I Buy, therefore I Blog
I already author "Snygg, Sexig och (O)Frivilligt Singel", a rather popular blog about single life in Sweden. In that blog I try to keep a humorous tone and keep far away from subjects covering monetary exchanges.
THIS blog is (will be) completely different. Although most probably following the same general thread of ironic humor;
The purpose of this blog is to be a log of my shopping.
I have a well paid job as a manager in IT. I mean really well paid. Yet somehow I have problems making ends meet some months. The reason for this is my sometimes frivolous use of my (very shiny and metallic) American Express. Very dangerous card, indeed!
I allow myself quite a lot. It's clothes, it's gadgets, it's makeup, it's skin care products, it's shoes, it's sports gear, it's trips. I buy these things all over the place, in the shops here in Gothenburg, on airports as I travel and in the cities I go to, I buy online and via catalogue.
Time to start logging and, of course, rating! I'll share my experiences with you, both regarding the products I buy and, when applicable, the place where I got them. To start with, I may well cover purchases done earlier this month, but going forward all purchases covered will be current.
Starting this blog coincides with me trying to cut down on my shopping a bit. Let's see how well THAT goes! In fact, I kind of hope to use this as a way to cut expenses. If I have to admit to buying it, maybe I wont =)

Den här bloggen kommer kunna komplettera din andra mycket väl! Bra initiativ!
Coolio. So, comments in english, I presume?
You should also list all sorts of IT swag you may pick up at events, companies or trade shows. Freebies count too.
Hahaha good luck with the "cutting down" bit ;)
Splendid idea! I am truly looking forward to reading more about the ways you treat yourself...
Good show, Ms.Take!
Actually, seeing all your expenses in writing tends to cut them down a bit. The "gosh-did-I-buy-that"-factor is important.
Been there, done that.
As they say, you cannot take it with you. What else is there to do with money but spend, spend, spend???
I went shopping this evening for a laptop. On a Friday night. How sad is that? ;)
Kramar!
