little luxuries in the life of a grad student

1. buying a book that isn't required for grad school.

2. reading that book.  it feels illegal, frankly...it's such a luxury.  i just downloaded the light between oceans onto my kindle and have been reading it before bed and on the subway.  move over, group dynamics reading - i've got something more interesting to read.

3. trader joe's coconut body butter. dominique introduced this to me and i'm completely addicted.  it smells AMAZING and isn't greasy like a lot of hand creams can be (huge pet peeve of mine).  i put it on about 5 times a day and my hands are very happy.

4. i have succumbed to buying the gloves that it seems everyone in new york city has: fingerless gloves with a mitten that comes over the top.  the mitten part keeps your hands so warm, but when you want to text or look up directions on your iphone, you can do that without taking off your gloves (hands in gloves do not work on the iphone screen).  i love these and am so pleased with my purchase.

5. a bloody mary.  any time it is appropriate...so: any time i go out to brunch.  i have brunch plans tomorrow and i can't WAIT.
