What Should You Buy?

Nope, it's not an actual egg. It's an AMAZING ceramic grill. Hey, if you're going to grill, make it even greater, right? No gas or propane needed. It's like grill meets slow cooker meets smoker. You put hardwood charcoal in, add your food, and close the lid. The temperature is controlled by dampers. You can have coal-fired pizza at home--delicious.

No time to meditate? Exercise? Dance like you mean it? The one place where no one can bother you, watch you, or interrupt you is the shower. Make the most of it with a waterproof wireless speaker.

So you can't afford the major luxuries, but you can indulge. You think about buying new towels, but you never do. Stop stalling! Get at least one fluffy, huge bath sheet--the kind you could almost take a nap in straight out of the shower.

Your life needs a touch of whimsy. Even if your taste is 99 percent conservative, there's room in that 1 percent for something that makes you smile. Technically, if you think about it, it's high art. Plus it will keep you from tripping over things in the middle of the night--useful.

Don't get just any magazine though. What have you always wanted to do or know more about? Find out what magazines are devoted to that topic, and get a subscription to one. It's time to turn mild curiosity into knowledge. A real magazine will encourage you to take the time to actually sit down and immerse yourself in it instead of just scrolling to the end of the web page.

Sounds boring, but wait, there's more. You haven't had enough experiences lately. It's time to get out and do something. So figure out what it is that you're interested in. Then get a backpack. Fill that backpack with the accessories that fit the experience you want to have. Don't put anything else in it. If you want to take up outdoor photography, then fill it with maps of national parks and digital camera accessories. Or if you want to take up yoga, then fill it with yoga stuff. You get the picture.
