Necessary luxury – Karen Rosen
Group Marketing Manager — Wisynco
My necessary luxuries might not even be considered luxuries at all, but here goes…
Firstly, I absolutely cannot do without my BlackBerry Bold; it’s glued to my hand. Whether it’s work, socialising — yes, I’ve got Facebook too — it’s an extension of me. My BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is a lifeline, and I’ve got some pretty cool friends on BBM to keep me company in my downtime.
Then there’s my computer — what else is there to say about it? There are some CDs that I can’t do without, because they serve as therapy for my daily commute to and from the office, and anywhere in general. I’m stuck on Alicia Keys right now, but there are a few others that form a part of my musical diet. Even though I hate to exercise, I have to have some good sneakers. I play netball competitively and comfortable shoes are a must.
I’ve got to have some make-up. I generally don’t leave the house without eyeliner! And finally, I’ve taken to the cinemas a lot lately, so movie tickets are a necessary luxury for me. Whether with my children or my friends, or even by myself… a steady stream of interesting flicks have had my interest.
