3 Reasons Why Shopping Is Important

Shopping is a girl’s favorite hobby. We love it because we take the opportunity to spoil ourselves and we also use it as a getaway from reality.

1.

Credit/Debit cards are a girl’s best friend.

We love to shop until we drop, literally. Shopping relieves our stress and we get to be updated in fashion. Not even just clothes, but we also like to buy makeup whether it’s a new eye shadow palette, new mascara, or even new lipstick. Shopping is in our nature and it’s fun to do with your girls on a rainy day, or even when you’re feeling down.

2. Online shopping is great too!

When it’s stormy weather out there, and you’re not in the mood to go deal with the heavy rain as you run to your car, you also have the option to do some online shopping. The best part about online shopping is that there is always some kind of sale going on and 9 out of 10 times, you can have the option of receiving free shipping, which is a great bonus!

3. Shopping is a major stress reliever to us girl’s.

When we’re upset or just feeling down, shopping gives us a way of looking past that feeling and making ourselves happy by buying what we want. Nothing tops that feeling of getting what you want at the store and being excited for a night out to wear what you bought! That same feeling continues with makeup because we, as girls, get excited to try on new lipsticks and eye shadows as well when we are getting ready to go out.

It’s safe to say that if shopping weren’t so quickly available, us girls would have to find a new hobby. Shopping may be important to us because it gives us a means of escaping whatever stress we carry with us, or it can even be for enjoyment to make ourselves happy. It’s the best form of putting ourselves first and the best way to cheer ourselves up!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
