Shop shop shop till you drop… No really

So you are having a bad day, nothing is going your way, your hair is not doing as you say, you think you look hideous in everything that you wear and so after trying on almost every outfit you have you just slip on your black fat day pants and black shirt and heels and tie your hair up, oh crap you’re late, no time for make up, maybe you will get lucky and be able to do a quick fix in the bathroom before any meetings.  As you park the car your Blackberry beeps and your boss is BBMing you already about your next task. Great the day has officially begun, and could it get any worse? Well the answer is yes, days like these usually only get worse and then we feel so upset at the end of the day that we usually cancel that date with the girls for drinks and just go home and end up having a fight with the boyfriend because he thinks you’re in a bad mood and askes if it is that time of the month. On days like these we need to stay calm and breathe and definitely not cancel the drinks with the girls. Better yet go shopping and buy yourself those shoes that you have had your eye on for the past couple of weeks.

Studies have shown that shopping really does make women happy, it releases endorphins and shopping can make your life span longer. Well I won’t agree with that.

 I know that I have felt it, when I am having a really bad day and I go to the mall to unwind, I leave with a big smile on my face. Especially when I get something that looks fabulous on me. One of my mottos in life is that when you’re down buy shoes, because clothes don’t always fit, food just makes you fat but shoes are forever, a girl’s best friend.  Remember the feeling you get when you try on an outfit and you turn around and see yourself in the mirror and it takes your breath away, wow I look good, and at that moment every bad thing that happened during the day disappeared and you were happy again, now just a quick stop at the mall bathrooms to change into that amazing outfit and go for drinks with the girls.
