Tuesday Trio: Little Luxuries

I am the hugest advocate for Buying Shit I Do Not Need. Admittedly, I've gotten better at controlling this nasty habit, but there are still some items that I have to have:

1. Cheese bags and paper
I realize that ziploc bags and saran wrap are in everyone's pantry, but CHEESE BAGS, people! If you are as crazy about cheese (lactose intolerance be damned) as I am, these can totally be justified. To yourself.


Guests who see me use this for the first time go freaking CRAZY over it. It's always a bit disappointing when I get a screw-top. Sure, I have 2 other regular corkscrews that work perfectly fine, but when you are opening as many bottles of vino as I am, this little luxury is actually quite the blessing. 

These aren't so much a luxury as a given. Snag-free! I've been using these for years and will never go back to crappy Goody torture products. For about $5.00, you can't go wrong.




What are the little things you love?


I have some extra time this morning, so I'm going to share 2 Truths and a Lie with all of you... Guess which is the lie!

1. When I was little, let's say 7, I saw a pink thing in my parents' bathroom trash can and I thought it was really pretty so I took it out of the garbage, put it on a piece of  yarn and wore it around my neck until my mom saw and freaked out. Apparently it was a tampon applicator or something.

2. I'm agoraphobic. I hate wide open spaces. Hiking in the mountains or swimming way out in the ocean bother me. Ironically, I quite like the Dixie Chicks' song.

3. I once saw Ryan Reynolds, fellow Vancouverite, in a store and my mom said to him, "save yourself for my daughter", which obviously appalled me because there was totally a chance we'd end up together and my mom just blew it for me.

I'll reveal my lie later!

Definitely iphone covers. I think I have nine. They are as much an accessory as my 27 pairs of ballet flats.;)

Um hello I really need cheese bags in my life. Like, yesterday. That is amazing. And I only drink SmartWater like a little water snob.

I want that wine opener...I have a rabbit one that I love--but an electric one. Bliss. I think my birchbox is a little thing that I love. Have a great Tuesday. oxo

Love that wine opener. I need one NOW. k. thanks. and I'm really hoping #2 is the lie, b/c I need #3 to be true.

Amy said...

hahahahah! the tampon applicator, i can totally see that happening. I'm rooting for #2 because i'm HOPING that #3 is true!!

Jaclyn said...

Your first sentence cracked me up - so you :) I am pretty sure there could be some truth to all three of those. I am #2 too (if that is true but if I had to guess - that one is false) - especially the ocean. And thanks for the tip on the elastics :) xo

Dani said...

I'm hoping #2 is the lie too! :)

Do those little elastics keep your hair held tightly when it's "up"?

I pick #2 as the lie. We did some dumb things when we were young and I can totally see Barb embarrassing you like that.

I have a hard time not purchasing every little thing I find on Etsy. :-( thank goodness my bank account doesn't have a problem stopping me! lol

I loooove the snag free elastics. I am totally addicted, I buy them everytime I see them!
