Current Obsessions

Categories Series, , , 4 Comments on Current Obsessions

If I like something, there’s a good chance I’ve said, “I’M OBSESSED.” Just look at my tagline here on this blog (Fashion, Travel, and Lifestyle blogger who has way too many obsessions) and on Instagram (@itsashleywallace). It may be a slight exaggeration, but I’m either 0 or 100 when it comes to my interests.

Here is the recent roundup of my current obsessions:

My Husband
My best friend, the love of my life, my bird. David will always be my number one obsession. He’s the most supportive, caring husband ever and truly the best person I know. I’m so lucky- I get to spend forever with him.

France
There is just something about this country that I cannot put into words (spoiler alert: a whole post on Paris coming soon). It’s such a special place, and I daydream about it every single day. The sights, the food, the language- everything about this culture is captivating to me. I cannot wait until I can go back.

Milk Frother
I must be getting older because I’m excited about a kitchen appliance. This frother has totally stepped up my coffee game! I love being able to make my own cappuccinos at home now. It even works with almond milk (I use Almond Breeze, specifically) if you need to use a dairy-free option.

Amazon Prime
You can get just about anything on Prime. I’ve ordered household necessities, as well as clothes and accessories that have quickly become my go-to’s. I’m totally not ashamed to say I got something off of Amazon. There are some seriously good finds! I keep an on-going list of the things I’ve loved (stay tuned for blog post on my top favorites), and I’m constantly adding to my wish list.

Podcasts
Sometimes I prefer a good podcast over music. I start every weekday off with the best pop culture/millennial morning show, The Morning Toast. It’s hosted by 3 sisters and it bring you the most pertinent five news stories you need to hear. When I want to feed my true crime obsession, I listen to Crime Junkie. Each week is a new story, and it’s straight facts and no fluff, which I appreciate. I love these podcasts so much, I even have merch!

Lavender Spray
Every time I smell lavender, I’m immediately transported back to France. I bought this particular one while in Provence this past summer. I spray it on our pillows just before getting into bed. It’s so relaxing and smells heavenly. I’ve tried looking for this same pillow mist online, but it doesn’t seem to be available in the US. Hopefully I don’t run out anytime soon!

Mariage Frères
I love coffee, but I enjoy a good cup of tea too! This brand is honestly the best tasting, most high-quality tea I’ve ever had. We went to the storefront in Paris, and there were so may options to choose from. We brought home THÉ VERT MARCO POLO (a fruit and flowery, mellow green tea) and ROUGE MÉTIS (a fruit and flowery rooibos tea). Both are delicious, but we drink the ROUGE MÉTIS the most before bed since it’s caffeine-free.

I love being able to share what I’m currently obsessing over. If you like these kinds of posts, let me know in the comments. I can make this a monthly series, and just maybe you’ll just find your new obsession too!

xo,
Ashley
