Shopaholic. I used to think that that I'm not one of those who walk around in malls, buying anything in sight. But no, as shocking as i think it is, I am a shopaholic. It's true that i don't buy everything and anything, i don't buy dresses and shoes like what you see in Sophie Kinsella's shopaholic series cuz the price does matter. It's funny how i can control myself at the sight of huge sum of money but i'm utterly hopeless when it comes to cheaper stuff. Those stuff that you think won't affect your budget but what you don't realize is little by little it also ends up being a lot. Yup, i'm that.
I was in Tesco few days ago and I didn't notice myself dumping unnecessary stuff in my cart, when i'm home then i realize what I've done. I reaally need to do something about it.
Don't fret dear shopaholics! I think why we do this is because it's really a therapy when you shop. I don't really know how to explain this but yes, it felt really good to shop at times. Like window shopping, it's also really nice, tho the shopkeepers really can't stand you. How do i put this? Hmm... i think when i shop, i'm contributing to myself in a sense. For example, buying skin care products, i can go from buying face mask, facial cleanser, whitening creams....etc. I feel satisfied that I'm taking effort in caring for my own looks, it's vain i know but it's the simplest example i can give. So is buying uh... new linens, bedsheets, air refresheners, it makes you think you're giving your room a makeover?
So, I'm not saying being a shopaholic is good. God! think of the credit card bills and empty purse! but it's okay as long as you don't overdo. I'm trying to do that by avoiding malls as a precaution ;)
