It’s rare that I write sponsored posts on this blog, but three things swayed me in favour of the Skinny Cow Ice Cream Cookies invitation:
- I get to hold a giveaway for one of you to win a $150 Westfield Gift Voucher. $150 could buy you many bars of chocolate. Or a pair of boots. Or glitter-encrusted sunglasses.
- Skinny Cow Ice Cream Cookie samples. Despite my lactose intolerance and vegan-inclinations, I succumbed to the delicious sugary frozenness.
- The theme of “overindulgence” prompted a longwinded discussion with myself inside my headmind.
Let’s take these points in reverse order. The concept of overindulgence is, to me, rather foreign. A side effect of overthinking everything and being prone to anxiety-based (non-edible) frozenness is that I rarely spontaneously overindulge and feel guilty later.
Exploring Harajuku, Tokyo in June 2006
Instead, I overindulge after consciously deciding to treat myself. I don’t believe in feeling guilty for eating dessert every night (or eating eleven desserts in one night), or for splurging on an entire new outfit at Cue after not buying any clothes in eight months.
Why yes, that is an embroidered toilet roll holder behind me in the shower room.
For me, the hardest thing to “treat” myself to is time. Time just for me, time to while away hours reading on the couch, or jot down notes for a novel instead of a blog post, or sketch out plans for a new adventure. Because, in truth, my biggest indulgence, my lifeblood-necessity indulgence, my favourite overindulgence, is travel.
Feeding the fish during an Undersea Walk in Mauritius, April 2004
When I travel, I allow myself to be, to do, to eat, to dance, to stay silent, to laugh out loud and indulge without guilt or the pressure to conform to expectations. Since starting this blog, I’ve been able to share my travel indulgences with you wonderful people and, thereby, relive them all over again. That makes me joyful.
Who needs to see the top of The Eiffel Tower anyway? March 2010
So that’s my take on overindulgence. I splurge on silence for my heart and soul, I splurge on delicious food without attaching moral judgements, and I splurge on travel. I love it all.
As for these new Skinny Cow Ice Cream cookies in vanilla, caramel, and chocolate, they’re positioned within Skinny Cow’s Month of Indulgence. However, to me, dessert is less an indulgence than a necessity. According to my sources, these treats are now 15% bigger yet still low in fat, and devoid of artifical flavours. My favourite flavour was the caramel with its blend of not-too-sweet-rich-cocoa-cookies and butterscotch-esque-creamy-ice-cream. That said, I truly enjoyed every flavour, particularly when I ate three in a row upon arriving home after the ANU School of Music’s epic four hour concert last week. Mmm, delicious low-fat ice cream midnight snacks.
Last but not least, Skinny Cow is offering a giveaway of a $150 Westfield Voucher to one of my readers. All you have to do is answer the following question:
What is your biggest indulgence?

And now, with that, I’m going to move away from the computer and treat myself to the indulgence of curling up on the couch and either finishing Lolita or starting Game of Thrones. I suggest you treat yourself too.
I’ve always wanted to try one of those but can’t decide which flavour to get!! hehe I’ll probably get the caramel ones first!
Good giveaway sexy dynamite ;P
Yeah, that sign totally describes me… *rolls eyes*
My biggest overindulgence would have to be my food (did you not guess?) If I can’t go to a super-fancy restaurant, then I’ll stay at home and cook and bake till my hearts content. It doesn’t hurt that the apartment always feels so cozy afterwards.
Clothes shopping was never really for me, so we’ll stick to splurging on chocolate
Chocolate > clothes in my world too. Well, unless it’s a really pretty dress versus compound chocolate. Then clothes win.
Oh, and I already follow you on Twitter
Grapes!
