Treat of the Week 1.17.11

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what I'm going to do differently this year. Not so much resolutions as "things I'd like to do just cuz I think they'd be cool". It's been difficult because I've accomplished a lot that I hadn't planned on before the year ended.

One of things I came up with is that every week I would buy something for myself that I need/want/been looking at for a month or more. The logic behind this (just go with me on this for a minute) is kinda like the logic behind dieting. You know how when you're on a diet you usually deprive yourself of things you normally eat that you consider bad for you? Then after all the sacrifice and starvation you one day you find yourself headfirst in the fridge with a fistful of cheesecake and flecks of bacon bits in your hair? There are usually long stretches of time where I won't buy ANYTHING for myself and then when I do, I OD. So I'm thinking just like with dieting, moderation is key. Also, it helps to treat yourself so often so you don't go overboard when you finally decide to do whatever it is you're trying to abstain from.

These things can't be random. No impulse purchases and if they are they have to be justified. For example, if I happen to shopping with the Twin and I see something I like, I'm not going to just buy it. It has to either be on the "Master List" (more about that later) or there has to be some REALLY GOOD reason why I need it. It has to "go with" something I already own. None of that "Hey those shoes are cute, but they don't match anything. Excuse to go shopping!!


This leads me to my Treat of the Week. Whenever i find something I've got a great deal on or is really interesting or I just plain decide I LOVE, I feel the need to share it. I'm nice like that :)

I've been doing this every week since the year started and I'm building quite the collection. Ok, it's only been 2 weeks, but still... I'm right on schedule. This week's treat is...

A Juicy Couture Starter Charm Bracelet

Juicy Couture

What? I know I'm grown and I have no business rocking this, but I don't care. I love it. Plus, I have all these fun Juicy charms and no bracelet to wear them with. *blank stare*
I needed a new one and I kept saying I'd get it, but I never did. I have no idea why. Finally I just said screw it. I got a discount too so that helped. (Hooray for discounts!!) Anyway, I've got a whole list of stuff and about 50 more weeks so stay tuned!
