“Retail therapy” gets too little attention from publications for men. When looking for a mood booster, it seems the job of the publisher is to tell you to go for a run, grab a friend and a few beers and watch the game, meditate, or maybe put on a record. How about, go shopping? Go grab that pair of sweet sneakers, that pop-up tent, that bike saddle that you always wanted. Here’s the thing: It feels good. And it will feel even better when the package arrives and best of all when you put your new … whatever to the test. Shopping really is self-care. If that’s the excuse you need … then go for it! |
