Why you so obsessed with me?

…No worries, I’m not that vain. Unlike Mariah Carey, no one is obsessed with me – especially not Eminem. I, however, am obsessed with quite a few things as of late…

1. Kashi warm cinnamon cereal

it reminds me of cinnamon buns. I love so much.

2. chocolate cream pie oat bran

p.s. last time I used this bowl a few of you asked what that pesky "green ingredient" was. In fact, I believe one of you thought it was wasabi. Ha! hilar. It's actually a froggie.

I've named him Robert

3. My pink power ranger pants as Gingie likes to call them..

whatever, the pink power ranger was the hottest. Besides the rest, obv.

4. Gray cardy Uggs

It's like walking on pillows

5. Sundried tomato wraps

especially when they're stuffed with my favorite tuna salad recipe


these little dudes are long overdue for a review. I have been nibbling on them like it's my job - especially in classes (somethings gotta distract me from the otherwise snooze-worthy hour and 15 minutes of my life)

a little information about the product..
[ From the Site ]
  • A new mouth watering hard candy specially formulated to help moisten your mouth
  • Advanced Moisture Action™ formula
  • Sugar Free and may be incorporated into the diet of diabetics and others who are monitoring their sugar intake
  • Available in 9-piece sticks and 20-count resealable bag
  • Only 6 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates per drop
  • 0 grams of sugar per drop
  • HALLS® products may be used by adults and children 5 years and over. For
    children under 5 years, ask a doctor
Flavors include: juicy strawberry, tropical wave, and refreshing mint.
I was fortunate enough to try the juicy strawberry and tropical wave and have to say I preferred the strawberry one.. though tropical was very good as well. It didn't have that bitter strange "cough drop" taste which I do NOT enjoy but rather it was just a nice sweet candy-like treat. It was also, well, refreshing (no pun intended)... and I definitely thought the whole "mouth-watering" thing was just a marketing gimmick but it REALLY did make my mouth-water... I kid you not. I liked 'em!


Back to my obsessions...

7. My "comfort" drawer filled with my favorite scarves and cozy socks.

I wish I could sleep in here

8. Katharine over at U.S. Mills for sending me the most outrageous package of goodies, ever!



My jaw is literally still on the floor.
Katharine - I owe you my first born child

9. The Fray's cover of Kanye's "heartless"


10. YOU GUYS! Honestly, friends... I was literally blown away by your sweet sweet comments on yesterday's post. I have to say it was such a relief to get all of that recovery stuff off my chest and I was a little apprehensive about how you would receive it, but in true amazing bloggie fashion you were all super understanding and supportive. You all make my heart smile so big! biggrin Thank you, everyone!!! You blow my away with your kindness and I am absolutely elated and so grateful to be apart of such a beautiful community!

Alright enough sap, I'm dying to know - what are you obsessed with this week?

i would really like to know how you got to your "healthy weight" in a healthy way! it seems like food that normally make people gain weight (fried things, fatty meat) haven't done much for me. what kind of things does the doc recommend? i'm really struggling since my doctor told me i had actually lost weight since my last visit there, despite my eating way more junk...:(

april said...

Someone is in whole grain heaven with those cereals!
I'm always obsessed with yogurt, but I think it's been kicked up a notch recently for some reason. And So Delicious agave plain soy yogurt is just the best!

Kailey (SnackFace) said...

But I am obsessed with you? Is that OK?

Jadore this post. I want it all. Especially that Kashi cinnamon cereal. I have a feeling it has honey or something non-vegan, though. Major bummer.

Crazy cereal packages! I need them!

Power Ranger pants are BOSSY! You know I'd rock my banana pants alongside (which, I remember you asked if they were Forev21, but they're Roxy).

I hope your week is going swimmingly. LOVE YOU BOO! xoxoxox

I also have an Ugg obsession...unfortunately (actually, fortunately) it's still in the 80s here, but I've been rocking the slippers.
Also, really intense running socks (asics has the best). I have no idea if they make a difference in speed or anything, but I love them.

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) said...

You are so welcome about liking my comment on your last post (by way of you telling me this on your most recent comment on my bloggie:)

Choc cream pie oat bran? Lord have mercy that looks good.

But the pink power rgr pants and you in them look even better!!!

Nice swag scores!

Sundried tomatoes...although I loved my Magic Box for making my sun drieds, it does require immense planning and I used to be able to find this brand Mariani in regular groc store that was like a pack of raisins, dry and no oil. But here in AZ only things i can find are the dry with TONS of salt OR the oil glass jars. Neither of which will work.

So would love to hear your source on the sunny d's.

Sorry bout the novel here :)
xoxo
i love you jenny!

BroccoliHut said...

I am kind of obsessed with that cereal too! It reminds me of those iced cookies that came in a hot pink bag when I was a kid. YUM!!

I have been obsessed with yogurt bowls made with oats, nut buttah, cereal and pumpkin!!

Haylee said...

Your chocolate cream pie oat bran looks AMAZING!
I'm confused, are those halls refresh things cough drops, or candy? I guess if they taste good why does it matter right? ;)
I'm jealous of your U.S. mills stash. Those graham crackers are calling my name!

Devan Geselle. N said...
