E.g. Watching the Twilight movies is her guilty pleasure. She knows her friends will laugh at her for watching such dumb movies, but she just can't resist them.

My guilty pleasure is listening to K-pop. The songs are so repetitive and unoriginal, but I secretly love them!

What are your guilty pleasures?

My guilty pleasure is watching TVBS news. I know it's not good for me but I don't need to think when watching it.
