Tbh a lot of consoomerism stuff on tiktok in general reeks of people needing more play in their lives and healthy ways to occupy themselves. It's obvious in the fiddly packaging and multi-step products that the act of using it is meant to be satisfying rather than just the results.
Seeing kids slathering all this crap onto their faces in a clear imitation of tiktoks etc that they've seen is pretty depressing though, little girls shouldn't be doing that (and their mums shouldn't let them either), their skin shouldn't be a concern at all.

Curating a collection, learning more about what you collect, doing repairs or making stuff for your collection -like making doll clothes or furniture- is completely different from spending thousands in a matter of days to fill your shelves with crap you don't even really care about.
Consoomerism is now a replacement for a personality, it's weird as fuck to see even normal hobbies like reading and watching TV turn into someone's entire life. 'Can't wait to make this my whole personality/aesthetic/life!!!!!' every time a new mediocre show with ugly moids or a new ~spicy~ romantasy drops is insane, it feels like living in a particularly shitty Black Mirror episode.

I do think however regardless of if you're Japanese or not that wearing kids clothes like mezzo piano is pretty ageplay in the defense of some of the tiktok girls they might just genuinely be stupid enough to think that it's not a fetish thing while in Japan it's pretty much only used for obvious fetish fuel.
I just don't get why they chose kid's clothes in particular since cute clothing isn't a rare thing in Japan.

>>2052130I found a very good thrift shop fairly locally which just has a bunch of absolutely random shit. They often take out zippers or buttons from donated clothing if the clothing itself is unsellable. I like going there, even if I find just a couple of random pieces I will use later or need for a current project. I usually get zippers from there because they're dirt-cheap, like 1/20th of a price for a new one and they work and the most you have to do is pick off some leftover thread from it being unpicked (they have to anyway, because textile recycling they do requires taking that out)
What bothers me about that place is that it seems to me they just stock a ton of completely unsellable junk. Mugs and pins and t-shirts from conventions or places no one's ever been to, books that genuinely no one would be interested in, not even a library, hoards of cassette tapes both video and music (don't they degrade over use and you can't check if they're at all working unless you watch them in entirety?), broken children's toys…
I get it. Maybe it can be reused in some way, like you can customize it or use it for crafts. But most people simply won't bother. I see the same unfortunate pieces of trash every time I go, waiting for their lucky day, but I've been going for two years now and it seems to me that I see some of those items more often than I see some of my friends.

>>2052940Samefag, but around where I live, convention/event trash in thrift stores is just fucking inescepable.
I can go into any random thrift store and pick up like 5 marathon/blood drive/beerfest t-shirts at any of them. And they cost just as much as any other t-shirt.
Why would anyone even make these, who wears them after the event is over? I maybe get concert merch, but… do eauropean people really get like, free shirts for doneting blood? By the amount I find in thrift stores, most of them must just get dumped straight into the donation bin. Maybe give people a nicer free meal or something, that's much more useful after losing blood.
Also it makes me laugh, but also drives me insane in context, how often I find custom stuff from US/Europe in thrift stores. Shirts commemorating someone's granddad or dog or whatever. Why make these? If it's sentimental, why donate these? Why offload trash no one will buy onto poor people, even if said poor people can't even shop at most thrift stores anymore, because some thrift shops would have the same prices as buying new for some clearly worn stuff??

None of the rooms that have been posted are normal, what are you doing with ~2500 DVDs or hundreds, ~1000 volumes of manga you don't read, or hundreds of nsfw anime figures and sanrio plushies? There's no curation whatsoever. That's just consooming. Buying 40 books you don't read isn't much better than buying 40 cups you don't use. Even something like picrel which is kind of ugly and cluttered to me, is completely normal (for westerners) in comparison to those and probably a regular amount of consoom vs the insanity that is being defended.

She has a whole section on food-rage-bait, which is what this person is clearly doing. Food rage is very effective since people are very sensitive to food waste.
Also, has anyone else started tempering their reactions to consoom videos and the like? Now that the curtains have peeled back and many of these creators' goals are blatantly to get people to react emotionally, I don't want to give them what they want.

>>2057159The vast majority of her perfumes are cheap, low quality but trendy, or body sprays. If you're judging her based on the thumbnail, don't, because it's so much worse than you think.
This is insane poorfag levels of hoarding, the kind where they fixate on one 'rich people' thing to obsess over to prove they have money. Buying every Kayali perfume when she could have either gotten a much nicer vanilla perfume for less, or even stuck with the VS and Sol de Janeiro sprays she's also hoarding since they're about the same quality and smell almost identical, is an insane waste of money. There are a lot of nice perfumes in there but they're rotting away while she collects yet more shitty Tiktok perfumes.
And she has samples. I also have a lot of samples, which is why I don't have an entire perfume mausoleum. Just the samples and travel sprays (for reference travel sprays are normally 10ml of perfume, which is enough for an entire goddamn MONTH of daily use if you're not drenching yourself in it) are enough to keep her going for the next few years.
Also, I don't know why she doesn't sell decants. She has a weird fixation with having whole collections and different sizes of the same perfume to display, but she even said she's keeping perfumes she hates for the packaging, so why not sell the contents if she's not going to use them anyway? She could make back a decent bit of the fortune she's spent if she did that.

