Splurge Purchase Came in the Mail

It’s 1112a and I work at the main job until 2p and struggling after not getting good sleep last night. But- all is good. So I hit a milestone on quitting smoking - 26 days! Of no cigarettes. Which, since I was about a pack a day smoker, has saved me over $200 so far. So... in order to reward myself for 20 days smoke free, I ordered some ridiculously expensive lotion and body care stuff I LOVE - over $100 worth- and just received it in the mail. I originally got this brand from Ipsy or Birchbox - I got a sample of it and was addicted. The lotion makes your hands super soft and it smells delicious- like pistachio. Which is a unique scent. So, I bought a few body sprays, a few lotion bars, body butter, hand lotions, and some other items I am excited to use. The brand is called Pistache. I love it and want to try to recreate it but haven’t found any way to recreate that amazing scent. Yet. What have you splurged on lately?

Congratulations on that milestone! That's huge! My husband is a smoker and he has a hard time trying to quit so he gave up, I tend to splurge once a month on Amazon for art supplies and any gadget we can use as a nomad living in a van.

I can see why about the smoking. I love smoking. Do you smoke? And your lifestyle is intriguing. Where do you set up shop, or park every night? Very cool though.

@maezee no I don't smoke and he tries not to smoke around me. We camp on BLM land and in forest land. This winter we've been camping in Southern Arizona. It is where we spend winter every year because of the warmer weather and no snow. During the other seasons we travel around anywhere where the weather is between 70 and 80 degrees. I love this lifestyle.

I splurged for a box on cratejoy.com. That is so great that you quit smoking; that is something of which to be proud!

Oh those are fun! I like the makeup subscription ones. I think my brother in law used to get the crate joy though!

Much better than smoking. I placed an order at Amazon, but nothing "splurgy".
