and you had to spend it only on yourself - what would you buy?

Jeans, I love them. Of course some new tops as well. Can't have enough clothes you know. If anything was left maybe some nice bath soap. I like those also.

Have you ever tried Lush bath products? They have really good soap.

I love that auto reply!!! DSW baby!!! :) But I hate to admit...100 bucks would just be a teaser. Oh, I know I would be able to find something that I could get. But all the other shoes in that store would be just so tempting!! :)

With only $100 I will have a full tank of gas because that is what I need most of the time going to and from work.

The first thing I'd do is spend about $35 on a manicure/pedicure! Then I would buy one or two new bras in Target or Walmart, and I'd still have a little left over to just browse and buy what pleases me in a discount store. I got kind of jazzed thinking about the possibilities of this. So often when I get a little extra money the thoughts are not just of me but of what I might need for my house or what my son might need. I'd love to spend a little just on me. It would be fun!

Manicure and pedicure in your country is expensive. Here in the Phil. its only 150 to 140 pesos.

probably work clothes and some Lush (yum!). I'm in dire need of work clothes but Lush is always so appealing, especially since they just opened their first store near me.

Lush is hard to say no too. I look at the page daily and have to tell myself no! I'm trying to use up what I have. What's the point of keeping a huge stash unless they are discontinueds?

If I had to spend it on me... I'd get two new bras from La Senza, from the Itec line, they're the most incredibly comfortable bras EVER! No seams or tags, and they fit sooo nicely.

Interesting. Do they have those underwires that break through and stab you? If not I'm buying some!

I'd put it towards the rent on this townhouse I reeeeeaaaaally want! We just visited it this afternoon and we're close to saying we'll take it. Either that or I'd buy myself a new tart burner/tarts for the bathroom and some really expensive chocolate.

MMMM chocolate. I haven't been able to eat any for weeks now because it hurts my wisdom teeth. They are coming out tomorrow - which is good because I saw some really yummy looking mint meltaways when I was in Macy's getting a birthday gift last week. I hope you get the townhouse!

Makeup....cause a girl is always trying to find that right shade. And when she does and needs more, they go and discontinue that shade. LOL Books....because I am always reading and always want a books waiting for me to read. I can not stand having an idle mind. A couple t-shirts....there was this funny tee I saw the other day that was about boyfriend bashing. My partner can't seem to appreciate that humor, but I love it! ha ha And that would probably be all I could get for 100 bucks. :) But let's say that I didn't spend it all...then I would apply the rest to my blood glucose test strips. Those things are not cheap!

Hi! I know what you mean! I started buying that Vital Radiance makeup (you know, for us slightly older gals LOL) then the ladies who work at Walgreens told me that the company is discontinuing that line this year. Grrrr! Isn't that frustrating!

I would buy a new tripod. I'd say that I'd buy a camera, but the ones I'm looking at are in the thousands range!

I go in spurts with my hobbies. I like to make rosaries, so for months at a time, I will browse jewelry/bead catalogs and buy beads. Then, I will get tired of that and paint. When I'm painting I'll buy painting books, paints and brushes and surfaces to paint on. Right now...I'm into reading. So, I'd probably go really crazy buying books to read. I love Star Trek books so I'd be looking for new Star Trek Voyager or Star Trek the Next Generation novels to buy!

What kind of rosaries do you make? I would really like an elegant victorian antiquey looking one...

I'm like that too! I'll go through weeks where I want to paint all the time, then get tired of it and start drawing/using conte and pastels, then start knitting for a couple weeks, it all changes with my mood and when I get tired of something. Right now I'm on a knitting spree because I just finished my first scarf this weekend, and I love it! I've been going through patterns trying to pick one for my next project.

100$ could buy me a whole lot of socks! I know that sounds weird but today I had the hardest time finding a bair of dark socks that didn't have any holes. I need to get some more.

That does look pretty cool! I have a giant bean bag at home... big enough for 3 people but this looks like it has more support.

I know what you mean. I have gotten some skindescent and skindazzles stuff from the lush forums... but I haven't placed my own order yet...
• Canada

Ooh yeah, right now I'd be really tempted to spend the whole $100 at skindecent.com, they have a promo on where you get a free huge 32oz scrub for spending $100! And I've been wanting to try their massage bars, which are also on sale right now, so I'd get those in a bunch of different scents! And a good tart warmer, 'cause I've got a Skindazzles order coming my way with a bunch of yummy sounding new tarts! Bath stuff is totally my addiction, but at least it's a lot healthier and cheaper than smoking or something!

I think $100 in our money would be about £60 I would buy myself a really nice pair of trousers for my up and coming job interviews, to impress future employers, any money left I would buy a good quality shirt to go with the trousers.

Absolutely just on myself? Probably a couple of video games. I'm not ashamed to admit i'm a video game junkie. Or maybe more RAM for my computer...hmmm...i could probably do both... what would you do with it?

Probably bath stuff. I can't help it... no matter how much bath stuff I have, I want more. It's a sickness. I have only been using Lush products for about 8 months but between Christmas, other gifts, me spending my own money and swaps/trades on the forum, I have about $800 worth of products...maybe more. I'm trying to be good and use it all up before I buy anymore... but I'm going to California and they have an actual store (I mostly buy online) and the store is having a party... and I know I'm buying some more. But after that I'm done until at least 60% of what I have now is gone. Hi my name is Jenn and I'm a lushaholic.

i know how you feel about books. My fiance travels for work and he gets me gift cards for the bookstore with his hotel points.

If I had to spend this only on myself then I guess I would have to treat myself to a gorgeous long purple velvet dress I have seen in a local shop.

Honestly? Imitrex. I've been getting horrible migraines for the past 3 months and I can't afford the Imitrex (migraine medicine) that my doctor prescribed.

I'd probably buy new clothes that I can use in my job hunting. If there is left, I'll just buy make-up. These are the only things I believe can be bought by the 100 bucks. LOL!!!
