What do you do to Spoil Yourself?

ejc423 · Coach

Good poll.

I buy myself something I don't need, like perfume or bath products.

I've never considered myself an emotional eater, but the other day, I was pissed at my advisor (she yelled at me very inappropriately) and I had to get lean cuisines at the grocery store. Well the damn cheetos were on sale (I rarely eat them but I thought I NEEDED them after the day I had), as were the bbq fritos (two for 3.00) so I had to get those. Then I got ice cream AND cookie dough. For some reason just buying a bunch of junk food made me feel better.

It's all about eating for me because I would I have limited funds to shop with. My sweets:

chocolate (Godiva is pretty easy to find anywhere when I have a craving)

Starbucks Java Chip Frappacino

Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream

WOW - I guess I spoil myself quite a bit! LOL

Clothes

Shoes

or jewelry off one of my shopping channels....LOL

I want to start REALLY pampering myself (mani/pedi'), but Joe does a good job, and he's FREE....LOL

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

I take a personal day off to spend with my son. His childlike innocence always renews my perspective...

jacL · Coach

Usually, shopping, but my funds are limited right now, so lately I have been settling for a Starbucks Frappuccino. I also love professional massages!

Honestly, not a whole lot, which probably attributes to my being a stress mess. I completely scrimp on all beauty and hair products. I don't get my nails done b/c I would mess them up making jewelry. I do have this whirlpool/foot massage thing that my mom got me for Christmas. I have yet to use it. I don't really shop too much unless I have saved money and it's on my list. Gosh, I sound like Ebeneezer Scrooge. I think I should spoil myself with a massage and a shopping spree.

Oh, wait, I thought I one thing. I feed my magazine addiction. I subsribe to tons of mags, buy a ton more in the stores (including the obnoxious tabloids) and I sit with a glass of wine or champagne and I read them for hours and hours. Does that count?

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

It used to be bags, but I am proud to say that I have not fallen off the bag wagon in over a year:).

I am actually going to splurge and treat myself to a nice yoga studio. I need some special me time and I think it is the perfect way to do that.

erin · Chanel

clothes, shoes, sometimes beauty products. usually i plan an inexpensive mini-trip.

when i don't want to spend too much, i treat myself to a nice meal (takeout) and make myself a kir.

Andrea Julia · Coach

Lay on the couch and watch TV and tell myself I don't have to do anything all day.

Buy myself the really expensive sushi from the really good place for no reason.

Buy new clothes.

Get a Carvelanche.

sage · Dooney & Bourke

Lattes (big ones)
Beauty products
Multiple magazines in one purchase.

Yeah, I am baaaad.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

My 3 biggest vices in life are what spoils me: Fashion (including shopping obviously), my music (Happy hardcore and Trance) and lattes.

For minor indulgences, I soak in my tub with a book quite often and also buy multiple magazines at once

Lilykind · Hermes

I really don't spoil myself much anymore, since I'm trying hard to save. I consider my addiction to Shiseido beauty products and Armani makeup enough of one. But if I'm having a really down day...

Godiva chocolate. I like to get a truffle, a chocolate covered strawberry or a macaroon.

Starbucks. If they have something new, I'll try it or I can always go to my trusty Caramel Light Frappucino (if I've had a bad day I get the whipped cream), or a White Chocolate Mocha.

A purely fun, happy piece of clothing/pair of shoes/piece of jewelry that serves little purpose other than to make me smile.

Massages. I have a favorite chill massage place I got to that's kinda near my work. They take walk in so I've gone a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it.

halleybird · Hermes

other than buying myself stuff...

I take 2 or 3 sick/personal days per year to do nothing (my b-day is usually one of these).

I sleep in.

I eat good food (probably *too* much good food lately..heh)

janey831 · Kate Spade

other than shopping:

-buy myself 2-3 chick lit books
-spend a whole day of nothing but sex and the city dvds, eating ice cream, and -basically bumming it in my pjs
-taking a bath/shower and slathering myself my most expensive, perfumey body lotions/oils, etc.
-magazines
-mmmmm hazelnut or vanilla lattes

Maddie · Coach

Horrible junk food. I go to 7-11 and load up. I love cheddar and sour cream chips, cooler ranch doritos, puffy cheetos, ice cream cookie sandwiches, butterfingers, reeses', and brie (though I don't get that at 7-11). Oh, and Dunkin Donuts. And these delicious shoestring french fries at my school dipped in buttermilk ranch. I always have that when I'm hung over. I love eating! Sorry, I'm on a diet right now so it's on my mind.
