the finer things.

I am not spoiled, in fact my parents are dirt poor and that is how I was raised. I,  however,  love to spoil myself and those around me. I think most girls do. Whether it is nice chocolate, clothes or just a trip to the salon, we deserve it, don't we?

I know I will never have an eating disorder, I simply love food way too much. There is nothing better than a piece of nice dark chocolate when you're feeling down. Or a steaming cup of hot chocolate on a freezing cold day. Food is glorious and having a chat and a glass of wine, whilst sharing the company of good friends is one of my favourite things.

Food is definitely not my only vice. I love clothes. If I could just find what I want, when I wanted it, life would be great. Since I lost a chunk of myself two years ago(I cut down on the food a little), shopping is also much more pleasurable. I love finding a good bargain, especially if it is a good quality bargain. My biggest weakness is shoes, I LOVE shoes. I love how a pair of shoes can make you feel sexy. It's just amazing!

Then there is a good old fashioned pampering session at the salon. I don't do that nearly enough. The best part is sitting in that chair getting my hair washed and those magical fingers of the shampoo girl massaging my scalp. I tell you it's absolute heaven! If anyone can argue with that I just don't get you...

Oh, and while we're talk about the finer things... there is nothing that brings me more joy than giving to the one's I care about. I love the smile, the joy on the face of someone when you give them something. With regard to this children are the best, the smallest things can make them exuberantly happy. I just love to see their faces light up and their eyes shining with happiness. That is the finest thing of them all.
