Have you heard about this new viral trend amongst tweens and teens where they blow out the Sephora stores and then do GRWM (get ready with me) or haul videos on social media? Why are we promoting this as a society? How did we get here? Let's talk about it.

I dive into the eye-opening world of social media trends and their impact on the younger generation, the viral phenomenon of "get ready with me" videos and I question the influence they have on our precious time and personal growth.

I talk about the concerning trend of tweens and teens splurging on expensive beauty products and athleisure wear. Listen as I shed light on the societal pressures faced by the alpha generation.  

Press play, Freedom Fighters!