My 2 cents about the book hoarding : what makes it cringe isn't necessarily that some books go unread, the cringe is that it's all about being perceived and 'flexing' on people
- wanting only new or pretty books or all the collection bc you care more about the cover than the content
- doing something retarded like flipping the spine so it's all beige
- most of all, posting your books to the internet to give yourself a certain air
Picrel is the absolute height of retarded book consoomerism

I bet this girl thought she was beating the consoom but in a roundabout way this is even more consumerist. To be fully honest part of me finds this kinda cute like putting effort to make it nice with the milk and whatever extra add ons but then part of me is confused because why is is plastic cup and sticker the important part. You can still feel like you have a little treat even if it’s in a normal cup. Not even a coffee tumbler like a stanley type or those startbucks cups had effect she needed to go straight to the source. The crack must enter the bloodstream immediately. Anyway, everything is drenched in consoom, from the station with those same syrup pumps everyone has, the coffee maker, and even the sticker maker. And part of the appeal of a little treat is the experience of finding a shop or going somewhere regular and getting it, the vessel is secondary. So who knows, she probably is still going and getting something else but thinks she’s saving money by putting her homemade coffee in a single serve cup.

No. 2061107
>>2061071Yeah, she'd save more money than going out for a coffee if she just used a normal reusable cup (a normal ceramic or whatever new reusable cups that exist now) for her drink and used one of her stickers on it and still "manipulate" her weird ass brain into thinking she's drinking out.
Still I don't understand how it's come to the fact that people feel weird about not spending money on Starbucks or similar outside coffee/snack joints. I only ever spend some money on coffee to go if I have a train to catch to go away for a few days (that way I don't have to clean my coffee pot etc.).

>>2060681Can YOU read? No one should pay for medical bills. If I make $100k a year for 20 years, 23 dolls around $350-700 (standard branded BJDs, assuming they aren't recasts which are $60-200) are $8-16k. Given working for 8-12 hours a day for years on end, don't you think a person deserves a hobby or well extended collection? BJDs are often collected by artistic people who paint faces, trim/style wigs, and sew clothing. Yes, 23 dolls is a lot, but so is owning a new car for $55k or $500 PS5, not including $60+ games that may line a shelf and not touched in ages, but no one shits on men for that. I think it's beyond cruel healthcare is free for low income people, but a single chemotherapy for someone who got good grades in high school, studied their ass off in college, and makes decent money after all of that planning and intellect, now has bills $100k+ each, more than a years salary, that may or may not be covered, and only to a certain % after a 20k deductible is paid ASSUMING she has good insurance. I don't blame her for horder tendencies. Sometimes you want to spend on YOURSELF because all you do is think about others when you're not stressed out from a disease you didn't ask for. A single ambulance cost me $3k and $1.2k for the emergency room. I couldn't pay for it with all of my savings and I NEVER fucking spend on myself. Medical bills or tangible item? Guess what I pick?

