Sometimes shopping isn't so fucking fun.
shaming
body image
Fat-shaming has been a popular topic on this site, and I’ve avoided the topic like an out of state parking ticket, but I have something to say, now.

And it actually wasn't that hard. I KNOW. I AM THE WORST.

first date
I've picked the guy and set the date. Now if I could only pick an outfit...
big boobs
A couple of fine shopkeepers are offering a nice half-way point between the giant baggy shirt and the too-tight baby tee with a monkey wearing a backpack on it.
shopping
Most people have Versailles, le Louvre and le Eiffel Tower on their must-visit-while-in-Paris list. Me? I hot foot it over to City-Pharma.
body acceptance
You know those women who can open their closets, pull out a few things and voila! they look amazing and effortless? I am not one of those women.
men's clothing
As if I'd let gender "rules" govern how I dress myself.
finances
I was raised with a poverty mentality. When it came to buying, I was that little girl again -- afraid that she wasn’t going to have enough
beauty boutiques
Some people are devotees to one store, but others (like me), are harlots of the beauty-buying world.
self-esteem
Something about dragging my feet around malls for hours while other people look at clothes makes me want to try to swallow a metal hanger. I can't be the only one who feels like this!
big boobs
Think of minimizing bras as Spanx for your breasts; your girls will still be there, just packaged better.
british stuff
Something chemical happens. It’s like a Jekyll and Hyde transformation. I turn into Sephora’s bitch.

Dealing with a sick pet: the worst or the very very WORST?

3. Don’t start body-hating when stuff doesn’t fit right. Every body is unique, and a mass-produced piece of fabric labeled with an arbitrary size doesn’t mean anything about your body.

It wasn’t until I started the embargo that I realized just how often I bought something on impulse.
am i doing this right?
Don’t pay any attention to the panic-stricken woman in the boutique dressing room. I just forget what it’s like to deal with helpful salespeople.

When engraved rings aren't enough for the magnitude for the emotions you have for your boyfriend or whatever.

Becca's got DDs and mark my words, she'll be gallivanting about in a maxi dress this summer.

All the moms you know will think you are so thoughtful (and good-looking) when they open these indie gifts.

My husband even proposed with a Tatty Devine cameo ring -- the astuteness of his choice (pink! plastic!) made it clear that I should frogmarch this chap down the aisle sharpish.
ebay
I spread the legs of the pair of pants to make sure there weren’t holes and was greeted with a bright red blotch. I was touching unwashed period blood pants that this client expected us to sell to other people for profit.
