Whats upppppppppppppppppp? Yall miss me? lol Well, I have been working, but now I have the next 5 days off work ( by my request) to regroup and get my self and thoughts in order.
Growing up, I always had toys/things that require batteries. If I ran out of batteries for my toy, eletronic item, that was it. I couldnt play it until I got some more. That bothered me and use to get on my nerves. So now that Im grown. I can’t be without batteries. I am addicted to them. When Im shopping, I see some batteries, I will buy the pack of duracells/energizer that have 100 (well you know) in the pack. I have all sizes in my home office. If a remote goes out, Credog to the rescue. I GOT IT. If my radio remote goes out. I GOT IT. If my flash light goes out. I GOT THAT TOO. I do not play when it comes to battery operated items. I love buying batteries. Is something wrong with me?
Which leads me to this question. What do you buy now as an adult, that you had to do without growing up, that you can’t go without NOW.
Name the item and share a short story behind it.
Inside the mind of cree 
Man clothes… being the youngest of 5 girls I would get a lot of hand-me-downs. My sister’s were pretty fly so it wasn’t a big deal at the time. Oh but today… Girl I have more clothes than I know what to do with. I’ll go to the mall not just buy the shirt that I like… I’ll be that ish in every color. I’m a junkie.
Cute background by the way…

I got to have some types of lotion. Not the cheap kind, I got to have the good kind. When I was growing up we used jergens and maybe baby oil. Now that I’m older and realized how sensitive my skin is I got to make sure I have some good lotion with some vaseline, cocoa butter and real African shea butter. The shea butter is hard to find but I know of this african store here that sells it for 10 bucks a jar. It’s worth it too. See I have eczema and it’s not bad but it’s mild and sometimes if I sweat my clothes cling to me then I’ll break out and my skin will look like a rash and like I’ve been scratching myself when I haven’t. My mom said I had it bad when I was a baby so she put Nivea on me, which I just recently purchased last week (a big jar) at Walmart because I didn’t have 10 bucks to get the shea butter. What i do sometimes is take a empty jar and mix all my ingredients together like olive oil, shea butter, vaseline and some nice smelling lotion like Body Works sweet pea or something like that and place in the microwave for a few seconds till the shea butter and vaseline or cocoa butter melts then stir it all up with my finger or a knife to make it all one cream. Everyday after my bath I put this stuff on all over and keep my skin from being too ashy, especially in the winter months. I drink plenty of water (1.5 liter) and I’ve been told that I have very soft skin. In the summer months I don’t use too much of the creams because it’s too hot for all of that but that is something I need more now than I ever did as a child. It’s too the point I can’t stand rough skin on myself. My daughter is the same way.

For me it is clothes and Coach purses. My mother used to buy my clothes 3 sizes to big so they wouldn’t reveal my shape, I was shapely early, anywhoo, so I was the tallest girl in my class with ill fitting clothes, blaaaah! Not to mention they were unfashionable. One year for school my mother bought me three pairs of the same jeans, all 2 sizes too big. So not only didn’t my clothes fit but then I looked like I had the same pair of pants on everyday. My obsession with Coach purses came from my mother having the bright idea of sending me to an all girls catholic school so that I would at all costs avoid the boy situation. We were poor, by every sense of the word. So now I am in school with the bougie black girls and a coach purse was the thing to have and if u didn’t have one u didn’t fit in. In an all girls catholic school you were outcasted if you were considered poor! Not having a Coach purse to me equates poverty to this day!
