Encouraging the Splurging Urge

I've been cheap most of my life. I rarely "splurge", and when I do, it's not what other people would consider splurging. I'm actually racking my brain right now trying to think of my latest "splurge"....

Full, flared skirts are everybody's friend

I really like what's in style fashion-wise right now. Most of the biggest trends are figure flattering to most people and the shoes aren't as painful. This is good for me, since the most painful shoes...

Finger's no match for fanny, hands down

So, I hate commuting. I mean, I truly hate it. I spend 3 hours a day getting to and from work. That's not fun. It is seriously not fun. Unfortunately, I work in D.C., and housing prices will keep me f...
