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 Iâm just coming out of a Benadryl fog, but hump day came way too quickly this week. Hereâs hoping the next few hundred words are somewhat coherent đ
 
- Dita Von Teese: The queen of burlesque brought her âStrip, Strip Hooray!â 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.
- Baseballâs Back: Iâm a little late to the game (ha!) on this one, but Iâm pumped for the return of Americaâs pastime. Bonus: We have a teambuilding outing at tomorrowâs game, and I canât wait to be back in the bleachers of AT&T Park. Disclaimer: Iâm still â first and foremost â a Yankees fan. But I have local pride and will support the Giants so long as theyâre not in the World Series against the Yanks⌠because then itâs a win-win-win anyway.
- Calm: I have a confession, you guys: I have a hard time relaxing. I know, I know â youâre shocked. This meditation app has helped me over the past month or so to focus for 10â20 minutes a day on just being. Meditation wasnât really my thing, but Iâm sufficiently hooked and enjoying the practice of letting things go.
- âLet It Goâ â James Bay: (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. Iâm a little biased since Iâm seeing him in concert Friday night, but I think youâll like this one⌠maybe even more than âHold Back the River.â

Iâm sure you guys are still coming down from the high of yesterdayâs whirlwind Wittyburg jamboree. Amirite? Not to worry, thereâs still plenty to celebrate today!
Â
- National Dessert Day: Yesterday was apparently âTreat Yourself Day,â which is perfect timing for todayâs National Dessert Day festivities. Whether youâre celebrating with cupcakes, cookies, brownies, tarts or all of the above, just remember your dear friend Wittyburg loves peanut butter and chocolate treats đ
- 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: Itâs not often a commercial can make me cry (unless itâs from Publix, because theyâre emotional terrorists). The last company I expected to have a successfully heartwarming as was Extra gum, but just you watch and tell me it doesnât get you in all the feels.
- âStand by Youâ â Rachel Platten: The queen of âFight Songâ has done it again â another earworm of a hit I just canât 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 couldnât be more excited for some BFF time đ Sheâll take this city by storm, so stay tuned for a very inspired WO next week.
- âClassicâ â MKTO: What girl doesnât want to hear that sheâs shining like a 5th Avenue diamond? These guys wanna thrill you like Michael and kiss you like Prince. Iâm sold.

Itâs 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 hadnât 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 â all through the app. Itâs almost too convenient.
- âShake It Offâ â Taylor Swift: I hate, hate, hate that I love this song. But itâs so damn catchy and I canât seem to get it outta my head! When the world seems against you ⌠just shake it off, shake it off.