I have such issues with an ice cream brand that calls themselve Skinny Cow, but I will look past that and moderate my commet as per your recent moderation of thoughts relating to Lindt strawberry intense
You summed up my thoughts on indulgence so beautifully and so accurately that it reminded me, again, of the magic of my own perspectives being held by someone else. I don’t feel guilty for ‘indulging’ in the way that ‘indulgence’ is typically meant. Those sorts of indulgences are planned and treasured and sometimes aren’t even indulgences at all but necessities (hello chocolate), as you point out. I sometimes feel guilty for not being able to stop, or do it all, or get to everything on my To Do list today, and that makes the biggest indulgence of all being able to say Today I am Doing Nothing Productive. It happens rarely.
Also – we started Game of Thrones recently and after a worrying first episode (too much fighting and blood…) I am completely drawn in and in love with it
Also also, sorry for writing such a long comment :S
Never never apologise for that, Kari! I loved this comment so completely because I agree with every particle of it (from the name of the product to the indulgence [well, of course
] to Game of Thrones. I’ve just started reading the first one and am thrilled that the writing is wonderful, as fantasy books can tend to be poorly written! (I’m holding off on watching the second season of GoT until I’ve read a bit more.)
Though they’re not vegan, free gift certificates will never go astray. Though I’ll have to locate the nearest westfield…
Biggest indulgence: at the moment, coco jam. I bought some when I was shopping by myself, and it is basically coconut milk and sugar, cooked until it is thick and sticky. I love it so much!
That. Is. Awesome. Vegan dulce de leche!!
Oh, and I just followed your blog’s facebook page.
And also, already follow you on Twitter. Does that count?
Yep!
My biggest indulgence is time to lie on the couch with a big bag of twisties, a big glass of white wine and a good book (and with no-one talking or meowing at me).
That sounds absolutely perfect (though I’d personally switch Twisties for something sweet
)
The wine and the book sound good to me … but not the twisties. Kettle potato chips could be a goer though.
Plain or Chilli only though!
At the risk of sounding unoriginal, time is most certainly my biggest indulgence at the moment (certainly wouldn’t turn my nose up at $150 worth of chocolate or ice cream or other splurging though!).
Enjoy your time curled up on the couch with whatever you watch, hope it is restorative …
I want to sink into the back of my couch and never come out again right now.
You poor thing, that’s such a stinky feeling
A sinky feeling too!
Fully aware I am ineligible for this prize but I just wanted to say how ecstatic I am that some American goodies are popping up in Oz and vice versa. I’m definitely seeing an increase in some Australia-bred companies at the store.
Seriously?? That’s awesome! What Aussie goodies are over there?
Corn Thins and the Austalian Chia Seed Company that I used to by at Woolworths religiously. Oh also 2xu is popping up everywhere
2xu? No idea what that is. Off to google I go!
Wow! You have done so much traveling. Even Mauritius! I have always wanted to go to Mauritius ever since going to South Africa where the plane for my return flight stopped in Mauritius – what a beautiful place! These skinny cow ice creams do look great. I know for sure my kids would love me to stock up my freezer with those! xx
The Mauritius thing was the result of months of wheedling my parents following a tourism video watched in Year Ten French class. If I’d known the wheedling would work, I’d have picked Paris
(In fairness, I had to pay for my own flights.)
Travelling is my lifeblood.
But as I recollect … the flights to Paris weren’t that much more expensive. Flying to Mauritius is pretty costly. Time was an issue I think?
Also, everyone goes to Paris, right? You and I have something special in having experienced Mauritius together
Ooo never tried these but they sound delicious! My latest indulgence was purchasing Donna Hay’s Fast, Fresh and Simple cookbook (another one of my BookDepository impulse buys….)
It is hard to quantify what my biggest indulgence is.
In terms of $$ then it is travel. Oh how I love to travel, I will get to see the top of the Eiffel tower in 3 weeks! I really hope I impart my love of travel on to S because the poor guy is just going to have to do it a lot more even if he doesn’t love it.
In terms of food, it is hot chips. Oh I love my chocolate, I love it in many different ways. But nothing quite instantly fills my mouth with saliva like the smell of hot chips and vinegar. Oh gah, even just thinking about it I’m salivating.
In terms of clothing, I indulge in footwear. I love shoes. I love them irrationally, they make me happy, just even looking at them. When my best friend rang me and said “I just bought some really impractical shoes” I responded with “they must be fabulous!”.
