How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Retail Therapy

in Everyday on 02/01/16

When life gets you down and the scales have you beat.
If you’re tired, and worried, and running around feeling like the world is against you.
There is one thing you can do. One magical thing that for at least a few shining hours can lift your spirits and put a smile on your face. It can distract you from the ho hum and the crap on your plate.
You can go shopping.Fenderbend_158623_v1_large

I swear to you, sometimes there is nothing better then a little retail therapy.

 

Bless you Hudson’s Bay, American Eagle and Roots Canada for your 70% off sale.  Big thanks for grocery shopping, done ON LINE!
Thank you Old Navy I do appreciate your 30% off coupon.
Nine West, I can’t believe I found some of your little beauties on sale and you will never know how thankful I am that there is one thing I can count on.  No matter what that ugly scale might say,  shoes always fit. (and so do gorgeous black boots!)

I hope on this dreary Monday morning, you all find a little something that makes you smile.  Even if it’s only a wee bit of retail therapy.

      Not a huge in store shopper, (except small, local stores) but I do admit I’m a fan of online shopping.

    Throw back and a little travel inspo….

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom 

I promise - once you try #HomeExchange you will never look at travel the same way again! Follow the link in my bio for all the deets. ❤️

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
