There’s a trend on TikTok around mindful spending, anti-retail therapy. 

I love them, but something doesn’t sit quite right for me. I actually LOVE supporting companies, trying new products, and buying stuff.

Q: what are other ways to explore trends, support companies, try products without over-spending?

Yeah def not an easy Q I am realising! Let me check her out and come back here 😇

wait i don’t consume any tiktoks (just create them lol), say more!

will need to think about this before i have good ideas. i think trends are a product of social networks, so sharing what you love from a brand socially is always waste free.

natalie borton on IG strikes this balance really well imo.

I love the idea of 'waste free' and hadn't heard of it in that sense. I agree that consumption often is a way to validate an idea or us liking something. So why not just share it. Thanks for this 😍

I also think sharing the things you like and possibly want to try is good waste free support!! 

As for the mindful spending and getting things you liked I think buying secondhand is one of the best ways! / trading as well! Lucky Sweater is an amazing app/business that’s all about mindful and slow shopping!
