Tuesday's Top 6 Splurges




My top 6 Splurges:

Sometimes I splurge on the price I'll pay for a great pair of shoes. Other times I just splurge on the fact that I just can't walk away from a great deal on a super cute pair!

2. Starbucks - Grande Cafe Mocha - with REGULAR milk AND whip cream. I feel truly decadent when I don't add on ... "with Non-fat milk, no-whip and 3 pumps of chocolate please". Actually, I wait for the Barista to say, with non-fat milk, and if they don't I feel like I got away with it!
Oh, and in the winter, Peppermint Mochas.

3. Lipgloss. I've blogged about this before, but I've been known to pay upwards of $20 for lipgloss. Hey, it was Versace. And it was sparkly. What's a girl to do?

4. Beads & Jewelry Supplies! Have you seen my Etsy Store? My husband has finally said ... "So, I can assume when I see a Michael's charge that means you're buying 'supplies'?" Precisely! I love jewelry, I love to make it. So when I see some beautiful beads, how am I supposed to walk away?

5. Movie Theatre Popcorn ... WITH butter. When I go to the movies, you can better believe I'm splurging and buying that $7.50 Super Big Popcorn Bowl WITH butter and the $5.50 Gigantic Coke. (Well, Diet Coke thank you!)

6. Stationary. I'm a paper person. That's one thing I love about a big city. There always seems to be a fabulous little paper shop with all sorts of stationary. I will definitely splurge for some "special" paper, on which I will write a "special" person "special" words. (That's YOU hubby!)

Those are my six little indulgences. Wait, was I only supposed to pick two? I guess I splurged :-)

Don't worry, I make a VERY conscious effort to counterbalance my splurges - like freezing in the winter and sweltering in the summer. All so I can have my cute shoes & lipgloss without the guilt.
Do any of you do that? Tell me I'm not alone :-)
