If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter,  then you already know all about this week's #CurrentObsession. Right now, I am all about this LuMee phone case, which has built in selfie lighting. Are you kidding me!? Who doesn't wish they had lights with them everywhere they go.

When I first head about LuMee, I thought it was a great concept, but it was not until I tried it that I realized just how amazing this case was. These lights are SO bright. I mean, if you need to light up a room for a picture, these will do the job. I find myself being able to use this phone case as studio lighting when recording simple videos.

 The case itself fits great and is pretty comfortable. While it does add a little bulk, it is not too noticeable, and feels the same as a battery case. If you can deal with that trade-off for the perfect selfie, this is the case for you.

I have even been able to take selfies outside at midnight, and the photos came out great. Believe it or not, the case can even help during the day by distributing light more evenly across your face.  

Check out some of my LuMee selfies below featuring Luke Bilyk of Degrassi, singer/songwriter Dylan Bernard, Drake Bell from Drake and Josh , social media star Maggie Lindemann, and actress Angelina Marie. Be sure to grab yourself a case at www.lumeecase.com.

In the store one of them picked up a scarf and said "Will they like this? Do you think they will buy this?"

Yes bitch, thats why I woke my black ass up at 8 am and drove 10 miles here.

The only things left were a few XL a L apparel items, iphone 6 phone cases, a few hats, and most of the outdoor collection. I was decided between a hat, these sandals and a beach towel.

Welp, meet my Lilly Pulitzer pineapple summer sandals! I honestly didn't need anything crazy sooo it might be better if I buy it when these "resellers" try to return it all!

DID YOU BUY LILLY FOR TARGET?

CHEERS 

LOVE, MARA

I know this video is a couple days old, but I just can't get it out of my head, so I had to share it. Jennifer Hudson stopped by The Late Late Show with James Corden, for a short segment of Carpool Karaoke.

This is the second time he has done this segment, and I love it! He did it first with Mariah Carey, which was fun to watch, but Jennifer Hudson's segment was way more fun and interactive in my opinion.

I can't wait to see who he has next!

Sometimes I find that one obsession will lead to another, and that is exactly what happened this week. I told you last week that I was obsessing over the FOX series Empire, and now this week I am obsessing with one of the actresses/recording artists from the show.

Her name is Veronika Bozeman and she is amazing! Check out her video for "What Is Love," which is actually from Empire. I am just obsessed with her voice. It is so beautiful, passionate, and raw. Not many artists can portray emotion in the way that Veronika does. You know it's real music when you can't help but make a stank face when you listen to it. 

If you haven't heard of Veronika before, and you watch the video above, I apologize because you will spend the next hour or so watching all of her live performances and music videos. No need to thank me.
