WO: Weekly Obsessions
Well, well, well. This week is markedly better, if not simply for the fact that it’s not last week.
Oh and possibly because I’ve been able to reprioritize some things and also take a step back to look beyond my ever-so-rare temper tantrum to just… breathe.
And celebrate. Why? Because the biggest project I’ve worked on in nearly 10 years is LIVE and needs your votes!

It could be my packed personal and professional lives or the fact that Iām just coming out of a Benadryl fog, but hump day came way too quickly this week. Hereās hoping the next few hundred words are somewhat coherent š
Ā 
- Dita Von Teese: The queen of burlesque brought her āStrip, Strip Hooray!ā show to SF this week, and I had the pleasure of going last night. From jewel-encrusted lingerie to breathtaking choreography and a hilarious emcee, it did not disappoint. My only note would be to get balcony seats next time, for the best view of a spectacular show.
- Baseballās Back: Iām a little late to the game (ha!) on this one, but Iām pumped for the return of Americaās pastime. Bonus: We have a teambuilding outing at tomorrowās game, and I canāt wait to be back in the bleachers of AT&T Park. Disclaimer: Iām still ā first and foremost ā a Yankees fan. But I have local pride and will support the Giants so long as theyāre not in the World Series against the Yanksā¦ because then itās a win-win-win anyway.
- Calm: I have a confession, you guys: I have a hard time relaxing. I know, I know āĀ youāre shocked. This meditation app has helped me over the past month or so to focus for 10ā20 minutes a day on just being. Meditation wasnāt really my thing, but Iām sufficiently hooked and enjoying the practice of letting things go.
- āLet It Goā āĀ James Bay:Ā (Speaking of) Not to be confused with the impossible-to-escape Frozen soundtrack, this song simply touches my heart and is a clear, calming reminder of love lost. Iām a little biased since Iām seeing him in concert Friday night, but I think youāll like this oneā¦ maybe even more than āHold Back the River.ā

Iām sure you guys are still coming down from the high of yesterdayās whirlwind Wittyburg jamboree. Amirite? Not to worry, thereās still plenty to celebrate today!
Ā
- National Dessert Day: Yesterday was apparently āTreat Yourself Day,ā which is perfect timing for todayās National Dessert Day festivities. Whether youāre celebrating with cupcakes, cookies, brownies, tarts or all of the above, just remember your dear friend Wittyburg loves peanut butter and chocolate treats š
- Spring: This beautiful shopping app is a newfound fave of mine. From the clean interface and simple filter options to the seemingly endless breadth of selections, I have a feeling I will soon be giving alllll my monies to the Spring fashion gods.
- This Commercial: Itās not often a commercial can make me cry (unless itās from Publix, because theyāre emotional terrorists). The last company I expected to have a successfully heartwarming as was Extra gum, but just you watch and tell me it doesnāt get you in all the feels.
- āStand by Youā ā Rachel Platten: The queen of āFight Songā has done it again ā another earworm of a hit I just canāt stop singing. The sweet lyrics and sweeping melodies help ensure its status as her next megahit. Bravo, girl!

It’s been one of the craziest workweeks ever (didn’t I say that last time?), so I’m honestly just proud of myself for knowing it’s Wednesday.
Doesn’t matter that someone corrected me, when I made a “Throwback Thursday” reference at 9 a.m.
Moving on.
- Mint: This app is perfect for someone who tracks their budget and bills in their brain, but could use a helpful reminder of spending habits and upcoming payments. Hint: That someone is me.
- Bartlett Hall: A friend and I ventured to this swanky spot the other night, and despite some of the offbeat clientele, the drinks and service were on point.
- Magz Visits!: My mom gets into town Friday for a weeklong visit, and I couldnāt be more excited for some BFF time š Sheāll take this city by storm, so stay tuned for a very inspired WO next week.
- āClassicā ā MKTO: What girl doesnāt want to hear that sheās shining like a 5th Avenue diamond? These guys wanna thrill you like Michael and kiss you like Prince. Iām sold.

Itās been seven days and 3,000 miles since my last post, and all I can say is PHEWWW.
Remind me again whose idea it was to move across the country? Oh, right. Mine.
In the spirit of my new city, here are four fairly random finds that should, if nothing else, bring a smile to your face:
- Hey Girl: My team here knows me all too well, and decorated my desk with plenty of Gosling memes to keep me motivated. Bravo, guys.
- Virgin America: I hadnāt flown with this airline previously, but they really helped make the trek more comfortable. Interactive screens + friendly staff + a fun safety video = sign me up.
- Uber: Another lifesaver lately is Uber, an app I rarely used in NYC but find myself relying on here. You can summon a driver, schedule your own pickup and arrival, and pay ā all through the app. Itās almost too convenient.
- āShake It Offā ā Taylor Swift: I hate, hate, hate that I love this song. But itās so damn catchy and I canāt seem to get it outta my head! When the world seems against you ā¦ just shake it off, shake it off.
