Did It Just Wink At Me?

My sister has a favorite explanation for succumbing to a purchase. She simply states, "It winked at me." When something "winks" at Kathy, we all know how irresistible it had to be. Really, this is a good rule to follow for an unnecessary article, regardless if the expense is big or small. Is it something so desirable, unusual, or perfectly suitable, that it actually does more than just call you over to take a look? If you walk away without it, will you later regret it? Is something telling you to take it home and you will love it for a very long time? Sometimes it's a good thing to give into such a passionate purchase. How will you know you should really buy it? Next time just ask yourself, "Did it just wink at me?"

A Cherry on the Sundae

Have you ever been served a chocolate sundae without a cherry? Never! You don't need one to make it taste better, it already tastes great. You can always skip the whipped cream and nuts, but the cherry--well, without one it isn't a real sundae! Sometimes, when I look in the mirror I know something is missing--it's the cherry--the one accessory that finishes the outfit.

Next time you feel something is missing with your appearance, think of a cherry. It's simple, sweet, and colorful. Now, what piece of jewelry will fill that roll? Is it a pair of earrings that brings out your shirt's color, or maybe some beads, pearls or an enhancer that highlights your dress neckline? The cherry is that one accessory that goes on top and makes it all so delicious!
