We don't know about you, but we totally have frugality fatigue.
Like everyone else, we've cut back in our spending considerably, and we mean, REALLY, REALLY cut back. The kind of cut back where life stops being fun!
While there is some joy in seeing how many ways you can save money, there's a lot more joy in spending a little on yourself once in a while. It doesn't have to be a lot. Sometimes just something simple like a new lipstick could just make your day.
This year we are starting a new category called Affordable Luxury. It's our version of a new lipstick. You know, little things that don't cost much but make your life a bit more cheerful? Something that gives you a high, however temporary?
Our first item:
This faux fox throw is from Wildcat Territory. It's 80" x 48" and costs $399. We love it accross a chair, a chaise or a bed. It adds instant luxury to a room, but most importantly, because it's so soft and fuzzy, it's great for a cold day.
