I definitely believe in treating myself. As my husband used to say, "we all need some fripperies in our lives".
I was brought up with nothing and wanted everything, ?. I realised no one was going to hand me them on a plate So I worked my socks off and learned how to be frugal in some areas so I could splurge on the things I lusted after.
Champagne tastes and a lemonade budget sums me up. ?
Luckily I love vintage so I am a charity shop queen. Over the years I have developed quite an eye and have picked up some amazing bargains. Just today I bought a beautiful 38 piece China dinner service for £9. A pretty brooch caught my eye, 50p. Got it home and realised that the stones are diamonds. Ok only tiny ones, but hey diamonds are diamonds right and on one will know if I don't tell them ?.
I have a wardrobe full of beautiful clothes, mostly preloved or vintage, lovely leather handbags picked up for next to nothing and so on. I do most of my own beauty treatments, facials, manicures etc.
I Splurge on holidays, massages, good food and a warm home.
My motto is.......
Life is short, take the trip, buy the shoes, eat the cake. Just don't bankrupt yourself in the process.??. .
