... Read moreLately, I've been reflecting on the growing trend of using acrylic containers for organizing skincare products. While they do create a clean and visually appealing look, I can't help but wonder if this focus on transparency and uniformity is more about aesthetics than actual functionality. From my own experience, having a neat and organized skincare shelf feels satisfying, but it can also lead to acquiring more products simply to fill space and maintain that ‘perfect’ look seen online. This movement ties deeply into consumerism, where feeling the need to showcase an immaculate skincare collection can sometimes pressure us to purchase unnecessary items. It’s interesting to see that what began as a practical way to keep things tidy has evolved into a symbol of lifestyle and status for social media followers. In balancing practicality and presentation, I encourage others to evaluate their personal skincare organization critically. Is the choice of containers enhancing your routine or creating more clutter? It's inspiring to adopt minimalism and only keep products that truly benefit your skin, rather than succumbing to trends that may encourage overconsumption. This mindset has helped me reduce waste and focus on meaningful self-care instead of mere appearances.

A hand holds a stack of four translucent, cube-shaped Needoh squishy toys in blue and pink, with the question 'Where do yall find ur needohs??' overlaid. Sparkle graphics and arrows are also visible.
Text on a light blue background explains that Needohs are sold out in stores because kids and influencers buy them all, urging others to leave some for others.
An anime character is shown with the overlaid question 'ARE THEY WORTH THE HYPE? OR IS IT JUST A TREND?' against a pink, floral background.
Where do yall find ur needohs??

A collection of numerous Sol de Janeiro beauty products, including body creams, mists, and shower gels, in various colorful bottles and jars. Two yellow quilted pouches and a pink container from the brand are also present, arranged on a gray surface next to a laptop.
Is a Collection or Over consumption?
I love this brand not only for its fragrances, but the packaging seems pretty and aesthetic to me, so even though some products are finished, I can't throw them away. I try to reuse them. But is it too much? #overconsumption #soldejaneiro #collection #lemon8creator #influencedpurchase

lastswab review
last swab is (according to the website) the first reusable cotton swab ever! I tried it out and so far I really like it! OVERALL RATING: 4/5🌟 WORKS REALLY WELL, TOOK SOME GETTING USED TO 🫧 WHY TRY IT? - cotton swabs are NOT actually recommended for cleaning ear wax, as the cotton can build up
