15 Signs You're A Shopaholic
Google

shop·a·hol·ic

ˌSHäpəˈhôlik,ˌSHäpəˈhälik/

noun informal

  1. a compulsive shopper.

Some people occasionally surrender to the occasional impulse buy - that trendy watch or pair of sunglasses gleaming through the display case. Sometimes, that occasional impulse buy becomes more of compulsive. And, before you know it, you're grappling with a serious condition; you're on a downward spiral and shipping and handling and swiping your life away. You're a shopaholic.

1. Your clothes can't fit in just one closet.

2. Often, packages arrive for you that you don't even remember ordering.

3. Homework always somehow turns into hours of online shopping.


4. Saving money is nearly impossible.

5. You have your credit card and debit card number memorized.

6. Black Friday is the best holiday EVER created.

7. Your email is overflowed with weekly newsletters and updates from stores. Must. Not. Click.

8. You can't ever just buy one thing. Two (or eight) of everything is just better.

9. Nothing haunts you like that one shirt you didn't buy.

10. You can't ever wear the same outfit twice.

11. Whenever you order a package, you obsessively get text updates to track it.

12. Every time you look in your closet you find a shirt you forgot you bought and it still has the tags on it.

13. The sound of a card swiping is melodic to your ears - retail therapy is the BEST therapy.

14. Your career goals are centered around your desire to afford your shopaholic lifestyle.

15) You can't ever pass up "Free shipping" and "BOGO."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
