Guilty Indulgences. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.
Guilt implies wrong doing.
Therefore guilty pleasures would mean deriving fulfillment from doing wrong. Hmm. Let’s see how many of these I’m willing to share.
This Monday Listicles we are to confess 10 guilty pleasures at the suggestion of Miss Marina Star.
10. Sunbathing.
Blame this guilt on the overwhelming evidence that prolonged sun exposure increases your chances of skin cancer and looking like a prune well before your time.
That said, you can take the girl out of Florida but it’s awful hard to take Florida out of the girl…even as her skin is getting more prune-ish by each passing 80 degree day.
9. Target.
Blame my guilt here on one word…impulse. And there is no place on earth I am more succeptialbe to “want-based” verses “need” purchases than Target.
I blame Target.
Cute stuff at relatively low cost = a basket of over $100 on the credit card.
Hate it but I can’t help myself.
8. Naps.
A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I used to nap. I guess I felt guilty napping but that was alleviated by falling into a sound sleep.
7. Reading.
Okay. This is double guilt. I feel guilty about taking time I should be cleaning or writing or sleeping to read.
And I really feel guilty about admitting I feel guilt reading. Who does that?
6. Big Rich Texas.
A god-awful show about these crazy narcissist women in Dallas, Texas and how they infect their children with the same malady.
I can’t not watch. That sentence a lovely obscene double negative that fits right in with BRT.
5. Pedicures.
I apologize to the world because I haven’t had an official one in a while. Trying to save money at risk of ugly exposed toes.
4. Facials and Peels.
Why guilty for this? What some (including this someone) find mandatory healthcare for women who’ve reached a certain level of life experience.
Money and time.
But I do love them so I do indulge every now and then.

3. Ordering frozen drinks by pool on vacay.
I don’t feel guilty about drinking in middle of day, on money spent on overprices drinks or the calorie count (Well, don’t worry to much about that after the first one.)
2. Take out for dinner.
On this I cast aside guilt for extra money and often-poor nutritional value. It’s worth it for a night I can sit down and talk with my husband before 9 o’clock.
1. Face lifts.
A girl can dream can’t she?
Ok first and most importantly where’s Sodahead? I must go.
Secondly I’m just investigating peels. Any recs for what to get?
Ado — yes, I’m with you on the Sodahead place. No clue? But I liked the image. And as far as peels, I have a friend who opened up her own spa, Pure Bliss, just for me. And I like any of her peels. They are all natural. Pumpkin is one. I need to schedule one STAT.
Naps, reading and Target. We are so on the same page!
I LOVE your list! Seriously, I’m thinking spa treatments SHOULD be considered health care once you reach a certain age. And that age can be 38, which is what I will be in a couple weeks!
Oh Target, why do we have a love-hate relationship? It seriously amazes me how much seemingly necessary things I can walk out with from that store. Totally agree with naps, reading, pedis and poolside drinks on vacay. And take-out? That’s almost mandatory here in NYC.
