10 Signs You're A Shopaholic

I've had a shopping problem since I was really young. I loved going anywhere if it meant that I got to push a cart or even carry a bunch of things around. It's weird, but I even got excited when it was time to go food shopping, and not just for the giant jar of Nutella.

In my years of swiping cards and browsing sale racks, it has been brought to my attention by literally everyone that I have a problem. A major shopping problem. Here's a list of ten things that can lead to your diagnosis of being a fellow shopaholic.


1. Instead of talking your problems out, you swipe your credit cards.

2. This is your reaction whenever there is a sale:

3. You buy things you don't even need to buy, simply for the sake of buying.

4. You walk into a store with one thing in mind and leave with about five bags.

5. You have bookmark after bookmark saved on your laptop from your favorite online stores.

6. Your closet is way too small. Like seriously too small.

7. You get a rush from buying something new, even if it's just a replacement buy for something you already have.

8. When shopping for other people, you end up shopping for yourself as well.

9. Shop 'til you drop is taken to the extreme.

10. Your face every time you look at your bank account statement:


Congratulations! If you have done some or all of these things, I'm proud to announce that you're a shopaholic! Now try not to flaunt it before your family and friends send you through an intervention.

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.
