anti-haul // "summer essentials" you shouldn't buy

[@maddalena2529]

I have a pair of Gap flip flops that are 22 years old 😱 I myself don't even know how it's possible but I bought them when I was 25 and I'm now 47! I use them every summer and I think it prouves that plastic can last forever. In this case it's a pretty good thing because I dind't buy any other summer flip flops for 22 years but it's maybe an exception. I also don't understand all this psychosis for summer or other season's products since everything we have in our houses is so versatile... I mean a bag is a bag! 🤷‍♀😉

[@chelseashurmantine8153]

I too have had the same flip flops since I was probably 15? I’m 30 now. They really can last forever and ever

[@KarolYuuki]

As a Brazilian person it's so weird to see flip flops being considered disposable and not usable. I use flip flops every day around the house, to go somewhere near (do groceries,etc), to go to the beach, to take a shower, and mine usually lasts a couple of years. The one I have right now I have been using every day for the last 3 years, so I think that they are quite durable. Of course in places where it makes actual cold you can't use them year round, but that would just probably extend their lifetime, no?

[@DracoTriste]

Your flip-flops are built different. I was given a pair of Brazilian flip flops as a gift. As an American, that was a weird thing to receive as a gift, because our flip flops fall apart after one summer if you’re lucky so it’s not really a “gift” type of item. Those Brazilian flip flops lasted me SEVEN YEARS of very regular, year round wearing. American flip flops are basically disposable, so the Brazilian ones blew my mind. I miss them.

[@ninimacs2244]

yes! I have a pair of flip flops i've had since i was 13 years old and i'm now 26 and still wear them every summer all summer long

[@louisejensen3249]

Can you recommend a brand that will last?? I basically live in flip flops, but the combination of salt water (spending a lot of time on boats) and everyday wear in very hot weather, kills even "namebrand" flip flops :(

[@KarolYuuki]

@@louisejensen3249 honestly I use whatever brand, but I think Havaianas has the most durable ones (or at least it used to)

[@annalena8576]

I love my puma or esprit Flip Flops, they lastet at least 3-4 years while beeing worn everyday up to 10 km a day

[@lauracanna2201]

I partially disagree with the flip flops in a sense that I bought a few Ipanema 13-14 years ago and I still have them and use them but they are good quality flip flops 😊

[@theuniquerina]

A tip! A good beach bag is a god totbag/canvasbag. The one you use at the store. If its get sand in it or get wet its easy to clean. 🥳

[@TheVerdantSorcerer]

I'm also adding plastic summery home wares like wine glasses, and dinner sets to the anti-haul. I walked through Home Sense the other day and there was an entire aisle of plastic dinner sets and fancy wine goblets in about ten different colours, being advertised as garden party dinner ware. It was absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary.

[@samanthabartlett4562]

As for the trendy pastels, I bought a lavender colored cotton children's sheet from the thrift store for 3$ and turned it into a skirt and absolutely adore it and will wear it long after pastels are no longer cool 😊

[@app9]

5:04 I didn't know that the term "fast sun glasses" is used outside of Finland. 😅 We call them "nopeet lasit." Although for us the meaning doesn't come from the shades being sporty fast, but more from those types of shades being used by drug users (especially amfetamine, which is often called "spiidi" as in speed. The drug makes ones eyes really sensitive to the light, so the user needs to use some sort of shades.) One reason for the name "nopeet" is also that drug users steal a lot of bikes, and you need to be fast, as in "nopee" to do that. There's probably even more stuff behind this name, this is just from the top of my head. I love the etymology of street slang, it's such a wonderfully weird world. The overall "nopee aesthetic" is quite wild, and it's been coming back in fashion. Tribals, flame everything, loose hoodies, that late 90´s street style. Right now you can't always be sure whether the style is being rocked as a necessity or as a zoomer fashion statement. 😂 You're welcome, I guess... 🤐

[@studioansitru]

While I hear you on the acrylic cups... I did recently buy acrylic bowls for use at home. With chronic pain, I'm prone to dropping items whenever I have a cramp or shooting pain in my hands, and it felt more sustainable to use acrylic bowls (that don't shatter when dropped) than to continuously buy ceramic bowls whenever I'd inevitably drop another one. If you have a sustainable alternative, I'd genuinely love to know, though! :D

[@sustainfem]

What about aluminum or stainless steel? They will get dents if you drop them but can still be used. Or how about wood?

[@louiseerbslisbjerg7854]

I've considered it for the same reason.

[@tamaraking8259]

I’d be inclined to go with the metal ones from the camping stores or the wheatgrass/compressed bamboo ones. Acrylic can still shatter if you drop it.

[@tiffaniesadowski7376]

Cocoa nut bowls and you can make them at home to! I work on them as side projects!

