The Ultimate Test

My no buy has been going on for 5 months now and I got about 8 more months left to go. I just gotta say, shoot this has been getting easier and easier, but it's never easy :P. I have to owe it to my friends for helping me curve my cravings lately, I've received a plethora of goodies out of the blue and I'm bathing in sweet floral scents galore. My favorite thing about my no buy is how much it's gotten me to appreciate perfumes again. Buying myself perfume all the time didn't make me that happy, the buzz lasted only 2 days till 3 weeks later I was ordering something else. Unexpected gifts on the other hand? The buzz can last eternity, not because you love the perfume but also connecting it to the person who gave it to you, it makes me humbled and happy in a way a 1 a.m blind buy on ebay could never. It also makes me feel happy to send gifts back, it's just a big circle of perfume sunshine. This is some noble peace prize worthy shit right here, lol.

I feel like I'm finally ready to step into the eye of the storm. I have a silly, somewhat dumb childhood dream I want to live out. Working in a bath and bodyworks store. Hah, I know that it's not all sunshine and gummy bears like I thought it was when I was 6, but never the less it's something I feel like I just need to do. This summer when my class finished up in June I will be on the lookout for a 2nd job. Of course I have to prioritize for my future and look for physical therapy tech jobs, but if in the meantime I can work at bath and bodyworks for say...just a few months I would be thrilled. It's just something I need to do, I know I probably seem ridiculous. I want it as a novelty job, I want to see the inside works and work in the only place that has ever made me smile just by stepping in and out. Someone grab me a tissue box, jk. No but seriously I really hope I get to work there a little bit in some point of my life. It's a strange summer goal for a recent grad that's for sure.
