Hey Girls Hey!
So last week, I was going through my blog reader (as I do on the daily) and I stumbled on this hilarious post by Miss Blair's Head Band. I mean how genius is that blog name? Plus she's an Alpha Delta Pi so that automatically makes her awesome in my book. Anyways go read her Over It List to see what inspired today's post.
Here is the definition in her words..
"What is an OIL, you ask? It is an itemized rundown of things that, upon
seeing/hearing/tasting them, you want to scream, "I AM OVER IT. ENOUGH. WE ARE
DONE HERE." Oversaturation and overkill are the name of the game."
I also stole this GIF from her because it's perfect.. and I'm unusually excited for this season of The Real Housewives to come back on Bravo.
Sami's Over It List
one. The Presidential Election
Let's get this shit on the road shall we? People act crazy during elections!
two. The Paleo Diet
I mean I'm no health-nut (clearly) but not only do I not understand what this diet is.. I'm so sick of seeing "Paleo" versions of things with a million weird ingredients.
three. Outfits made up entirely of J.Crew purchases
I personally am not a fan of J.Crew, but it doesn't so much bother me to see it ALL OVER blog land.. until you are wearing head-to-toe J.Crew and the only reason I know this is because you told me. Otherwise, I would have assumed half of it was from Old Navy where I buy the same thing for 1/4 of the price.
four. Jessica Biel and her pink Wedding dress
Self-explanatory.
five. TMI on Twitter
You don't have to tweet about everything, there's a reason I'm not on Facebook. If you are trying to summarize any type of bodily function into 140 characters.. I'm gonna need you to just stop.
six. Honey Boo Boo
It was kind of funny/cute until these people started getting paid 1000's of dollars to act like idiots and eat butter and ketchup. It's just wrong.
seven. More than 3 hashtags on Instagram
Anything more and it's just overkill. When I see 20 hashtags I just laugh and keep scrolling.
eight. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
They're honestly perfect for each other (I mean think about it) so I no longer care that they are together or if they get married. Irrelevant.
nine. Twilight
Yes, I've read all of the books and yes I'll see the last movie but I'm not nearly as pumped about it as I was for all of the others. It's probably because I still think of K.Stew as a homewrecker even though R.Patz took her back.
ten. Crazy Bloggers
Oh how I wish I could name names, but that wouldn't be very nice. Just a little advice.. Before you freak out about something on all forms of social media, think about how you would react if you saw someone else writing the same thing. I do this often and it works like a charm!
Things already mentioned in her post that I totes agree with: Bubble Necklaces, Chevron, Pumpkin Spice, Rufus Humphrey, and Call Me Maybe
What are you over?
Leave it in the comments!
Have a great day!

LOL about the J. Crew. So, so true. In fact, I'm wearing the polka dot chambray shirt lookalike from Old Navy right now. Thank you, $20. :)
I LOVE this post!!! :) Everything you mentioned is SO TRUE!
Yes, yes and yes. Except for the Paleo comment - I kinda do that. SOOOOOOO.....But not to the full extent. : )
As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and I'm BLUSHIN girl :) I love your list, too!!!!
Pi love ;) <>
this is great. seriously perfect. I love it and agree with it all. thank you for this. love it
Er mer garsshhh Sami, why are you suchhhh a baysh?!
Jay kay... I still want to boink R. Patz and play vampire with him so obvi I will be with you in seeing that movie. #followgram #instafunny #blonde #happy #catlife #loveyourface #bye
This.was.awesome. Earlier when I did my "what I'm NOT obsessing about" post I was so nervous about posting, but we ALL are entitled to our opinions!!
So FIRST OFF? Loooooooove the "ENOUGH!!" Taylor GIF. Hilar.
Secondly... YES to JCrew. I waltzed in there earlier this fall and almost died of sticker shock. I remember when JCrew was semi-affordable. I'm not gonna lie, there are things that I just WILL NOT spend that much money on!! And you're spot on about it looking like Old Navy clothes, haha!
And YES to Call Me Maybe. My dance instructor plays that song almost every class and I just GROOOOOOOOOOAN to myself. I'm over it. I had to google this Rufus character. And I'm glad that I never bought into the bubble necklace fad. That was a SUPER quick fad!!
girl spot on.
i would watch Taylor say "enough" all damn day. oh silly girl.
the diets - god yes. i love me some food. in any shape or form. lol.
happy thursday pretty girl!!
LOL...I have to agree with on the Twilight one. I'm going to see the movie but I still hate K Stew. She's gross. And I am SICK of hearing about the election!!!!!
You are speaking my mind with that list. I have to agree 100% on almost all of it. J.Crew? I don't own a single piece from it, whoops. Let's talk how I am over ALL wedding talk about JT and Biel - who caaaares. The election? I'm counting days, I.can't.hear.about.it.anymore.
Great post!
Love this list!! I can think of a few things I would put on my very own OIL!
This is GREAT! I totally agree with every point, especially 1, 3 & 6!!
Hilarious!
What is with all of the hashtags on Instagram? Is it a scream for attention? I don't even know.
Drives me nuts.
I'm over every other season of Real Housewives and I'm SO EXCITED FOR Beverley Hills.
I'm going to bring the recaps back.
I am soo tired if people acting superior because they are on the Paleo diet. I am also over all pink wedding dresses. I'm actually just over vampires in general. I think they've over-saturated the market.

