I really shouldn’t…

Buy these dishes from Anthropologie

dishes from Anthropologie

But how cute are they?

 

Spend time on the B & H Photo website or any photography or camera gear website

Canon cameraI could drop thousands on photography stuff from lenses to camera bodies in no time flat.  The Tsunami in Japan has effected the worldwide supply of many lenses and camera bodies with very indefinite ETA’s for them being re-stocked.   That just feeds my buying desires.

 

I really shouldn’t eat too many of these Caramelized Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Chickpea “Peanuts”

They are so good.  But beans + my stomach = a very low threshold of compatibility.  But they taste so good going down!

 

Go into Victoria’s Secret right now.

Their semi annual sale just started and buying lingerie and comfy clothes that I didn’t even know I needed, sounds fun.  You know that feeling of just because it’s “on sale”, all of a sudden I feel this urge that I “need it”.  You all know that feeling.  The outlet mall shopping phenomenon: You never wanted it til you saw it and it was marked down. From bras to roasting pans, anything marked down just makes me happy.

I really shouldn’t make cream cheese frosting just to eat.

But I might.

Adding a brownie along with a bowl of frosting is entirely optional.

From my last post with the Caramelized Ginger & Olive Oil Roasted Beets, I am glad you liked the recipe and that maybe you’re feeling inspired to try beets now.  Yes, you really should.

  1. I shouldn’t spend so much time on the internet looking at blogs…im am addicted!! I love finding new ones!! Yours is awesome. :) oh and I shouldn’t eat so much ice cream, but I do….im obsessed about it too.

  2. oh dang, Averie! the chickpeas look sooooo delicious! And I agree~the plates are so pretty. I really shouldn’t work out too intensively today b/c I’m sore from working out after Lasik recovery, but I think I still will. I guess I won’t fuuuuuulllly listening to my body today hehe. have a beautiful Saturday girl!

  3. Sometimes its wonderful to do the things you really shouldn’t ;). Right now I’m thinking about taking a long freaking nap…..but I feel like I should really do the 8 million other things I should do. We’ll see what wins!

  4. I really shouldn’t keep indulging in all of your dessert recipes, but….oh who cares? They rock!

  5. I still have yet to go to Victoria’s Secret! They just opened the first store in Canada, about an hour drive from my house. I need to run by there one day.

  6. I love browsing through Anthropologie, but I haven’t purchased anything yet for some reason. Those dishes are totally cute! So true on photography gear or any techie gear for us!

    For me – I really shouldn’t be browsing vegan shoes on DSW and Zappos, but I could use a new pair for work and damn, those wedges would be fun on weekends. :-)

  7. i really shouldn’t spray tan, because i think it’s equally unhealthy for my inner body, but i do anyway because i’ve been thoroughly scared of being in the sun without 70+SPF and i still like to have some color on my skin–albeit a slight orange hue (even though they say it looks natural)

    ps i’d buy those plates too, but i know how expensive they are…your $1 find pink bowl and plates are equally gorgeous! i am a big thrift store person…

  8. I really shouldn’t have eaten all those gf cupcakes yesterday, but I did (they did have zucchini in them). Now I am thinking I shouldn’t go to VS or Anthropologie. I probably won’t but I really want to. If I had the time today I probably would go to VS. Since I just threw a bra away I could make that a “should” right?

  9. This plates are sooooo fun! I am addicted to Anthropologie everything.
    Not for want of much right now – – always on the hunt for more time in the day though ;)

  10. I really shouldn’t be online right now but I probably will comment on anyway because I love your blog!
    The dishes look awesome.

  11. Ha ha, Averie, you are too cute ;) THANK GOD I am not the only “freak” out there who makes frosting J-U-S-T for the true, divine pleasure of eating it. Or baking cakes/cookies just to devour the MUCH-better-than-the-baked-stuff batter, lol ;) Enjoy your weekend!
    Much love, Maria

  12. Oh man…I’m trying to get RID of stuff now that we know we’re moving into a much smaller house. I did NOT need to see those anthropologie dishes :-)

  13. I really shouldn’t go shopping today. But, I’m bored and kind of in a funk and buying myself some pretty things is always a sure-fire way to cheer myself up!

  14. I really shouldn’t go to Starbucks for my caffeine fix every morning, but I probably will go anyways… if just for the steamed soy toppers. ;)

    Those dishes are so pretty! I know for a fact that you’ve gotten dishes for dirt cheap at thrift stores, so a splurge now and then is totally acceptable. I think it’s all a little give and take – if we never bought or did something we maybe “shouldn’t”, we’d be denying ourselves of things we truly love and enjoy that make us happy, and a lot of amazing experiences with some of our best, treasured memories. :)
