Shopping and cleaning are my two main forms of therapy any time something goes sideways in my life. I may not always buy things but the distraction of looking at new, exciting, and fun things helps to make me move out of my funk some. I’ve been married for 10 years so hopefully I won’t ever have to use for breakups ? but hopefully this helps someone still in the dating scene.

I did a lot of retail therapy after my divorce from my first husband. He didn’t approve of me wearing dresses or anything at all revealing so I was sure to get all the sexy dresses I could!
