GP #5

September 29, 2009 at 2:00 pm (guilty pleasures, starbucks)

Week five of talking about guilty pleasures.  Featured this week?  A new addition to my GP list as of the last few weeks…Starbucks 100 calorie fraps.  You know the fraps that come in those glass bottles you get at the grocery store?  They come in 100 calorie versions now that are just as good (shockingly).  I had one of these every day of my new commute the last two weeks at 730am and it was a little slice of heaven.  The new mocha lites were on sale at Publix and Super Target last week so I got myself a stash.

I highly recommend.
Love,

GP #4

September 22, 2009 at 2:00 pm (Glamour, GP #4, guilty pleasures, InStyle, Kiplingers, magazines, Real Simple magazine)

Magazines!  Where was I for the first 20 years of my life?  I remember my grandparents paying for me to have some magazine called ‘Ranger Ricks’ about wildlife but I don’t remember reading that much.  However, in recent years (midway through college on) I’ve realized what a great resource magazines are!  I get all my best makeup, clothing, shopping, and financial tips from magazines.  Currently I receive In Style, Kiplingers personal finance, Real Simple, and Glamour (I got a free subscription).  

I know four magazines may be a bit excessive but hey that’s why they make the GP list.  I love a good magazine.  They’re easy to tote to work for lunch break reading, to the gym while you’re doing cardio, or browse at home while watching ESPN (or whatever you prefer to watch).  I prefer to receive them on a variety of topics but if you write about a subject getting 3-4 magazines on the same subject would be a great way to get ideas.  Many of the ideas I have for my blog come from magazine articles I read, as you may or may not have noticed.
Check www.magazines.com for great deals on my favorite publications or to sign up for your own.
A ‘ha ha’ for your Tuesday from this months Glamour?  In the ‘Hey it’s ok!’ second is says… hey, it’s ok to be secretly terrified of getting sucked down the airplane toilet’.  I laughed out loud when I read this.  I hate airplane toilets for this exact reason.  They totally freak me out.  Thanks Glamour. I feel better already.
Love,

September 15, 2009 at 1:53 pm (2-liters, Diet soda, guilty pleasures)

Drinking out of a 2-liter.  I know, totally shameful.  But I love it.  As an avid-diet-soda-addict I love a good 2-liter of diet cherry 7-up, diet cherry vanilla DP, or diet coke with lime.  I think this is my version of drinking out of the milk carton since I don’t actually drink milk.  Since the year that I lived completely on my own, I’ve loved this.  Since I know that no one drinks my soda (don’t worry I keep cans all the time anyway), I do like to occasionally drink right out of the 2-liter. Classy, I know.

Love,
B

Guilty pleasure of the week is ….Gossip Girl in combo with my friend-crush on Chuck Bass. Judge me all the want, I’m totally on team Chuck. Sorry, Nate Archibald.

Excited to watch the Season Three preview on Sept 14th.

Guilty as charged.

September 2, 2009 at 12:05 am (facials, GP #1, guilty pleasures, spa day, Tuesdays)


I’ve decided that Tuesdays are entirely too boring. There’s almost never anything exciting about Tuesdays. So at least until I run out of them Tuesdays are going to be for sharing guilty pleasures. I use that term loosely because if I really felt guilty about them a. I wouldn’t do them and b. I wouldn’t tell you about them here, now would I? : ] So maybe they’re more quirky ‘likes’ of mine than legit guilty pleasures. Either way, this weeks is inspired by my Tuesday night activity…

GP #1 – Facials!

They are the single most relaxing 2 hours of my month! I haven’t found anything that relaxes me like getting a facial. I look forward to them for the 29 days between. Having the world’s best facialist (if you live in my area I’d be happy to pass on her info) certianly helps. I think it’s a justifiable GP because it’s a healthy outlet for my stress. It’s great for your skin, especially when you live in a state like Florida that’s murder on your skin to begin with. I would honestly get one every day if I had the option (and the money). But for now, this once a month GP tickles my fancy.

Feel free to share one of your GP’s. : ]

Love,
B
