Same here. When i'm on my own i can really take my time looking at what i want, what i might buy, etc. Nothing beats shopping by myself (unless it's with my mummy, she's an awesome shopper!!!) :D |
+1! sometimes Mum sees things I wouldn't normally notice but they are awesome when you try them on :D |

Not before the boat cruise or my next purse purchase, anyway. |

I am a shopoholic when it comes to produce.
I just am obsessed with picking the right piece of fruit.
I 've been known to travel across the province from market to market, fruit stand to fruit stand, farmers produce sale to farmers produce sale, just to find the right piece that i'm looking for at that particular moment.
Whether it's peaches, mellons, strawberries even apples, i will stop at nothing to get the exact piece of fruit that i am longing for at the right moment.
I perform these three tests.
1)The squeeze test...is the fruit the right level of tenderness, certain fruits you have to be careful with however, squeezing a grape too much will make it burst, which is no good to you or the grape.
2) The smell test...how does it smell? Do you detect sourness in the fruit? Do you want sourness in the fruit? Some fruits are difficult to smell, like melon, due to the hard outer shell. In cases such as this I then use my imagination to figure out what it smells like. If I imagine that the fruit smells like I want it to smell then it passes the test, however often times my imagination causes me to imagine fruit that does not smell like i want it to smell, in which case it recieves a failing grade.
3) The shake test...I shake the fruit. Is there anything inside the fruit moving around that could cause problems? Does it make noise, does it feel like the fruit could fall appart. These are all questions that I need to ask before i commit to a piece of fruit.
So shop on you shopoholics, but if its for fruit, dont forget to squeeze...
...just not too hard. |

^Now being a bit picky about buying food items I can understand. B/c if you don't buy right, your food will taste not quite the way you want it to. (Or worse, get sick)
Gooooo cooking! |

I am a Shop-a-Holic...
I will impulse buy like its nothing....
I buy all my body washes, creams, soaps, scrubs etc from Lush and Lush only ( anyone who knows what lush is feels my pain..the stuff is SO DAMN GOOD and DAMN expensive)
and finally a year ago i had incidently acquired a management position in one of my favourite stores to shop in..thus reciveing a management discount..and therefore i feel like its ok to drop half a paycheque on the items in my store that i wish to own...
thank god i live at home...
