Laurie’s Guilty Pleasures

Favorite Snack: Popcorn with soy butter, salt, and garlic powder.
Touristy Trip: Paris (lived there), the south of France (been there), Stockholm (almost went there and want to go), Maui (really want to go).
Fashion addiction (at the moment): Gap Long & Lean jeans (I have brands that are considered more posh/chichi, but none of them fit or feel like Gap), Ugg crochet boots (not Cardy, just the regular knit), Michael Stars tops, DKNY clothing in general, and Michael Kors stuff (when I can get it on sale).
Dessert: Dark chocolate in almost any form - the darker the better.
Fast Food: French fries at least once every couple of months (even better when dipped in vegan tartar sauce).
Beauty Binge: Aveda products, which includes indulging in high-and/or-low-lights every eight weeks. Also, Skin Nanny and Angels on Skin Cleanser from Lush, Lilac oil perfume, Revitalash mascara, and Buxom Lips from Bare Escentuals.
Late-Night TV: The Hills, The City, Real Housewives of (wherever), The Real World, America’s Next Top Model, and Supernatural.
Chick Flick: Never Been Kissed, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Juno, Green Card, Once, The Devil Wears Prada, Bridget Jones' Diary, Thelma & Louise, Mean Girls, Moonstruck, Clueless, Under the Tuscan Sun, and anything with John Cusack.
Nightlife: Pilates in front of the TV (a regular occurrence), answering e-mail (also regular), and dinner and/or a movie out with friends (happens far too rarely).
Cheap Thrill: Window-shopping, tabloid magazines, buying a new lip gloss, a tall cup of French roast coffee from Peet's or Starbucks.
Ultimate Splurge: Giuliano’s Day Spa for a massage and soft-pack wrap treatment, oxygen facials, and spray-tanning (in summer only).

Cheers,
Laurie
