60 - de-influencing & intentional consumption

sharing my thoughts on "de-influencing" which i refer to as "mindful consumption" ~ if you've listened to previous episodes of the podcast on skincare and self-care, i've always found that knowing i can do something that's good for me at a low cost is weirdly empowering in this capitalist hellscape that we live in lol not that i think making or spending money is "bad" but i think there's a balance to be struck with everything and more empowering/sustainable perspectives to have when it comes to anything, especially our consumption. you don't need to pressure yourself to be perfect, being aware and intentional is better than being mindless and ignorant! buy everything on sale finish existing products before purchasing new products lifestyle first, products second break the trend cycle know what you’re working with do what you enjoy not what you feel you have to do manage the accounts your follow/ content you consume invest in hobbies and experiences instead of just things get a handle on vices/addictions
