The blessing / curse of Primark


...Especially if you're just a student, who doesn't really have time to get a job to gain some money, to not to speak about the stack of books he has to finish reading.
This student is (duh!) just like me. My college takes literally almost every time I have. And the time I have, I like to spend it on my hobby's, like reading, watching movies and catching up tv-shows, writing and doing work-outs. Time to shop... No I don't really have that. Even though I'm not required to be present during the colleges I have; I still want to be there as much as possible.
And don't get this wrong, because... oh yeah! I kinda am a big shopaholic, one of the best, I guess. But I simply don't have much time and money to shop weekly. I already hear my wallet crying...

(Bút when I go shopping... I do it right. I live my life, and I don't allow anyone to come between me and the things I want to buy.)

But, unfortunately, I'am never able to control myself when I visit certain shops. You already know that the drugstore is one of these shops. But the Primark too.
Sinds there is a Primark in the city I live in (and to make it even worse, it's like less then 5 minutes from my home...) I realize that the times I am broke are so much more than a year before.

This is seriously a bad thing, and I don't really know how to stop myself. Yeah, well, it's easy: just don't spend that much money on things you know you don't need... But trust me, it more complicate than that. Because I already know that it's stuff I don't need. But how do we interpret this word in this case? ''Don't need'' No, I don't need it, in terms of ''Yes, I'm not poor, I have plenty of bags/jeans/dresses/scarves/shoes/etc. As a thing an sich I indeed, don't need it. But mentally, I really do need it. And that's one thing I disgust about being addicted (to anything, it doesn't matter what): I know it's bad for me and that I don't need, but if I don't buy it (in case of this stupid addiction) I won't be able to stop thinking about it.

If anyone has tips/tricks for me about how to deal with this stupid addiction, please let me know down below!

But still, this does say about my satisfaction with the products of the Primark. Because honestly, the things they sell are so much better than the stuff I buy from other shops. It's cheap and (often, not always) a pretty good quality. And they sell almost everything! Seriously, even (face) cleansing wipes I buy from there. That is what I love about the Primark. When you enter that shop, you basically (and I'm not saying that it is what I do...) don't need to go to other shops to buy things you wanted, because nine of ten times, you're able to find everything you're looking for in the Primark. It's everything in one place, and that's really handy. And what I also love is that - because it's that cheap - everyone, even the ones with less money, are able to buy those fancy things, so everyone is one and equal. That's how big the blessing of the Primark is.


When I go to the Primark, I literally spend so much, that I won't be able to spend money on anything again for the rest of the month (Without jokes: when I go shopping at the Primark with friends, I spend like 3, sometimes 4, times the money they spend). That's how bad I am. And that's how bad shopping is for me. And that's how big the curse of the Primark actually is.

But still, I love the Primark! They do a very good job in the field of Fashion. And as a fashion lover & blogger, it makes me really happy to see something like that.

Thumps up for the Primark!

Much Love <3
