No Buy Week #25: WHY did I buy all this? A Radical Display of Everything I was Influenced to Buy

Right so this is another one for my own exposure therapy, confronting everything I didn't need to buy but bought anyway because I was so sucked into social media and the aspirational content and the idea that I could buy a piece of that life and aesthetic too, without doing the inner work to FEEL that life and aesthetic (happy, calm, put together...) on a regular basis. If you have to skip it because of all the STUFF, no hard feelings. Hope to see you in the next one. 0:00 Hi, this is hopefully the last of the embarrassing videos showcasing my past habits 0:09 Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 0:19 what I mean by "influenced" 0:57 the plot thickens...online influencing really led to my shopping 1:53 my most embarrassing video? 2:10 I want to think I'm a smart person but... 2:38 DISCLAIMER, PAUSE TO READ 2:44 at the dining table once again... 3:12 candid closeup 5:08 KITCHEN STUFF that you don't need to buy 7:07 Caraway pans STAIN SO BAD don't buy them 7:30 what I wish we had bought instead 10:04 omg it's an air fryer 10:46 would I have bought one without the influence? 11:22 "elevated" kitchen utensils... 12:13 if I hadn't seen them I wouldn't have bought them 12:26 eco-friendly swaps, NOT regrets 13:33 I DO regret this compostable phone case 14:14 and the octobuddy 14:37 blueland cleaners...love and hate 15:58 a container from a YouTuber business 16:36 consumables...emma chamberlain cringe 17:47 other consumables that were already consumed... 18:45 meal kits or deliveries are expensive and wasteful 19:47 I have NOT tried Athletic Greens but I kind of wanna try greens powder? 21:03 subscription boxes suck 22:19 general tiktok influences... 23:23 a product I ACTUALLY find useful - sponsor me? haha 23:42 I have a different lotion I use, shouldn't have bought this 24:36 I don't watch the "Amazon must-have" influencers now but I used to 26:08 influenced makeup closeup 28:02 influenced hair products 29:18 hair and beauty are SO influence-able 29:58 big mama Dyson airwrap, not just a hair tool but a self soothing tool 30:44 purses and bags, an achilles heel 31:44 hi my name is Alexa hope I didn't wake up your devices 32:22 along with embarrassing overconsumption is embarrassing pronunciation 33:18 matching yellow tiktok influenced style 35:29 starting to get into clothes... 36:33 how I used to do Christmas... 37:31 I remember wanting this so much! 38:35 WHY DID I TRUST INFLUENCERS 38:52 jewelry, rocks, and secrets from my husband 45:52 AUDIO QUALITY IS BACK HERE 46:08 NOT a Stanley thank you very much 47:12 eyemask of stupidity 47:50 I don't blame the influencers, really 48:45 getting into clothes again 50:40 it's that silly fruit print robe 52:00 I wanted to try this because it's expensive 52:14 and now for shoes 55:09 the ludicrous-ness of long sock boots 56:04 other people's love of stuff made me want it 57:00 the vivaia pink slides are put to bed once and for all 57:55 these may not be my style but I just think they are because I bought them 58:04 my favorite bag brand 01:00:00 dental insecurity purchases 01:01:17 do you have any areas of insecurity? 01:01:26 influenced clothing I'm not decluttering 01:02:28 purchased style vs. intuitive style again 01:05:37 I was in a vulnerable place 01:06:09 finally I learned not to follow fashion influencers 01:08:32 there's no end to the stuff I bought because I was influenced 01:09:48 REAL TALK - TLDW #influencer #overconsumption #shopaholic #shopping #problem #reflection #nobuy #nobuyyear
