My Name Is Emily And I'm A Target-A-Holic

It's my go-to.

Ever since I could drive, Target has been my go-to place for everything under the sun - makeup, shoes, a dress...you name it.

Now that I go to college in a small town, where all my shopping is limited to Walmart, the addiction has diminished. However, when I go home for the summer, my first stop is still always Target - here's why:

1. Their items are constantly changing.

While this is a good and bad thing, I love how I can walk into the store on any given day and find something new and exciting that catches my eye.

2. Their varieties of products.

It is pretty safe to say that everyone can find something that fits their taste within Target, which is super nice and convenient. You can also grab most everything on your list with one shop instead of having to go to multiple stores.

3. A clean environment.

Obviously, this can change based on your location, but in my experience, I simply find Target stores to be much cleaner than Walmart. Target employees are frequently seen straightening shelves and the floors are always clean and tidy.

4. Cartwheel.

I love how I can scan an item on my phone, and through the Cartwheel app, it will tell me if there are any coupons offered and related products that may be on sale. It makes it very easy to save a few bucks and is easy enough to navigate.

5. Accessories.

Hands down, Target has the best accessories. I mean their purses and wallets are beautiful and sturdy (and sometimes even resemble brands like Kate Spade or Marc Jacobs), they have a good selection of jewelry and sunglasses - again, everyone can find something that fits their style and preferences.


Overall, as I've grown into a young adult, Target has become a part of my everyday life. Whether I'm actively looking for something or just needing to walk around, it's my go-to.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
