Hey kitties,
A few days ago Gabee shared with you all some insightful tips for when shopping.
I have one more, and it's going to sound silly and maybe cheesy, but I find that my life revolves around this tip and I make a point of making sure my mom considers this tip before buying something, anything.
Scenario 1:
You go to BCBG. Get out. Ross has in stock some BCBG pumps. They're goooooorgeous.
Anyway, for the real tip:
Real scenario:
You find yourself at one of your favorite stores. You are currently holding an intricately cotton shirt or shorts or something nice and warm for this hectic weather. You ask yourself, "Do I need this?" Well, if you ask Buddha: No, no, you don't.
So you ask yourself: Do I really WANT it? If I put it back and walk away, will I go home and think about this intricate pattern and delicately woven garment the next day? Life will go on, surely.
Anyway: I simply tell myself: You're not getting it. Put it back. And in that instant moment, if I ache for the inanimate object I grab it and buy it. I'm being quite sincere here Don't laugh.
Gabee's tips are much more practical, but I honestly do this. And I've made it a point of occasionally making Gabee ask herself this. I think I've done it once to her. But it's mostly my mom. And she's learned well.
Bye for now!
Sincerely,
Nemo.
Just kidding. This is Noemi G. and just G. because I'm a G.
