five things Friday: latest obsessions edition

Having mentioned my new favorite hobby - paint by sticker! - in my latest Friday roundup, I got to thinking about some of my other obsessions of summer 2018. Here's what I just can't get enough of lately:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

1. Berry La Croix: I've never gotten that on board with La Croix until my mom bought the berry flavor and I tried it. Now it's a daily occurrence - pro tip is to squeeze the juice from 1/4 to 1/2 a lime in a cup before pouring in the La Croix. It's almost cocktail-like and super refreshing and tasty!

2. New pots: our old set was really showing its age and just didn't do that well with the gas cooktop we have in this house, so when I saw a good promo I decided to go for it with a starter All-Clad set. And they are soooooo shiny and pretty. Like almost too pretty to cook with...but they do cook things super nicely and evenly. Loving them.

3. Yoga videos: I've had the Nike Training Club app for ages but have barely used it, until I tried out one of the yoga videos a couple of months ago. There are several restorative yoga sessions that can be done in under 20 minutes in the comfort of your own home, and every time I do one my body just feels SO. GOOD. Excellent way to relax/unwind and to recover from some of my hard biking/running, and I've been doing it as often as possible.

4. Sleeveless chambray: I picked this up on a whim at Target and it is FAB. I can't stop wearing it - and even better than the measly $17.99 price tag, it's making me finally actually like shorts. Stay tuned for an outfit post...

5. Queer Eye season 2: if you haven't watched season 1 yet on Netflix, obviously start there - it's super delightful. But then get excited for season 2. I have had so many excellent cries. Cannot get enough of these guys and their amazing house/hair/wardrobe makeovers and their hilarious chemistry and above all the profoundly moving transformations they have on people. It might seem like a lot of silliness on the surface, but it is deep stuff here, so get ready to laugh and also make sure to have your tissues ready. Can't recommend this enough.


Looks like rain for our weekend, so I'm going to be spending some quality time with my paint by sticker book (and then some yoga videos to relieve the crick in my neck from bending over it for too long). How about you?