Oh and apparently I indulge in words! Sorry for the long reply.
Oh my squeee Paris!!! The best the best of happiness! You must eat more Berthillon than you think possible, okay? Ah, these poor not-yet-travel-indoctrinated people! We’ll win ‘em over eventually. The aforementioned Berthillon should help
Funny, I’m not much into hot chips, but I do love pouring (yes, pouring) vinegar over when I do eat them! Oh, and yes shoes. I own very few fancy pieces, but my 3-4 high wacky heels make my soul sing
Love love the long reply! Thank you
Oh and I followed you on twitter – hope your voice recovers!
Good for you writing a sponsored sponsored post!
I loved your travel photos!
I don’t think I massively over-indulge regularly – although I’m sure my blog readers would disagree! Instead, I treat myself (“Treat yo’self!”) in a small way every day by taking the time to appreciate the little things – sitting down to appreciate a nice cup of coffee rather than inhaling it on my way to the station, watching an episode of my favourite show without being distracted by the computer, things like that!
xox Sarah
Bahahaha! Thank you for pointing out the typo (truly!) and for doing so in a way that made me laugh. I guess my subconscious really wanted everyone to be aware that this was sponsored
Love your ‘small moments’ take on indulgence. So important. Also, Parks and Rec FTW.
OK the sexy dynamite photo is fantastic! You totally nailed that look. So I’m thinking that instead of Blue Steel, your new look is “Sexy Dynamite”!
Oh Lorraine, I had written and deleted and rewritten so many responses to this relating to being single but, ultimately, can’t quite bring myself to click publish as I’ve actually actively chosen this single state for the time being!
Still, I’m going to work on honing “Sexy Dynamite” for a time when my views change
Man the name of that company makes me angry every time. But I would still probably eat these (if they were free!)
Biggest indulgence? Probably time out for myself… if feel so guilty these days taking a “break” from Misty – I feel like I’m not doing my “job” as a Mum!
I know exactly what you mean, Lou. Eeek, I don’t know how I’d cope with that aspect of guilt if I ever have kids! I think you’re doing pretty well. At least you allow yourself the time to blog!
Appropriately, my indulgence is definitely all things sweet, especially chocolate! Sometimes (almost) any chocolate will do, but I have a special fondness for the expensive kind – if you’re going to have chocolate, you may as well do it right.
Amen, sister.
I love it when people stop thinking of good food as an “indulgence” and begin thinking of good food as a right. It’s ok to eat dessert and to order another glass of wine and to serve your family a delicious meal without freaking out about fiber content. (I’ve been reading In Defense of Food this week… can you tell??)
Anyway, rant over. I love that travel is your indulgence. It’s certainly mine. Travel is a gift that we give ourselves. Love it!
This is my kind of rant
Agreed utterly, my dear! Though I’ve only read The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Pollan so far.
Travel. Oh my heart.
My biggest indulgence is the square of Lindt I have every day after doing my yoga. I really savour it and can totally appreciate Charlie Bucket’s habit of enjoying his tiniest bites of his Wonka bar, making it last as long as possible. Mmm, Wonka bar.
Replace “square” with “half a block” and “after yoga” with “while reading” and I’m right there with you, Siobhan
Also, I followed you on Twitter.
Aso, I liked you on Facebook XD
Cool post and awesome giveaway my friend – I can’t say my biggest indulgence is eating because I do that all the time anyway

I think it would have to be travel shopping – I have this tendency to continuously want to buy exotic looking objects from different countries
1. As a memento
2. Because I believe each country makes everything different
This is why more often than not, I come home with 2 bags instead of the 1 I took
Cheers

The last two big overseas trips I’ve done, I’ve both times bought extra suitcases in New York just to bring back all the chocolate and non-edible goodies I’ve bought.
My biggest overindulgence? Crackers with french onion dip. DIVINE, except for all the dairy and the gluten
Sometimes the pain is worth it.
