Brieanna Canady

Lomography

“It’s a new-ish type of photography where you can manipulate film and make it look all kinds of ‘artsy’.”

Blistex Medicated Lip Balm with SPF 15

“I really love a good chapstick. I’ve tried several different types in my day, but non seem to compare to my Blistex Medicated Lip Balm with SPF 15. I absolutely love it! This little treat brings instant moisture to my chapped lips and leaves them feeling silky, smooth, and wanting to smile. I’m obsessed!

Whitney Bowers

“Deeply in Love” nail polish from Nicole (by O.P.I)

“I just love this shade of red and thought it was the perfect color to celebrate this past Christmas with! I love painting my nails, especially with OPI polish because they have such cool names!”

Kirsten Wilson

Cross-stitching

“I got a kit and I am hooked. However, it is very time consuming. I probably should have gotten a smaller kit but hey, I’m very ambitious.”

Jenny Davell

Sharpie Pens

“I’m obsessed with Sharpie pens because I draw my notes in class. This way my notes are always colorful, creative, and fun to study.”

- Available in a 4-pack from Office Depot for $6.99.

Jessica Carniol

Food Network

“Ok, so this is embarrassing…I am twenty-one years old and obsessed with…the Food Network! At my apartment we don’t have cable, so whenever I go to my fiancé’s house, my parent’s house, or anywhere with cable this is the first station I turn to. I could sit for hours watching the cooking genius of Emeril Lagasse, Rachael Ray, or Bobby Flay at work. Whether they are showing me how to cook a meal in under 30 minutes or battling for culinary distinction in Iron Chef, I will be sitting there, eyes glued to the television, with my mouth salivating and my stomach grumbling. My name is Jessica Carniol, it has been 9 hours since I last watched Food Network, I am obsessed.”

Leslie Hunt

Woodwick Candles

“Every girl loves candles. Lets face it, we are all suckers for a pretty color and a good smell. About a year ago I heard about these candles that were made with woodwicks so they make a crackling sound similar to wood burning. I admit, I was swayed into getting one, but who knew I would love it so much! My roommates and I must have 30 in our apartment! (Don’t worry, not burning at the same time!) I highly suggest checking these candles out. You won’t be disappointed!”

- Available at Cracker Barrel, between $14-18.

Miranda Canady

Secret Family Recipes

“One of the most thoughtful Christmas gifts I received this year came in a package from a friend – hand-made recipe cards of all her mom’s “secret” recipes. I have since made it my personal mission to collect all of these signature recipes from family and friends. My Nana’s stuffed celery? My aunt’s caramel apple cheesecake? My friend’s grandma’s spritz cookies? Check check check! It has been a fun “obsession” because later on when I make the recipes I think of the family and friends that gave them to me.”

Kerri Porter

Jason Mraz

“My recent obsession: Jason Mraz. I really don’t know very much about this talented singer, except that his voice is constantly playing on my IPOD. His voice is smooth and his songs are catchy. I especially like “Butterfly” and “Dynamo of Volition” off of his newest CD. He is worthy of being my Obsession for the month.”

- We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” available on itunes for $11.99, individual songs available for $1.29.

Lindsay Meyers

Gingerbread Lattes

“I thought they sounded so gross but they are soooooo good! “

Nicole Buckingham

Trivia

“Maybe it’s just my nerdy side coming out, but I’m obsessed with trivia! My friend recently introduced me to sporcle.com which is a quiz site with every topic imaginable. I also love making up games/activities and we’ve been using trivia for a lot of youth group games lately.”

Kristi Rabenhorst

Headbands with large flowers or bows

“Super Cute with a capital S. Easy to use and changes your hairstyle in an instant. Upon first sight I was hooked; however, that doesn’t meant it didn’t take some time to get up the guts to actually wear one of the huge flowers. Since I don’t live around my friends anymore, I no longer have the encouragement or affirmation when trying something new like that.  You try wearing a big ol’ bow on the side of your head to Christmas dinner with your future in-laws! Nonetheless, even amidst all the questions and teasing I get for these huge headbands, I am obsessed. “

- Satin Bow Headband available at Forever21 for $4.80.

Burt’s Bees Products

“I am obsessed with Burts Bees. Not only are their products all natural but they work so well and  smell fantastic!! Their chapstick is an essential to any girls daily routine.  The peppermint and rosemary shower gel fills the air with a sweet peppermint smell that I find very relaxing. It’s very reasonably priced which is the icing on the cake for me!”
