Obsessions:
TV Series: Wentworth
I heard about this Australian series through a friend who said it was "10 times better than Orange Is The New Black" and I thought "Whoa, that's quite a statement". So I tried it. The first episode was setting up the series and having just watched season 3 of Orange, it was a little different since it's a drama not a dramady. Then I watched the second episode. WHOA. My friends statement turned into a complete understatement. Wentworth is 100 TIMES BETTER than Orange Is The New Black. Seriously. We've blitzed through almost all 3 seasons on Netflix this month and the first episode of season 3 is probably one of the best hours of television I have ever seen. I was actually breathless. I can't say enough amazing things about this series except, WATCH IT!
Song: "Nintendo" by Todd Carey
This is another perfect example of why I love Twitter. Todd Carey (@toddcarey) started following me on Twitter this month and just like with all my followers, I check out their profile and see what they do. I was completely intrigued by his single's title "Nintendo" and gave it a listen. FANTASTIC single. It's radio play ready and I honestly believe if it made it on the radio, it would be a hit. It was an immediate buy on iTunes. 
Celebrity: Amy Schumer
I find myself loving on Amy Schumer. She's a breath of fresh air in this world obsessed with looks rather then personalities. She's witty, she's funny and she's just herself, which is beautiful.
Product: Clinique Redness Solutions Line
Leave it to Clinique to create THE BEST products out for skin redness. Living in the damn cold Canadian climate and having rosacea (a chronic skin condition that causes dryness and redness) makes for one red face many times during the year. Not only do these products help keep my (very dry) face moisturised but they cover up the redness, take away the itching and they manage to stay on my face even in VERY hot weather. The products I use are: Soothing Cleanser, Mild Clarifying Lotion, Daily Relief Cream, Daily Protective Base SPF 15, Superprimer Color Corrector, Liquid Makeup, and Instant Relief Mineral Pressed Powder. If you are looking for something to help cover the redness, look no further.
Depressions:
Event: 3D Movies
I am SO over 3D movies. I hate the fact that every time I want to see a movie, it's playing in 3D every hour of the day but when a girl wants to see her bestie minion friends (on opening weekend, no less) she either has to go at 11:40 in the morning or 9:40 at night. Ridiculous. I'm over the headache I get when I watch 3D movies, I'm over paying extra money to watch 3D movies, I'm over wearing 3D glass OVER my regular glasses and I'm over the fact that the 3D movies get better playing times.
Item: Non-pop bubble wrap
Sealed Air Corp (the makers of bubble wrap) are releasing a new type of bubble wrap later this year that WON'T pop when you squeeze it. Apparently because the new product will be flat, it will be more efficient to ship. Seriously people, screw efficiency. Popping bubble wrap is therapeutic and awesome. Childhoods have been built on this stuff and there's even an app for that. The day you can no longer pop bubble wrap, will be a sad day for the world.
