obsessed: when pretty and functional collide!

…just a few pretty things that are keeping me together these days!!

1. marble & gold cover – for my macbook portal to the world, of course. this cover, iiii love. i love love love it despite a couple of downsides, actually…  because, first of all, when i bought it almost exactly one year ago, it initially took a handful of weeks to ship. as one who is spoiled by all things prime free asap shipping, this was a bummer. but!! the gorgeousness has been sooo worth it! the marble pattern and the gold are really perfect, and i’m still seriously in love the aesthetic. so in love that i’m super bummed that one year in, the plastic is totally chipping off around the edges. but then i figure, better the case than my macbook, right? i am not careless with my laptop, either, it’s just not a case created for durability. however!! would i buy it again? why, yes. yes i would. because i like my technology to be pretty, please and thank you. <3

2. 2017 planner – so i don’t lose my marbles, of course!!! i went back to having an actual, physical planner a few years ago and i will never let the habit slide again! it’s like a little diary of daily life and tasks. 🙂 planners are the best!

3. lanolips & lanohands – a couple of gloriously wonderful smelling and tasting and feeling products  that i’m freshly in love with. so, yay! i can finally stop rubbing straight nipple cream all over my hands lips and feet every day of the winter!! the lip treatment is glossy and lemony sweet, which i just love. and the hand cream is rosey, which is beyond my fav.

4. warm and cozy faux fur throw – one of my fav items of the winter!! it was sent to me as a christmas gift by the sweeties at grandin road. [kiiiind of obsessed with them.] and oooh, just steal my heart with this amazing beauty! i like to cuddle under it late at night to add a little luxury to the 30 minutes i typically have to unwind between washing dishes/my face and my bunny boy waking up all furious that he’s alone. sorry baby! [i really must stop passing along my anti-alone genes!]

5. to-do list – oh, lists! how i love lists. lists are the only thing that keep my head attached to my body… and there’s still just something about using a pen and paper for tasks and reminders!! i love a good notepad that looks pretty on my desk, too, because that’s riiiight where i need it.

6. skin & cover – for my iphone portal to the world, because you know how i feel about keeping my peeping portals all pretty and coordinated! makes me so happy.

7. essie polishes in getting groovy & summit of style – you know what they say [on pinterest], she leaves a little sparkle whereeeever she goes! and that’s probably because her nails are chipping due to excessive hand washing and general household/baby cleaning, so she has to touch up a lot. i find that glitter allows for many imperfections, and a soft gold is chic and shiny and doesn’t stand out too badly when it chips! 🙂

      yes yes!!! the marble is just a skin, so it doesn't add any bulk!!! the case has a clear back so you can see it and protect your phone!
