I've been off work for more than a month now because of complications of pregnancy. I have no complaints as long as me and my baby will be healthy. As I try to look back I only worked for a month or so from January to June, but I've been spending like there's no tomorrow. You see I love shopping. I really really do. I'm also an impulsive buyer too so I'm really really dangerous. I sometimes feel guilty for overspending. You see I still have a stash of credit debts I still have to settle (that's why I can totally relate with the Shopaholic series) but I still prefer buying stuff than paying debts because I know I can always see my purchases. I still have to work that thing out because I know I can't live like that especially with baby on the way. It's going to be more Baby time than me.
What am I buying? Well it's more of a cycle. I had a phase earlier this year buying shoes or other footwear, then I went to accessories and jewelries spree. There were a lot of sales from Kohl's and Zales that I just have to give in. I realize that in 5 years I haven't invested in gold jewelries so I bought some fine jewelries and of course some Tiffany and co. too. Recently my best friend asked me to buy her some Timex watches and I got addicted. In a month I bought 4 timex watches. I love them all and I believe it should be durable. Of course I wouldn't dare forget to shop for the little one. I know, I know I'll get more stuff when we have the baby shower but once your doctor tells you you're risk for preterm labor you won't just sit there and wait. I have to be prepared. There's no way my baby won't have clothes to wear or blankets to cover him up. Mostly were good deals reduced price and sales. But to tell you frankly I did spent a lot in the last 6 months if I try to tally my spending with my income. So I have to take control of my spending.
But what happens when you're bored, you read books and magazine, watch tv and youtube blogs and of course I had to watch makeup hauls. I spent less than $20 today for makeup and some drugstore products. Now I have an itch to shop more. I discovered a cheap drugstore brand that I loved just by using it today (they're like dupes of my expensive make ups) and it made me very happy. I have to control myself and stay away from CVS for now because I'm a Dangerously Bored Shopaholic about to lose control.
