 If shopping were an Olympic sport, I'd be a gold medalist. And while my bank account often feels the crunch, I just can't stop buying secondhand clothing and accessories, under-the-radar beauty products, stuffed animal unicorns (I have about 00), and toys for my pet bunny rabbit. After 00 years of public transportation, I now drive and love to tour the Virginia countryside looking for vintage shops, undiscovered wineries and breweries, historic sites, and Thai restaurants - I'm addicted to Thai food. I never leave home without a spare phone charger because I love horror movies and therefore have an irrational fear of being stranded somewhere with a dead battery.
