Kind of spinoff: What do the mommies want, but won't spend the money on?

The other thread got me thinking of all the items I need/want but don't buy. What is it that you are eyeing that you just can't justify to spend the money on?

For me its the clarisonic.

Re: Kind of spinoff: What do the mommies want, but won't spend the money on?

I don't really want for anything... well, except a nice pair of diamond earrings, but I just can't bring myself to buy it for myself. But, after recent events, maybe I will splurge one of these days. Either that, or a nice, long vacation to Europe.

Re: Kind of spinoff: What do the mommies want, but won't spend the money on?

there is really nothing I can think of, maybe highlight my hair? I don't know . I don't do it bc partly I do love my natural hair color and partly bc I know it costs too much to keep up with it and I don't see myself spending so much on my hair , so I think I'll hold off until I go gray so I have a good reason to do it

A cleaning lady

Getting my hair professionally colored (I do it myself now so I do a dark color, but I'd love to go lighter again... too much work, takes too long, and costs too much for me to justify)

Mani/Pedis (I do them myself now, but no where near as often as I should)

Nothing I'm lusting for.
I could use new clothes in my "new" size but I feel like it distracts me from getting back into my old clothes.

Vacation sounds nice. But $$ isn't holding me back (although it could be part of it). I would love to feel good about leaving the kids for a long weekend and going to the Caribbean or something like that with DH.

Re: Kind of spinoff: What do the mommies want, but won't spend the money on?

A cleaning lady.

A gym membership to Synergy (which if i could afford I would fit it into my schedule because it's the one gym with the crazy hours I need!)

Re: Kind of spinoff: What do the mommies want, but won't spend the money on?

A haircut. I'd rather spend the 60 bucks taking Ava out to some different places during the week.

New flooring for our play room. We have an old gross carpet in there, the last of the old and gross carpets in the house and it hasn't been a monetary priority to replace it.

I want to redo the half bath on the first floor. Nothing fancy, I already have the tile to put down, but need a new toilet and sink. We spent the money to send Ava to camp instead. Wish I had extra money to do this, though.

I also want a landscaper, but won't spend the money for one because I'm not allowed My husband swears he can take care of it, yet we look like the abandoned house on the block this summer

Re: Kind of spinoff: What do the mommies want, but won't spend the money on?

Oh where to start:

I would love to have a cleaning lady
An interior decorator since I have no clue
New wardrobe
A facial
A disney vacation
