to be in a box.. from RueLaLa. New Luggage! I love this set. It may be deceiving – but this is a three piece luggage set. I was just too lazy to take the other two pieces OUT of the larger piece.  We got an AMAZING deal on this set. I don’t know if it is an old line – or what.. but this was originally over $1,000 and we got it for $200! The wheels swivel – each piece comes with a lock – the bags are expandable. Pure Awesomeness! Plus the yellow stripe will help it stick out on the baggage claim in Aruba! ;) I LOVE RUELALA

This delicious Lipton Tea and Honey Mango Pineapple Drink Mix! I received this through Klout as a perk and think it is amazing! It has a the perfect hint of sweetness and has been doing a GREAT job of quenching my thirst on these hot days!  Sometimes – I am just tired of water – and need some flavor!

Speaking of thirst quenchers – I still owe you a review about the YZ – which will be coming your way next Monday – with a giveaway! :)  These have been doing the job after a workout – and are great because they have electrolytes – with half the amount of sugar and calories than your typical gatorade or powerade!

I’m also obsessed with weekends. The next one is coming up soon.

Cait, if I may say one thing, it’s that you’re wasting your time with Lost. I was a religious watcher when it was on for however many seasons it lasted, but it ended it BIG disappointment. I was so sad/mad. It felt like they didn’t even attempt to end the show in a way that made sense. It was really disappointing =( I wish I could have kept the early in the series Lost dream lol

I am currently obessed with green smoothies. I wake up craving them for breakfast, enjoy them as an afternoon snack, and even had one with my dinner the other night. I am loving creating different combinations. Believe it or not, I’v never seen a single episode of Lost.

I love my smoothies frozen – I blend them with so much ice that they turn to ice cream that I can eat out of a bowl with a spoon. This morning is a frapp. Soooo good!

Really cute luggage! I need to pay closer attention to Rue La La deals.

i just watched my very first episode of Lost yesterday. Like you all my other shows are done and it’s on Netflix, so I thought why not. I was trying so hard NOT to. Haha. The first episode was pretty good, so I’m willing to give it a chance.

I love packages too! And I just got a surprise one, which is extra nice!!

We started lost in Mid-April and just wrapped it up last night…all six seasons in a month and a half! I LOVED the first two seasons and it got too weird for me after that…it ended kind of strange too. Just kind of too sci-fi for my liking.

Love the luggage, very pretty! We got a new luggage set for our wedding as well, no fancy yellow stripe though. That is a really good idea though! Maybe I should put hot pink duct tape around the bottom of mine ;-)

I also love that mango tea stuff, so tasty! I haven’t watched Lost; Right now i’m currently obsessed with watching Army Wives on netflix. I love netflix, but when I start watching a show, I can’t stop. I just have to watch it all the time until I finish the show.. not very productive.

Those TOMs look cute–I love the white crochet design. They’re different than what you usually think of when you picture TOMs. Have a great weekend! :)

Those toms are adorable! I am currently obsessed with pineapple! I used to avoid it in stores because it looks to hard to cut up, but I braved it last week and now I’m OBSESSED! I practically eat pineapple with every meal. It’s a little insane.
