Two whole avocados a week isn't all that much. I each at least that much at one sitting every time I make guacamole. It's true they have about seventeen thousand calories, but at least they're loaded with vitamins and other good stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick/page/2#post-833186 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:53:01 +0000 Janet 833186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, my other food kick, I almost forgot!</p> <p>Peppermint patties. I don't even really love mint flavored things, but I love me some York peppermint patties. I usually buy a bag of them for each of my open studio days (along with other snacks), but I think I'm going to try not getting them, because if there are any left over, I MUST eat them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick/page/2#post-833184 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:50:03 +0000 Janet 833184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definitely on a few kicks right now. Winter seems to do that to me. Yesterday I made myself wear a dress (the stripey B44) because I've been on a relentless jeans and booties kick and my skirts and dresses have been languishing. We had some sloppy weather here last week too, so I've been on a rugged boot kick. </p> <p>I've also been on a repeat watching kick of the entire (so far) series of Breaking Bad. I read something about the upcoming season, and it made me curious to go back and re-watch all the episodes from the beginning. It's been really interesting to catch nuances and foreshadowing that were not apparent on first viewing. </p> <p>Foodwise, I've been on an avocado kick for months now. I probably eat two whole avocados a week, if not more. I don't know why, I've always liked them (Mmmm guacamole), but I now crave them. Peanut butter too. I confess that on more than one occasion when I get home and it's just me having dinner alone, I'll just slap together a PB&amp;J sandwich and I'm perfectly happy with that. I think my peanut butter consumption has increased by about 500% since I started running! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick/page/2#post-832450 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:03:52 +0000 nancylee 832450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! Like Suz and many others who are enduring snowy winters, I'm wearing a lot of skinnies/straight leg denim with tall boots right now. It works and it's easy!</p> <p>Clothing, food, tv, movies....I definitely get on kicks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832414 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:38:55 +0000 MsMary 832414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, TV jags! Mr. K and I just finished binge-watching two seasons of "Downton Abbey" in two weekends and love it! And my BFF and I stayed up all night and watched somthing like 15 episodes of "Once Upon a Time" a few weeks ago. BIG FUN!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832321 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:57:28 +0000 Jyoti 832321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All. the. time.</p> <p>I'm on a mint and black kick myself. All my purchases lately have been black, unless of course they were mint. xD</p> <p>I've been wearing lots of leggings and loose tops lately, but I feel like this might be because I've been traveling and its been cold, and leggings+something is a super easy and comfy outfit, and appropriate for many things. xD </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832315 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:51:46 +0000 Anonymous 832315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hold on, Mo ... you're supposed to slowly enjoy a bag of cookies? What do you mean by "slowly?" Does scarfing them down in 2 hours count? I think it should, because I could probably eat them a lot faster than that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832312 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:47:43 +0000 Mo 832312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do eat the same breakfast every day but I crave variety otherwise, in my food, music, clothing. I actually err on the other side of not wearing something out and like to dole slowly.<br /> I kidded the BF this week about our backlog of Justified episodes in the Tivo queue. He wanted to barrel through all of them in a massive marathon. I wanted to watch one or two at a time, slowly working through them. I told him to think of them like a bag of cookies, and to enjoy them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832298 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:20:34 +0000 Aziraphale 832298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP, with a nearly full-term pregnancy, I'd say you get a free pass to wear and eat just about anything you like! Whether it's a fallback outfit or not, if you can manage to look cute at that stage of pregnancy, you're doing great. (I certainly did not manage it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832266 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:35:35 +0000 goldenpig 832266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am getting kind of lazy--always reaching for my new FFBO of sweater, stretchy skirt and booties! It takes a lot of effort to be creative when you're 8.5 months pregnant and it's chilly outside.</p> <p>Current food jag (insert bag over head smiley)--Taco Bell crunchy tacos. And Arby's roast beef sandwiches, although there are no Arby's for 30 miles around so I can only get them when we are travelling. I blame it on pregnancy cravings (convenient excuse). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832231 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:01:09 +0000 MsMary 832231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christianne, it's awesome. It's the Maruchan brand in the green package. We like to add a small handful of sliced shitake mushrooms and half a sliced green onion per package. Yum.</p> <p>I just realized I've been on a red-plaid-scarf jag the past few days, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832217 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:48:49 +0000 christieanne 832217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do it too and have decided that in this unpredictable crazy world, those routines are just me exercising a little control where I can. The term "comfort food" comes to mind. But it's comfort dressing (in most cases not referring to pjs!) and reading and music.<br /> And it's good! </p> <p>My comfort food of late is pumpkin soup with spicy peanut sauce. It takes the chill off the day. I want to try MaryK's ramen now though...