Window Shopping to Relieve Stress – Not a Wordless Wednesday

I’ve recently come to realize that I window shop – via my iPhone when I’m stressed out. Call it a stress reliever, call it a mind escape, call it whatever, but it works. For me at least.

People always ask me “how I do it” how I manage to appear sane with 4 kids and I always answer the same: I eat, I drink and I shop. When I don’t have any money to spend, I window shop. I fill carts with products I’ll never buy, I plan extravagant events and renovations I’ll never have and I relieve tension and stress along the way.

I have also found myself window shopping into other peoples lives when I’m stressed and tense. Watching vicariously as they dress their children stylishly, go out to eat at fancy restaurants and show off their seemingly fabulous lives. You’d think that would be more depressing and add to my stress instead of relieving it, but it does the opposite. I bank the happy, I bank the beautiful and I bank the good for a later time. Besides, seeing my friends happy makes me happy.

This week’s wordless Wednesday theme is “window shopping”. Here is a collection of a very small few of my favorite window shopping products I’ve recently come across.
