What do you splurge on?

My splurge would be my hair aswell Tara. I used to dye it myself but in the end found the mess and the pain it caused my back (leaning over the sink or bath) was not worth the effort. So now I go to a small salon about every 6 weeks. It is a good excuse to relax, have a cup of tea and read whilst someone else is tending to my hair.
I have terrible soft nails, and being around paper all day they use to peel, bleed then get infected. So I get gel nails now. I also highlight my hair. Gotta cover that gray you know?

For me, it's definitely Starbucks coffee. It's the best place to unwind and read a book.
Aside from books, the other thing I'm currently splurging on are comics =D My brother and I recently got into reading comics so yeah, I've been making weekly trips to the comic book store lately...I also splurge on imported European chocolate every now and then xP
I splurge on comic books- currently The Sandman series, Suicide Squad and the rereleased Sailor Moon. I buy a new comic every time I hit a milestone in my writing! I also splurge at Comic Cons on prints and things- not too girly but I tend to be pretty thrifty with everything else! For example I love to buy dresses but I always go to TJmaxx and pick up the clearance gems :)

I still haven't gotten around to it because I've never read a comic before and I'm a bit intimidated. I've heard The Sandman series is supposed to be incredible, though. Did/do you love them?

Electronics. U don't want something to fail that could potentially kill you.

My book addiction is more quantity than cost splurge. They are all 12.99 or less But a book a day becomes an expensive habit too...
