Caviar & Champagne Please

I actually hate caviar.
I want no more judgment. My heart can't take it anymore. I simply am ready to admit that I love the finer things in life and I would like that not to be a factor in my level of integrity of character. It's not fair. Everyone is so ready to criticize, but they don't see all the work and saving that happen behind the scenes. I like to reward myself heavily and frequently. I've earned the right to do that and many people comprehend how I spend my personal time as snobbish seem to not understand that.
I love wine. Expensive and cheap. I study it. I read industry articles on it in my spare time.
I love real estate. HGTV is my life. I am 22 and constantly reading up on property values and new hot cities to move to for up and coming professionals.
I love a rum that cost about $35 a bottle.
When I vacation I love to be in the most popular hotels.
I'd rather spend $45 dollars on what I have determined is the best foundation for my skin than $10 at CVS.
I enjoy coffee shops that make really good lattes and eateries that serve food from the freshest ingredients.
I'll never say no to a highly Zagat rated restaurant.
I no longer want to apologize for these things anymore because my life should be lived by my rules and without the judgement of the people around me. I don't look down on doing anything anyone else likes to do. I find myself diversified enough to make friends with anyone and to partake in activities they love to do that aren't crazily expenisve. I have a great time being more laid back too.
I'm not a snob, I like nice things, maybe you do as well. Don't box me in as some 1% dweller who can't relate or keeps her nose up in the air. That's not me. Never has been.
Now, excuse me while I go have a personalized cocktail at a career mixer.
