Imagine this: It won't stop raining, your hair is frizzed out to nowheresville. there's nothing to be done about the fact that your eyeliner smudged this morning because of the humidity, and your car hasn't worked in a week. everytime you feel like things have turned right again, something else goes wrong!
what do you do?
drink heavily? nah, that's too much bodily damage for a temporary problem. plus, then you might get stained as an alcoholic. go to sleep? where's the fun in that? cry? oh no, I am not messing up my makeup even MORE!
Shop.
There is nothing like the warm feeling of the florescent lights as you enter a store. The calming effect of the music is hard to ignore too. You browse through the aisles mindlessly and as you peruse the items, you mentally check in a reason that you could purchase any one of them. And finally, you find it.
The perfect selection. It's a mental high. You know exactly how you'll incorporate this new and exciting item into your lifestyle. You have plans for its lifetime with you - it's going to be perfect!
And then comes check out. It's especially poignant if you're using a card to make your purchases, it almost seems like nothing has even happened, you've just found something new for your life! Nothing can compare to the way you feel when you walk out of that store, clutching your purchases as if they were your only chance at happiness.
(and sometimes they are.)
I bought a new CHI straightening iron today. it was a little ridiculous.
