6 Stages Of Any Trip To The Mall For A Shopaholic
Madison Movie

Hello there Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Kate Spade. You are my weakness, you try to conquer my bank account. You're the reason why I am in love in with fashion. You see, when I was younger, it was Justice and Kohl's and now it has turned into this finer fashion complexion. I love you and I am a shopaholic because of you.

Stage 1: Walking into the store.

We have all been there. The gorgeous hand bags and the beautiful designs. There is nothing better than trying on the perfect outfit with gorgeous pumps and a perfectly-proportioned hand-bag.

Stage 2: The Bank Account Situation.

Is there anything better than finding the most gorgeous ball gown. There is... It is called "my bank account is way too important for me to spend it on frivolous clothing". Unless you're Taylor Swift then everything has changed.

Stage 3: It's payday, payday, gotta get down on payday!

Oh the most wonderful day of the month! The silhouettes, you have been eyeing or that cape coat you have on your wishlist that all the most fashionable TV characters wear. The gold is yours and you are on your way to victory.

Stage 4: When you get to play stylist for your friends, you are overflowing with excitement.

I love playing stylist. This is my thought process, okay, you need a darker color, you need a neutral dress, you need to step out of your comfort zone and give me the fashion permit.

Stage 5: The shopping therapy sessions.

"All I wanted were those cashmere gloves. I did not mean to unleash my inner cheetah on the poor souls. I am usually an angel".

Stage 6: The End of shopping spree means you can start planning your next shopping spree!

Maybe this time you will buy that flowery scarf you have been eyeing for quite some time now. Or that Michael Kors wallet or that Louis Vuitton purse!

Shop on shopaholic!

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.
