6 months clean and I’ve traded my habit for a shopping addiction
So I used my drug of choice for over ten years. Used many substances for years before that as well. I’ve finally beat down the demon of drug addiction only to trade it for another sinister habit - shopping for beauty products online and at stores like tjmaxx/marshalls.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? I feel like I’m driving myself crazy. I’ll tell myself it’s ok because I’m not using drugs, and I’m not racking up crazy debt or anything, but I’m not well off and I don’t need to be bleeding money like this. Not to mention the amount of TIME I waste looking at products and researching them before I make a purchase. It feels insane.

My little Sunday haul with GWP
Been looking at that tartan and twine bag and it looks so cute, though small. If I really don’t like it I guess I’ll return it or save it for a gift. It’s not available at any stores near me so I didn’t get the chance to see it in person.
Otherwise, excited to try the new Ole and the highlighting pearls. And I’m a sucker for a little skincare set. Also can’t wait for the hair GWP and to see what the 25 packettes are and the mystery gift! I know maybe there’s the tiniest chance of a beauty break today? But I didn’t want to risk missing out on the hair gift.