to balance things out for the salty consoomer nonas here's some moid collector's room full of GI joes. all the photos he posts are deep fried but he has youtube videos where you can see all the stuff he's collected, but you have to stare at his face
No. 2061617
a friend of mine isn't as bad as the people in these videos, but she's definitely stuck in a consoom cycle to fill the void created by being mid-30s with no relationship, shitty dead-end job/no career, no real passions, etc, probably also fueled by bipolar or borderline. idk if this belongs better in a different thread, but i think she represents the audience of these kinds of videos and the person who dreams of having one of those crazy cluttered consoom rooms. as someone very minimalist and with great financial discipline, i wish i could say something to her, but it would be rude because we're not that kind of close. so i'll vent here and hopefully other nonas with my mindset will commiserate.
background:
>was an alcoholic, spiraled herself into a bankruptcy at 30 between spending on that and impulse purchases (but is many years sober now so good for her)
>bounces around from job to job for whatever will pay slightly higher, ends up trapped in a cycle of shitty jobs she hates but can't escape because her resume has no focus. can't get past a certain wage point becuase she'll self-sabotage and jump from a good job over an extremely petty reason and have to take a lower-wage one again.
>constantly stuck in a cycle of being behind on her bills and taking out payday loans and impulsively spending beyond her means. if she's single, she promotes an OF and even sad shit like footfinder and even does cam shows when she's really desperate, then drops it as soon as she has money again. recently escalated to doing customs and videos to hustle up more. we live in a place where sex work is literally paid and taxed work so she could be making decent money for this if she enjoyed it.
>moved from a more expensive state to a cheaper one to save money, now just spends the extra money on garbage, still has no savings
>apartment has gone from cutely decorated to hoard spilling out of her room into the shared space. always amazon etc boxes all over the place, most unopened. everything she bought and got over the dopamine high from is piled on racks/bookshelves and tucked into any weird corner she can find all over the house. her room is 100% walls and floors covered with stuff, most of which isn't nicely organized and little of which is recently dusted. (luckily, i'm not her roomate)
>constantly goes to walmart/ulta/etc high and buys stuff she doesn't need because she's super susceptible to aggressive advertising, convincing herself she needs it or it's useful or will be her next obsession. if she stays home and has any cash, she does the same thing on offerup/facebook marketplace because they're such good deals. takes out store credit cards so she can buy more things because they're the only credit cards that will approve her, treats the money like it's not hers yet.
some recent consuming sprees of hers:
>adopted a dog. decided she needed a baby gate for it, went on offerup to avoid spending a lot of money on one. instead bought 3 gates for a total of the same money, most of which didn't end up working (and she can't return), has now bought a total of about 5. spins herself up into doing needlessly complicated shit like keeping the dog in a baby pen in her (connected) bathroom behind an open door with a dog gate over it. has definitely spent at least $500 if not double that within 2 months of having him on things like a ramp so he can sit closer to her when she's at her desk. tried to adopt another dog because the dopamine hit of dog #1 wore off, that failed, tried to foster a dog, that failed, then literally the next day dropped dog #1 off at paid daycare because he was "too noisy" while she worked from home.
>decided she was going to start an edibles business and bought large-scale equipment like drying racks, a dedicated dehydrator, silicone molds, etc before even having any sales in the works. sunk weeks and tons of materials into testing instead of following one of the many recipes on the internet. ended up with a good product that people were willing to buy, but the phase ended and she stopped making them. too much of her money in general goes to weed (and i say this as a stoner myself) but she loses interest in any attempts to subsidize the cost (has worked at dispensaries, this hustle, etc) and seeks illegal weed when she can't find it cheap enough legally.
>sold a bunch of personal items to catch up on bills as usual, found out she was getting a $150 bonus from work, got a tattoo with the money before payday even hit despite still having payday loans and 0 savings. has gotten at least 4 tattoos in the past 2 years this way. she strictly goes to apprentices for the cheap rate, but has been lucky to get good work because she likes basic flash designs.
>decided she was going to get back into sewing, sunk a lot of money into fixing her vintage machine, and had the bad luck of going to the store when they were doing a closing sale and bought entire bolts of fabric. i bought some thrift store chairs that needed reupholstering and she jumped to offer to do it before even asking, and now she's had one of them sitting in her living room for the past 6 months because the phase ended. never takes advantage of having solid sewing skills either, like making her own clothes, despite being into a fashion style with heavy DIY roots.
>decided her hair was super damaged (it wasn't), actually damaged it with her friend's MLM nonsense brand (which she started for a moment to peddle as a side hustle but thankfully stopped), then got a series of 3 progressively shorter haircuts one after the other. took out an ulta store card to buy overpriced shampoos that did nothing for her and she'd use a few times before abandoning. she decided she had an immediate need to dye her hair a costume color despite this, and i had to talk her out of spending $30 on low quality hair dye when the pro brand was $13 at a different store because she only had the money if she could use the store card. she got frustrated when i tried to tell her to wait until payday when she had that much, and ended up buying it for her as an early birthday gift so she didn't fuck up her hair and her finances. managed to convince her to try some generic brand salon products instead of continuing to buy overpriced ulta nonsense at least.
>is goth, so every halloween, gets completely lost in the consoom and buys everything she can get her hands on that's got a spooky motif. at least some of it is useful items, but you're way past the point of too many when every wall of your room has them hanging like tapestries and the rest of the house has them hanging over the windows instead of curtains AND there's multiple on your bed. even the bathroom isn't safe and is completely themed after one movie, complete with multiple funko pops above the toilet where they belong, kek

The first two bullet points are a cycle I see a little of a younger version of myself in, and your friend is a pretty good specimen of zillenial death urge consoom spiral in general.
I genuinely think people like this need to start thinking more about their lives as a completed project and confronting the inevitability of their own mortality. I mean that in the nicest way possible, it does not have to be a bummer if you do it with guidance and are honest with yourself about what you actually care about.
Blog, but I was about as retarded as your friend until a bunch of people in my life died in short succession and it made me turn to philosophy and other such gay shit to think about what I was doing with myself. A lot of the looming terrors of my life that I was avoiding by spending and drinking became manageable this way, so instead of fucking around moping about climate change and my art degree or whatever, I became an electrician and now I install solar panels, a job too useful and too straight forward to get away with nonsense at.
So, to answer your question, I guess you could assassinate some of her family members and see if that sparks something?

Now that I think of it I wonder If a lot of consoomerists are just addicts, and especially young ones are just frying their brains in search for dopamine hit that is more acceptable than typical stuff - alcohol, drugs, porn (popular with men, all that gooner stuff). Could be a tinfoil theory, but they are setting themselves for a life or

not sure if this video has been posted yet, but it's an interesting conversation about how "self care" has been heavily commercialised. it's strange that self care = buying tons of skincare, scrubs, and overpriced waterbottles, instead of things that would actually improve your well-being like taking a walk, exercise, or reading an educational book.
>>2061986you definitely weren't there, that vaseline anon's biggest sperg was about how buying scented chapstick was "giving into patriarchy and anyone buying chapstick is brainwashed or a pickme". it was blown way out of proportion and really extremist. some women want to have chapstick that also smells good. it's not that complicated and there's no conspiracy.
>>2062031>Now that I think of it I wonder If a lot of consoomerists are just addicts, and especially young ones are just frying their brains in search for dopamine hitthat's usually the root of shopping addiction. it's to constantly get a hit of dopamine. there's often underlying depression or some people are unmedicated ADHD. shopping addiction is even more normalized now that addicts are literally getting famous from it when they post their hauls on social media. most don't see it as an addiction.

>>2062087Kek it’s ok nona I give a fuck. Honestly this is pretty depressing, if she makes $20 an hr I think she could easily pull herself out of the cc debt hole especially if she’s working at it with her nigel if she quit consoomer spending for a few months. There’s around $6-700 worth of merch in that image alone, not counting the stuff in her office. I really think credit card debt is way too normalized, I have a friend with a couple thousand in cc debt and every time we go out she spends more on her card and has to buy something from every store we go into, even if we’re just window shopping. I really don’t want her to dig herself deeper into debt, but the only thing I can do is suggest free options like taking a walk or going to free events
Anyways my personal cow is kind of similar to these but to an insane degree. Obese and bad with money and loves shitty anime merch, she came into a lot of money (around 150k) a few years ago and instead of putting anything into savings to take care of her kids she started renting an expensive big house, quit working, bought a fuckton of furniture, bought tens of thousands worth of Jujutsu Kaisen/shounen giant resin statues, eating expensive food and ordering takeout all the time, constant hair salon and nail trips. And she wasted everything, a few months ago she had to move back into an apartment and trash or sell almost all the furniture for pennies on the dollar because it won’t fit in her new place, and has resumed ebegging while using her kids as a way to get sympathy.

congrats to you nona for getting your life together though, that shit is difficult!
>>2062031i'd love to do that, but there's a high chance it would ruin our friendship. i'm in the exact opposite place in life (long time married, own a house/car im happy with, career i enjoy, partner who pays the bills, financial freedom to pursue my hobbies esp because i have tight financial restraint on impulse/unnecessary spending otherwise) so it will definitely come off like telling someone with chronic depression to just take a walk and they'll cheer up. getting to where i am in life took a lot of effort, but people seem to take me giving advice as being condescending or bragging unless they come to me for it first. i really dont mean to make this sound like "all my friends are jealous of me", but a mutual told me that this particular friend has said negative things in jealousy when upset about her own situation. i agree with you that having an addictive personality type is part of her problem too; she's kind of just replaced drinking with smoking more weed.
>>2062047Jaws, actually, lol. a book or a themed shower curtain isn't weird, but it's odd to be greeted by a over-the-toilet rack of soulless-eyed funko pop sharks when you open the door
i don't have enough to write a greentext about it, but my father in law also ended up in bankruptcy in his early 50s solely because of buying nerd shit. he took out a credit card with some best buy type site that did just nerd shit (boomer behavior lol) and fell completely into the consoom cycle. every available wall of his room and the common spaces of the house were covered in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves packed with as much garbage as would fit. the usual suspects of funko pops and walmart-tier shitty action figures (since this was at the start of the funko pop heyday) but also whole series of tabletop RPG books. anyone in that hobby can tell you that those are fucking expensive and have a million versions and supplemental materials to collect, so most of it went to buying that stuff and not even secondhand. also hoarded copics and art supplies because he's a legitimate freelance artist, only to switch to digital coloring and stop using 90% of them.
at least his story ends well, he had the bankruptcy and realized he'd fucked up at way too big of an age over something way too dumb and sold/donated/got rid of all of it when he moved from that apartment. now he's extremely particular about only keeping one bookshelf of items that have high sentimental value to him so that he can't overconsume and forces himself to get rid of something if he wants to add something new that wasn't a gift. he still hasn't figured out how to solve the root of his problems, but at least he has enough money to survive now.

You're also correct that your circumstances and personality are different enough that any advice you give is probably going to made her feel hard done by. I know I often did.
Ultimately she's only gonna find her grit in her own time, which sucks for you because who knows if and when that will happen? I certainly hope she realizes, like I did, that you can toughen up and still be curious and flamboyant and have stupid hobbies.
Also apprenticeships pay well, traveling electricians make good money, and union pensions kind of rule, just saying.
>>2062710You're singing my song. I love my friends. I wish they respected themselves more. I think they see me having a million hobbies and they assume I'm still more or less living like they do and I used to, but I don't pay shit for things anymore, and I gave up everything that was too expensive or made me lazy in other ways. They just grumble about how nice it must be to be making trade money, but its way less than they think.
People go on Target hunts because it kind of feels like an outing. They buy crafting kits because it pretty much feels like making something. I get it, I'm genuinely not judging. You think I always feel like going to my community garden plot to hose off squash bugs? You think woodworking wouldn't be 10000 times easier if I just gave in and bought fancy tools and new lumber? But it'd be way less satisfying, and I wouldn't get to be so smug about the results.
I think people just want to feel useful and appreciated, and when you find that its easier to only get trinkets and silly stuff you really do love and ignore the rest. But we live in a set up that makes it impossible not to feel completely neurotic about this stuff.

She's able to afford this because she's a war vet that got honorably discharged or w/e for some injuries and her husband seems like he's pretty high ranking in the military from what she's said. She also worked/works at a piercing studio as a receptionist which explains the amount of piercings. Oh, and apparently her daughters are banned from entering the yaoi dungeon but they're into sailor moon and shit themselves and she is enabling them to become hoarders like her.
Reading this over I feel like I know way too much about her but she's really open with her personal life so it's not like this info was hard to find.

>>2064592honestly there was more discussion about it a few threads ago. I previously posted a list of youtubers who make anti consumption videos, most of the youtubers just cover the same topics like trends, disingenuous influencer marketing, people buying to cope with life, telling people to not buy stuff in excess etc, as well as some documentary style channels that cover the impact of fast fashion and stuff like how fast food became so big, if I can dig it up I'll update and repost it. unfortunately there's very little content on people actually rejecting skincare and makeup, but people do seem to recognize that they are industries that profit off of inventing insecurities. look at Sephora kids, that is the most extreme result of this and literal 8 year olds are scared of wrinkles, it's fucking depressing. if adults are so susceptible to it god knows how psyopped literal children are
and I think the best thing anyone can do whether they think they have consoom problems or not is to install adblockers and the youtube ad skip extension. it's honestly baffling how few people use them, especially for youtube, and would rather just pay for youtube premium, I even have friends who don't spend tons of money who do that instead of just installing an ad skipper? anyways even if you don't really have issues buying stuff, it doesn't really feel good to have ads spammed in your face 24/7 even if it's not something you would want, it's still taking up mind space and i honestly hate it

>>2064592It reminds me… there was a huge trend with make up couple of years ago - every influencer and make up company had constant new releases, usually this included like 4 different make up palettes. It was peak consumerism and creating FOIA. It was a vicious cycle - youtuber would review all of them (often sponsored video) and they were ALWAYS advertised as special limited edition that would never come back (a lie, this is a marketing trick)
But i think it kinda died down around covid?
at least for me the moment when people were over it was jeffrey star and his new make up every fucking week, and veeeery unfortunate timing of his 'cremated' palette during pandemic lol
But I think covid kinda made consumers to turn to skin care routines or home decor stuff? I am interested in other nonnas opinion on consoom trend shifts.

For the nonna that made this thread:
I think your thread was very interesting and I would love to continue this discussion, but you should remake it and rename it something different to consoom/consumerism and similar as to not make mods raise their brows, I think that's the reason why it got shut down. The name was too similar even if the topic was more distinct. If you remake the thread (I hope you do) please link it, it was interesting. Maybe something like pink tax thread would work better.

>>2065655I wanted to respond to one of the nonas in that thread who was talking about full body deodorant and asked do non-armpit places even smell. armpits and crotch have apocrine sweat glands that secrete a fluid that interacts with skin bacteria to cause a strong odor. there are also some apocrine sweat glands around the nipples. hence the cleaning yourself joke about 'tits, pits, and naughty bits'. the sweat glands on the rest of your body are eccrine sweat glands and do not excrete the fluid that so malodorously interacts with your skin bacteria. this is why whole body deodorant is not necessary.

>>2066401Yes, but why is she so scared of skin cancer in particular? Why not be scared of lung cancer and move to somewhere with few cars and little pollution? If she works a non-remote office job and has to largely sit in an office all day, that's not good for her health either right? Skin cancer is the easiest thing to push because the "solution" to skin cancer as well as fear of aging, is a product that you slather on your face several times a day. It doesn't require a lifelong lifestyle change, like finding a new job or changing your diet or starting an exercise routine. Again the existence of sunscreen is not bad, you should wear it if you're going to be under the sun for hours. But people, not just on lolcow, acting like sunscreen is a necessity at all times even if you're indoors all day and that they're immune to skincare marketing, are being disingenuous. The fact that you see so many fat westerners who have skincare routines while largely neglecting themselves is proof, if they're concerned for health the best thing to do is to eat healthy and exercise.
Though I am veering into a different subject now, fat acceptance is also a product of marketing, it's easier to sell shit food to fat people because they eat more and have certain hormone imbalances, and to sell them products by making them feel bad about themselves, then sell them other products by making them think being fat is healthy

>>2066214White people weren't living in places like Australia and the southern regions of the US where there is far too much sun exposure for what they have evolved to handle. They have light skin for a reason, to better absorb the little sunlight there is a many European regions. People native to areas with intense sun usually are evolved for such an environment and have eumelanin that gives far greater of protection from the sun, hence why you never hear of South Asians or Africans dying of skin cancer.

The sunscreen propaganda is very retarded and even got to some of the nonnies. I feel like some of you just haven’t been following the conversation about it properly that’s why you don’t get the criticism. Nobody is saying sunscreen doesn’t protect you from skin cancer. We know it does and that it’s a necessity when spending hours outside in the sun. But nonnas you also need to stop being delusional because these people are NOT obsessing over sunscreen due to their health, it’s because of wrinkles. They’re scared of aging not of skin cancer.
These people claim you need to wear sunscreen every single day and reapply it every 2 hours. Fine, but just imagine how much that costs because those tiny 50ml sunscreen bottles are not cheap. They also insist you absolutely have to use it and reapply n regardless of your UV index. You can have an UV index of 0 and they’ll still claim not wearing sunscreen that day will destroy your skin kek. Even if you only go outside for 2 minutes to take out the trash, people will still insist you have to apply a bunch of sunscreen for those 2 minutes of sun exposure. I saw many even claim that you need to wear sunscreen and reapply it every 2 hours INDOORS as well and at NIGHT too because of the blue light from your phone kek. These people are mentally ill

Speaking of buying 30 at a time, is the Garfield movie the end of the obsession of buying heaps of someone's old vintage garfield collection? It just never sat right how multiple people all of a sudden have tons of dusty old vintage garfield that probably didn't a touch a single newspaper comic or comic book. A lot of people forgot anything made of Garf now is cash grab media for babies. These are the same people who think the garfield phones that washed up on shore is creepy and interesting when it's just a load of mass produced phones that never made it to retail warehouse. The memes are solely to blame for people thinking Garfield is the left wing mascot or a ticket to being alternative.

I feel like no matter how good a trend is philosophically, there will always be absolute idiots spoiling it. Same brand of retardation has existed in r/frugal for years. Also have seen influencers buying copious amounts of clothing from thrift stores but labelling it "underconsumption" because the clothes are being worn one more time before getting thrown in a landfill afterwards.

>>2105571Nta, but if you want to try perfumes you can go to a department store or perfume store and ask for samples. If you tell them you're young and can't afford much the right employee might even give you lots of free samples. You can also try emailing a perfume house (include your address) and say you saw a promo of their perfume and would like a complimentary sample. It might not always work but the staff usually read lots of complaints so usually they'll just be glad to make someone happy.
And as others have said, you should test them out and make sure you like them before investing in perfumes. See what your samples smell like 30 mins, 2 hours, a day after spraying. That way you'll know how long it lasts and if it consistently smells good on your body chemistry.

It'd still be rancid and, tbh, using up those specific bottles probably WOULD take her 50 years, because collectors have this weird need to buy a full size bottle of everything that catches their eye instead of trying the fragrance in store like a normal human being, and the perfumes in this pic will soon be buried behind a host of newer perfumes that she also doesn't use.

Some perfumes have similar notes but they just don't work on your skin, some have similar notes but smell completely different, which is why it's a good idea to test them in store first so you don't waste your money. You might also be able to get decants online for a fraction of the price. 7-10ml is the usual size for a purse spray, which normally sell for almost the same price as a 30ml bottle, so if you can get a cheaper 10ml decant from a trusted online seller you're saving a lot of money.
If you have issues with longevity try spraying the perfume over unscented lotion.
You could also look into hair perfumes, which tend to be a bit cheaper.

>>2109916Also the newer ones with lids in two parts tend to leak/not actually be airtight/gather rust inbetween the screw-on ring and the insert.
I do a lot of preserves each year and I never bought a jar. I still have some from my granny. A lot of them are from reusing stuff I already had. Sometimes you do have to buy jar lids still, because well, they warp or rust or stuff, so of course you throw them out.
I really liked a certain type of jam a few years ago and it was a nice thing that jam actually came in glasses with plastic lids. So I kept every glass and they look just like regular (albeit thicker walled and heavier) glasses and at every occasion with a lot of guests I pull these out and all of my relatives are basically drinking out of the same glass I acquired just by virtue of liking raspberry jam an unhealthy amount at a point in my life.
Also the jam glass with product inside cost like… about what a glass of that type in a dishware store would cost. So I got to indulge my sweet tooth and I have a bunch of sturdy glasses which I can use for basically forever now.
Sorry for jar autism.
In general - it's better to buy stuff in glass because most countries have a much better percent rate of glass recycled than that of plastic.

But every year it all gets uglier and tackier and lower quality for bigger prices.
At this point it's a struggle to find something that's aesthetic enough and will LAST longer than the month of october.
So it's a lose/lose anyway. People overshop on ugly shit they use for a month and people who like the aesthetic year round can't find anything that looks nice and is good quality.
At this point I just make most decor myself and only buy stuff like an occasional mug, plate or rug.

Why are murican women so obsessed with smelling like some bakery thing, it's always vanilla, coconut or chocolate. Before these videos started becoming a trend, it also never crossed my mind that I should only use products with the same type of disgustingly sweet scent for my entire body including hair, so that I stink extra intensively…
I have to admit that I have one of the japanese masks she also showed here because it does work really well, but shampoo or body wash is something you have to use so frequently in such high quantity and you just wash it down the drain anyway, so it's really useless to spend extra money on it just so that you have it from a japanese brand.
You also often hear that many americans are struggling badly, so why is having an a/c so common?

i don't get how china can get away with selling the most cheaply made crap at high prices like they have been doing in the past several years. the piece of junk you're seeing in pic related is going for almost TWENTY DOLLARS. hello???? that thing would fucking collapse if you put a hefty book on it. it will be malformed within a couple years time. not to mention it would cheapen the look of any space you're in. something that cost 50 cents to make, shouldn't cost more than a few dollars to buy. there are beautiful old IRON book stands with amazing designs out there that you can buy secondhand literally for almost the same price as this junk. you could, i can't, because the delivery price to my country is double what the actual item would cost. which angers me even more that i can't even turn to this made in china shit.

The thing is, they don't think they're giving you a walkthrough of their shopping addiction, because consoomers with that level of brainrot see 'buying a new kawiwi pink coffee machine to go with my sleek silver coffee machine and my beige coffee machine' and 'buying another new purse to match the impulse purchase coat I found online' as two completely separate things. They honestly don't understand that it's all part of the same shopping addiction. I feel for you with your Jojo friend, I have a consoomer friend who loves cutesy girly things and hoards tat to the point where she can't open the curtains, but EVERY TIME she gets a new job or has a mental breakdown she tosses all of it out, down to the last glitter gel pen, purchases a new business casual adjacent aesthetic from Tiktok or Instagram, and immediately tosses all of that the second she gets comfortable in her life, then goes back to the glittery pink dust trap she lived in before. For some reason she's always whining about being broke, can't think why.
I have another consoomer friend who went in the other direction and routinely gets rid of all her stuff because it's not minimalist enough. She purges her wardrobe like every other weekend because she never wears half her stuff, but she doesn't wear it because she keeps purging all her shit all the fucking time, she hasn't had the chance to wear her raincoat during a heatwave so off it goes, and now she's going to get rid of all her summer clothes because it's rainy. Fucking insane shit. She also gets rid of her furniture since you don't need that many chairs to sit on, apparently, so nobody comes over because we all have to stand awkwardly around her overpriced chairless table and eat off paper plates because she only has one set of crockery.

>>2138759Nona with OCD here.
Granted, I have a pretty big collection of dolls, clothes and art prints, but over the years I decided to keep only things that bring joy or whatever.
I have two quite big merch collections, which at a certain point became an obsession. For me, it's the completionism. When I used to play games more, I HAD to get every achievement. When I started collecting merch of a character I HAD to have the full collection of everything released. I would complete book sets I didn't actually enjoy just so that I'd have a full set and godforbid the publisher would change and the size/cover design would change and not look as good as a set.
Nowadays, I still have most of it, even though I donated a lot of clothes and still working on sorting through it. Gave away a ton of craft supplies too, sold off books and dolls and merch I wouldn't genuinely ever touch again.
I played with the idea of being a minimalist, because I've become envieronmentally conscious over the years, but being a genuine minimalist made me feel miserable.
I maintain a generally minimal aesthetic these days, 90% of my purchases are second-hand/overstock shops with 10% artist-made, save for shit like underwear or socks.
I find that while I genuinely enjoy having less unnecessary shit I will never use, I also enjoy keeping a curated collection confined to a single place. Like, One bookcase, one doll display, one itabag, one art print wall, that's it. If it goes above - reconsider and sell some shit.
While I genuinely downsized A LOT, it also helped me realize how poor quality mosted of what I owned was and also how to re-invest that money into things I genuinely enjoy. It's a hard balance to stick out with, liking cute shit and not drowning in it. I am, for example, slowly replacing some shitty clothes in my wardrobe for vintage better quality ones and so and so. I still own a lot of stuff, but keeping it in contaiment and setting limits is key for me. Like sure, I can buy a cute make-up bag for storing stuff, but I HAVE to also replace an older uglier one by either recycling or donating to charity.

>>2139010With the last point, samenona.
It's not that I'd donate a shitty beaten-up thing. Those I take apart and remake and recycle. But for example, I didn't have a particular aesthetic taste for years, so most of that I owned was random mismatch tuff. Someone can enjoy my poor buying decisions of Joker merch and space-themed pencil cases and the money goes to charity and recycling initiatives in the city, while I feel more joy being surrounded by things I personally enjoy.

It's got a short shelf life, IIRC it can last about a year or less before it turns into vanilla scented diarrhea. And no, this minor setback does not stop anyone from obsessively consooming the latest releases of mediocre body care items with the same recycled scents.
If anynonna here is struggling with hoarding crap, the subreddit is well worth a read. There are tons of regretful hoarders talking about how their candles are so shit nowadays that they literally explode, how their 50,000 body mists all expired and smell like ass so now they're display only, how their plug in scent things don't work and half of them leaked their juice all over the place before they were used. No matter what they collect, it's crap, and they band together to find ways to use their collections regardless- which is great, if you own it you might as well use it- but also use that to justify buying more shit. 'Well, if my candle erupted like Mt Vesuvius and almost killed me in a house fire, it's a great time to invest in a candle warmer and that means more candles!!!' no it means it's time to stop buying things that don't work and start reevaluating your priorities.

Sure, everyone goes a bit overboard during sales events, kids go crazy with their first paycheck, you might buy multiples of the same item if you have to travel for hours to get your hands on it, but even so, there's a difference between splashing out and hoarding. I always get whiplash when people post their birthday treats in those subs and it's all stuff that's already in their massive collections. How is it a treat if you already have 10 full untouched sets of it sitting on your shelves?

And this isn't a Lush exclusive thing but using normal soap to clean clothes is a terrible idea. Laundry detergents aren't soap, they're made to work with washing machines, normal soap will leave a disgusting residue on clothes.

They're thinly veiled attempts at getting compliments like "you're a sweet girly girl" or "you smell amazing" and they all get mad when they got comments like "you live near an Ulta or Sephora" and "you use TikTok." But there's literally nothing else to say because 9/10 of these collections are literally the same handful of extremely popular perfumes in TikTok and at least five other people at any given time have posted pictures of their almost identical collection also asking people to make assumptions about them off of perfumes that don't say anything about their personality other than they're easily influenced.

>>2160022i'm steadily getting rid of stuff. sorry for being a downer but i personally don't do it to feel happier, my dream was always to have a nice house full of ongoing craft projects and activities for guests, but i've accepted that neither me nor my family could ever afford one, and we all have to move very often, which is extremely annoying, so having a lot of nice things isn't practical. people are impressed with how neat and minimal my living space is, but it's just that i don't feel like decorating a place i don't own, or even unpacking all my boxes.
i think this is the main reason a lot of younger people are into minimalism, while people who own big properties can hoard anything they like without a care in the world.

