So we all have certain things we buy more of than others. I wanted to talk about a few of my obsessions or rather things I own and buy way too many of. Maybe you have some of the same Little Obsessions as I do.
1. Any kind of chap stick or lip balm: I swear anytime I go to Ulta, A drugstore or Target I inevitably leave with something new in the chap stick arena. I have a serious collection going and I do not see myself stopping anytime soon.
2. Cute funky coffee mugs: I love coffee mugs. Andrew tells me constantly to stop buying them because we actually have an entire cabinet of coffee mugs. I am a huge advocate for making my own lattes. I treat myself maybe once a week to a Starbucks if I am out and about but I try to make it at home every other day. I love finding etsy shops or other online stores that have really cute ones. My favs are from Fancy Ashley and Ashley Brooke Designs. Also I collect Starbucks Mugs from every city I visit 🙂
3. Diptyque Candles: OK This is a huge problem for me. I bought one on a whim and then immediately wanted more. The same with Nest Candles. I have so many of them. But our house smells amazing!
4. Notebooks: If I showed you guys my notebook collection it would be bad news bears. But I have a tendency to stop on the notebook aisle at target and pick up cute little note books. I also have several Kate Spade and Sugar paper notebooks from Swoozies and Design Darling that I adore!! Cute notebooks are a must.
5. Pens: I mean who doesn’t love “school supplies?” Pens have been a love of mine since middle school when we could start using pens instead of pencils and I always had to have tons in different colors. I am the type of person who color coordinates my agenda so colored pens and pens in general are a favorite. I love the dollar section of Target because they always have the cutest pens and who cares if they don’t last long I mean its a dollar.
6. Little pouches. I have about a zillion gussy sews and pleated poppy pouches. Both of which are no longer made and I scour places like Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx for cute little pouches. These come in so handy for travel and everyday use. I am a pouch collector to the extreme!
So tell me what is a little obsession of yours that you can’t stop buying?
I’m obsessed with cooking and love having tons of gadgets in the kitchen. My favorite is the Vitamix. OMG it totally changed the way I make smoothies!!
Love the lip balm! I’m also the same way when it comes to notebooks. I have one for everything.
I am obsessed with note books! I always have one handy to write down my to do lists
I love having a stack of cute note cards to send people notes. Of course I’m also obsessed with buying pretty yarn 🙂
oh I love obsession posts! I love eos lipbalm. 🙂
I love lip balm too. I always have at least two (sometimes more) in my purse.
I think we are sisters from another mister!!! I am completely obsessed with the exact. same. things. Can’t get enough of all of these things! The Target greenroom notebooks? Love them because they fit so easily in my purse. I swear every time I see them in the colors I like, I buy more! We have no more room for coffee mugs, but that doesn’t stop me from buying them!
We have very similar obsessions! I wish I had more room for coffee mugs so I usually stop myself from buying them but I have pouches and lip balm FOR DAYS. I’m starting at 3 different lip balms at my desk as I type this…and those are only my “work” lip balms haha.
great post!

Love, love, love all of these! I think taking the splurge and buying a diptyque candle is in my near future 🙂
I’d love to see your pouch collection! I need to collect those so I can have a variety. I’d have to say little thrift treasures & craft supplies are my obsessions. If I showed you how much yarn & rand scraps of fabric I have, you’d think I may be slightly crazy lol
I am addicted to chapstick.. I … or the Easter bunny brought some EOS for us for Easter and I love it.. I will admit…. it is a little awkward feeling to put it on.
Lol! Love this list. I actually have an issue with lipsticks. I always feel the need to buy nude or pink lipsticks. I have too many to count.
I have a bad coffee mug habit, too!
Shoes! I just can’t get enough! But I was shopping this morning and made myself pass up the cutest pair and now I’m slightly regretting the decision. 🙂
Those pens are SO cute!!!! I too have an obsession with pens, however, my husband steals them whenever he gets a chance!
I love notebooks! I used to collect them all the time, but now my little steals them are.. So I’ve slowed down.
We are so alike I collect lip balms , Clinique products, wooden spoons for cooking, mugs and note books . This year I started on planners and could not stop now I started on mascara. so bad.
These look a lot like my little obsessions that I collect too! I’ve recently been getting into collecting mugs and it’s becoming a problem as I don’t have much space to store them x)
