Truthful Tuesday: The one with more boots

You know how I said I was all done buying boots for awhile? I lied a little. Just a little. And it's somewhat justified. My trusty Regals which I wear most days because SO COMFY are just about ready to give up the good fight. The heel protectors are about to fall off both boots, the soles are paper thin, and also this is how they were when I got off Rio the other day:

Not ideal. They also don't stay up really anymore because they've stretched out so much. But I've had this pair over a year (which is pretty good for Regals), so they don't really owe me anything.
I've been debating replacing them since I have ten million pairs of boots. I don't really NEED a new pair. Plus I actually keep a brand new pair in the trailer at all times in case of a zipper emergency at horse shows. So technically, I HAVE a new pair. On the other hand, they make my feet so happy. None of the other boots are completely broken in since once they tear my ankles apart, I need a day or two off from breaking in boots. And then I turn to my trusty Regals. So I was leaning toward replacing them because happy feet = happy Stacie. And then Riding Warehouse had a Labor Day sale.
Today's confession: I bought new Regals. And maybe I also got the AA Motionlite in Navy. Because you know, it was on sale. Shut up, next year I'm showing! A LOT! (hopefully.)

Truthful Tuesday: The one where the 900 Facebook Pony has too much influence over my shopping problem.

On this cold rainy day, I thought I might confess to falling victim to Amanda's (the900FacebookPony) powers over my shopping problem. We're focusing solely on my grooming boxes today because I have had some semblance of self control so far with regards to anything more expensive. Let's take a look at one of my grooming boxes, shall we?

Prior to finding Amanda's blog, my boxes had a few brushes (none expensive), maybe a few too many curry combs, some hoofpicks, mane comb, and tail brush. Mainly these things:

But thanks to Amanda, I've added the not at all cheap Prinze brush (and also the Diva brush pictured here but that one's not her fault).

And this crazy little shedding contraption, which by the way, my angry Thoroughbred LOVES. Go figure.

None of her suggestions have ever disappointed. And none of these things are crazy expensive except for the fact that each of my horses has his own set of brushes. So I have to buy four of everything! Then it gets pricey...
Have you been influenced by any bloggers to buy something new? Were you satisfied with the purchase? What did you get?? And lastly, is there anything awesome you're currently using that I should know about? Clearly I can't control myself so what should I buy next?
