  Buying something I really want and need is always a good way to boost my mood, and with things the way they are at present I felt that a little splurge was not without justification. So I went out and bought a brand spanking new wallet. It's gorgeous. Soft soft leather. Bright red. Just enough pockets to fit my multitude of cards. Oroton. I *love* it. Did I mention how soft it is?
And that leather smell. Ooohh it is fine! Another purchase....brazil nut body scrub. Made from community traded brazil oil from the Amazon region, Soya oil from Brazil and sugar from Paraguay. Smells good enough to eat. After just one use I have sloughed away my stress and am feeling smooth and exhilarated. This little exercise in retail therapy has assisted me in picking myself up, dusting myself off, and starting all over again. **** who?? ?
