Things are finally winding down. Thanksgiving is over. Black Friday came and went. So we no longer have to brave the cold to be the first ones at the mall — nor do we have to wait in 12-hour Apple lines to buy the latest iPhone (a product that's no different to its predecessor, really). The madness that was last week is over with. Adios. Hasta luego. See you never.
The thing is, Black Friday isn't actually my thing. Watching thousands of people camping out on the Macy's concrete is exhausting enough for me. I'm simply not one for dedicating the entirety of a day to cueing up to buy a dress or an espresso maker. For that, I'd much rather take to the Internet: to the world wide web of shopping bliss. And there's really no better day to shop online than today. Right now. THIS SECOND.
Oh, Cyber Monday. Us online shoppers wish every day was Cyber Monday, really. The sales, the added gifts and samples, the promo codes and coupons. The majority of millennials I know prefer the ease of clicking that "Proceed to Purchase" button than the stress of handling a shopping mall and its many, many inhabitants — especially this time of year. But it seems like the more time passes us by, and the more we all adapt to technology's advancements, people of all ages are joining in on the e-retail fun.
If you thought you would be missing out because you were at work or school or at your kid's postponed Thanksgiving play (we are sorry for your monstrous snowstorm, Buffalo), fear not. The beauty of Cyber Monday is that it lasts through midnight (and sometimes even to the days that follow). So plant your booty on the couch. Put your feet up. Grab a glass of wine. And start clicking away. The fashion, beauty, jewelry and shoe possibilities are endless.
