7 Guilty Pleasures Most Women Indulge In

Asides from the cool, calm, prim and proper girl you see on the outside, we often indulge in some guilty pleasures in the privacy of our own home.

We all do it, but for some reason we like to keep them a secret from the rest of the world. They bring us joy, and we can only assume it’s because our weird habits are our own little secret.

The urban dictionary says guilty pleasures are those things we shouldn’t like, but we like anyway. I think this is a contradiction in terms. They are things we do but don’t talk about to anyone.

Take a look at this list of guilty pleasures almost every girl indulges in.

1. Popping Pimples

No one likes a big pimple sitting pretty on their forehead or at awkface places on your face so you go ahead and pop it. Not to mention, you even like the grossness of seeing what comes out of it. We knows it’s wrong to pop pimples but we do anyway.

2. Gossip

Well, it doesn’t really matter what you’re complaining about colleagues at work, boyfriend, friends, life, we derive pleasure from a good complaining session with your close ones.

Sometimes we end up saying too much and that’s the guilty part.

3. Fantasizing

Fantasy is a pleasure. The guilt part is added to it depending on the extent to which you fantasize. Thinking about you and your boyfriend in bed is good. But girl! Fantasizing your boyfriend’s best friend might get you in trouble. So be careful not to fantasize out loud.

4. Trying on old clothes that we wish we could still wear

Over the years, our bodies mature and develop and we outgrow some of our favourite outfits. However, that doesn’t mean we’re not tempted to try it on and reminisce every now and then.

5. Dancing at home alone

Women will agree that some of their best dance moves originated right in their very home! With the music blasting and in your comfiest clothes, we can let our inhibitions free and enjoy the movement of the music through our bodies, pretend we’re in a music video and practice all our favorite moves and never tell a soul.

6. Stalking An Ex

Checking out your ex’s, or former friend’s, or hated coworker’s social accounts is a guilty pleasure almost every girl can admit to. We scour their Instagram and Snapchat for what they’re doing and whom they’re doing it with, we read between the lines of every Facebook status update or Tweet.

7. Doing it for social media

We’re all guilty of making our friends wait to eat so we can snap a photo of the table, or have taken tons of shots to make sure we look just right – sexy but not too sexy so it doesn’t look fake. We’ve artfully done things to show off on social media, and you may feel like a bit of an idiot while doing it, but it’s for your followers!
