    Btw influencers should never be a factor in deciding what you want. Period

  • @sirshauniv511 says:

    Why people outsource their shopping habits to influencers, I will never know.

  • @freshfreshfreshfresh says:

    👏🏼

  • @haleighen says:

    Car restocking videos make me feel crazy. Like… just keep the things you use a ton or are super helpful. I keep floss, gum, and hair ties in my car. That’s it.

    • @EKL-qu7ih says:

      What is car restocking? Never heard of it.

    • @CardiniPanini says:

      ​@@EKL-qu7ih basically a trend on tiktok where they put a bunch of junk in their car and fill it to the brim every once in a while

    • @silvercookies says:

      @@EKL-qu7ih its listed in the video. i didn’t know either until I watched. basically, restocking with “essential” things to keep the car organized/clean or things you might need while in your car and then being linked to an Amazon page to buy all the stuff in the video.

    • @gigilee8599 says:

      YES. Is your car a grocery store? Why does it need restocking???

  • @berlineczka says:

    The list and actually video starts at 2:57

  • @iTzDritte says:

    Are there always such loud whooshing sound effects on this channel? I found them disruptive.

  • @johnguzmandiaz says:

    Those worried about getting wrinkles by drinking from their straw, be worried about kissing then and stop doing it to also help for your wrinkles 😂 /s

  • @sharaineroberts8537 says:

    I once worked in a supermarket, and at closing, we had to return all items to the shelves and restock. So when I heard about the restocking videos, all I could think was WHY!!!

  • @Luumus says:

    There are far too many whooshing sounds on this video, I think it does become distracting to be honest…

    • @keeradavis6832 says:

      I was wondering if anyone else could hear them, it’s pretty bad in my headphones. and as someone who gets migraines, it’s not the mist pleasant

    • @miasmith5468 says:

      Came here to say the same thing!

    • @noahjaybee says:

      Huh, I’m usually very sensitive to noises and I didn’t hear anything unusual. I’m listening on phone speakers though and might just be in a particulate range that’s is not very good on these speakers but I’d hear on headphones 🤷🏼

    • @kittyreincat says:

      YESSSS!!!! it’s driving me crazy and it’s difficult to even watch

    • @teacakesjanie says:

      I counted 4 in 18 seconds before I got lost😵‍💫 🤣

  • @iamkid_a says:

    ok but the air wrap changed my and my partner’s life simply because we didn’t have a good blow dryer already but i loveee using it as a blow dryer and curler 😭 but i bought it refurb 💕

  • @playsomething4029 says:

    Outstanding video Holly

  • @laurenhazen8021 says:

    I love how you talk about not consuming, and then throwing an ad in our face😂

    • @lexiisreading9486 says:

      This is what I noticed on all under/anti consumption videos and it drives me insane 😂 I totally get that making videos is very time and skill intensive and creators deserve to be paid and sponsorships are the main way to make good money. I totally get it. At the same time, I absolutely can not stand listening to people trying to “deinfluence” us in the same exact breath as telling us we don’t need to purchase things lolol

  • @NoraTKD says:

    Greenwashing seems to be still going strong in many places but at least a lot of them are being called out!

  • @viviennewolf9181 says:

    I wonder if TFD could make a beauty playlist; with all their videos talking about beauty or aesthetic lifestyle in one place😊❤

  • @lightanddarklove says:

    Maybe if I had been 10 years younger when the Stanleys were popular I would have wanted one, but in my 30s, I am fine with my dollar store water bottles (plural because I like to have about 3 in the fridge so I can always have a cold drink ready to go when I’m going out for the day).

    i definitely do have a lot of stuff in my car, but it’s things like an emergency kit with jumper cables and fluids, some extra clothes and toiletries in case I’m ever stuck somewhere, the spare tire and my shopping bags so I don’t have to pat for paper/ plastic ones. Those things are all stuffed in the trunk, with the front seat not having a lot of clutter and the back will usually have my weekly/bi-weekly recycling stash before I take it to the grocery store.

  • @psiioveyou2931 says:

    I’m guilty! Over consumption 😢thank you for your video. Very educational for the people! 👍

  • @jenniferwells2291 says:

    Is there a way to invest with something like Betterment if you are on Disability and state assistance?

  • @isamu_h.1878 says:

    I don’t get the Stanley cup hysteria. This thing is huge to carry around, the shape is weird and it is just a cup. Why would you buy multiple of those? They take so much space I just don’t understand it.

    • @muoian says:

      Stanley cups are firmly part of car culture . People aren’t walking around with them for hikes or even walks

  • @evw0220 says:

    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 is there any study about consumption after seeing the same ad over and over again? 😅 I feel like I see the same ads over and over again, it’s annoying but would that “make/convince ppl to buy”?!

  • @jeanniedanford says:

    So glad I don’t watch the Tik Tok or the IG. Bad enough on the Youtube :).
