The List: 100 Ways to Shake Up Your Life58. Buy Something Outrageously Expensive
"Extravagance is a relative thing; one woman’s splurge can be another woman’s down payment on a condo. But the thrill of splurging — particularly on oneself — is absolute. Paying a crazy amount of money for something, whether it’s a bottle of perfume or a luxury sedan, is intoxicating. Five hundred dollars for a Prada Tessuto Soft Calf Satchel? You wouldn’t do it every day, but if that bag is what makes your pulse quicken and your eyes light up, there are good reasons to go for it." Over the Hill and Between The Sheets: Sex, Love and Lust in Middle Age"At the end of the day, after the yelling, and the throwing things, and the ugliness and the therapy and the fantastic sex, at the end of it all, we are still old friends. Old friends who like one another, who like to talk, who like to go out to dinner and chat, and who really like to sleep together. Who love to sleep together." - from "Like a Buncha Virgins" by Helene Stapinski |
