204 | My 5 Biggest Takeaways from the 'Buy Now!' Netflix Documentary and How I'm Implementing Them in 2025

I’ve been inspired into action by documentaries like Food Inc. and The Social Dilemma before, but never has one felt so relevant to my work than the recent Netflix release, Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy. If you haven’t seen it yet, this film is not just about apparel. It also covers the tricks that brands use to get us to buy more electronics, plastics, and so on, and the impact this has on our lives and the world at large.   But the point of this episode is not to give you a guilt trip! Instead, I want to share my 5 biggest takeaways from the documentary along with simple ways I’m implementing more changes in 2025. You’re already here because you want to buy less and shop smarter, so let’s talk about how we can do even better, together, in the year ahead.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE BLOG: https://herstylellc.com/blog HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ REGISTER FOR THE FREE BOOTCAMP: https://herstylellc.com/bootcamp   Related Episodes: 195 – Fabrics 101: How to Test Quality and Know Which Materials Will Stand the Test of Time 140 – Stop Impulse Shopping from Instagram Swipe Up Links Using These 5 Strategies 134 – 5 Tips to Ease Your Way Into Sustainable Shopping with Anita Thomas 102 – My 2024 Style Challenge For You
