Things I Can't Live Without

I was thinking about things I really couldn't live without, things that I use/need every week and wanted to share with you some of my obsessions!

  1. Kookaburra is my absolute favorite candy - I always keep a bag of Darrell Lea in my desk - while I can easily consume the whole bag... I typically restrain myself to 2-3 pieces a day.  If you haven't tried Kookaburra (Australian Licorice) I suggest you get up, put your sandals on and head to the store immediately - you won't be disappointed.
  2. Red Nails.  I get a manicure about once a week and everytime I'm standing in front of the polish display I'm always drawn to a bold red - my favorite is Essie's Fifth Avenue.  It is the perfect mix of red with a touch of orange it is often the final touch needed to complete the perfect outfit.
  3. Cashmere Blankets- working for a cashmere company for 5 years I acquired quite a bit of cashmere (I know, poor me!) especially cashmere blankets.  They are the perfect weight to cuddle up on a breezy night and dress up any couch - not to mention the soft, buttery feeling of it against your skin.... ahhh
  4. Skippy Crunchy Peanut butter - literally eat at least a spoonful every day... how can you not enjoy the crunchy smooth taste of peanut butter.  It always seems to hit the spot! 
  5. Fresh Flowers are on my desk every week.  Working in a cubicle, the environment can be nothing short of drab, boring, plain - need I go on?  A vase filled with flowers is an instant way to spruce up your desk and help Monday be a little less painful - who can't smile at a gorgeous flower?
  6. Marley is my ultimate obsession.  How could you not love waking up to that face?  He is quite the character typically howling while waiting for his morning breakfast.  When not seen eating, he is usually seen with either a tennis ball in his mouth or his soft soccer ball in which he sucks to sleep as his pacifier... I told you he had personality.
What are your must haves?!
