Current Obsessions: Back to School

As many of you may know, I am going back to school next month. With back to school comes shopping, which i will never in my life complain about. I never need a reason to go shopping, but i will also take any excuse that I can get. Having to get prepared to go back to school is what has sparked this current obsessions post.

1. Benefit Posiebalm - i received a sample size of this balm in this months birchbox, and I am head over heels in love. It feels smooth and hydrating on the lips and gives off the prettiest sheer poppy pink color, prefect for summer days. I normally would not spend $18 on a lip balm, but i am going to be making an exception for this one. It will be the perfect shade to have thrown in my college tote for everyday use.

2. Longchamp 'Large Le Pliage' Tote - I have been going back and forth on whether i want to use a book bag or a tote bag for my classes. I am still undecided, i think i may use both from time to time. But i have been drooling over this tote for many months now. It has amazing reviews, it holds up well, it waterproof and it has plenty of room for people like me that feel like you have to carry your whole life with you. it retails for around $145-$160 dollars, which i think is pretty reasonable for a tote of this quality.  however Cory does not, just wait till he hears about the price of the dange dover. 

3. Erin Condren Life Planner - WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? I have done research after research on planners. I am a very organized person and I am a huge huge huge planner, so picking the right planner was a big decision for me. I have decided to purchase the life planner for many reasons, and I could go on and on about this but then i would not be able to do a review on it at a later date so I will not ramble on. However, I will say if you are looking to purchase a planner please do your research on this life planner. I also have a link that  can provided you with $10 off, so if you are interested just shoot me an email! This planner is on the pricey side and there is also tons of customization that you can add on, so every dollar off helps.

4. Dange Dover Tote-  STOP. if you do not want to spend $250 on a tote do NOT go to their website and read about this tote and definitely do not look at pictures. Once you do there is no turning back, you will be sucked in and you will count down the days until it arrives at your door. This tote is a little piece of heaven. I can not wait to see what the new styles and colors will be that will be available at the end of this month.

5. The Fault in Our Stars - I seriously read this entire book in less then two days. I have not seen the movie yet but i can not wait! It was an amazing story of a terminally ill cancer patient that tells about the final chapters of her life. Hazel has no idea that she is about to experience living at a whole new level until Augustus walks into her life. This story will make you cry, laugh, smile, and then cry, laugh and smile some more. It is amazingly written and one of the best books that I have read in years. I am now making it a point to read all of John Greens books. currently reading looking for Alaska. 


What are some of your current obsessions?

LCC's Rants & Raves: The Bachelor (week 3)

First and foremost, how darn dreamy is Juan Pablo? I don't think it can get much better then this. And I will defiantly say that they don't make men like that around my neck of the woods. Maybe not in this country at all. ha-ha (get it?) so every Monday I am counting down the hours until the bachelor comes on, probably like most women in America. And more times then not, I am screaming my opinions at the TV. So I had this great Idea to include my opinions of the show each week on the blog.


But before I get started, I want to state that these are my opinions and you know how the old saying goes, "They are like buttholes, everyone has one."

How I feel towards Cory when the bachelor is on.*



Week Three: So at this point, I am madly in love with Juan Pablo.. no but really he seems to be an amazing guy on the inside as well as the outside. I love how he pays special attention to Cassandra and Renee due to them being mothers. He does not want to take up their time If he is not feeling a spark with them, and I love that. Men take note.

As far as the girls go, I do not have one favorite girl as of now, but I do have a few that I really like and I have a few that I do not think would be the right choice for him. Lets start out with who got eliminated last night. Lucy, I did not recognize any chemistry between these two at all, and I am honestly surprised she didn't leave sooner.  Christy, never really stuck out to me, the rose ceremony last night is the only thing that I remember about her. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention?

So far, I really like Nikki, Renee, Kat, Cassandra, and Sharlenne. I feel that they are guinely sweet girls and they have a good head on their shoulders. There was A lot of drama on the show this last episode because all of the girls blaming the other girls of being "Attention Whores", come on really? who would not be an attention whore with Juan Pablo, or just being on the bachelor period. I feel that there are so many girls that you need to do something to stand out and to separate yourself from all the other girls.

I can't put my finger on it, but there is something about Andi that makes me not like her at all. I will be sure to tell you what that is exactly when I figure it out. I thought that I liked Elise, but in this episode she really showed her true colors with all the trash talking she did about Chelise due to her own insecurities. Nobody needs a women like this in their life. Clare, well she is very possessive. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the situation, we will just have to continue to see how this goes.  I so call psycho crazy. Not sure why Danielle is still in the running. Kelli, is 27 and her occupation is a "dog lover" enough said. Then there is sweet little Chelise, I have not made my mind up about her yet. She is very outgoing and a girl that you will always have a good time with. But she is extremely awkward to me. I'm hoping that this is just her being nervous and that this will all die down.

I will be counting down the days until the new episode of the bachelor airs, and from the previews it is going to be very interesting as always.


What are your predictions? How do you feel about the girls? I would love to know, please comment in the box down below!
