It's not an "ethical" purchase if you DON'T TRULY NEED IT! (traps of sustainable, secondhand, etc)

0:00 happy Monday!
0:16 still in the 1812 cello choir for 4th of July week
0:25 following people who "preach what you want to practice"
0:43 I've said it before - but I thought I was being smart!
0:58 why is this area of content such a danger?
1:52 it feeds into the trap of the "perfect" piece
2:58 and provides an "ethical" way to keep a shopping obsession thriving
3:25 this content still features tons of "stuff"
3:52 so I'm always suspicious of full time influencers
5:10 for people who like shopping, resisting is HARD
5:58 it's the trap of supporting an influencer too
6:58 reacting to my "things I was influenced to buy"
8:49 these were NOT "wise" purchases
8:57 some examples, good and bad
11:10 if you're prone to buying, be careful
