Current Obsessions | June 2020

I have an addictive personality, and it can get bad.  I noticed and I know people around me have noticed as well.  Once I like something I can't stop.  However, I give it a week or two before I'm over it.  And I swear I don't do it on purpose, but sometimes it's just like that you know?  Well, lately I have been obsessed over a couple of things.  So let me tell you about it. 

1.  I've been obsessed with buying organizers and desk items.  I sometimes have the urge to buy furniture.  For what? I don't know, but I always have the feeling that I need too.  It's pretty weird.  I just want everything organized and clean.  I wouldn't say I have OCD, but lately, I want to organize everything and arrange things how I want them.  My desk is kind of messy because I have things that there is no room for.  I feel like Luis & I have outgrown our home.  I know it sounds dumb, but I look around the house and I'm like sheesh.  The kitchen is full like I can't buy any more appliances because I wouldn't know where to put them.  And I feel that's the reason why I want to buy organizers and whatnot because I feel like we are outgrowing the home and there's no space.  Although, that may not make any sense.  But besides that, I want to organize and rearrange my entire home and desk.  

2.  Baking!  I've been baking and trying new things in the kitchen.  I've been learning how to make desserts.  Well desserts, I'm not used to making.  Within a month, we've bought soooo many food coloring,  concentration drops, seasonings, sprinkles, chocolate, well everything.  I try to make at least two different things in a week.  I love to make something and share it with ourselves and our families.  And I love receiving compliments on my desserts, it feels nice.  The only thing I'm slacking is making buttercream.  It has come to a point where Luis has also try to make the buttercream, but there's just no luck.  We waste so many ingredients on trying to make some, but I feel like we'll get it soon.  

3.  Shopping! Ugh, it doesn't matter how hard I try not to buy things I just can't seem to stop.  Sometimes I'll stop myself if I feel like I've already spent too much.  I also try to ask Luis for opinions if he's with me and he sometimes encourages me but also discourages.  I realized that when I tell him something is on sale, he'll tell me to buy it lol.  Now that our favorite stores are opening up such as Ross, TJ Maxx, Homegoods and Marshalls we just been spending like there's no tomorrow.  But I have also been obsessed with buying makeup.  I know I had stopped buying makeup for a while, but I think its because of Youtube. I do feel that since I started doing Youtube videos, I've been inclined to buy makeup.  It's dumb I know, but I know I don't buy everything.  Luis does a good job of helping me too.  He discourages me but in a positive way.  I actually really appreciated it because if not I would've had so much more by now. 

4.  Cricut Maker!  We recently bought a Cricut Maker and we are both OBSESSED!! It's so much fun yet time-consuming.  We get so invested when we are using it.  We lose track of time too.  The very next day we got the Cricut, I went to the stores and basically balled out with so much Vinyl.  Its been at least two weeks with it, and we are still learning so much about it.  But it's so much fun.   Now with the Cricut, it's taken a big chunk of space of my desk which is fine, but the additional arts and crafts that I have there's no real space for them.  I have canvases, ring light, backdrop stand, vinyls, and cardstock that needs to be organized neatly and I think that's why I have my #1 problem^ (obsessed with organizers and desk items).  P.S: Luis and I have started a small little business, Les Custom Design.  If you guys can show it love and support that would be so much appreciated. 

5.  Skincare.  My skin has never been better!  I've been trying to figure out my skincare routine and it changes sometimes depending on the day.  But every time I have clear skin, it makes me the happiest.  I have minor breakouts here and there but hardly.  I have also been buying so many skincare products because I've been so addicted.  Of course, I['m careful and I see what works with me and what doesn't.  But at the end of the day, I have to do my skincare every morning and night doesn't matter how tired I am.  I have to do it.  It makes me happy just doing those steps.  But I know once this goes live I will have breakouts because that's what always happens when I talk highly about my skin. 

What do you think about my current obsessions lately?  I feel like that pretty much sums me up the past couple of weeks.  However, those can literally change by the end of the week.  I'm weird, I know.  Anyways, do you have anything you've been obsessed with lately? 

Thank you,
