All About Me
I had a presentation downtown today, which is very near a mall I love. I decided that the outflow of money in our household was all going towards H or the house. Not me. So I decided some indulgent "me" shopping was in order!
I bought:
1. A new pair of pants (a size too big)
2. 3 lip glosses (I thought of you, Britt)
3. White Tea body cream from Origins... completely decadent, totally indulgent, and fabulous!
4. The Body Shop Hemp Body Butter
I hate how spending money makes me so happy. I should find better inner peace 
What about the rest of you? Any indulgent "me" purchases lately?

i bought some of the tea tree items from the body shop and they should be in any day! and tomorrow i'm ordering some clothes from express (they're having a decent sale) which i'm really excited about.
good for you for spending a little on yourself! i haven't spent any money on myself in a while so this is way overdue!
The pants I bought were from Express. We seem to be shopping twins today
I love how their pants fit! And they were super on sale ($25) so I didn't feel so bad spending $35 on a jar of body cream.
Bella- I looked in you blog to see the MK bag, but didn't see it. I like that little shirt dress, though, and the Etsy bag.

I should buy myself something. But I usually buy stuff for other people too much and then do without. And yeah, that's a nice thing to do but it's been pointed out that I should learn to be selfish sometimes.
This may change a little when I hit up Old Navy this week. While buying the ever growing 4 year old new pants, I might buy me-self a little something. Maybe.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!

I have had to curb my shopping habits tremendously since money has been so tight for us. It is amazing how happy it does make you.
Last night I bought 2 new dressy tops that I can also wear to church and a pair of brown casual shoes to wear to work as the weather gets cooler. I really want a new purse right now but waiting to see if H will by me the new Coach bag I want for my birthday.
We're broke. J hasnt been working as much because of health things going on with his Dad.
I am running off Friday night for a girls night though, J can sit here with the kids Im going to drink rum & dance. Me time is a big deal so Ill count that.
Yay for "me" stuff!
I recently replaced all my makeup with the "good stuff" lol - nice makeup and boy the difference is huge/. Also got some rain boots that I have certainly needed, perfect timing with the rain we've had. I need to go out and get clothes though, just don't have the funds at the moment....
Girl, you BETTER buy SOMETHING for yourself, too! Old Navy is a nice inexpensive place to treat yourself.

This was the month for indulgence for me too. I got a ton of new maternity clothes since the belly popped. I convinced DH to get me a Kindle. I'm getting my hair cut for the first time in 18 months on Saturday. I usually get trins every 8 weeks, but I am getting the big post wedding chop.
September has been my "go crazy" month before we buckle down on savings for the twins.
Shan- Congrats on the Twins!
I haven't bought anything for myself since we went on major budget and literally froze my cc in the freezer.
But Saturday I'm doing a sort of TTD session with my horse that has arthritis as a last hoorah since the vet said to be prepared for a really rough winter.
It's more about my selflishness in not wanting to lose my horse but it gives me the opportunity to put my dress on again.

Let me add to the act of indulging myself, I bought Cubs tickets for tomorrow now I need to really justify buying a new dress when I have a ton of them in my closet.
**J is awesome! I have to go get my oil changed tomorrow and he was like oh that will work, you can go to the mall and do some shopping. I love that man!
I'm so jealous of you all! With the move we're really strapped, and H is still trying to nail down some full-time work. We did splurge on a nice big HD tv and DirectTV so I can watch my Steelers and H can play Halo Reach. LOL!
I do have a girl's weekend get-away to the mountains coming up with MIL and SIL...THAT will be fun!!
