The places dreams are made of. I feel like my best, most creative self in 99 cent stores and beauty supply stores. I could honestly spend hours perusing the aisles! When I’m feeling down, I go hang out at the ones in my neighborhood and I always come out feeling a little better.

Dollar general, dollar tree, family dollar all of them are amazing places. You either get multiple come ups, buy something you know isn’t gonna work but the deal crazy, or see the most lethal verbal exchanges you’ll ever witness as long as you live. I’ll never skip a chance to walk those unorganized palaces of wonder.

When I was in my hometown for the holidays, my sister and I were very bored and very broke. So, we started just walking into random stores and just looking around. Just lallygagging. It was actually way more fulfilling and relaxing than actually buying anything. Because we couldn't get anything, there was way less pressure and we could just enjoy looking at things. We started noticing things that normally we would pass by, driven by the purpose of a purchase.
One day, we spent like 20 minutes smelling every single candle in the candle aisle at HomeGoods. Another day, we looked at the weird silverware and cups at TJ Maxx. We also frequented Half Price Books and skimmed old Microsoft Excel books from 2009 and Child Development books.
Don't limit yourself to Target.

all stores should be dollar stores bc it’s proof that most of the shit we pay for in “regular“ stores absolutely shouldn’t be marked tf up they way they are.
Anyways that place is so CLUTCH when you need a to re-up on toothpaste, a phone charger and a cool drink.

I’m not like a real musician so I love seeing incredible musicians being their effortlessly amazing selves, singers (sangers) especially. This song has been stuck in my head for the past 7 years.

Especially now that I’m committed to being blonde, I like throwing away all of my money into a void. That financial void helps fill the void in my heart and I pack it with miscellaneous nice-smelling chemicals that claim to make my hair longer, stronger, healthier, and shinier. I somehow believe it will make me more beautiful and more powerful than ever before (I’m still not beautiful nor powerful). I always *think* it’s kind of maybe almost working if I squint in the mirror and think happy thoughts but despite the ambiguity I keep buying and buying and buying anyway, bewitched by the creative descriptions and captivating packaging engineered to trick suckers like me into false hope. Even though I understand the deception on an intellectual level, the emotional high of collecting far outweighs the acknowledgement of an inconvenient truth. The sweet smell of denial!

It’s my birthright to be a jerk and I really exploit that right to the fullest (especially because one of my bandmates is from Long Island).