[@2222bearbear]

Things like beach bags that are more for fun are the perfect things to make yourself if you’re a crafter! Sometimes if I can’t justify buying something but I think it would be fun and cute I add it to my crochet list instead

[@aetmaarja1]

Beach bag... For as long as I can remember my parents have had this floral sportbag that is only used for the beach. Nothing else. If our things couldn't fit in it - something got left behind. If we needed the bag for some other trip and not to the beach - too bad. The bag with flowers was off limit. So yeah. You don't need a special bag for the beach. Any bag could do. But if you're planning to have a designated beach bag - make sure it lasts a good 35+ years.

[@aubreevanderwoude8530]

As a mother of two young girls, here is my buzzkill of a list of summer kids items I am anti-hauling: water balloons, little plastic bubbles containers (buy them once, make the solution homemade and refill them. We've used the same bubble wands for years), little cheap summer water toys (little plastic squirt guns from the dollar store that break after 1 use), NEW water shoes and goggles...thrift stores are full of them, did I say water balloons? Yeah, my girls know I hate them and they aren't allowed on our property. 😅

[@sophiaazevedo4013]

There are reusable versions of water balloons - usually knitted yarn that you soak in water - if your girls want to have a sustainable water balloon fight. But I agree, they’re not super necessary. Just run through a sprinkler if you want to get wet

[@kaiajasmine]

I have a pair of extremely 'ugly' sandals that I bought over 10 years ago - still going strong and I've used them every summer since I was a teenager. Similarly, my Kleen Kanteen steel pint cup (with a lid that you can sip from or use a reusable straw in) has come with me to festivals, gigs, and even theme parks - holding cider, iced coffee, and slushies for 8 years! Making what we already have last, and buying sustainably when we need to replace things saves so much money and waste.

[@AthynVixen]

LOVE that you get to use your pint cup. I bought a UK made one specifically to use in places where plastic cups are given out but in the UK I cannot find a single place that will actually let you use them even though there is no way I am trying to con people out of extra amounts as both pint and half pints are clearly marked and incorporated in the design

[@kaiajasmine]

​@@AthynVixenI've definitely been turned down plenty of times with my pint cup - I usually just say 'thanks, but I won't have anything then' if they won't take my reusable - if anything it might make the company reconsider if enough people would rather go without than use disposables! I'm also careful to make sure it's really clean and dry to avoid the risk of them refusing due to sanitary reasons.

[@emilylarson1603]

I also think a more sustainable alternative to disposable film cameras would be to buy a secondhand film point and shoot. If the point is to be trendy and aesthethic then yeah, definitely just edit thr photos on your phone, but if by some chance the point is instead discovering a new art medium in film photography - it is not difficult to find a second hand reusable film camera.

[@doratarnai476]

I can’t agree with the beach bag thing, because if you go to the sea, the salty water and salty air can destroy the things you bring. So personally I prefer to go there with a bag that is not too expensive or essential in my everyday life. That way I can keep longer the bags that I care more about. I have to say I have the same beach bag since high school. 😀 Of course I see your point 🙃

[@sunflower211]

yes i live near the ocean and have a dedicated beach bag + blanket. the sand gets everywhere. it's easier to keep the sandy stuff in there to grab for next time (versus washing it every time) 😅

[@marinaionel]

The protective coating of sunglasses only lasts about 2 years as it degrades with time and sun exposure. So buying second-hand sunglasses for outdoor use is a very bad idea.

[@rikkemeek1506]

Not to kill your buzz but the 80's and 90's are vintage😄 My son dropped his stainless steel water bottle and it broke on the bottom. One of the teachers from his school soldered it back together and it works just fine again👍 When i got married in 1999 we didn't have a photografer but we put disposable cameras on all the tables. The pictures where so much more fun because they weren't "Staged" by a pro.

[@chrisc3571]

Luckily, today you can just tell everyone to send you whatever photos they take on their phones.

[@emilynordt153]

Just make sure with solder it is lead free, it seems like most of the stuff at the hardware store was but just something to check

[@melanie_meanders]

great points, especially for people who aren’t already practicing sustainable habits. i respectfully disagree with the mending of sheer fabric- visible mending is something i love and we shouldn’t be perpetuating the idea you can’t mend things if it’s not invisible.

[@lauramuse5618]

I have unfollowed so many creators because of how much they consume and get for PR. Something about opening 45 boxes of PR is an “ick” for me . The moment I hear that Barbie song I skip the video completely. Keep doing that you do. Love you from WY, USA ❤

[@CiaraHilton]

Same. I hate when I see people do shein hauls on tiktok. And the comments that support it. Sickening.

[@neta565]

I have a pair of Reef Brazil flipflops that I've had for about twenty years , wearing around the house every day, in the warmer months. They are still holding up well😊

[@heathermalmal9943]

Papershoot actually has a non-disposable camera that is relatively affordable and can take the “aesthetic pictures” like the disposable camera. It also uses rechargeable batteries, comes in cardboard upcycled packaging and you can take off the “case” (which is also I think recylclable) and change out the color of the actual camera. I have one and they are actually pretty cool and very lightweight. 13:58

[@pheart2381]

Last wore flip-flops 48 years ago. Hated them.

