Weekly Obsessions // Week Four Star Wars Edition

We all have a secret geek inside of us. 

I love Star Wars. A few of my earliest child hood memories involve Star Wars. For the past couple months I've been getting hella excited for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. 

I've been obsessing over these items the past couple months.

1. Cookie Cutters // $14.99
Every year my family has a specific day that we make and decorate Christmas cookies. This year I'm proposing Star Wars themed gingerbread men. 

2. R2D2 Tea Pot // $44.99
I've been searching high and low for a teapot that I love. Making a Hot Toddy or a cup of tea is so much more fun when R2D2 is around-Beep Boop. 

3. Dark Side Yoga Mat // $24.99
I always feel more in touch with my body and spirit when I'm doing yoga. I like to believe I'm working on the force within. I love this yoga mat because not only will I love using it, but so will my boyfriend. 

In Minnesota, we don't have an issue keeping our beer cold, but who doesn't love Chewbacca? 

5. X Wing Knife Block // $119.99
Anyone can appreciate a nice sharp knife. I've been in the market for a new knife set (hint hint) and I'm loving the X Wing Knife Block. It's so quirky and I know this will be a talking point that is just sitting on my counter. 

I don't know if you're planning on going to the premeire of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, but I know I will.

May the force be with you- Sarah

Weekly Obsessions // Week Three


Back in Minneapolis, we've received our first signs of Winter. A sheet of white has covered the ground and it's time for us to expect plenty of time "Netflix and Chilling".

With the cold weather comes the holiday season and a gate way to friends, family, and excitement.


I had such a blast taking this camera to California. This disposable camera has built in overlays to add something a little extra to your snapshots. This definitely makes your photos festive and fun since you need to wait to get the film developed. 

I obviously have a thing for burritos, especially if I can conveniently hold items in pouches that look like burritos. The Photorito Lens Wrap holds lens safely in your backpack. Lens care is essential for DSLR owners and this yummy looking wrap are made with super strong materials. 

3. Santa's Lip Scrub // $8.95
Holiday parties always mean I gotta wear lipstick as bright as the Christmas lights. I love this lip scrub from lush to brush off all the dry crusts. The scrub is also edible. You just wipe the lip scrub on and lick off the rest. Santa's flavor is Cola of course! 

4. Bloke Hair Treatment // $18.95
Winter can be really harsh on your hair. If you use heat, bleach your hair, or your hair is just brittle, there are four different types of oil in your to get it in tip top shape again. I like to leave it in for an hour before I rinse it out. 

This cookie sheet has indents so you get perfectly round cookies EVERY TIME. I can't believe it. This is needed for the winter season. No more embarrassing crooked cookies at parties. What makes it even better... you don't need to grease it before you put it in the oven. Truly perfection. 



That's what I'm obsessing over this week.
All the items I choose are items I truly enjoy, like to use, or have on my wish list. I am not persuaded by companies nor paid to feature these items.

Stay Warm Guys! -Sarah

Weekly Obsessions // Week Two

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. This is the one day that notifies me that the Holidays are here and it's time to start thinking Christmas. Snow will start to fall, scarves will come out of hiding, and it's an appropriate time to start drinking Hot Toddy's.

This is what I'm obsessing over this week. These seem almost necessary during the holiday season!



1. Short Stack Subscription // $75 for a year
I always find myself cooking more during the holidays. Nothing is better than the house filling up with what's cooking in the oven. Short Stack features a cookbook writer or a chef in each volume. Each volume is filled with recipes that is inspired by one ingredient and it's delivered straight to your mailbox! You can purchase past volumes you missed if you're really curious about all the things you can do with Summer Squash. Every little collectable book has a homemade feel since they're bound by hand. 

Whisky tastes twice as nice when it's barrel aged, but those spirits tend to get a little pricey. You can make your own barrel aged bourbon and whisky in just two weeks! The kit allows you to give the spirit of your choice the character that you desire. Perfect for yourself or a gift for your boozy friends. 

People suck at parking. Especially in Minnesota after the first snow fall. It drives me insane, but I can truly be passive aggressive and leave this on the car of the perpetrator. 

4. Touch Tonic // $20
I hate buying the gloves with no fingertips or have the weird netted parts on your index finger and thumb. The Touch Tonic allows you to turn any gloves smartphone friendly. I love that I don't have to constantly take off my home-made mittens to text back mom. 

5. Burrito Yoga Bag // $35
This is such a head turner yoga mat. Not all yogis eat burritos, but this one does. I'd love to make sure that everyone else knows I need to hit up a Chipotle right after my 90-minute sweat. 

That's what I'm obsessing over this week! 

I hope your belly is over-stuffed and you're surrounded by love. 
Happy Thanksgiving!-Sarah
