Well, not really...more like, very happy with my spending decisions!! I get points with my business check card which is a Visa and at the end of each year, I trade them in for gift cards to treat myself a bit. Last year I bought a cashmere bathrobe, which I have wanted for YEARS...and you know what, it was worth every point. This year I had credit still from last years Saks gift cards and used that towards the very fancy Anthousa Diffuser in Nectarine/Currant, which smells awesome and is sooo pretty! Living with Faye and now having Jane as a regular guest, I have developed a passionate love for scent diffusers to help scent the air with loveliness rather then dog. I have bought a few that once home I found so intolerable that I had to throw them out, so I was thrilled with how much I loved this scent!
This year I opted to go with Amazon gift cards, as you can find almost everything there...and by everything I mean everything from software to bath towels to my favorite tights from We Love Colors. Hmmm, perhaps I should work on making Manic Trout found there too...I'll work on that.
Anyway, as you may have gathered by my obsession last week over productivity software, I get a bit giddy over the organized life. So I have been lusting after the totally rad looking Bento...a database program that's a low key version of FileMaker. I have big plans this January to put together a database for my designs, blueprints and supplies needed for each piece of jewelry. Very necessary as I have help in the making of all these pretties and need a better way to explain each piece. I am actually really excited about this and will I am sure, share as I go with this project!
Now as for the towels...its been so long since I last bought bath towels that I still am using monogrammed towels with my married name...that I got for a shower gift...and I got married in 2002. In addition to that, somehow, my stack of wash clothes (I only use them for my face in the shower) have all turned pink??? You get the idea that new towels were a needed purchase that I kept putting off, but I am very happy happy to report that I am now the proud owner of a fluffy stack of white turkish cotton bath, hand and face towels. Yay!
Of course the last thing on my list was this seasons stack of colored tights...I went with Fuchsia (duh), Grey, Navy and Teal! I still want Amethyst but they didn't have them on the Amazon site, but four pairs are really all I need right now. I have a feeling that in the middle of the January blahs that treating my self to a few new pairs of tights would be a welcome blast of color.
But seriously, it was like Christmas...and I think the perfect way to spend my points this year!
