Candy Salad, Vision Boards, and Sustainable Movement | Obsessions Week 1 & 2
My turn to share with the class! Continuing my Instagram series with a special segment on Substack. Here's everything I've been obsessed with this past week.
Welcome back to Girl’s Girl, this is Kayla, and it is 2025?! I hope you all had a relaxing start to the new year and are trying not to let the thought of reinventing yourself in the new year get to you too much.
I was in my friend Logan’s spin class last night and she talked about realizing that you’re worthy right now of everything you want in life. You don’t have to reinvent yourself, change anything about you, to live the life you desire. Something to think about as we start the new year <3
I took a break from chatting Obsessions both here and on my stories toward the end of the year… I was kind of in a funky place mentally and with social media so I guess it makes sense I went introvert. Anyway, I’m hoping to make this a more regular segment here on Substack and my intent is so keep it super casual. Without further ado, here’s what has been on my brain this week!
🍭 My First Candy Salad
I know I’m late to the game but wow what an enjoyable experience going to the store and buying all your favorite gummy candy and mixing it all into one giant bowl. More fun “salads” 2K25. I had never had gummy Skittles before this and they were lowkey my favorite. They tasted exactly like normal Skittles but a different texture. Wild!

✨ Vision Board Parties/Girly Craft Hangs
My friend Amanda has become queen of the girlypop hangouts and I couldn’t be more grateful. She has hosted some really cutesy craft nights at her cozy home and this past weekend she held a vision board party which was tons of fun! We all brought stickers and various craft paraphernalia and we had a great time with the Eras Tour Film playing in the background.
🎥 Rewatching Old Movies
I watched 32 movies in December (one almost every day!) and I have kept up the trend so far this month! I love keeping movies I’ve already seen on in the background while I work and it makes for a cozier vibe in the evenings during these dark & cold winter months. So far I’ve rewatched some greats: Cheaper by the Dozen (1 & 2), My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, She’s the Man, and Booksmart to name a few. I’m setting my sights on the Princess Diaries films this week and perhaps some Hilary Duff classics too. Follow me on Letterboxd for more exquisite film taste
🍕 Good Pizza, Great Pizza
This is my current iPad game hyperfixation! It’s super fun and I just heard that they are coming out with a similar game next month called Good Coffee, Great Coffee… cannot wait to play that one. Fair warning it takes a bit of brain power and focus but I honestly think it’s improving my working memory so I’m thinking of it as brain teaser vibes lol.
🧘🏼♀️ Sustainable Movement
I’ve been having a lot of thoughts surrounding exercise lately and I finally feel like I’m finding some joy in working out again. It has taken me a while to get back to a healthy/fun place when it comes to working out and I’m glad I’m going into 2025 with a renewed sense of peace and joy in this habit. More thoughts written in my Instagram story, below.