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832197 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:35:06 +0000 Isabel 832197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh, absolutely !! Just like our emotions are not static, our clothes and preferences are not. Last year, after I discovered how to wear skinnies and tunics...I went NUTS. If Martians landed on Earth and saw me for a month or two, they would think that there was no other silhouette on Earth. Enjoy it. That is all that matters.</p> <p>PS Last night I was thinking, I have TOO many tunics. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832188 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:27:47 +0000 lynne 832188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad to know I'm not alone. My husband kids me about my food kicks especially. I'll eat the same thing for lunch for a month, then be uninterested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832181 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:21:01 +0000 deb 832181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really bad about this. I do it in restaurants. I have favorite dishes in different restaurants and when I go that is all I order. Very predictable. Cuttently, I am on a skinny and long top jag, like Una. Cannot get enough of them. Even ordered short sleeved hi/low tee's to transition into spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-832166 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:08:36 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 832166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I ever not on a kick would be a better question. I'll read book series over and over again (Harry Potter right now), eat the same thing every day until I can't stand to look at it anymore (pistachios for the past few weeks). I used to do crossword puzzles every day, did that for a year or more and now I don't even look at them. I used to put artichoke hearts on everything - pizza, sandwiches, salads - now don't even want them. Fashion wise, I was really into oxford flats and vests last month, this month it's been skinny pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831942 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:15:29 +0000 rute 831942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do this all the time, some times all I want is jeans, others dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831937 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:03:23 +0000 jayne 831937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my current kick is dark slacks/jeans, top, blazer. Which I return to every so many years. I try and break out, but I come back again and again. I right now I cannot seem to wear anything other than one pair of booties, despire having many winter options. </p> <p>On the internet, I am on a recipe finding obsession...cannot have enough recipes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831728 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:30:39 +0000 Aziraphale 831728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like I'm in good company! I never really thought of it as a formula, but I guess that's what it is. </p> <p>What kick are you on right now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831702 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:19:28 +0000 TraceyLiz65 831702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do it a lot with food and with music! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831684 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:06:17 +0000 Jaime 831684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often go on clothes kicks and author kicks and the rest of my life is, as Suz said, full of routines that last even longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831683 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:03:14 +0000 Suz 831683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. I do it, too. Sometimes it's not really a kick or a jag...it's a routine. Like I eat the same salad for lunch almost every day. I guess the analog to that is an outfit formula. I definitely have formulas for my work-at-home days. For current weather: skinny jeans or pants tucked into boots (not a lemming thing...it's the snow) and a sweater layered over a shirt or T, sometimes with scarf. I vary it a little more if I am going out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831626 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:08:41 +0000 lyn* 831626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on a dot kick right now - and I'm soooo pumped there are SO MANY TYPES OF POLKADOTS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831589 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:43:48 +0000 rachylou 831589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely. So far I'm resisting going back to H&amp;M and buying another t-shirt dress. I got this one in burgundy and I am loving it to death. </p> <p>On the food front: mushrooms and onion dip. </p> <p>Also, I'm working my way up for another round of silly self-help/inspirational/motivational audio. This time I'm thinking Vedic astrology. I just love hearing chipper voices. Sometimes HSN or QVC will do, if they do makeup. Hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831584 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:38:32 +0000 rae 831584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I love me a good outfit formula. Really simplifies life sometimes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831581 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:35:33 +0000 catgirl 831581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - my kick is skinnies, oversized sweaters and boots. But that makes sense in my climate... I can't even think of the last time I willingly wore a skirt. I am craving some trouser jeans, but that's not practical in winter here, sadly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831578 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:33:58 +0000 vipbrj 831578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone needs to break me of my "Long, loose top + skinny pants + tall wedge heel boots" kick. I need an intervention! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831572 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:28:59 +0000 MsMary 831572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the time, and not just with clothes. I call them "jags," like a toddler will go on a "food jag" and eat only one thing for weeks on end.</p> <p>Right now Mr. K and I are totally on a chili-flavored-ramen-noodles jag, after having them served to us in Business Class on Asiana Airways. It makes us feel like we're still on vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-get-on-a-kick#post-831568 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:25:06 +0000 Anonymous 831568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!! I'll have my fill of something and then ...

I have been eating the same salad for lunch for a couple days. </p>
