Brian and I are not people who splurge often. It feels like a waste of money I almost always regret. But I'm always tickled pink whenever I realize something was a great purchase. Like a $12 layering t-shirt that has lasted nearly 100 washes, or an $95 graphing calculator that carries you from 8th grade through grad school... All about cost-per-use here.
Three little luxuries I enjoy in my life that have earned the title of Totally Worth It:
1. Turbie Twist. (Or as Brian calls it, "Kirby Twist") My grandmother gave me a two-pack of Turbie Twists for Christmas and it seemed like such a goofy gift but I seriously love it. I always shower a night, and my hair is so long and thick it would get my PJ's soaked. Not anymore! Cost: $12.
2. OXO Travel Mug. This seemed like an impulse decision when we put some nice stainless steel travel mugs on our wedding registry. We already had some cheap-o plastic travel mugs that worked okay. But DANG bringing coffee to work and it's still hot after an hour is a total game changer. Cost: $20
3. Fuzzy slippers. Who knew something so simple could make mornings so much easier? Even in the heat of summer, my feet are always little ice cubes. I've worn through two pairs of slippers in the past year but I think I'll keep buying the cheap kind instead of investing in a long-term pair that will soak up my foot sweat for even longer. Cost: $15 every 6 months or so.
What little luxuries and splurges are Totally Worth It in your life? Let me now!
