five things I’m obsessed with (right now)

Julie Deily · 27 Comments

1. the Instacube

Watch the video and tell me you don't want one. Okay, if you're not on instagram, you'll think I'm crazy but if you are, you love right?

I backed it on kickstarter after my friend, Josh told me about it. You can too (which means I will get one of the first ones that comes off of the assembly line in March)! It's an amazing site that I learned about from my friend, Jaden, where you can get your idea funded. She told me about this other project. It's amazing the community support that different projects are getting. The instacube was funded by the community in less than 4 days…that means they raised $250,000 in that time!!

2. these pancakes

OMG, you probably already know about my obsession with brown butter. These brown butter pancakes are out of this world!! We didn't have peaches to make the full recipe but next time I make them, I will!

3. making lists

I am always making lists and trying to organize them. I use this wonderful app called Evernote. It's free up so much uploads per month (I haven't topped it out yet) and you can go premium for $5 a month or $45 a year.

There's an iPhone app, Android app, web interface and a Mac app. I use it to organize my ideas for the blog, for blog posts, to do lists, so much. I know I haven't even scratched the surface of this app because you can take web snippets and even store images with notes. I have used it to store furniture ideas I see at IKEA, for example.

4. Songza

Another obsession that Jaden turned me on to…Songza a free online music listening service! Depending on what time of day, what you're doing, if you need to wake up or get pumped up to work out or work, there's a playlist for you. It's safe to say I'm obsessed with this. I'm currently trying to find a nice set of speakers so I can listen to Songa via my iPhone in the kitchen while I cook.

5. this video

Do you know this song? So the Cookie Monster version of Call Me Maybe is so much better! Ha…I'm not going to admit to how many times I have watched the above video. I'm sure I'm not the only one obsessed with it.

Okay, now it's your turn…what are you obsessed with right now or what are you liking a lot these days?

      I love this list! It’s my first time trying songza and I like it. That video is hilarious! I already took it and showed everyone in the house.

      I’m currently obsessed with
      1. Instagram
      2. Pixlr editing app on my phone and online- I didn’t realize it was so easy to use and powerful…love that I can use it to add filters on my pics and make collages online. If they made a download version I would be all over it.
      3. This music video, a cover of “Good Time” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tsz3RIJb0U