I know I can’t enter, but my biggest indulgence (or guilty secret) was eating Milo straight out of the tin.
I miss Milo…..
I tried this trick with Horlicks Malt Powder the other day. Didn’t work, very gross. And then I saw that one of the top ingredients in it is flour, and the grossness started to make sense.
I suspect I’m a little odd. My indulgence is ……… health food stores (and any kind of organic or niche food store!). I’ll pay phenomenal prices for something that is new or different (hello Artisana coconut butter) from the usual suspects we find over here.
I used to live in Canberra and the Belconnen markets and that little vegetarian store at Griffith shops are missed almost daily.
Mountain Creek is my happy place. And the organic fruit and veg place a few stores down that not only sells raw snacks, but offers samples of them too.
I’m the same kind of odd
I just followed you on facebook (how can I resist extra entries?!!)
Twitter too (now I feel like I’m obsessive or something with 3 posts in a row
)
I have been eyeing these off in the supermarket recently. I LOVE ice cream sandwiches. I want them now. My biggest indulgence? My Friday mornings spent drinking coffee and shopping at the Victoria market. I have one blissful day a week off and spend I spend it with me (and all the fruits and vegetables). Probably doesn’t sound like much, I know. But every Friday morning I feel like the luckiest person in the world. x
(Followed and followed.)
I know exactly what you mean by such blissful, perfect, peaceful, self-and-soul-cherishing quiet restorative bliss. Oh how I need some of that now. xoxo
Novels are my biggest indulgence. They are comfort food for my soul. There is something so soothing about curling up with a great book; the rest of the world ceases to exist.
11 desserts in one night – there is no one like you Hannah! So cute.
Today I was in Westfield Sydney and saw the warmest, cutest pair of pink ugg-type boots at Peter Alexander. They cost $149.95. Tempting but I didn’t indulge. I’m sure I could handle the minus 3 degrees nights here if I was wearing them!
Oh yes, oh yes. In the past few weeks, I’ve allowed myself that escape, that bliss, that comfort food, and it’s helped calm my anxious heart.
My Ugg boots cost more than that. Ugh. But they were doctor-prescribed, so there wasn’t much I could do. I wish they were pink, and had sparkles….
As I’ve read through everyone’s comments I’ve been trying to come up with something I enjoy overindulging in. I’m sure my fella could come up with a few options (like my crazy love of Psychic Cat? like my insatiable appetite for the internet? like my desire to create a 4,000 calorie/day diet for myself on days when I don’t exercise [which are most days]?)… but I’m not so sure.
I don’t really think overindulgence is an applicable term for me. If I do something and I love it, where is the ‘over’indulgence in that? Sure, I can easily drop $100 on chocolate when I visit Boston or NY, but how often is that? That’s like once a year. I justify things such as this by following up with something along the lines of “Divide that $100 over the number of days I enjoy it, or remember enjoying it. That’s not so expensive… it’s like eating out or going to the movies.”
I suppose since it’s my life and my choices and my desires, I can construe it however I wish;)
Exactly! I am with you 100%. And your lovely comment deserves a better response than this, but my mind is not in a safe place to be allowed to type freely, so I shall leave you with simply my unconditional support.
xoxo, non-safe mind heart. be well!
I think my overindulgence would be books. I can’t get enough of them, reading is my “Goodbye world for a while, I’m outta here” thing. Chocolate is the best thing to eat while reading, and in this weather, drinking hot chocolate is even better.
It’s funny that ice cream promotions seem to be more in winter each year – I get that it’s a slow season but brrrrrrrrrr… still tastes good though, worth rugging up by the heater to enjoy it
Your indulgence is perfect, perfect. I’ve just recently been allowing myself that bliss again – escaping into another world through a book and slowly, slowly sipping a hot drink. And yes, eating ice cream in front of a heater is a special kind of magic, albeit one bad for the environment
Liking your facebook (can’t see why I didn’t do it long before this)
Teehee, thank you!

