We all have those moments in life where we're not really sure who we are, what we should be doing, what we are good at. However, I have always been able to say with certainty that I do have at least one particular talent. It's not a talent that will bring world peace nor a solution to the problems of climate change. It's never going to cure disease or help me work out the answers to the big questions in life (Why are there so many calories in chocolate? Why am I so hopelessly addicted to Neighbours? Why isn't life in your 20s more like Friends? etc.) However, it puts a smile on my face, and fills my house with stuff. It even has some (semi)altruistic uses (hey, I'm doing my bit for consumer confidence in a time when the credit crunch is threatening the livelihoods of our retailers!)
It's Shopping.
So, my intention for this blog is to try and do something with this talent/affliction - one that I'm sure it's obvious that thousands of women around the world share. If you've found yourself missing an entire conversation because you've been zoned out, daydreaming about the perfect pair of wedges that you spotted in Selfridges and how they would completely transform your wardrobe; if you juggle your finances every month to make damn sure that there's going to be some 'you' money; if you are so proud of yourself after a successful shopping trip - full of satisfaction as you bundle home your bags and packages, then hopefully you'll get something out of this.
