Ooh La La Advice: You Can Thank Me Later

Ciao bellas!  

There is little in life as fulfilling and magnificent as providing yourself a weekly {or daily} indulgence in something fabulous.  How else would we get through the week?! 

For all novices, indulge is defined as:

in-dulge [in-duhlj] verb, -to allow (oneself) to follow one's will (usually followed by in ): to indulge oneself in reckless spending.

Exactly!  The dictionary provides such a marvelous example! 

To indulge IS:

• to buy an overpriced, hand crafted, turquoise bird that would look devine on your mantle... just to cheer up a dreary Wednesday

• to have a late and leisurely pasta dinner WITH bread, and preceded by copious amounts of red wine

• to arrive to work a little late, just so you can stop and get a fancy, steamed, coffee creation

• to have champagne as often as possible

• to eat sweets at least once a day...it's only natural!

• to book a spur of the moment getaway

To indulge IS NOT:

• to bore people with droning stories about your ordinary life (this is better defined as self-indulgent)

• to skip your twice daily run, once a week

• to "treat yourself" to sugar in coffee on a Friday

• to drink diet energy drinks

• to drink energy drinks at all

• to shop...for groceries only

• to skimp on the essential luxuries: linens, toilet paper, paper towels {this is a given!}

• to think about how great you are by not indulging

Take notes!  These little pleasures are crucial to surviving the work week! 

Bonne Chance!
