It's the little things

What little luxury do you afford yourself? I know everyone's luxury items are at a different priority level. But you know, some little thing you do for yourself that you don't need to. 

I used to say, good shoes. Mostly because I couldn't afford them. And I'm not really brand conscious. So when I bought a pair of Nike's instead of something from Payless, it was a luxury! Now I have old feet that need more TLC than they used to, so I always buy the best I can afford, mostly. 

Same for ink/gel pens. I used to just buy those stupid, icky, smeary .25 cent stick pens. Oh nooooo. Not anymore :-) But you knew that.

I've never been that way about make-up or hair products though. But recently I've purchased several different kinds of eyeliner, trying to find one I like. I think I'm too old for black so I've been looking for a nice brown. I hate everything I buy. But I've been shopping at the drug store or grocery store. I finally took the leap and went to a real beauty supply store. I was a little uncomfortable spending $20+ on eyeliner. But I've spent at least that trying to find something I liked at the other places, so what the heck. Anyway, I love it so much! Oh man it's so awesome! It's going to be my new little luxury. Till I can't see to put it on. 

It's the little things.
