Okay, so we’ve been holding out on you all. Just a little. We are so so excited to be launching a campaign today that we’re calling #UnguiltyPleasures.
We’ve been talking about this idea forever, ever since the idea of “mom guilt” entered our vocabularies, which we think was uh, prepartum. We’re tired of the guilt thing that women and moms face daily in their lives, and how for some reason, we’re not really supposed to enjoy so many of the little things that give us joy in our lives.
So we decided, we’re not calling them Guilty Pleasures any more. From now on, they’re Unguilty Pleasures.
And we can’t think of a more appropriate sponsor for our launch episodes than Kindle Love Stories, a thriving online community for lovers of all things romance, without the guilt. You know where you can get recos for e-books with titles like Seduced by Sunday and Dark Instincts?
We say, if romance novels are your thing? Awesome. Own it! Flaunt it! Hey, flaunt them in front of us — some of those covers are hot. Plus, you get to escape into a world of romance where no one has to do the dishes or step on LEGOs on the way to the bedroom.
As for us, the first unguilty pleasure of our own that we want to share is binge watching. You know what we’re talking about — you with the bags under your eyes because you couldn’t stop streaming Game of Thrones or Walking Dead until it was 3 AM and you realized you were close to propping up your eyelids with toothpicks.
Check out the video and let us know if you’re with us!
Oh, and let us know what you think of our sexy hats.
We’d love it if you’d come clean right along with us. Share your own unguilty pleasures using the hashtag #UnguiltyPleasures on Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram — we are where you are. We’ll be resharing our favorites with our fans and followers with the hopes that we can all start reclaiming those little joys in our lives.
Also, be sure to visit the Kindle Love Stories community, where you’ll find the original binge-readers. Just wait until you realized you’ve read an entire e-book in a single night — and you’ve got six more to go in the series. Fun stuff, mamas.
Visit our sponsor Kindle Love Stories for a 30-day free trial of Kindle Unlimited, as well as hand selected romance reads to binge on, including No Ordinary Billionaire by J.S. Scott.

My favorite #UnguiltyPleasures television show is Sherlock (the BBC version). Very unoriginal, I know, but I have a fear of being sucked into the vortex of binge watching shows with more than 3 episodes per season. I’m glad you’re re-labeling all these little pleasures! There’s so much unnecessary guilt out there, especially for moms!
I love that the new Netflix series Bloodline came out with all the episodes at once. I spent a full day and part of the next binge watching the entire series. It was well worth it. Now I can’t wait for the next season!
Orphan Black! I didn’t think I would get so addicted, but I binge-watched the first two seasons while on mat leave and did’t feel guilty at all…hey, if you’re going to have to be up in the middle of the night you should have something to look forward to!
Oh Shannon! That is next on my list. Or…next three series on my list. I hear it’s great and thanks for the reco.
Just binge-watched Bloodline and loved it! Kyle Chandler is one of my favorites. Total unguilty pleasure!
I love this idea! Bravo is home to my favorite #UnguiltyPleasures. Bring on Million Dollar Listing NY, Vanderpump Rules, & Real Housewives of NY!
My #unguiltypleasure is Orphan Black. Finally up-to-date and the new season started 2 weeks ago. The lead actress Tatiana Maslany is so incredibly talented!
I just binged watched Netflix’s Original Series Daredevil. Love it! Can’t wait for the next season already!
My #unguiltypleasure is Netflix’s Original Series Daredevil. Love it! Yes, I watched a comic book based character TV series… And I’ll do it again! Can’t wait until the next season!
I’m binging in United States of Tara right now. Nashville was an amazing binge but the new season is not on Hulu -sob.
I’m a huge Nathan Fillion fan so my #UnguiltyPleasures was binge watching Serenity! My husband also turned me on to The Blacklist so I binged watched that as well.
My #unguiltypleasure tv shows are Pretty Little Liars and The Fosters. Teen drama… watching it on television is the only way I can tolerate it. 😉
My #unguiltypleasure is binge watching Gilmore Girls. I know it’s old and I’ve watched the entire series about 10 times, but it’s my go to show. PS you’re hats are not only sexy, but SUPER DUPER AWESOME. I have to have one! 😉
Love the UN — such a great idea! After years of being too busy with the kids to watch much TV, I just discovered the joys of binge watching last month! I would highly recommend the UK series “Doc Martin” on Netflix. Amazing performances, so cleverly written, hilarious, and most of all, gentle. No murder, rape, dystopia, nor profanity. Just quirky imperfect humans doing the best they can.
Whenever Netflix releases a new series – Orange is the New Black, and now Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – it’s bingewatching time! I’m also catching up on Louie. Season 4 is killing me.
love teen mom!
Gah! Keeping Up With the Kardashians…such trash.
I binge watched all of Game of Thrones in about a week and then I went through feelings of loss when I ran out of episodes…definitely not guilt!
My #unguiltypleasure binge is Parks and Recreation. Usually can’t view it too late into the night though because I’m usually laughing out loud and have been known to wake up my light sleeping husband.
House Of Lies … So naughty, crass, gritty but yet unguilty for me!
My husband dragged me into binge watching Game of Thrones but my #unguiltypleasure is binge watching old shows like Rosemary and Thyme, Merlin or Sherlock.
Just put Parenthood to rest after watching all 6 seasons…looking for my next thing! I don’t have cable, so it has to be Netflix or Hulu+ or Amazon Prime. Maybe New Girl.
Breaking Bad and Parks and Recreation!
my #unguiltypleasure of binge watching Copper, Luther and House of Cards is ridiculous! I love your hats by the way! I have 2 Bronies in my house
pretty little liars. mysterious teen soap? YES.
Game of Thrones–as soon as my library has the season. As for a non-tv unguilty pleasure, buying a quality chocolate bar and hiding it so I don’t have to share it with my daughter. It is mine!
My #unguiltypleasure is binge watching Real Housewives of NYC- I don’t know why, but I can’t turn it off!
My husband and I binge watched Treme (from HBO) right after moving from Louisiana to Washington. It made me so homesick, but in a good way, that I couldn’t wait for the kids to go to bed at night so I could watch as many episodes as possible before crawling off to bed.
I have too many #unguiltypleasures to list! If I has to pick one it would have to House of Cards but I’m usually into all the cheesy reality shows!
I binge watch Charmed! Ive seen them all a million times but still turn them on netflix every chance I get. #unguiltypleasure
