I just ordered a new pair of danskos for work. It kills me to pay 150 bucks for a pair of shoes but I wear them forever and they are the only shoes I've found that don't kill my hips and back when I'm working all day. I'm saving for a stained glass window panel for the window above my kitchen sink. I'll prob stock up on a bunch of comfy clothes that are suitable to wear to work (I change to scrubs as soon as I arrive so I don't need to wear them too long but I'd like them to look not completely slobby.) I've fully decided that quality shoes are cheaper than PT and/or knee and hip surgeries later in life. I'll pay money to not be in pain.

I have bought...a lot of books in the past month for my birthday...like at least 20. It was fun. I also bought book shelves to put them on! same. I am not normally a book buyer but so many good ones came out this year and without the library (they are open now, but slower to order new books) I've been buying them I am a book buyer, but it's usually like, one or two a month at most. But ya, the library being closed, but also not carrying much indie horror is why I bought so many! And yes - this has been a great year for books!

With being in lock-down my DH and I have been tackling the house projects so our big indulgence was putting hardwood floors in our bedroom. We already have the whole 1st floor done but the upstairs bedrooms all have carpet. Not that our bedroom is done, Ii think we will also do the rest of the bedrooms. Then of course our furniture didn’t match the new floors so we just ordered all brand new bedroom furnishings including a new mattress. I am so loving my new bed! For a personal Treat myself - I have a new pair of shoes coming from Nordstroms. A treat in that they are a pair of Louboutins - my favorite.

Rather unexpectedly, we're buying a new smart tv as ours gave us the black screen of death just last night. I know next to nothing about what to look for, but DH says 65" uhd smart tv and I just nod along.

I'm considering buying my first pair of Ugg boots. My "office" is in the basement and it gets cold down here in the winter. We are also treating ourselves to moving next year once the right house comes on the market - if the right house comes on the market. Around here there's basically no inventory up for longer than like 24 hours and we just aren't mentally ready to jump on anything for a few more months yet.

Hard-enough bottom and oh so comfortable. I keep them near my desk since my office is also underground.

I legitimately celebrate “Treat Yo Self” day on October 13th every year and I invite you all to join me. I’ll be drunk by like 10 am. It’s fun! It’s one of my favorite things about you! This year will be epic. So don’t you bitches go and blow your load now and leave me drunk and alone in my own thread.

I have worn mine most days since lockdown started - I am thinking I want some lower ones (mocassin type) rather than my big clompy boots since they're my daily shoes currently. Anyone want to recommend slippers?

I really need to stop treating myself...it's basically my pandemic hobby. Most recently though I splurged on new living room furniture, throw pillows, and lamps. I'm trying to make my home hygge as can be given that I am stuck here 24/7.
Also, I have a houseplant addiction so I always support people in their houseplant purchases.

We’re in the middle of buying a new house. Once we’ve closed, I’m going to be splurging on new rugs and lighting for the main level. Plus a new sofa and a large canvas of a photograph of my favorite nature preserve at sunset for the living room mantel. I’m very excited!

H and I just signed a contract to build a tiny house in our backyard. It’s going to have a full bath and be primarily a music studio/office for H. But also a possible guest space, if we ever need that again.
I’m also eyeing a lot of lululemon to continue my work from home forever life.
And I’m trying to jump back into HIH!

I’ve bought...so many houseplants over the last 6 months. If you want a splurge-y one, order from The Sill! Their pots are so so pretty. It’s about the price of ordering a nice bouquet for delivery.

We just got official word that our current remote work schedule is going through January ("at least") so I'll be splurging on some new leggings! I got the same official word but until April 1, 2021 so I went out and bought 3 pairs of leggings

Which they don't make anymore I guess. Oops.

I got a tattoo GC at the beginning of quarantine, so I need to chat with my artist and book that. It will be nice to have a treat that's already paid for.

What have you treated yourself to lately or what are you saving up for? Makeup? Clothes? Hobbies? Books? Binge-worthy shows? Yes. Lol. Quoting myself to elaborate. I started my retail therapy in early March with a Sunny bike (using with the Peloton app). Since then I’ve purchased a new Dooney & Bourke plaid purse and matching wallet, about 25 books (mostly hardcover), the Naked Violet palette (yeah, purple shades at last!), the Nars blush and highlighter palette, some Drunk Elephant and other skin care items, too many workout clothing items to count off the top of my head, including splurging on Lululemon, some new bras and panties from ThirdLove, new panties from Duluth Trading Company, a new pair of pink and brown Speery boat shoes, yoga strap and blocks, Etsy masks (among others) and just a few days ago, some NB running shoes. Obviously spread over the past 6 months and justified (wink) by all the $$$ MH and I aren’t spending by going out to eat/movies/shopping/concerts/vacation etc. And the little thrill of getting a new package cannot be underestimated. Pre-Covid me was very much a splurge once in a great while. Covid me is “buy all the things.” The big purchase to come is a complete gut and reno of our our one and only bathroom. So clearly the splurging is grinding to a halt.

Might I suggest... They’re my favorite tattoos. Tell me more The kids' signs. Virgo for DS on my left arm; Gemini on my right for SD. I've seen some with the stars connected, but I liked the minimal look of this. Most people don't even notice them with all of my freckles.

What did you get? What are you eyeing, piratecat ? I like houseplants too TBH. Especially in winter, they can just brighten up the inside so much. I honestly have no idea lol. Just got one that looked good at Lowe’s. ETA I just googled and it’s a Peace Lily You won't regret this, so easy to care for!

I bought a dress on a whim right before I checked out at target yesterday. I am weaning from the pump so I'm excited to not have to wear pump-friendly clothing anymore.

I want a tattoo for my kids but can’t figure out what I want that hasn’t been over done. I'm in the process of planning a heartbeat tattoo around my ankle with my kids initials. So it would be DS1 (heartstrip from records if i get my hands on it), late DD (heartstrip from records I have) and DS2 (heartstrip from records I can easily access) in a loop around my left ankle. I'm still trying to track down DS1's heartstrip from labor and haven't quite managed to get it from the hospital yet.
