Alert! We're all vulnerable to the "impulse buy" right now! Stay at home orders + pre Black Friday sales, oh my! It's so easy to equate retail therapy with or an antidote to boredom.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But the buzz doesn't last (swipe right to see the stats!) and leads to over spending and buying stuff we don't need.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you're shopping for presents, or a sale on something you've been waiting for, that's great! >> use the flow chart to test that thing you've had open in a tab for days. 🤔👍🏽👎🏾⁠⠀

“While people seek happiness and self worth by shopping, the survey results show that they are deeply ambivalent about their own behavior. Stating guilt and shame, people often feel bad about their own useless purchases and overspending habits. Many people realize that shopping does not lead to increased happiness in the long term. Around 50 percent report that their shopping excitement wears off within a day — the binge is followed by a hangover.”⁠⠀

🎵 Hair toss. Check my nails. Baby how ya doin'? 🎵⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You don't have to be Insta perfect or looking as polished as all those gorgeous gals in Lizzo's video to be. . ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Feelin' good as hell! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I got a hair cut last week from Logan . A simple thing, but it felt so good. I took these photos of my hair toss, just for fun.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Toss that perfection standard aside (from your internal voice, or the voice of others/social media). What's one self-care thing you can do for yourself to feel. . . ⁠⠀

🎵 You sing the words, girl! 🎵⁠⠀

Was so inspired to create a for my Friday gal pal night out! It’s so fun! Just raid your drawers and accessories boxes and layer up the stories. (This one I think needs some beads. Will have to raid mom’s stash 😍). Thanks and for the inspo!
