Hello! First of all, it is good for you to care. Let's look at one very curious point of view of Marilyn Monroe on materialism and happiness in shopping.


While shopping money-wise, Marilyn Monroe quipped "Happiness is not in money but in shopping." This saying by Marilyn Monroe digs deeper into what the phrase shopping therapy basically is. For some shopping is not a mere process of accumulating possessions; it is a process of finding the best, hence the joy of finding, and the experience that the choices brings with it.

I went out for shopping too. I was thinking about the time I was exhausted overhandling my work pressure and stress from my day-to-day activities i enjoyed alot while doing shopping i visted stalls of jewellery, bangles, scorfs, clothes after thay there was no more happiness derived from the amount of money paid, but it came from a simple experience of looking around and getting exactly what I have been looking for.

Shopping also tends to display both the display and the soothing tendency. As a result, it is also being one of the main ways for self-care. It lets people have their their own memorial by choosing the things they surround themselves with and enhancing their identities. If it is the case of treating oneself to a new outfit or selecting a thoughtful gift for a loving person of whom one might want to stock a memory, the act of shopping creates the connections and stays at the back of one's mind.

In other words, this interpretes of Marilyn Monroe's notion confirms the possibility that happiness doesn't require financial shortages but it can be discovered in the little things in life such as shopping,

Sometimes, when you are down or stressed, we call shopping 'retail therapy'. It doesn't have to be something big purchased; it can be very small, but the act of hunting for it, finding a bargain, and purchasing it can be soothing.

Looks like you have an awesome selection of goods to choose from. I'm glad you found what you needed. Take care and thank you for sharing!

For me, it is finding the perfect fit for a need. The thrill of the hunt of something specific and no mere substitute.
