We're coming up on a huge shopping season. We're staring down the barrel of the holidays when we're likely to max out our credit cards getting gifts for the family… and maybe a few treats for ourselves.

It's amazing how good shopping can make you feel, at least in the moment. Selecting an item you like, adding it to your cart, and waiting for it to arrive at your house is a beautiful feeling. It momentarily takes away all the pain and leaves only excitement. This is why we call it retail therapy. If you're having a bad day, it doesn't hurt to head over to your local Sephora and peruse the aisles. Okay, it might hurt your wallet, but that's beside the point. It's the dream of consumerist America, and not many are immune. So if you count yourself in those numbers-- folks who get a little rush of adrenaline every time they press "order," then these memes are for you.
