Everyone else is doing a "Top 10 Guilty Pleasures". I have commitment issues. I don't want to pick a TOP 10... so here are 10 Random Guilty Pleasures.
- Travel - I've never traveled without worrying/feeling guilty about fnances. But if I had waited to be where I want to be financially to travel, I would have never traveled. Even the student exchange trip to France when I was a teen, nearly didn't happen. Traveling to Africa when I was graduating college was hard financially. Every other trip after has been hard to swing, financially. But traveling makes me thrive. You probably don't get it, if you're not a traveler at heart.
- M.A.C. Eyeshadow - 17.50$ for 1.5g of eye shadow; worth every penny. I love the variety of coulours and I love the intensity. I don't need to apply 42 coats to get the desired effect, and it doesn't crease at the end of a long work day.
- Clothes/Shoes/Accessories - I love everything about them - Picking, purchasing, grouping them into outfits, and I even love giving them to charity. To me it's wearable art. I love trying to gauge someone's personality and sense of style from what they're wearing. I love complimenting other people on what they are wearing.
- Reality TV - I gobble it all up. Big Brother, Biggest Loser, all the varieties of The Real Housewives, The Hills, The City, etc. I know that most of it is scripted, it still fascinates me. I'm watching The Real Housewives of OC as I write this.
- Flirting - I enjoy harmless flirting. I just do! I'm a flirty person.
- Reading in The Bathroom - I stay in there longer than the average bathroom reader. The bathroom has always been my sanctuary. It started when I was a child, I would 'escape' in the bathroom. I've always felt safe, and like... like I could take a break from all of my responsibilities, in the bathroom. I know I'm being vague. I love my bathroom.
- Better Than Average Food - Why chose mediocrity? I will never again chose an iceberg lettuce salad with bottle dressing, when I can have a baby greens salad with goat cheese and a home made vinaigrette. I will never chose a white bread, deli ham sandwich when I can chose a chicken breast, spinach and hummus wrap in a whole wheat tortilla.
- Highlights - I love being a blonde. I must say that I loved loved loved having true black hair. I had black hair for years, during university and college. I started highlighting my hair to give it dimension, when it started thinning out. A lot of people don't even notice how thin my hair is, when it's blonder. I can't explain it, but I have more confidence as a blonde.
- Pre-washed/Pre-cut/Prepared Food - I love convenience. I don't want to waste a chunk of precious free time, preparing food in the kitchen. I love having the option to buy trippled washed, pre-cut mixed baby greens, grape tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, fresh broccoli florets, fresh omelette/spaghetti/stir fry veggie mixes.
- Gossip - I can't get enough of it. Perez Hilton, Coco Hilton, Entertainment Tonight, I love it all.I love knowing things about other people. I'm an incredibly curious person.
To Mindy:
Jennifer always has the CUTEST hair! Post pics!
I need to get on the MAC train! I hired a MAC makeup artist to do our wedding faces :) My sis and I are going in next Saturday for trials and so we look super hot for my bachelorette party...I'll let you know how I like it :)
Happy weekend!!
Haha, i think it's too funny that you feel guilty about going an a trip and then say you can't live without your M.A.C. eyeshadow for 17.50. lol That cracks me up. I know, vacations are in a different realm for the amount of money it takes to go..but still. lol To me, travelling is my thing, it's my hobby. I dont drink, smoke, or go out at all. So this is where the money goes. At least, that's what I say to convince myself that dropping $3500 for the 4 of us to go visit mickey mouse and not my best friend in vancouver, is totally realistic and ok. ;)
You are one of the few blogosphere people I hope to meet someday. I think we'd have a LOT of fun shopping for clothes, accessories, fantastic eyeshadow colors, and then sitting down to the most delicious meal of our lives.
Ahhh.. and we'd both have to travel to get there. :)
Like you - I've never traveled without greatly considering money! BUT - I never, ever feel guilty about traveling! NOPE!
AND - you were in my dream last night! We were both all dressed up, hair done, makeup done, and we were at a gala at The Paris in Las Vegas . . . and you kept telling me "you look like Jennifer Aniston tonight." Which is funny - because I got my hair trimmed yesterday, and I kept pointing my stylist to a picture of Jennifer Aniston as how I want my hair to look like (when it grows another foot!)