I suspect that my indulgence is indulgence itself. I hope that’s original. It’s gotta be me or Oscar Wilde surely? Call me curmudgeonly but I really can’t stand how the term cookies is overtaking Australia. BTW did you notice that Sanitarium owns the copyright to the term granola in Australia, and they are sending letters threatening legal actions to chefs offering granola in the restaurants and cafes. Can’t say that’s particularly friendly of them.
I heard that about granola. It makes me cranky, and also makes me roll me eyes. Get a grip, Sanitarium! Unless you’re Shakespeare, you can’t get away with claiming you invented words.
I’m intrigued by your thoughts about biscuits/cookies, because all my life I’ve grown up with certain things being called cookies. I was never served “chocolate chip biscuits”, for example? But considering how passionately furious everyone in my family get about people in Australia pronouncing words in the American, not Australia, way, I understand your anger
Nice reflections on indulgence -it is too late for me think more than chocolate, dessert and dining out – though if I went with your definition of necessity then chocolate would maybe be less of an indulgence and more a regular fix!
Maybe we can play with the words a bit and call chocolate our regular indulgence
Love that dress and loving your blog. My biggest indulgence – curling up on the bed and reading blogs while the baby has a nap. Housework can wait.
Thank you Jo! Your indulgence sounds perfect. And absolutely – housework is not what makes life worth living
My biggest indulgence is one that I’m not very good at, and one I should do MORE often – letting myself feel vulnerable. Allowing myself to let go of all my control freak tendencies. Let other people look after ME. I find that scary, but also hugely freeing! It makes me feel incredibly self-indulgent (but it shouldn’t!), and sometimes that’s exactly what I need.
(then there’s the indulgence that is watching 8 hours of Gilmore Girls in a row, while alternating mouthfuls of nachos and ice cream. But can it really be called an ‘indulgence’ if it happens every night? Hm. No. Probably not.)
I love this, because I feel exactly the same way. You wrote it perfectly. xoxo
(And, of course, I mean this about the Gilmore Girls too, although it’s less nachos and ice cream than peanut butter and chocolate for me. And my housemate has not yet shown enough stamina for eight straight hours.)
anddddd I FB follow you.
and twitter too. because i’m a scary stalker and you cannot be rid of me. IN ANY MEDIUM EVER.
THAT IS MY GOAL IN LIFE TO HAVE YOU WITH ME IN EVERY WAY.
You sexy dynamite, you.
I think one of my biggest indulgences are ones I have often, which tends to be ice-cream. Chocolate ice-cream. Or maybe salted caramel, specifically from Helados Juaja in Melbourne. Mmmmmmmmmm. c:
My biggest indulgence is fat. Fat in milk, fat in yoghurt, fat in crispy chicken and duck, fat in pork belly, you name it. Hmmm, I’m not sure if that makes me more or less of a candidate for skinny ice cream… :p
You left out the most important ones! Fat in chocolate and fat in nuts
OMG OMG OMG I’m so happy a $150 Westfield gift card! If i win you will be my favourite person for the rest of the year
And you’re already pretty high up there on my list being my favourite person lol this will just bump you up real quick hahaha
I’m totally with you with the way you eat and travel and the attitude you have
I’m just like that when I go and travel lol I eat, drink, do whatever i feel like and never EVER feel guilty about it lol
That’s a really though question to answer I think…my biggest indulgences because I have too many and probably indulge way too much e.g. daily but one of them would be a HUGE tub and i mean a HUGE tub of ice-cream in front of the TV watching Desperate Housewives hehe
Teehee! Alas, your sweet talk won’t help too much as I don’t get to pick the winner, but my you’ve made me smile!
Eating chocolate and drinking coffee while watching a favourite show is one of my favourite things to do too
My biggest over indulgence is my love of Milo. I can easily put 4 spoonsful in a cup of water – I just love it!
In water? I just eat it straight
lol – I actully meant milk not water !!
Teehee, that makes more sense!
Spooning sweetened condensed milk directly out of the tin.
