Today’s article is going to sound like one big stereotype. I am a girl who loves to shop. The only “saving grace” is that I don’t shop three times a week… anymore, and I have never been one to spend my whole paycheck during one outing. See, I used to work in a mall, and even now, I work near a mall. It’s very convenient to go browsing before every shift, or on your lunch break. The best way to shop this way is to try things on, leave the store and think about it. When you are at the mall as frequently as I am, there is less of a sense of urgency. There’s not that feeling of “oh my god, I need this right now! I’ll not be back for another month, so it’s either now or never! Not enough money? I’ll give you my first born, how about that!?”
Shopping on a lazy Sunday is the best. I always try to get there just after the mall opens so there are less people cluttering up the isles, and I always make sure to grab a coffee. That is perfection. Rarely do I shop with other people, so this is a form of spa treatment for me. It’s “me time” where I can walk at my own pace, listen to music, and making an effort to feel good about my form instead of hating myself for trying on some clothing that doesn’t fit. That last point is the key to shopping successfully. The less you beat yourself up, the more rejuvenated you’ll feel once your trip is over.
On top of killing a few hours at the mall, I always find there’s an extra hour killed for travel time. It’s a great lazy Sunday activity because it will waste your whole morning, and you’ll even get some exercise from all that walking! Too lazy too even get up? Go shopping online! Forever 21 is my personal favourite because they have so many sales, but there is a whole world of shopping waiting to be discovered from your very living room! Go explore the jungles of product paradise!
