Hubby. Why, because he's free. Actually, he does the best color job I've ever had done, so why not. I’ll admit to liking the bottles of shampoo and conditioner to match. <br /><br />I like the best in clothes, food, shoes, handbags, etc. However, I do wait for sales, that way I feel like I've gotten a bargain.<br /><br /> I need good Irish breakfast tea but I savor Hershey’s chocolate.Pat Marinellinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-70476525813432094002011-03-14T18:11:54.908-04:002011-03-14T18:11:54.908-04:00For someone as...frugal... as I am I'm easily ...For someone as...frugal... as I am I'm easily swayed - just googled Jo Malone - Heading over to the mall to get a sniff of assam and grapefruit cologne.

(I'm delighted to day my son received a judges commendation for his performance and his high school brought home the silver medal - high praise in such a crowded and competitive field.)<br /><br />This directly relates to my irresistible splurge: expensive seats at the theater. I know intellectually the music sounds just as good in the mezzanine, but when I go to the symphony or pops concert, I want orchestra! I know that it's absolutely ridiculous to pay north of $150 for front-half-of-the-house seats to a Broadway show, but I do it every time. I will march into the box office determined to be budget-wise and sensible, and walk out with four tickets that cost as much as a mink coat. (Okay, a mink coat on sale.) <br /><br />Dunno if it's falling for marketing - more like my own snooty standards.<br /><br />My captcha word: "Epilesse."

After spending a fortune on health food store shampoos that only worked for a few weeks, I discover Toni&Guy Antidotes (I use #1). Of course I buy the big bottle twice a year when it goes on sale :-)<br /><br />And Kaye, don't get me started on Jo Malone . . .It's the mix and match thing that is so seductive. Haven't tried the new tea scents, but I did sample almost everything in the Sloane Square shop when I was in London--but didn't buy.

Luckily my lovely husband will use anything left over. (He who will sort through our trash just be make sure there aren't any objects still useable.)
