**HUGE DISCLAIMER **
I don't actually mean YOU or Me specifically think this way or act this way.
I mean in general this is how they want us to think and this the underlying message behind some of their tactics. I used alot of hypothetical scenarios that are just to make a point.
These DO NOT apply to all people and you may not have these struggles! I don't personally struggle with everything I discuss but I do struggle with some things so I'm just trying to bring light to it. To help me or anyone else who may want it.
I do not mean to bring anyone down for their choices or tastes. You live your best life! I just want to make better choices for myself and not be manipulated by marketing. Like if you are a minimalist you don't need EVERYTHING targeted towards minimalist or you would no longer be one. So I'm working towards having better discernment. Okay bye.

Thankfully the older I get the less I care about being "in fashion". When I was young I totally bought into this. Once I reached my 40's, I slowly stopped caring about trying to keep up with the most recent trends. I am still susceptible to scarcity marketing. I have found myself making impulsive purchases just because I was worried about losing the chance.

@CarmenScentrix 6 ай бұрын

The scarcity one gets me too! That's how I ended up buying Valentino Pink PP but I'm getting rid of if before even smelling it. Same thing has happened with fashion thankfully because I was always aware of the trends and always trying to be ahead of others. It wasn't even a conscious thing, I just liked being different. Now with micro trends and fast fashion it's no even possible to keep up much less be ahead so I'm out completely!

To me that moment of epiphany came as I was trying to build a basic wardrobe of elegant classic pieces (chocolate brown boots) and I noticed Fendi had gorgeous chuc tennis shoes and my brain said: wait, but there will be another massive effort at bringing new even prettier tennis in 2 or 3 weeks when Fendi produces more (and more!)... what I had known all my life emerged as a clear thought. I am a victim of marketing but only if I buy, only if I allow it.

I’m so glad you’re doing these videos. Since before Christmas I’ve been in this spend mode, the I deserve it cuz I work hard mentality. I guess I was justifying it more because of the time of year but I’m having trouble cutting that way of thinking off now. This is so helpful! Thanks for making me think about it more deeply. ❤

Another fabulous video!!👏👏👏👌❤️Relatable & also to various degrees how I find myself being influenced to buy (I don’t necessarily care if something I wear/use is out of style, but will bring in a new style if I have need for it)- but, with the help of these devious marketing tactics becoming more familiar & transparent (mostly retrospectively thru my own lessons (regrets) in buying) & hence becoming better able to seeing thru them, along with your/this upload & Kimberly Clark’s (whom I thank you so much for referring us all to!) I feel so much better armed to ‘defend’ myself against the onslaught of marketing!⚔️💪🤗

CARMEN! OMG! You hit 2K subscribers! Congratulations! 😍👏💕 This video was such a great breakdown, especially the experiment example. We really are the experimental lab animals. These people that work for companies in the marketing department have taken plenty of psychology classes to understand how the human mind works and what it responds to in what way. Most don’t have defenses against that. I was laughing a bit at the Dyson example because that’s so true! You can see who has an “outdated” Dyson. Lucky for me I think the new one is ugly. I prefer older colors. I think they used to release limited edition holiday colors; some of those were really pretty.

@CarmenScentrix 6 ай бұрын

Thank you Demi!! Yes girl!! You get it!! Exactly, these marketing experts are targeting us! The dyson thing I see happening all the time. Same thing just new color. I don't think I would ever buy it because of the price tag. I am not that invested in my hair 😒 as you can tell by how bad it usually looks in my videos.😅

In my opinion, I can buy the Fendi tennis, yes and it is okay; however, it should satisfy me enough that I do not need to keep admiring new Fendi or any other tennis shoes. That is a challenge because we are in a sea of 'you need because you like and you deserve to'

@CarmenScentrix 6 ай бұрын

Exactly! Yes we do deserve nice things when we want them for good reasons. Some of these companies do not deserve our money even if we can afford it.

We are intelligent women: we would not allow anyone to walk on our rights or emotions, same thing with Marketing. We can be aware of not allowing the abuse by adhering to a plan. Even if we have enough income to buy anything, we should not. Objects are really not happiness (but sometimes they help because of their beauty :) You ladies know what I try to say. Okay. Off to work! Ciao! Good day to everyone 🎉

Carmen! Buenos días! Right at this moment, I realized that day when ai was walking past Fendi and DG on my way to and from exchanging a pair of chocolate 🍫 brown tall 👢 what struck me was that I was able to identify I was being sold to via windows in boutiques. Remember I made a comment? That was the first time in my life it was clear to me. I always knew about advertising, but the absurdity was like an epiphany!!!! Super great conversation and will take a look at Kimberly's conversations. Gracias, Carmen.

@@almatoledo1608 I was the same before and when I did my No Buy Beauty year in 2021 it reset my mindset on that. I've been only buying a replacement when I get close to the end of the current one. I do extensive (probably unnecessary) research for the next item. I only want the best one! No need to have 2nd and 3rd best too. I do have a lot of categories though! Recently got into cleansing oil and I like it! I love serums and chemical exfoliates! I love the idea of masks but I never wear them! So I've had to cut back on that a lot! I get only singles or samples because I tend to forget to wear them. You should tell me your favorites! Do you have Instagram?
