Confessions of a Proud Product Junkie

I confess to endless nights following blogs and viewing YouTube channels for product reviews. This allows me to have insight on all the pros and cons of the various products. I justify my decision to purchase by saying, “oh she has the same hair type as me, it has to work for me if it works for her”. I then proceed to look for the best deals, so that I won’t feel bad about buying the product, just in case it doesn’t work. Also, it gives me the opportunity to buy more products with the money I save…Ching-Ching! But, my product junkie tendencies don’t end there. I go to Sally’s at the beginning of the month to see what products they have on sale. Sometimes I leave out empty handed, but that’s unlikely because the products that I know work are often on sale and I have to have a backup jar. I used to shop at Ross, Marshall’s and TJ Maxx for clothes, shoes and accessories. Well, now I go to stock-up on products that I feel are essential to my collection. If I ranked my habit of buying products it would be ranked right up there with buying shoes, which I admit is pretty bad because I have 150 pairs (not counting the ones in storage). At least my shoes, which is more than I can say about my hair products. My hair products are scattered about in every room of my home: my bedroom, bathroom, in bins, in baskets, in cabinets and even the kitchen. I justify my habit by telling myself that since I no longer go to a salon, I am saving money and investing in my hair so it’s okay.