My biggest indulgence is ice cream by far, in particular rocky road ice cream, I love to get stuck into it while watching a movie
My biggest indulgence – taking a year off when my daughter was 2 and just having fun with her. The mortgage went backwards, bills were hard to pay, we had no holiday for 3 years, but it was worth every precious moment of finger painting, princess dress ups and squished cookie making.
Absolutely, absolutely. Moments are worth more than money. Lovely response!
Biggest indulgence is racking up the bill at Swarovski’s Boxing Day sale. A girl can never have too much bling!

Chocolate’s my biggest indulgence; it can drown out those maddening, deafening screams
It can turn your worst nightmares into the sweetest of sweet dreams
If there’s a darkened tunnel,it’s the bright light at the end
It comforts and cheers you up more than a best friend!
It stops childish tantrums, and bad aids can’t compare
To fix any ache or pain, you just need chocolate to be there.
It’s reunited lovers, it gives low days a lift
It’s the only hope you’ve got if you need an “I’m sorry” gift
Its your companion as you cry through The Notebook yet again
It’s knows just how to please you (unlike many men!)
Teehee, wonderful!
comments on both FB pages.
Cherry liqueur chocolates are my indulgence. So naughty but ever so nice.
My biggest indulgence is taking 1/2 hr out of my busy day with kids and homelife and reading a good book, drinking a good cup of coffee and putting my feet up. Its the little quiet moments, the uncomplicated, the simplest of thing that remind me that these little ‘me’ moments are just as important as the housework and the kids!

I am on a gluten, dairy, low sugar and yeast free diet so I’m always left out when it comes to work morning teas, conference goodies and even when visiting friends and family who don’t cater to my needs. My biggest indulgence is making blueberry muffins, sitting down with a hot coffee and slowly partaking in this delicious treat!
My biggest indulgence is quite simple – quiet alone time. not being mum, or wife or sister, or daughter, or friend – just ebing me.

My indulgence is Lime marmalade- funny, because I don’t like orange marmalade!
I have a triple threat of over-indulgements; Woolworths Rocky Road Dessert, My Dog Sammy & Mum, and Weekend Movie Marathons. Give me these three any day and I’ll over-indulge in the love and laughter till the Skinny Cow comes home!
My secret indulgence is cookie dough – there’s nothing better on a rainy day than lying on the couch with a warm blanket, a packet of cookie dough and a cup of tea, watching reapeats of English comedy shows on TV!
My indulgence is wine and cheese – not that I’m cultured, just lazy, can’t be assed preparing real food and need a glass of wine.
my biggest indulgence is after a hard days work, having two or three bourbons AND mixing them with full strength coke not that horrible diet stuff. Its worth eating salad or rice for lunch to let my hair down at night and relax.
My biggest indulgence is a jar of Nutella and a spoon…mmmm
At the moment hubby is on holidays so my biggest indulgence is showering and going to the loo alone

My biggest indulgence. Is taking a hot cup of tea out into the cow paddock the overlooks the creek, road and farm. From there I sit in the sun where I can’t see the house, can’t hear the phones and can’t see my driveway. While I am there I watch the world go by, talk to my husband with no interruptions and enjoy watching my dog and child play outside in the paddock. I also make sure that I take no watch so I have no idea of how long I am out there or when I need to be back.
A stack of travel magazines and a quiet day to get lost in the beautiful photos and enticing stories of adventure!

My biggest indulgence is having very long hair. It uses more product, takes ages to detangle, requires special consideration in numerous situations like a small child of which one needs to be extra mindful (anywhere near machinery with moving parts – eek!, getting caught in other people’s jacket buttons in a squishy public transport situation). However, I indulge because I feel more ME with it.

My biggest indulgence is 2 marshmallows in my coffee everyday! I used to do 10 but my nutritionist told me that was a bit excessive (shame cos I loved the gooey yummy mess it made on the top!) 2 still gives me a little sugar hit without too much guilt. I know you’re probably reading this thinking – in coffee??? Yes in coffee – I don’t take sugar but I just plop 2 on the top after adding the milk and they slowly melt – YUMMY!
