Cathy: ...Wait! That top's a perfect match for my new inversion short! Saleswoman: Deep cleansing breath as I remove the Visa from your purse... The essential oils. The essential diffuser. The sweat-wicking, chakra-awakening, form-fitting, yoga-specific pant. The microfiber meditation tank. The tranquility top. The post-relaxation wellness slipper. The sticky mat. The block. The bolster. The strap. The tote. The gurgling serenity fountain. The meditation gong. The incense burner. The Tibetan prayer chimes. The affirmation beads. The mini-book of sacred chants. The energy-balancing solo harp CD, prairie hawk CD, and Himalayan singing bowl CD. The yoga experience, American-style.... "Mall-asana": The shopping pose.

I don’t know but I’m guessing there are more women shopaholics out there than men. Shopping is one of the more popular things to do these days. Happy Sunday all.

What I want to know is, where do these shopping maniacs get their money? It costs so much just for the essentials for living, who has extra for the fluff?
rgcviper over 10 years ago
OK, Cathy. Just step slowly away from the counter and put down the money, and no one gets hurt.
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

I enjoy those things if I’m treating myself to a facial or a massage, but I would never buy them.Hello Cathy clan!

I have some friends who are darn near addicted to exercise and yoga wear made by Lululemon (yes, the infamous store with the “sheer yoga pants scandal.)” They insist the clothes are much better than any other, so they spend 90 dollars and up for yoga pants. Meanwhile, I get nice fitting ones for abuot a third of that price on sale at Victoria’s Secret and even Target, and they hold up just fine for yoga, dance, eve skating.. That, a yoga mat, an inexpensive book demonstrating the exercises, and my own music collection works quit well for some morning yoga. Happy Sunday, Cathy clan!

I hate shopping of any kind with two exceptions: I’d MUCH rather spend my rare extra cash on my two favorites hobbies — reading and cross stitching. Because those things are my greatest passion in life [besides my family, that is!] and just give me so much pleasure, I feel like I’m getting way more for my money spending it that way instead of on any other kind of “fluff” out there that would definitely make my life much less happier than those things do.
Meanwhile, the pleasure Cathy feels today on all those “relaxing” yoga “essentials” is going to feel a lot LESS pleasurable when she gets that $1,000+ Visa bill next month!!!!!
Hi, rgcviper!
Hello and happy Sunday, “Cathy” clan. Hope everyone’s been having a really nice weekend so far!

I took a Yoga Teacher Training course, and I had to make 2 trips to the car for every class — just to haul all the junk in. Ballet is so much easier.
