Shopaholicism

I've been inspired to post here again! It's probably just that I have more free time on my hands now and that procrastination is always a big part of my life.

I recently read a book called Not Buying It, and I've been thinking a lot about our capitalist consumer culture here in the USA. I could go on about this for hours, but it turns out I actually hate writing down my thoughts. SO laborious...

I'll just say that 1.) I totally agree that consumerism is completely out of control, and that we must learn to value something more... valuable, and 2.) I had to unsubscribe myself from J Crew, Urban Outfitters, and Sephora, because I have a bonafide shopping problem. My post-graduate salary and school debt do not allow me to shop, yet I do so anyway. Desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose.