So funny, I made a dish last week that was pinned as paleolasagna and I was like "paleo what? because this is just squash instead of lasagna noodles, and a lot of veggies." Paleo whatever, does not compute.
I'm over:
-Jessica Simpson's weight as a magazine article
This might be the best list of all time.
My favorite? Honey Boo Boo. hahahaha
Yes to all.
Except for Pumpkin spice. I haven't had that yet. Or watched Honey Boobs. Never read Twilight. I do, however have a bubble necklace in every color- have never worn.
I need to jump on a bandwagon or two now.
I'm sick of ombré. And 12 years olds saying "YOLO". And barn weddings.
But leave colored pants out of it. I want another couple of years with my mint skinnies!
This list...amazing! I cant handle any more election talk {as long as people know they need to VOTE!}, can't believe the ridic salary HoneyBooBoo&Co get to be nothing but themselves, and i'm afraid the worst of the Twilight craze is coming in the next couple of weeks. Ugh!
My list would also include grad school and dreary weather {Sandy needs to gitouttamyhouse and let the sunshine come back! it's supposed to happen today, finally!}
Hope you're feeling better and enjoyed Halloween! Happy Thursday =)

I hate bubble necklaces
Chevron is so trendy
PSL gross
Fallness
Blogs that all look and read the same
Sponsors....
I LERV everything about this post!
Great post, I love this.
I am ALSO over 50 hashtags in an instagram picture. It isn't twitter.
I am over Hunter Boots
I am over Anon commenters
I am over October (good thing, because it is over)
I am a JCrew-aholic. Still like me? haha. In my defense, as much as I love Old Navy some of their clothing doesn't fit me right and it's zoo frustrating to love a dress/skirt/shorts and not have them fit!! I love Jcrew because the I have to buy work clothing that can double as regular life clothing other wise I'd be in a whole lot of debt and the clothes last long and fit me just right. So there is my excuse for wearing head-to-toe JCrew. I am so over Honey Boo Boo, was over it after the 1st episode!! And I agree about Twilight...I think because they took too long in making the films and KStew thing.
I am over grad school!!
Not a J.Crew fan either...ON does me just fine. I am that girl that you laugh at and scroll through on IG. I know, I hashtag overkill with my outfit posts, but I do it for my blog...I know...shameless self promoting. Still friends? And Honey Boo makes me ill...that poor innocent girl with cray cray parents! And I am REALLY curious about the crazy bloggers you speak of....hmmmmmm
oh man the J. Crew thing is so annoying. Like sure if you have a few things from there it's fine but I have two bloggers that do nothing but talk about shopping there. *dramatic eye roll*
Happy rant day! lol...I didn't know there was an official name. But we shouldn't make it a "thing" because then our rants will be on OILs.
I never understood the bubble necklace. Never. Pumpkin spice lattes KILL ME. #hashtageoverload #lolz
haha too funny! It's aways good to have a rant. Know how I know I like you? I disagree with half your list but I laughed the whole time and still want to come back and read more. <3 Sami, all day long
First off, love the "Enough" clip of Taylor - that girl is so crazy! And I agree, over the election and over Kim/Kanye - actually I am over all of the Kardashians.
OMG, YES! I am so over everything, from the election to Honey Boo Boo. And Stabrucks red cups, which just came out today...
uuggghhhh i HATED jessica biel's dress! hate hate hate!!
Paleo, Cross-fit.. good for you for chewing leaves and dead lifting 100 pounds. Guess what? Nobody cares.
Man... as if I couldn't love you more and then you come up with this post.
p.s. don't hate on me when I wear my bubble necklaces. I already own them and I have to wear the crap out of them.
Oh lawdy, so many of my thoughts all in one place! My personal faves: election, paleo (WTF), and more than 3 hashtags on instagram (drives me bananas, especially when the person uses the SAME tags on EVERY photo). h Thank god at least the election will be over soon. Paleo & overzealous Instagram hashtagging? Sadly we'll probably have to tolerate for awhile...
I despised j biels look. Girl looks etter grocery shopping tbh
I'm a new blogger and recently started following a few style blogs. And I thought I was the only one who didn't get the J.Crew craze! Seriously..who would pay $75-150 for anything when you can get the SAME look for $15 at Old Navy, Target, or even the GAP Outlet. It's like the ordinary girl's version of "designer"...but I'm over it. ;)
this post is pure genius... "let's get this shiot on the road" is a phrase that is not used nearly enough. god i love you. i missed you like crazy this week. man oh mighty. xo
Ahahhaa, this is hilarious and I feel like you read my mind on it all!
I can pretty much agree with ALL of this!! However, I still like Call Me Maybe...I can't help it ;)
I could seriously copy and paste this list on to my blog. I feel the same exact way about it all! Oh wait, except for Jessica's pink dress. I liked it.
