Do you ever become absolutely OBSESSED with an item/product/service/food/whatever and just can’t get enough of it? As in, you research everything about it, then you notice anything that it has to do with, and overall just stalk the living daylights out of it?
Hopefully I don’t have to remind you at this point in the conversation that people stalking is bad. Well, unless it’s like… Theo James. Then it’s ok, right?!
I kid. I kid. Even if I wanted to I just don’t have the time to put in that kind of effort into anything that isn’t my family, blog, or shop related.
