Books. I buy Kindle books when I feel like it and second hand, out of print books if I want.

Get my brows professionally tidied every six weeks.

Loads. I think it's important to do stuff for yourself. Nails done, Spotify subscription, Duolingo subscription, regular meals/drinks out and weekends away.

PaddleBoardingMomma · 10/01/2022 09:29

David Lloyd membership
2-3 new books a week (avid reader, prefer "proper" books over kindle)
Allsaints perfumes
Essential oils for the diffuser
YouTube premium (because adverts 🤣)

Oh and bedeck bedding and really nice pillow sprays / sleep masks.

Almost forgot the prana mat! Probably the best investment ever, so so relaxing

Ffs.. the more I think the more I remember, last one I promise but...

Candles
Takeaway once a week
Sometimes I go to a coffee shop and just chill for an hour with my laptop in peace
I like the idea of fresh flowers. Might start treating myself

  1. The Bassist magazine - monthly £7 for 40-60 mins of interesting reads.
(and some good practice tips). Nothing I can't find on the internet. But it's a nice mag, someone already collated useful, interesting things...
  1. Used to be a specific lush shampoo, but they discontinued 2 years ago and since then I have not set foot in any of their stores - that will teach them to just abandon a product! :)
  2. Zeiss lens wipes.

Crowdfundingforcake · 11/01/2022 06:56

Wool for crochet. All the wool.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 11/01/2022 07:08
