#7: Products I’m Not Going to Buy & Why

Episode 7: Time to Anti-Haul: Telling You the (Mostly Eco/Beauty) Products I’m Not Going to Buy & Why

Anti-haul videos gained popularity on YouTube several years ago vis-à-vis Kimberly Clark (“what I’m not gonna buy!”). They are a useful, important, and entertaining antidote to “haul” videos where bloggers/youtubers showcase all the beauty products they just spent money on, or were sent to them. The beauty industry/capitalism thrives on making us feel like we need the latest and greatest from their collections, limited edition releases, or updated and novel formulas. Well, sometimes we don’t! I haven’t done an anti-haul video in far too long, so we’re trying it today as a podcast. I’m discussing mostly eco/beauty products, a few lifestyle things, and even a couple of redactions from past anti-hauls (things change!).
