Summer Project Plan - Reduce and Save
Consumerism seems to be an overwhelming aspect in the past year or so for me which leaves me with more things then I need and a exasperating cluttered environment. This consumerism is partly due to the desire to have things , boredom and the genius marketing of beauty products from You Tube. I still enjoy watching beauty videos on YouTube yet it seems to me like less and less people are making generic how-to video and more video are being made to review or haul the new must haves. Reviews are great and are definitely a useful tool when trying to make the right choice but the issue I have with reviews are that a large majority of reviews are bought or bias because the Youtuber wants to believe the product is great yet within a couple of months its off their radar or they suddenly realized they did not actually like it. For me the solution is to avoid reviews and haul videos all together and when Youtubers show looks using palettes I do not have I look up dupes that I might have in my collection.At this point I want to make an effort using things I own which does not mean I do not have things I want to purchase in the future but I want to make room for the new and allow myself time to think about if I really want the product.
To make room for new things and use up products before they get expired I plan on doing a Project Pan experiment. Project Pan refers to someone selecting products to use up in a certain time period and not purchasing new products in that time period until they use a product up.For this experiment I am also going to put a monetary value in association to when I finish a product that can be used to buy new products. This Project Pan does not put a ban on buying necessities like shampoo or deodorant. So the breakdown for this project pan:
