Shiny!

Things which I, like anyone, end up having to buy on short notice while out if I have not had the foresight to bring them:

1. Snacks
2. Beverages
3. Warm clothing (e.g. sweaters)
4. Lip balm
5. Nail clippers

Moral of this story: Be prepared.

Things which, on seeing them, I invariably have a strong craving to impulse-buy unless I am already physically wearing instances of them:

1. Toe rings (in season)*
2. Scarves
3. Hats
4. Other jewelry (rings, bracelets)
5. Nail polish

*I.e., sandal weather, which for me is approximately May-October

Moral of this story: I should make a more concerted effort to use and enjoy the pretty things I already have.
