If you're anything like me then you are a penny pincher. In fact, the first iPhone I got felt like a waste of money but I gave in to the social pressures, like everyone else, and got one. Now i'm glad I did because we're pretty inseparable. I'm pretty much lost without my iPhone. I use it for everything from my daily devotional to music to scheduling my life to photography and everything in between.
The first Coach purse my husband bought me before we were even married was very much loved and appreciated & still is but all I could think was the amount of money he just spent was pretty incredible to me. He didn't even bat an eye though. When we got ready to go on our honeymoon he even bought me another one. One that zipped so I could walk through the airport more safely. That was actually his suggestion. While I'm not going to argue if anyone wants to buy me expensive things like this, it's not likely that I will spend that kind of money on myself. I'll go to the store, look at it, swoon, and possibly even get all the heart eyes emoji but I'll talk myself out of whatever it is because I'll think "Dylan needs clothes" or "we need groceries" more. Not that we can't afford these things even if I spent money on whatever I'm swooning over at the moment. It's for this exact reason that I don't own anything from Lily Pulitzer. I love her things, they're beautiful and it's almost like they're every Southern woman's right of passage but I just can't spend that kind of money on myself.
But there are things that I'll splurge on every now and then and treat myself to.
Because sometimes you just need to treat yo' self.
10 Things {I'll Treat Myself To}
1. BareMinerals make-up
I was a Cover Girl/whatever looked good to me at the moment kinda girl until my sweet friend Crystal did my make up for my wedding.
Actually it was the month before when she did a trial run but regardless, I fell in love & haven't used anything since.
2. Chick-fil-A
There are just some days that I have to HAVE Chik-fil-A. Usually that day is Sunday when they're closed.
My hubby already has a plan to cover me on Sundays when Chick-fil-A is closed and i'm pregnant. (no, i'm not pregnant yet).
3. Guacamole from the Farmer's Table
The Farmer's Table is our local Farmer's Market/Cafe.
A couple weeks ago I was in there shopping and ran into a friend of mine.
She convinced me to try their Guacamole because "It's the best guacamole ever."
I bit the bullet and paid the $5.99 and haven't regretted it one bit.
In fact, after I bought it I told her I was going to have to share it because my hubby & son don't eat it.
Her words were "No, girl! Don't share with anyone."
I listened to her advice again and have been blissfully eating guacamole all week.
4. Time with my hair dresser
It's a rarity for me to spend time with her. Like once every six months kind of rarity.
But when I do I feel like a new woman. She basically made me feel like a goddess for my wedding.
She highlighted my hair, which was something I'd only done once before & hated it.
She made me fall in love with it though.
Not only does she make me feel like a goddess, she's basically a free therapist, too!
So there's that!
It's almost time for that goddess feel/therapy time.
5. Manis/Pedis
Sometimes there's nothing better than sitting side by side with your best girls and getting pampered.
Some of my girls convinced me to get my first pedi when we went out for my Bachelorette Shower/Girls Day Out.
I'm hooked now. That scrub they do on my hands and feet is nothing short of Heavenly.
6. Chocolate
The good kind of chocolate. The $5 kind at Target. Lindt/Lindor is my favorite.
If you want to make me melt this is how. I'll do whatever you want for some Lindt/Lindor Chocolate.
7. Anything that supports animal rescues
Since our Willow is a rescue pup I'm all about giving back to those who support animal rescues.
Especially the local pet store here who rescued our sweet girl.
They still gush over her every time we go in, which is about once a week.
8. Local Stores/Shops/Boutiques
I'm a sucker for shopping local & helping people who are like you and me.
Ordinary people who are trying to share their talents
and make a little money along the way.
Our little town is finally getting a few of these places and I love them.
It's also another reason why I love craft fairs.
You can shop for unique pieces that are made by locals.
9. Lip Products
I can't go into a store without buying the latest lip stick, chap stick, lip gloss, lip stain.
You name it, I can't resist it!
10. Make Up Brushes
I used to buy the cheapest brushes ever and throw them away every couple months.
I thought I was being frugal and that was the way to go until I had a make up party
And earned myself some free brushes. Now i'm basically a brush snob.
It makes all the difference in the world to have a good, soft brush to apply your make up.
