What are my hobbies?
Reading, watching Netflix, cross-stitching, playing with my kitten… and shopping online.
And its a very dangerous one for my wallet.
Sometimes I just Windows shop.

Other times, I splurge especially if the return policy is lenient and thedeals are plentiful.
But those online shopping deals arent always obviously pasted on a sites homepage.
