How Do I Fix My Addiction?

They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. This is me admitting I have an addiction, but I don't know if just admitting it is going to fix it.

I have an addiction to online shopping. It's a serious issue. My bank account is crying and my closet is overflowing. (I am literally bidding on a sweater on Instagram as we speak.) I find myself four pages deep on Shein.com or Amazon and realize it's too late to go back because you've invested so much time. I can't lie too much, I do tend to put a lot in my cart and never end up ordering them because I'm too lazy, but it's the times when I don't hold back and I do order the whole cart, that is the issue.

I have a really hard time saving money and I blame online shopping and food. I hope I'm not the only one with this issue, and I just really wish it wasn't while I am in college because I'm extra broke. Maybe one day I will learn self control and can save money.

I guess one good thing about my addiction is I can share my shopping spots with you all. My favorite places for clothes are Shein, Zaful, American Eagle and Forever 21. Shein, Zaful and Forever 21 are the cheaper sights, but you do need plenty of time when ordering from here because shipping takes a while. American Eagle is where I shop when I really want to splurge. Most of American Eagle's clothes are comfortable, yet super fashionable so it makes for great outfits at my age. They also have very fast deliveries.

Moral of the story, if you catch me in a different top everyday of the week, know I am aware of my addiction and I doubt it's going to change anytime soon.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender. Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
