So, I have never been one for thinking about what my guilty pleasures are. When I was in Secondary school, my friends always talked about theirs but it would be an artist or actor or something similar. I never understood why something you enjoy would be a guilty pleasure. In order for me to write this one, I did go to google and found some typical guilty pleasures and wanted to see if I had any that are common and I managed to find a few!
The first one I saw, that I knew was definitely me straight away was ordering takeout when I cant be bothered to cook. Now, I have always been interested in cooking and baking and everything, but I don’t have the motivation to do it. I have always stuck to something simple, and quick if I am the one cooking. But, because I stick to quick and simple, it gets a bit repetitive. My boyfriend cooks, and actually likes to. But I think both of our favourites to cook (mainly him, I just help with the cheese) is Carbonara. Very tasty! Also, good example of ordering food because I couldn’t be bothered to cook actually was the other night, my parents were sharing a pizza and I didn’t fancy anything that was in the freezer, so I went and ordered Domino’s Pizza. Best idea because it was so tasty. Normally, if I did resort to takeaway, it would either be the pizza or a Chinese.
Another one, which I think is everyones guilty pleasure, is always saying one more episode. Whether it be something on tv, Netflix or even YouTube. I get so sucked into whatever I choose to watch that I just keep saying one more. If me and my boyfriend choose to start a new series, and we both get into it, we always say one more before going to bed. One recent series I found addictive because of how different and weird it was, was Big Mouth. Brilliant series on Netflix and I was addicted. Same with Sex Education on Netflix as well. I have recently found a YouTuber as well that I absolutely love and am always laughing at because I can relate to her so much, is Jazzybum.
My last guilty pleasure that I am going to talk about is treating myself. I have such a bad habit when it comes to “treating myself”. Whenever something in my life happens, I always treat myself afterwards to something even if there was no need for it. There was a time a few months back, I went for a job interview, came out of it and messaged my best friend about finishing it and literally said “time to treat myself” and then went and bought a new jacket. I remember a year and a half ago, I was going through some stuff and I ended up treating myself to two new Pandora rings as well! At the moment though, I do have a habit of buying bikinis and summer clothes. Bear in mind, I live in England and I have no holiday booked but I am pretty sure I have more summer clothes that winter clothes. So, yeah, treating myself is definitely my biggest issue!
What about you? What are your guilty pleasures?
