My fav luxury is a spa pedicure done by a man. Men do the best ones and give the best massage!! I can NOT live with out one especially during the summer when my feet are in the open all the time.
My 2nd luxury is an expensive purse. I don't know why but I feel weird if I have a cheap purse. I got that from my MOM!!
I don't know why I did this poll without knowing my answer. Well, I have to say the Aveda hair mask I truly love. And my Droid, though I just learned I can live without it during the holidays I just missed it a lot!
Does eating out count? Me and H eat out 2 to 4x a week and although it's expensive, it's such a great way for us to get out and take a load off. I love it.

Going on vacation. It's so important for me to get the hell out of here at least once a year! We make sure to budget & plan so we can, no matter what, even with all the expense of infertility tx.

I have to agree with the purse thing. I also love getting my hair done. It's the best when they wash your hair! Oh and I can't pass up a good spa pedi!

My favorite luxury is a monthly facial. It adds up and can get a bit pricey but it seriously makes me feel good and helps me relax. Anything that can help me w/ relaxation is worth every cent!

I'm lovin' so many of this answers--trips and food especially. But for me, the one thing I tend to "treat" myself to quite a bit, is a pedicure! LOVE it. . .actually, I think I'm about due for one

Conditioning hair treatment, which comes with a fabulous scalp massage. If you never had a scalp massage, you have to try it, it is amazingly relaxing!
I love going to the spa for massages, facials, and pedicures. I don't do any of them very often, but I always intend to go a few times a year. I actually have a massage scheduled for next week pre my work busy season, and I'm thinking I need to book a facial too!
I also love love to travel. I require DH that we go on at least one nice vacation a year. However, if I ever actually get KU and get to be a SAHM, I agreed to forego that.

I am guilty for getting my nails done every 2 weeks. I love the time with the other ladies gossiping and just being able to leave work and ttc behind and de stress. I also made a new friend who gets her nails done the same time as me and found out she is also seeking treatment and now we are ttc buddies its kinda nice to have someone else to talk to who understands.
I am also a purseaholic! But im a Coach girl all the way!!! I honestly do not carry any other bag now! My work/messenger bag is Coach, my personal bag, id holder necklace, wallet, wristlets, gloves, scarf, etc. I think its a sickness. I told DH for my 30th i want a cake with the Coach C's on it in purple But i got smart and now only buy in the outlets when they have 20% off your entire purchase!

I'm a purse snob
I also thoroughly enjoy good lotions/creams (face, hands, body). I can live without it, for sure, but I really love it.
After 2 1/2 years TTC, 3 IUI's, endo, and a lap, a surprise BFP brought us Alexandra Marie!

Oh boy....I love all of it! Except the pricey purses, I have never had one and I am fine without it.
Realistic - going to happen luxeries -
my morning coffee and annual vacations, although this year kinda sucked in the vacay department...
Real treats - (read, if we can afford it)
facials, massages and highlights for my hair
I love Odwalla Mango Tango juice. So much that I'm a little obsessed with it. Its not a Coach purse like luxuary but its one I can afford lol
