7 Things You've Said If You're Addicted To Online Shopping
The Telegraph

Online shopping to some is just looking on the internet for things you cannot find in stores. For many others, online shopping is a way of life. Online shoppers are the most resourceful people on the planet. From ordering food to furniture or clothes to cups, online shoppers know how to shop without even leaving their living rooms. Some may see online shopping as an addiction, however, online shoppers, including myself, see this as the future. Like every obsessive group, we have our special lingo. So, here are seven sayings that represent the life of an online shopper.

1. "I'll order it online."

This is your slogan for life. You could be out in public and see something you love but that will not stop you from finding it and ordering online. It is something about the chase from website to website looking for the perfect thing while sitting in bed that gives you a rush!

2. "Is my package here yet?"

Although the website gave you an expected date and time that your package will arrive, nothing will stop you from checking the tracking code and the mailbox every day frantically looking for that unicorn coffee mug that was an impulse buy.

3. "Do I really need this...?"

You make a valiant effort to talk yourself out of buying certain things. Although you may like it, sometimes you have a rational discussion with yourself about your spending. No, you do not need the same shirt in 4 different colors but you will probably convince yourself that you need them anyway... oh well.

4. "I think I have a coupon code for that in my email."

You are constantly checking your email for the new deals. You take extreme couponing and sales to a new level. You scour the internet for coupon codes and websites that offer 20 percent off with an email sign up.

5. "Hopefully, this will fit."

Ordering clothes can be tricky at times. You look at the size chart trying to find a size but then you remember that you do not know how to read a size chart. But that's okay! You just make your best guess and let out a sigh, praying that it will fit.

6. "When did I buy this?"

Sometimes, we order so many things in one sitting that we forget what we buy and then we get a package in the mail that gives us a shock. So, when this happens, do not be alarmed. It was just a surprise present from you to yourself.

7. "I wonder if I can but that online"

The answer is yes... yes you can.


So, to my online shoppers, keep doing what you're doing because that pumpkin costume isn't going to buy itself! Happy shopping!

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.

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.

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.
