I love shopping. I can't help myself. And now I have validation. According to Real Simple, when you anticipate buying something tantalizing releases dopamine, the same chemical that washes through your brain when you have sex or eat chocolate. Plus there is the whole search and conquer aspect to shopping. Who has the best strappy gold sandals, and where can I find the best price on said sandals. A psuedo-mental challenge.
I've decided to help the environment and remove part of my temptation by getting less catalogs. We get 3-4 catalogs a DAY. There is a site, www.catalogchoice.org where you gan go and unsubscribe through all your catalogs. I haven't eliminated Anthropologie or J. Crew yet. I can't quite let it go. Not like I don't know they have stores where I can go and shop.
