Chocolate tastes better when you haven't had it for awhile, and buying a new bag feels more special when you haven't gotten one in awhile.

@whateve ...and after not having chocolate for a while the cheap stuff you might - at least I tend to- wolf down when you have chocolate every day just to fill a void tastes exactly as awful as it is and you won´t eat it anymore (until falling back into the hole.)
Transferred to bags: when we carefully chose them and take our time we won´t buy the random mistakes!

Good one! Hand bags and chocolate comparison I’m loving. It’s okay to browse the whole shop but I can’t eat/have it all! The odd purchase is fine and should lead to no guilt at all. :lol:

That response is terrible; it’s a great bag with a lot of life, and it did choose you!

The response was absolutely shocking. Sure, they were strangers but it felt like an entire community turned its back on me. Their envy was a massive turn-off so I left the group and haven't looked back since! As for chocolate... I'll be indulging in a big slice of cake tomorrow while I attempt to do schoolwork.

I haven't really given an update on my mental health in the past few days. I made the tough choice to move the weight of my second midterm to the final, making the final worth a whopping 45 percent. This isn't the greatest choice but life is full of tough choices. I believe that I can do much better on an exam without the fear of catching COVID at a school where cases have been documented alongside being anxious + depressed. I really wish my professor would've responded quicker, over a day with no response, but this decision doesn't concern him. It's about MY needs.

Ho-ho-ho... my Christmas present to myself arrived today. It´s gorgeous!

The colour is great, the leather feels like silk, the smell is heavenly and the condition of the bag almost like new. I´m really happy!
It´s one of the 2009 bags, a little smaller than my other two, but still a very nice size.

The price was ok (VC had an interesting coupon I couldn´t miss out on!) given the number @SouthernPurseGal mentioned she paid for the one she painted blue and what I paid for my black one, but of course not as good as the bargain I had with the mustard coloured purse. Still no regrets. I did my research and am sure I bought the cheapest of this model on the market within my reach.

And now I will be a very good girl and (after giving it a little tlc) wrap this beauty up and put her away until Christmas!
