Welcome back to another week of the awesome Random Thursday linkup with Lin, Meg and I! I wanted to say thanks to all of you guys who link up with us every week. I may not always find time to comment on every single link up - but I read them all and can't tell you how much it means to all three of us that you guys keep coming back. You like us! You really like us! Ahem. Anyway, that's enough emotion. Time for this week's topic:
Oh dear. Another one I could riff on for awhile. But I'm gonna try to keep it short.
1. Books
This is probably my oldest love. I remember saving up my allowance back when I got a dollar a week until I could buy books. (yeah, I remember when a dollar was worth something. I'm old.) My house is full of them, they're stacked on to of shelves, some shelves have two rows and I'm not even near having read them all - but I can't help splurging on them. There's just something magical about them.
2. Starbucks
Oh, lord. I know it's a rip off. I know it's not healthy. But goddamn it if I don't go every week. Usually more than once.
3. Cosmetics (obvs)
Well, this one you might have guessed. Currently it's skincare, but makeup - well, it's impossible to resist for long. I remember reading somewhere that during economically and socially difficult times in society lipstick sales soar. The theory being that they're not too expensive, so it was a justifiable way for women to treat themselves, and because they could wear it every day, it was a visible pick-me-up. At least, that's how I think it went. Makes sense to me. Also probably why I have so many - I tend to pick one up whenever I'm having a particularly terrible week! Hmmmm. Therapy would probably be cheaper.
4. Stationery
Like books, notebooks and pens are magical - hell, back in the day, that is where books were created. I am partial to Moleskine and my trusty fountain pen, but I do have a stack of unused notebooks of all varieties, shapes and sizes.
Alright, that's enough outta me. Your turn! Link up below:
