But Black Friday has become synonymous with impulsive buying — and many businesses capitalize on that rush. So, we’re closing our shop today.
For those of you who’ve been with us for a while, this may not come as a surprise. What used to be a day of frenzied shopping has evolved into an entire season of sales. Our decision to create Slowvember was born out of protest against the high-pressure tactics of Black Friday.
This month, we’ve focused on advocating for a more considered approach to promotions because we believe in offering quality, value and time to make decisions that are right for you.
With that in mind, we invite you to embrace a different kind of regimen—one that prioritizes intentionality over impulse. Here are 10 simple steps to guide you toward mindful purchasing during this season, so you can make choices that align with your true needs and values.
- Cleanse with Intention Filter all the promotional marketing and clarify your essential shopping list.
- Unclog Your Cart Items left in your e-cart can turn into email reminders. Unclog if needed.
- Check the Tone If there’s an asterisk, there’s more to know. Always check the fine print.
- Evaluate the Essentials Not everything on sale is the best deal. Assess appropriately.
- Apply Discretion If it wasn’t suitable for you at full price, it may not be suitable when discounted.
- Unmask the Price Prices can fluctuate during the shopping season. Track intentionally.
- Future-Proof It Protect yourself from buyer’s remorse. Always read the return policy first.
- Consider Value Along with price savings, the best purchase is one that will be loved and used.
- Keep an Eye on the Total Extra costs and fees can add up. Always double-check the numbers.
- Overnight Not Overspend Always regret with a simple rule. When in doubt, sleep on it.
While our shop is closed today, we encourage you to explore ways to deepen your skincare knowledge and refine your routine. Whether you’re learning how to build a regimen, understanding the nuances of layering skincare, or starting your journey with our beginner’s guide, now is the perfect time to invest in yourself.
We’ll see you tomorrow, refreshed and ready to help you choose what’s truly right for you.
