Confessions Of A Target Shopaholic

Because when I shop at Target the world gets a little better.

Confessions Of A Target Shopaholic

All Targets are created equal. It doesn't matter if its a Super Target or a basic Target, they all create the same warm fuzzies on the inside. I'm not going to lie, there's an extra bonus, if the said Target has a Starbucks inside. There is nothing better than walking around the dollar spot with your venti iced caramel macchiato in hand. I'm not really sure when my Target obsession started, but when I walk past those big red balls and grab a cart, all of my sadness, anxiety, and stress melt away. I am not really a shopper, I hate walking around big malls, my legs get tired and I get bored way too easily. However when those beautiful Target doors open I become a shopper because Target has everything and I mean everything that I could possibly need.

I go to Target at least once a week and each time, I find something that I need. I may go in with the intention of buying shampoo and conditioner, but I guarantee I will walk out with a new bottle of nail polish, new swim suit, and at least five items from the dollar spot. My entire wardrobe is now compiled of rompers, sundresses, and fancy shorts from Target, because why go anywhere else?

If you need to get a gift Target is the perfect place to go! You can put together an entire gift bag worth of amazing stuff right in the dollar spot. Then as you progress through the store you can get a funny coffee mug, an adult coloring book, or even a really cool wine tumbler. I promise you that if Target is done right, it will look like the most put together gift you've ever given and people might actually think you have your stuff together.

The beautiful thing about Super Targets is that you can go and tell everyone that you are going to be grocery shopping, when really you are just casually walking around your happy place. However, of course, you are going to pick up some Market Pantry cheese squares and some Archer Farms mixes along the way so that you can prove you were actually grocery shopping.

Now let's talk about their home goods section. Every single time I step into this section I contemplate redoing my apartment or my bedroom. This is the most dangerous section of the store because in about 10 minutes I'm contemplating buying seashell pillows, a new blue comforter, and a gold pineapple candle, and thinking about transforming my room into something new.

However, my favorite section is definitely the office supply section. I get immense satisfaction from picking out a new Sky Blue planner and gel pens so that I can better schedule my trips to Target. I get overjoyed when the school supplies go out, and go crazy over picking matching notebooks, folders, and pencils for my next semester.

I must confess that I am true Target shopaholic, and I don't foresee it ending anytime soon. So this is for all you people out there who are addicted to Target and are willing and ready to accept it. Go to Target now and shop that dollar spot, pretend to go grocery shopping, or pick out a new swimsuit, feed that Target addiction and have zero shame about it!

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.
