Retail Therapy

After months of 'holing-up' at home (during advance pregnancy and the birth), I needed a break badly. So, I embarked on a day off doing retail therapy while Lucas is in school and Dominic stayed at home with Chloe.
I had my hair cut and then started on my shopping spree. I went to a make-up counter and told the sales lady that I needed something to make my eyes look fresher. Business was slow for her and she gladly gave me a make-over. I walked away with a bag of goods. When I get home Lucas asked, 'Mommy, are you wearing make-up?'.
Then I proceed to shop for clothes. My wardrobe needed an overhaul badly. I was looking at the old photos, the trips we made before we got married till now. Guess what?? I'm still wearing those clothes!! As I'm taking a trip end November, I told myself that I do not want to be pictured wearing the same clothes as 7-9 years ago. At the end, I walked home with 2 tops and 1 pant. I wish I was doing better.

Retail therapy is only a temporary relief from taking care of the kids. When I'm back from shopping, it is actually very pleasant to see the kids. Retail therapy rocks when you are not too worry about the price tag.
