Guilty Pleasures

Top Guilty Pleasures

Everyone has guilty pleasures right? Most of my guilty pleasures, I don't actually feel guilty about, but I think to other people they are seen as things to be guilty about. So, without further ado, I give you my top "guilty" pleasures. 

1. RuPaul's Drag Race

Everything about this show gives me life. I absolutely love the fact that this show is an unconventional way of showing that being a drag queen is a lifestyle. People actually get paid to perform as drag queens all over the world. I completely support men dressing as women and performing on a stage and that is something that a lot of people don't agree with me about. I understand that God made men to be men and women to be women. However, I am also extremely supportive of people doing what makes them happiest. You can tell that each of these queens in the show live for what they do and love every minute of it. With my knack for fashion, I love to watch the immense skill of each queen on the show as they give it their all with risky fashion choices and dramatic do's. I have a ton of respect for how hard these queens work at what they do and I'm thankful for all of the laughs and inspiration I get from this show.

2. Avoiding Homework

Ok this one I am actually guilty about. I seriously procrastinate my homework so much on the weekends. I'm pretty good about maintaining a schedule during the week, because I have to so I don't go insane. Therefore, when it comes to the weekend, I know I have 3 days to get my stuff done, so I pretty much just put it off until the very last minute. I love to just take the time to catch up on sleep, watch HGTV, and think about things other than the speech, 2 midterms, a concert, and recording sessions that I have to make it through this coming week (yes, I actually have to do all of those things this week.) I usually regret wasting the whole weekend on myself, but it truly is the only time when I get to take a step back from my busy life and just chill. 

3. Getting My Nails Done

I LOVE getting my nails done. I feel so much more feminine and ladylike with a nice manicure. That being said, the reason I feel guilty about manicures is knowing that I could paint my own nails with the dozens of nail polishes that I have at home instead of spending any where from $15-40 on my nails. Being in college has made me reconsider a lot of things that I spend money on and I realized just how much I spend on getting my nails done. I prefer shellac to acrylic nails, just because they don't damage your nails as bad, but you have to get them redone every 2 weeks and the money really racks up. 

4. Planning My Dream House/Life

I absolutely love almost all of the shows on HGTV and so I find myself scrolling through Pinterest looking at kitchens, bedrooms, wedding dresses, decor, and so many other aesthetic aspects of my future. I think as girls get older we all start to dream of our future lives and what we think/expect them to be like. The reason I feel guilty about this is that by the time I do buy a house, get married, and have kids, trends and styles will change, so I constantly worry that I waste a lot of time saving things that in a few years I will absolutely hate or that won't be realistic/reasonable. Plus, a lot of the considering I do is only one half of the bargain. The person that I marry may have very different dreams and plans for their dream house, children, etc. There will be a lot of things that have to be thought about when there are two brains working together instead of just one. 

5. Sweets

I think that I have a never-ending sweet tooth. I am always craving chocolate or something sweet. This makes me feel guilty because I am trying to adopt a healthy eating lifestyle and I will be doing so good and then I can't resist the urge to get some candy or get a raspberry sammie from Dr. Jack's. I have realized that if I don't keep junk food and sweets in the dorm, it makes it a lot easier not to give in. I've got to train my body to be satisfied with a treat every now and then and not need something every time I have a craving. 

6. Pajama Pants

I have a weird obsession with pajama bottoms. I don't know how it started or why I developed this love of pajama bottoms, but I have an abundance of them. Every year I get at least one new pair for Christmas and I think that I have some pairs that are at least 6 or 7 years old. At home I used to have an entire drawer dedicated to pj pants. I didn't bring all of my pajama bottoms to college with me, but I'm sure that if I did I would have at least a whole drawer full, maybe more. I don't really feel guilty about this pleasure of mine, I just really love pajama bottoms. 

7. Victoria's Secret Undies

 I think I am slightly more obsessed with undies from Victoria's Secret than I am with pajama pants. I probably have somewhere close to 35 or 40 pairs of them actually. I know it sounds really materialistic and picky, but I really only like VS panties. They are the most comfortable and long-lasting for my lifestyle. My favorite style is the bikini. They are just like the traditional undies but with really cute patterns and super comfort. I feel a little bit guilty about how expensive they are, but I typically only buy them when they are having the 7 for $27.50 sale. 

So there you have my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. Comment below what your most guilty pleasures are! ~Em
