Fantasy Football, My Old Digi Cam, and 2 iPad Games | Obsessions Week 37
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 somehow September 10th. I don’t know how/why that happened, but I firmly believe September is still a summer month (and you can quote me on that) so I will still be indulging in summer reads on the beach and soaking up the sun until further notice.
I’m back with another edition of Obsessions. ICYMI: back in March, I started a series on Instagram where I asked my followers what their current obsessions were (inspo from the podcast Obsessed with Brooke, ily). I’ve continued the tradition just about every week since then, and I’ve loved seeing responses ranging from hair care products to tv recommendations to hyperfixation meals.
I love to yap so an IG story is not enough for me to fully get into my own obsessions, so we’re sharing them here. My intention is weekly but we all know I’m bad at sticking to a schedule. Here’s what has been on my brain this week!
📖 Kindle + Summer Reading List
As I mentioned above, it’s still summer for me and I have friends joining me at the shore this weekend for a girls weekend so I’m continuing my summer reading list thankyouverymuch! Here’s an update on my reading list:
Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe
This Summer Will Be Different by Carly Fortune
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood
Not In Love by Ali Hazelwood
One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin
Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez
Wedding People by Alison Espach (currently reading)
Funny Story by Emily Henry
Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan
Before you get on me for not reading the new EmHen yet, I knowwwww… I’ve just been saving it because I don’t want it to be over LOL. It’s going to be my next read after Wedding People, I promise!
🌊 Energy Drinks on the Beach
Speaking of the beach, my new fav thing is bringing a Celsius or an Alani down with me to sip on while I read! It’s great because it keeps me from wanting to take a nap instead of reading my book LOL.
📸 Digi Cam Photos
In a shocking turn of events, the vlog camera I purchased 8 years ago is the new “it camera” of today. I brought it out to take photos and I’m obsessssssed. They give you the perfect no filter filtered look where you’re just glowy and I love it. Still playing with the settings but the key is keeping flash on always! Makes me so glad I purchased it when I did because they’re double the price now… yikes.
🛒 Hobonichi Order
I “unboxed” my Hobonichi order on TikTok this week! I’m sticking with the regulars that I love and enjoy using. I grabbed a Weeks in the Pistachio color and a regular old Cousin after trying out the HON this year. Check out the vid for more ~thoughts~ on my 2025 lineup!
🍿 TV Shows
Background show: SATC. Does it hold up? Absolutely not. Do I love it because it’s like a 90s/00s time capsule for better or worse? 100%.
With Ryan: Love is Blind UK (not caught up so no spoilers please!) and we just finished Claim to Fame. That show is batshit. I can’t believe it ended the way it did LOL. I want to see Adam on the Traitors next, I think it would make for incredible television.
🏈 Fantasy Football
I’m playing Fantasy Football for the 3rd year in a row! I honestly love it, it makes football season more bearable and fun. Ryan and I started a couples league and it has been fun to play with friends and a mix of guys and girls!
🕹️ iPad Games
I feel like I may have brought this up before but I am so obsessed with the iPad game Township. I’ve actually never played Farmville, but I feel like it has that vibe. It’s so much fun. I highly recommend it if you need a “brain break” type of game during the workday or while you’re watching TV. It’s so good.
I also have been introduced to Good Pizza, Great Pizza which is my current obsession. This one needs a bit more focus so I can’t really do anything else while playing it but trust me, it’s a great time. Does have me craving pizza more than normal though, haha.
I’m grateful to you for reading this! If you feel like supporting me extra in my side quests, I do have the paid subscriber option up on here… no pressure though! Till next time… 💖
