Guilty Pleasures


A guilty pleasure is something that is considered as unusual or weird but is enjoyed by someone. It often induces a sense of embarrassment in the person. People have trouble in admitting their guilty pleasures. One persons guilty pleasure might be other persons public activity hence, it is very culture dependent in some cases. It can be anything like watching a very weird movie which no one likes, Food like chocolates or fries, TV show or some pop concert. Lets get into the list of ten most common guilty pleasures ;)
·  
       TELEVISION: You like trashy reality shows or some alien movies? SO WHAT? Many other people like them too. Don’t feel guilty about it!
FOOD: The MOST common guilty pleasure! You like to eat 10 bars of chocolates at a time? Or your cars back seat has always packs of fries? Or you like to eat a WHOLE tub of chocolate chip ice cream in one go? Welcome to the club.;) Ordering takeaway because you can’t be bothered to cook is another most common food related guilty pleasure.

·         RE-GIFTING: It is something I think many people do but few will admit. It fits the true definition of guilty pleasure. It’s so fun to take that lame gift and pass it on. No need to feel guilty because the person you gave it to will probably pass it on too!
·         DARK HUMOR: I know it’s offensive, cruel, rude and can hurt others feelings but some people find it really funny!
·        

STALKING PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Snooping through someone’s twitter, Facebook or Instagram is hell lot of fun but you might not want to tell this to everyone.

·        

TAKING COUNTLESS SELFIES UNTIL YOU GET THE PERFECT PICTURE: You certainly need a Instagram able picture right? And for that you might take 200 selfies just to post one perfect picture ;)

·         PROCRASTINATING: Curling up with a cup of tea and phone/magazine when you should be doing the chores or studying. Hah what a pleasure!

·         MOST COMMON GUILTY PLEASURES OF SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE:

·         Evan Rachel Wood: “Massages. I have to do it. I carry so much stuff around in my bag that massages are the one thing I will totally splurge on. I think body work is so important because it can ease your pain and your stress levels. Even when I travel, I’ll find a place to go wherever I’m staying.” – Allure, April 2013
·         Nene Leakes: “I’m a big potato-chip girl. I don’t like chocolate and cakes and all that, but I have to have my potato chips. I’ve got bags in the back of my car right now! But I never beat myself up about it, because, look: You can’t give up every damn thing. You need something in your life that you like just because you like it!” – Glamour, October 2012 of ice cream with a tequila chaser.”’ – Kotur, November 2011
·         Maya Angelou: On the hardest thing to moderate: “It might be cream. And butter. It might be wine? I do like wine a lot. My New York friends are so sophisticated, they said I couldn’t have a wine cellar cause I didn’t have a basement. So I built a little house outside, near the greenhouse, and I call it the West Wine Wing. [Laughs.]” – Time Out, February 2011
