Adventures in Overspending

The hairbrush I resisted, the camera I justified, and the cat bow ties I couldn't pass up

Last night I sent Jen a video of a woman raving about a Mason Pearson hairbrush, saying how annoying it is when expensive things are actually better. Ten minutes later, Jen texted back: “I just bought it.”

First of all, it’s a $200 hairbrush. Two hundred American dollars! And I wasn’t sending the video so she’d buy it. I was sending it more like, “Do we need this?” Which I suppose is the same thing… but also kind of different?
