Addictions
My name is Ashlyn, and I have a problem. I am addicted to nail
polish....and shoes...and purses. I mean I feel like most girls/women
have this problem, right? I didn't realize how much of the above items I
had until I started moving. I had bags that had just bags inside. I had
boxes of shoes and 3 shoe racks. I have so many colors of nail polish, I
could paint each of my nails (hand and toes) a different color...as
well as my friends. I have a problem. But instead of trying to fix it, I
just buy more! WHAT THE HECK ASHLYN?!!
Ok I'll be honest, I have gotten so much better with purses and shoes. I think with working a job were moccasins and Sperry's are not part of the attire I have bought less shoes. The problem is I have so many and I just can't decide what to get rid of. My boyfriend confronted me this weekend and told me I needed to get rid of 3/4 of my shoes. Seriously...a girl can't own just ONE pair of tennis shoes, ONE pair of sandals (that counts for flip flops too!), ONE pair of black shoes, ONE pair of brown shoes and ONE pair of boots. 5 pair of shoes??? Yeah right boyfriend..that can't happen. (Confession, so if I only kept 1/4 of my current shoes I would have more than 5...more like 15...yes...I have like 70 pair of shoes but that's not the point!) I need options! I need to accessorize! And I think that's where the purses and nail polish come in....
Since middle school I have always had polish on my nails. Ok, not always but 75% of that time I did. And again, a girl needs options. One week I may be feeling super bright and wild, the next subtle and toned down, the next all glamorous and glittery! Plus, why would I go to the salon once a week and spend $20 on a manicure when I can buy polish?! AND HAVE OPTIONS! Oh! And I need to add that most of the time I buy the polish on sale...so that makes it a little bit more ok, right? But here is the real problem. A new color/line of polish comes out. I go to the store. I fall in love. Like hard. Like I must buy now. I come home and paint my nails. Still in love. Then I go to put the polish away and discover I already have 2 other bottles of polish that are EXTREMELY similar...and that's a problem. Can you tell me that you have ever in your life used one entire bottle of nail polish?! (And mini bottles don't count!) Probably not. I haven't and look at how much I paint my nails. So now I have 3 bottles of polish, that are close in color, and I will be lucky to use 1/4 of each one. And that is a problem.
So what does one do when they have an addiction? They get help. Friends. I need your help. DO NOT LET ME WALK IN TO ANY SHOE, PURSE, OR COSMETIC STORE ALONE. IF I HAVE ONE OF THE ADDICTION ITEMS IN MY HAND ASK ME TO JUSTIFY WHY I NEED IT (and I bet you'll get some lame excuse..and I'll think I did a good job).
But I think I have some friends out there that support my addiction. Holler! Crap. I'm right back to where we started. My name is Ashlyn...and I have a problem. Help.
No. Don't help. I'll be ok...plus I really need a new bottle of purple polish.
No. Tell me not to buy it!
Unless...you want to borrow it...then tell me to buy it...
