before you purchase another lip gloss, another guitar, another top from depop, another item from an influencer's amazon storefront or tik tok shop, leave the item in your cart and think about the purchase. Do you have a lip gloss basically the same colour? Do you already own a black top that can serve a similar function? Do you really NEED it? Just reflect on it for 1 day or even a week or a month. Overconsumption is so easy when you don't even give yourself time to think. That is what businesses try to do with sales, limited releases, and especially black friday. So if something is running out or you've waited for months to own something, then get it! But the important thing here is to just, think.
