It is.

Frightening is a really good word for it, actually.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know.

I guess I'm still definitely susceptible to marketing, to ads.

I'm imagining that you're probably a bit more of a...

i was gonna say a strong pillar in the ground no but you kind of do have to be like quite like yeah you know like a bit like no yeah no i won't buy that because you you kind of have to have like your phone away your wallet away don't look you know it feels sometimes like don't look don't look yeah how do you block the noise out actually there are quite a few things i do for this but lowest hanging fruit unsubscribe from all shopping marketing emails and delete the shopping apps from my phone i don't have any shopping apps on my phone i don't even have vinted on my phone

The other thing I do is, and I only started this at the beginning of this year, in December, I felt this like need for things, which I don't often feel, but I've certainly felt it in the past.

And I was like, right, how am I going to satisfy this feeling without like going and having to buy all these things that I think I want?

And then I started this thing called a rich girl wishlist, which is basically I give myself, I let myself choose four things in the quarter that I want to buy.

And I kind of make sure that they align to that authentic code.

And then I just focus in on those four things that I'm going to buy.

Something that brings me comfort, simplicity, beauty, or freedom.

And by focusing on those things, I implicitly don't buy anything else.

Like I really wanted to get the Westman Atelier blush.

So that was on my wish list.

And then...

it was really helpful because it meant that like anytime any other like makeup was marketed to me, I was like, well, that's not for me.

Cause I'm not looking for that at the moment.

I'm looking for the West minute.
