If your TikTok feed is anything like Alyssa’s, it’s full of viral products that look amazing but probably aren’t worth your money. In this video, our favorite de-influencer shares some of the most hyped items they’ve seen lately and sharing why they personally won’t be buying them.
This isn’t about guilt or shame. It’s about taking a step back, being intentional about what we bring into our lives, and considering how our choices impact both our budgets and the planet. If you’re trying to be more mindful with your spending or feel overwhelmed by all the “must-haves,” I hope this video feels like a breath of fresh air.
Looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle? We recommend the Green Living Tracker—a 100% customizable Notion template. It’s full of tools Alyssa has used to help her along her anti-consumption journey—including a ‘thrift whish list,’ ‘reflection prompts,’ and monthly pages with customized educational materials.
Note: This is not an affiliate link. Rebellious nor it’s affiliates earn commissions from your purchase. We sharing because we love the tracker and Alyssa!
