Guilty Pleasures: Just for Fun!

Oh, I think we’ve all been there when we couldn’t resist a certain thing even though we probably should have. Some of those things we do on a daily basis like staying up late, eating late night snacks, stalking on social media (you know what I’m talking about) and TV show marathons. 

All of these things make us feel guilty afterwards but we still do it. The thing is that they are not as harmful as some of the other guilty pleasures that cost a whole lot of money and mess with our budget.

A few days ago, I accompanied my mother to the cosmetics store to help her find the right shade of lipsticks for her. Now, let me tell you something. I had no intention of buying anything for me; my budget simply didn’t allow it. In fact, I had strictly told myself that I will look the other way if I found something I like.

If you think I kept that promise, you couldn’t be further from what actually happened. I walked away from the store with two new mascaras, a highlighter, lip liners, contouring kit, a new liquid foundation (to be fair, the sales person was adamant that it was really good! 

So, I had to buy it, right? Yeah, I know), a couple of lip glosses and a whole lot of remorse. And this was when I didn’t even plan on buying anything.

So, yeah. Buying new cosmetics even when I don’t need them is my guilty pleasure. But the situation is far worse than you could imagine because I don’t have just one guilty pleasure, I have several!

When I see a bookstore, my feet get a mind of their own and before I know it, I’m standing in front of charmingly irresistible and enchanting rows of books. 

Really, can you blame me if I splurge a little?

There is a local bookstore I frequent often; Half-Price Books. I can spend hours in there. They have new books, old books, and book like things (haha) and I can’t get enough. At least they are half-off and I do read them ALL so it could be worse.

The story doesn’t end there because I’m also a stickler of buying new gadgets. Really, it’s not my fault that Apple launches a new iPhone every few months. Now, iPhone 7 is out and it has really cool new features which make it all the more irresistible to me.

Now, I know what you are thinking. How on earth can I afford these things while still being able to pay the bills? I find myself asking the same question all the time! The kind of guilty pleasure I have cost a great deal of money and no matter how much guilt I feel after splurging on them, it still doesn’t stop me. 

So, the only choice I have is to find a way to manage my bills somehow and get control over my guilty pleasures.  What are your guilty pleasures?

Top Excuses People Make For Procrastinating... Don't Fall Victim!

Do you know the top excuses people make for procrastination?

• That they have so much work to do that it’s inevitable that some tasks and cativites would fall through the cracks.
• That they work best under pressure and the stress and adrenaline rush helps them produce at high levels when there is a looming deadline.
• That they even trick themselves into believing they are super busy with non-important tasks instead of focusing on the most important one and they end up waiting until the last minute and they may not even be sure how it happened.

Do you find yourself guilty of using these top excuses?

Do you usually meet your deadline, but it’s usually met with stress and relief?

Don’t worry… many people are guilty of waiting until the last minute to complete important tasks.

So do you know what you can do to combat this bad habit, once and for all?

1. Have you discovered why you procrastinate?

Avoidance issue? Task boring? Task difficult? Not sure where to start? Subconsciously being defiant? Could it be a combination of several things? Does the reasoning vary depending on the task? When does your procrastination cause you the most trouble?

Asking yourself these questions will allow you to come up with better solutions tailored specifically to your reasons for procrastinating?

2. Are you trying to do too many things at once and are unfocused as a result?

This means to look at your plate and start categorizing it… wants, needs, should and by whom… Is this personal or a job requirement? Am I submitting something to my boss or teacher or am I stressing myself out due to personal deadlines that are getting in the way of my job i.e. paycheck.

3. Are you clear about your consequences and desires? Do they drive you appropriately?

With consequences… they need to be clear and specific or they lose value. You also need to be clear and specific about the outcome you desire. Once you have that defined, next step is to weigh the two. Which one wins?

4. Have you tried incentives? Do you know how to properly use incentives?

Recent research has shown that incentives can be a good thing. So why not bribe yourself?

Brainstorm ones that are meaningful to you- while you’re brainstorming… think of creative ways to punish yourself too. Some examples could be: scrubbing floors, missing out on drinks with friends at happy hour this week, or limiting your spending on lunch out.

5. Where is your support system?

Be sure to read books and productivity courses that may be helpful (but you must also implement their suggestions to get the full benefit). Lots of resources exist on procrastination- so find some that speak to you. If you need more than a book, look for support groups especially if your procrastination problem is stickier than you can handle by yourself.

ANEW REVERSALIST Illuminating Eye System

The Perfect Handmade Gift Ideas!

Although a certain event is synonymous to “gift-giving,” it doesn’t mean that is has to be an “expensive gift-giving”. For those who are tight on budget but would want to share something to the special people around them, there are many inexpensive but great handmade gifts that would definitely put a smile on your recipient’s lips.
Maximize your creativity

Indeed, the any special season—a birthday, Christmas, Valentine's, anniversary celebration, etc.—rekindles love, resurgence, and hope of people regardless of age, gender, or race. Aside from sharing love to the ones around you, these special events are also the perfect time to be creative and be resourceful.

Since you are on a tight budget, visiting stores on sale or bazaars can definitely help you find inexpensive gifts to give out. You can also create homemade and handmade gifts using inexpensive materials. Here’s a short list of classy yet inexpensive gift items you can give out in any special occasion:

1. Personalized items. These are probably the most popular inexpensive handmade gifts of all times. Personalizing something like a recipe book for those who love cooking, a sketchpad for those who love drawing and sketching, a scrapbook for those who are fond of collecting and immortalizing memories, a notepad or journal for those who are inclined to writing, a photo album for those who love to keep photos, and the list goes on. Personalized items are inexpensive Christmas gifts because all you have to do is look for materials you can recycle. After recycling these items, you can add personal touches to it and give it away as a nice present.

 2. Custom and handmade stationeries. Combine unused ordinary envelopes, colorful bond papers, and unique specialty papers and you can create a custom-made stationary perfect for your recipient. You can also use colored pencils, watercolors, and glitters to decorate your special stationary. You may even put shiny glitters and even put your recipient's favorite scent to it to make sure that he or she will really like it.

3. Sweets and treats. Cookies, chocolate treats, and sweet breads are surefire gift hits. If you can bake these goodies, you can save money compared to buying them. You can even warp these yourself by using nice jars and boxes, by collecting nice and colorful gift wrappers or by tying them up with used ribbons, and laces.

4. Handmade or decorated ceramics, glasses, figurines, and cloth items. If you have an artistic knack, buy a plain set of white ceramic figurines, clear glasses or mugs and decorate them. By using a bottle of ceramic paint, you can decorate or color by hand the figurine. You can also draw season-inspired themes on clear glasses to make them extraordinary or you can buy a simple set of fabric paint to decorate mugs, shirts, and small cloth items.

5. Homemade bath oils and perfumes. These also make the ideal handmade gift if you are into mixing fragrances. To save some money, try buying a large amount of perfume ingredients and create special fragrances, perfume or bath oil for your recipients. You can also purchase individual mini-bottles to put these pampering products in. If you do this, you can calculate and manipulate the amount of you can put in each bottles so you can give it to more people.
