Four Guilty Pleasures

1.  For my first guilty pleasure I'm going to confess something I believe to be quite normal to the Netflix absorbing community: TV show binging. If I have even a small amount of spare time I will watch a show and then that spare time balloons into a beast that devours more than the time I had allotted for the show(s).

2.  My second guilty pleasure is sugar. Well, I may have to consider it a bit of an addiction as well because I eat far too much, and I have a habit of going for days with eating nothing but sugar based foods and desserts. For instance, one week I consumed and entire three layer Whole Foods cake in three days before moving onto a tub and a half of ice cream for the remaining weekdays.

3.   I confess I have the guilty pleasure of shopping in accordance to the burgeoning reputation for U.S. citizens habits of excessive consumerism. I love the feeling of a bag full of new clothes, confident that these will fulfill my constant need for appearance-based praise from those around me. I crave the feeling of a stick of fresh lipstick against my lips. And, I love watching the faces of those i love when they receive something I have bought them.

4.   Sometimes I feel guilty of the amount of time I spend fantasizing about love, romance and fantasies involving my boyfriend. I'm sure many people indulge in such pastimes, yet I can't help but feel some remorse about spending hours figuring out how to express my yet-to-be told love for my significant other instead of focusing my energy on more immediately pressing matters like how I need to address the forest of weeds residing in our garden.

I do believe I might write another installment of guilty pleasures in the future, but for now.... I hope you all have a beautiful night!
