I do love shopping, especially for clothes. I'm a big fan of shopping with my husband, and I'm lucky he also likes going shopping. Usually, we buy something in physical shops and then online shops. I'm a big fan of buying things for my baby, like clothes or toys. I think shopping can help me disconnect a little bit. I find it's really therapeutic. So, I do love shopping.
