Shopping spree

I accidentally spent $100 on clothes today. They ambushed me. I swear! ok maybe not, but the main thing is they look hot and they were good value, I got a red jacket, a long black cardi/wrap thingy, and a black crochet-style loose holey top, all of which go well over a white singlet.

Clothes shopping was not actually the intended purpose of the trip, I needed to buy a going away pressie for a girl at work on behalf of the team, so I went to Chaddy after dropping Chris at work. I went to Ishka because I know she likes things that are a bit different. Got her some funky garnet earrings and bracelet, hopefully she'll like them. Since I was there I decided to have a wander around, tried out some makeup and stuff, and on the way out saw the mannequins in Jeans west looking pretty funky in the new season red and black getup, so decided to try some stuff on and then I just had to have it. Usually I hate clothes shopping, I am not the most fashionable person around, mainly because I think most high fashion looks pretty stupid on real bodies. But I do love red and black, especially together with a dash of white. No fussy prints, but give me a flattering black top over a white singlet with a red belt and I'm happy, if a little poorer.

Also got some homeopathic allergy spray and insomnia spray from the macro organic centre. Most allergy stuff is aimed at hayfever but this is supposed to target food allergies so for $13 its worth a try. I'm considering making an appointment for a consultation with their naturopathy clinic, its $65 for the first consultation, and of course that would involve them giving me a list of more things to spend money on, but they specialise in allergies, low energy and fatigue, insomnia, stress and anxiety.. the list of things that applies to me goes on. I wouldn't do a detox program without professional advice because of all my allergies, but it could potentially do me a lot of good so its worth at least considering.

I'd want to ask some pretty hard questions about the science behind it all. Remember the fortune I spent on that Vega testing for you that's pretty much been debunked?
Best bet is still a proper allergist who'll cost more but you'll get some back on your insurance and won't get dodgy self-serving advice.
btw the clothes sound interesting... different... noice

They aren't offering a diagnosis, I just want some advice about detoxing