The easiest is daily hygiene products, hardest has been clothes (although I'm selling them so that's been a nice incentive). Over the LC downtime I got into depotting makeup and that's been cool because you realize pretty quickly that a lot of new releases are the same shit you already have.

idk if off-topic but i'm fascinated by this type of "youtubers for girls" who make dozens upon dozens of the same anti-consoomerism slop videos repeating the same obvious points (consumption isn't identity, plastic bad, debt bad).
most of them are ex-shopping addicts and i can't help but wonder, had they been hot and charismatic, if they wouldn't love to be in the place of these influencers with the long nails and the amazon links.
since they can't they indulge in watching these tiktoks instead of making them, and repeating the consoom bad mantra, which provide them numerous advantages such as
>vicariously living through the influencers' lives and purchases by scrutinizing everything about them
>easy moral high ground without having to do anything
>easy way of feeling knowledgeable without having to read anything
>hijacking other instant gratification addict's impulsion to mindlessly binge all her anti-consoom content which means consuming the original influencer's content (consoomception with this one) aka easy views

No. 2162699
>>2162590>>2162606I skimmed through some of her videos and it looks like she picks apart specific trending items and talks about why they're not necessarily the best thing ever. It makes sense to have videos for different types of consoomers, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that one specific type of consoom is OK, like restock consoomers deciding that having an ice freezer is OK because we all need water to live.
Also, they seem to be pretty low effort videos and get a decent amount of views. If she makes this many videos about trendy items and brands one of them is bound to go viral at some point. Creators like her aren't just churning these out because of altruism lol.
I understand what you mean about these videos showing you even more stuff you didn't know you wanted, but the whole point of these popular items is that they DO look amazing and necessary on the surface. Except they're not. Do you really need another designer bag to boost your self esteem? No, you need to get off the internet and see a therapist. Do you really need an expensive trendy perfume to fix your life? No, you need to stop spending and get your shit together. It's a trap to make you think you're fixing your life with a simple shopping list, when all you're doing is hoarding crap and digging yourself into a financial hole that you might struggle to get out of. Consoomerism is basically an MLM with no compensation plan.
Personally I don't really care about de-influencing videos, I can de-influence myself by watching consoom compilations because they all look so grotty and sticky that it makes me feel a bit sick. Even the uwu luxurious minimalism consoom videos look like they smell of cheap stale room spray and have crumbs under the furniture.

>>2161762I honestly find her autism charming and it doesn't seem like it has completely taken over her life like the autists who get 1000 Miku items to cover every inch of the walls within a month of discovering vocaloid.
It's a stupid interest, but she seems aware enough and sends off the rest of the crayons. Plenty of people pay a shit ton of money for old used stamps, this ain't so bad.
I also can't help but wonder if these people who get big on tiktok would have been less bad if they weren't on tiktok and play it up for the views. I looked her up and she says "I briefly had a PO box open and got sent over 400 of them" and in the video posted here her total is 473 - meaning without tiktok she wouldn't even be over 100 crayons. This stunt has been super great for her as a brand and she knows it.

shawna's videos are repetitive and it seems like she's actively fighting shopping addiction tendencies and the videos are also to convince herself, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. she might be better off spending less time online in general and talking about stuff rather than activites, making your online brand talking about consumption does seem unhealthy.

He's just "everything is bad forever because I said so and NO, I am too smart and researched to provide any advice or solutions" and more research comes from the actual comments. And in almost every comment section there are people disproving his claims and offering more meaningful solutions.
Hell, Shelbizlee has been on my nerves for a while. Her every video is the rehash of the same things over and over, zero new information or suggestions.

The thumbnail is complete clickbait and the video contains no real detail on how climate change is pressuring arabica growers, i guess that would require actual research. And the rest of the video is basically an ad for mudwater. Where he reads off their marketing materials completely uncritically. He never questions the idea that coffee is unhealthy when consumed in normal doses, acts like "adaptogen" is anything else than a marketing term and keeps talking about the supposed healthy adaptogen buzz, while his own screenshots clearly show that mudwaters main ingredient is black tea… which has caffeine.

Like, do you actually KNOW the exact reason we have a coffee/chocolate shortage? Maybe bring up the change in climate and recent uptick in plant disease and also the favourites of talking points in all climate videos… the fucking bees??
The scooter video was just. Pointless. Because he spoke from a perspective of Canada and countries that use specific company scooters. Around where I live, scooters are very common and widely used, the main issue is assholes not knowing how to keep their fucking heads safe. What was even the point of that video, really. People who like scooters still use them. No damage done to the Future or something, really, since a lot of countries use those for quicker communal transport.
But what pissed me off was the water bottle vid. My guy. Water bottles still can leach BPA. A can contains so much less plastic than a bottle and aluminum is actually recycled much better in a lot of countries, if not most. So sure, you still have a bit of plastic, but much more of the package is recyclable AT ALL, and in case of aluminum, recyclable forever. There is still much smaller amount of plastic than using bottles, but he talks like cans are the cancer itself and should be abolished as well.

I was surprised to find out this creator you mention, as you just said, shes an ex shopping addict. I watched a few of her videos, they were pretty monotomous.
I will confess I do like watching haul/collection videos / restock videos for asthetic reasons but dont envy them but i'm also not pretending I have the moral high ground. One tiktok which was featured in Hayley's video iirc is of a woman who has a whole room of bath and body works and she was throwing a fit over it (not sure if genuine or just for the camera) and I was like, WHO CARES?!
I think your comments here certainly apply to Hayley (pic related) the part about feeling morally superior (she really doesnt hide that fact) I dont think she's envious though. The creator you feature-I got the feeling from her videos that her addiction made her depressed and thats why shes decided to go down this route, I dont get the feeling that given the choice she would want to be an influencer.
I wanted to add in regards to video quality I feel this way about a lot of anti-mlm channels. I'm fascinated by mlms and how they work and the drama but the channels that are dedicated to them(and theres quite a few)-all the creators are SO BORING and monotomous. The only good/interesting anti-mlm videos have been by people who are mixed topics channels and they have a real documentary feel to them.
