Current Obsessions | January 2019

I feel like things were interested in change all the time, that our interest can often be seasonal, depending on our moods, the weather and what is going on in our lives! I sat down and compiled a small list of things that I am obsessing over right now. From simple, inexpensive things to accessories for myself and my truck. My list is no specific order- just listed as they came to my mind!
​

TRUCK CHAPSTICK!

What? Yes, "truck chapstick"! I literally have a trail of my favorite chapstick from one place to another. I have a "kitchen chapstick", a "bedside table chapstick", a "gym bag chapstick"... well I am sure you get the point! But, my most important chapstick is the tube or two in my truck consoles. Does anyone else have this problem? No? So, my husband is right- it is just me! Anyways, if any of these chapsticks get out of place, it throws me off, I pull one from another place, and then another from another place, and so forth. But, the "truck chapstick", other than the chapstick I keep in my locker at work, is quite possibly, the most important, more frequently used tube. I get in the truck, and instantly reach for it. Get to where I am going, and reach for it before getting out of the car. Sitting in traffic, put a layer of chapstick on! Okay- so, I might, have a slight chapstick problem. Oh, well. My favorite is Carmex- either in the tube or in the small little can, plain- no flavors! (YUK!) I generally purchase it in packs of three, You can get it here.

Right about now, your probably thinking- this chick is cray. And I might be, but I don't have dry lips! (insert laughing emoji) For real though, this list gets better- keep scrolling!

MUSIC!

Well, music is really an all the time obsession, for me and my house. Literally. We fight over what were going to listen to, who is going to control the music on car rides and so on. But, just like obsessions can be seasonal, so is our taste in music! Right now, my playlist consists of people like Cody Jinks, The Steel Woods, Tennessee Jet (these three are AWESOME live- if they come near you, go. see. them.We actually got to meet Steel Woods and Cody Jinks in October in Atlanta!). Also, some originals like Gregg Allman, Hank Williams JR. Then my playlist can get a little crazy- I love me some Post Malone and Drake, to name a few. Does anyone else's playlist look like this? I swear, mine is all over the place, but I love all kinds of music! I actually downloaded Amazon Music, I already pay for Prime, and it is included, so might as well use it- we love it. 

REALTRUCK.COM

Sooo... moment of truth- Nikki JUST told me about this site. She said it is one of her current obsessions- and I. SEE. WHY. It has everything. Well, not everything, but pretty dern close! Literally, there is so much to choose from. Currently, I want to put a set of nice seat covers on my King Ranch, it is a 2004, with captain chairs in the front. The seats are not bad at all, but the driver seat has a little wear and tear from getting in and getting out for fifteen, sixteen years now. I have tried and tried to baby it, but you know how that spot is! The choices on seat covers alone, is almost too many to deal with! You need to go check them out. They also, have an instagram, tell them Diesel Doll sent you!

TRUCK NIGHT IN AMERICA

Yep. I just listed, basically a reality television show on my obsession list. I know- kind of basic, but, whatever *throwing up my fingers into a 'W' shape*! Let me explain why I am slightly obsessed. First off, its filmed not far from my house, in Georgia. We ride fourwheelers and side by sides there all the time, and are hoping to attend the facilities Jeep event with my hub's cousin this year. Being that were really familiar with the grounds, it is really neat to see what they set up and do with the property for filming! Not to mention, I love seeing a woman come on the show and compete with the men and hold her own- win or loose! Also, there has been some pretty interesting diesel builds come on the show! The show comes on the History Channel! 

BAND T-SHIRTS

I might be late on the trend-wagon, but I honestly, don't care! I recently went through my husbands closet from when he lived with his dad, years ago before we got married. I threw out a ton of stuff, but I kept ALL of his concert tees. He had so many good ones! I also realized, he has been to way, way more concerts than I have. I kept them, and am adding them into my wardrobe as we speak! We are going to a concert in April and I am already planning my outfit. I'll post some links to some of my favorites below, they may not be exactly like the ones I rescued from the hubby's closet, but they are really close!

CAR SEAT PROTECTORS

This one is more for the parents or soon to be parents that are reading. Car seat protectors. If you have infants, toddlers, or small kids still in booster chairs in the car, these are a must. Whether you have leather, vinyl, or carpet seats, they need protecting. Kids alone are rough on our vehicles, but the car seats alone.... oh. lord. Come on! You know what I am talking about! You take the car seat out, to move it to another car, to vacuum the car to clean the car seat, and you see it- the lines the weight of the car seat has left on your car's seat. Makes my heart hurt just thinking about it! These are probably one of the best things I was given as a new mom, and have sense invested in more for other cars and for a second baby's car seat. They are easy to wipe down, easy to throw in the washer, easy to use, and their padded to take most of the weight from the car seat. But, most importantly, you can still get the car seat plenty tight to be safe for you little one! This one is my favorite, you can get it here!

Seeee? After my chapstick rant, this list totally got better, right? Right! This was really fun putting this list together!
