Exactly What is a Shopaholic?


According to dictionary.com a shopaholic is defined as a person who shops compulsively or very frequently. Are you one of those girls who feels an urge to shop for no apparent reason, other then the fact you just love to shop? Well, I know I'm definitely one of those people.

Just the other day I went to the second day opening of the new H&M store at Coquitlam Centre. I wasn't extremely excited about going because of all the people and everything. But, when we got to the parking lot, an extremely overwhelming anxiousness came over me. I couldn't wait to be in the store so I started walking faster. I knew I had felt this feeling before, so I thought of what caused it. I came to the conclusion the feeling I experienced is a shopping high and damn does it ever feel good!

So, could it possible be that millions of women are addicted to shopping and we could possible be shopaholics? I wonder if my local community centre offers shopaholics anonymous? I know some girls who will go shopping after they brake up with their boyfriends just to cure the emotional pain. I have began to think maybe shopping is healthy for us or I am just brainwashed. Whatever shopping does for you, I know it will make me feel better any day of the week, especially if I get a great deal on something I absolutely love!

I know what you mean I love shopping! The other day I had a rough day but I ended up buying a great handbag and my day went from being a total downer to a great day.

The reason I'm writing is that I work for Matchstick, a word of mouth marketing company based in Toronto. For the program I'm currently working on, we are looking for young, fashionistas chic, like you! Most importantly, I'm on the hunt for women who write popular blogs that discuss topics like fashion, health and beauty and savvy current events, with the hopes that they'd be willing to participate in a short survey about fragrance habits and opinions.

The survey won't take too much of your time. I'd love to get the chance to connect with you and get your valuable feedback!

Please feel free to email me at cynthia@matchstick.ca and you can let me know if you're interested in participating and how best to get in contact with you.
Thanks in advance,
Cynthia
