Better still, I shared this adventure with my Mom, for whom I purchased a lipstick. She was treated with care as I indulged in product. This hectic week is done, and I am ready for a new one.

Today's luxury choice
I have been in transition regarding my personal care products. I never have been too concerned about these products. However, as I age, I am finding that product is critical, for my hair and skin. Also, makeup makes all the difference now, as never before. Recently, I notices a Blue Mercury store nearby. I remember reading about the founding of this company, and being extremely impressed. Visiting the store in hopes of finding a new go to location has been an open item. Today I closed it with great success! I love what I bought, the ideas that I got, and the beauty bug that I caught.

Chosen luxury - bracelet
Today I purchased my first Alex and Ani bracelet! I have been thinking about this purchase for some time now. For the past few months, fate has landed me at references to this company. More recently, I noticed that a shop was opening in Wayland Square, my new favorite area. The shop now is open!
After much contemplation, I chose the path of life charm for my first, but certainly by no means my last, bracelet.
The timing of this luxury is perfect, as I am feeling that I am giving so much with little reward of any kind. I choose to reward myself with this luxury and the luxury of a run later today.

Chosen Luxury - Running Revamp - Garmin Forerunner Trainer
Tonight, I downloaded the Garmin Training Center CD for my latest luxury, a Gramin Forerunner 205/305 GPS-enabled trainer for runners. This is fabulous!
Obtaining this product was simple with the new system I have in place, given that I want what I want when I want it. Often, I get overwhelmed with information/product overload. Now, rather than searching too much for not, I simply spend a bit of time on Consumer Search, part of about.com, and decide what product would satisfy my needs. Then, after a quick switch to the Amazon website, my research and purchase are complete. A day or two later, my chosen luxury arrives, and I am stresslessly satisfied.
I have run several times with my Garmin, with huge success. After taking the few minutes to download the Traning Center, I have discovered a new toy that will bring me such pleasure.
While I could spend too much time with my new toy, I am satisfied to know that my satisfaction is high regardless of my use level. For example, I have not even begun to understand the heart rate functions. I can save them for another day. For now, I will digest the fun I have had thus far....

Chosen luxury -- audible.com membership
For so many reasones, learning and books are extra important to me right now. Recently, my son commented that we have so many books in our house; I cherished that comment because I want him to develop my love for books.
At the beginning of this year, I treated myself to an audible.com membership because I don't always have time to read books in paper or Kindle format. In 2010, I developed my love of listening. The many podcasts I regularly listen to through iTunes are so fun! I also enjoyed the few audiobooks I listened to.
My audible membership is just over 1 month old, and I recently finsihed listening to my second book. I also love the extended New York Times audio that I receive (sometimes I want more than The Front Page podcast) because my paper subscription is limited to the Sunday edition. The interview with Kathryn Stockett was wonderful; The Help is waiting in my library for download.
My son also is having fun with this membership. He has all of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, which are a bit above his reading level. He reads some pages, and I read some pages to him. We downloaded one of the books from audible, and now he can listen on the iPod Touch while he reads along in the paper format!
The book I just finished is, The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets: How to Keep your Portfolio up (unabridged) by Peter D. Schiff. The review I wrote is entitled, I learned, therefore, I liked. This book was part of my finance focus. I am glad that I listened to this book because the extremely detailed parts may have resulted in my not getting to the end, which I enjoyed. Most importantly, I learned that the small role I play in my investments is sufficient. I don't think that I want to devote additional time and energy to my investment strategy.