[@Blue-pb7kz]

I don't particularly want to defend sheer clothing, but it is réparable! You just have to make it a visible repair. Sew up the hole, and embroider something on top to hide it, for example. I've repaired mesh items this way. Plus embroidery on sheer fabric looks cool imo. It does take a bit more effort than other types of repair, maybe less than swiss darning but more than a patch. Still worth it :) I also learned recently that I had a family member way way back who fixed runs/holes in nylon stockings as part of her job as some kind of seamstress! So even the most impossible sounding fix was actually once done.

[@melanie_meanders]

thank you!!!! can’t believe there aren’t more people saying this too.

[@eleonora_f]

Hello! I'm on board on everything except the plastic flip flops: I have 2 pairs of flip flops that I've been using for years (surely over a decade) in gym changing rooms, in hotels or apartments during the holidays and even on the beach, and they are still perfect :)

[@zyx2942]

6:35 I purchased my plastic (clear) re-usable bubble tea cup instead of glass (bonus purchased from a local business) and has been using it almost every day for half a year (mostly for water) until I accidentally dropped it and broke it. I think as long as you vigorously use it for a very long time that it evens out the footprint used to create it I think it's still justifiable. :) Keep up the great work!

[@thechroniclesofkweencoth]

I would do the same especially if it’s a cute plastic one that i can reuse until it breaks cause of my clumsiness. (Dropping a glass one once means it shatters immediately 😂) But also would use it for gigs and festivals cause all of the gigs i went to either a) let you bring in ur stainless steel bottle / tumbler but without any water in it and you’ll have to ask a bar staff for filling it up (not always easy when they’re serving long queues) or b) not let you bring it into the gig itself and you’ll have to leave it in the cloakroom. I don’t know how it works in denmark, but this is common for most uk gigs and festivals. 🥹 even for the small gigs

I love my sheer clothing. I wear stuff like that almost daily in my dark academia looks. Most are second hand, some were new. And when one of my blouses got ripps I ripped it into stripes and made myself a boho belt for loose dresses. I am still worried about microplatic issue though :c

[@BridgeOfLifeStudio]

Totally agree on everything. That said, I am someone who loves to wear lavender and have loved it for years. So I am very much enjoying that being very available right now 😜

Mica is also in paint for vehicles. Tristage paint jobs.

[@AthynVixen]

Great point about the multiple use theory. At first I didn't buy masks as I felt they would soon become waste. Instead i bought a selection of second hand bandanas from Ebay in black and a selection of colours. Now I have several I can use as scarves, accessories, hair accessories, napkins, foodwraps,hankies etc etc etc for many years to come.

Hello Gittemarry thank you for this video❤a great advice for clothes it is also finding out which colors we like the most or suit us and also the combinations of them that works and "commit" to only use and buy that colors so if the others go on trend you have already decided which colors really fit you and the ones that dont and then you can remember easily and you won't buy colors that don't match with what you already have

[@laurennightshade]

I must admit I have had my haviana flip flops (aka thongs where I live in Australia) for very many years. I disinfect them and they are good to go for many years. Yes plastic but where I live very much an essential if you buy quality.

[@anghogan826]

Summer “essentials” that are just plain wasteful are all the beach and backyard toys. Beach balls, water balloons, plastic sand buckets and shovels, etc. also, the beach towels that are everywhere!

[@shaunnarochelle]

i wont be buying a drinkbottle with a complex sippy/straw lid (theres usually a spring involved) they always break evenutally. i will just stick to stainless steel waterbottles with a simple stainless steel lid/ stopper for the rest of my life

[@nicolelongoni]

I have myself many of the things that are listed in your video, the fact is, I use them like forever 😂 for example, a big beach bag (in pink!) was gifted to me about 6/7 years ago, it’s made of cotton mostly, and I literally only have that and I use it all summer. Also my flip flops which I bought many years ago are still perfect and I use them all summer (not just to the lake/sea but also to walk around the house).

[@Alice-ru6lb]

Surprise sheer dresses are the worst! Maybe you could buy a slipdress/underdress? I have one in my skin tone and it's a lifesaver for light colored/thin dresses. I also find it helps wash the dress less often because it provides a layer between it and your skin that absorbs some of the sweat!

I have one counterargument to the beach bag: sand, its coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. That being said, I also think you coild just pick a bag you already have and just designate that the beach bag to be forever full of sand.

I'm not sure the enviromental creds of crocs are but they are way better on the ergonomic side and when we visit family on the coast with sharp stoney beaches and I would reccomend these instead of the flipflops and they are year round wear. On the sunglasses point, I think there's policy in there to make sure they actually take away UV from the eyes. Do actual retro glasses have this quality? how could the ordinary person test that?

On disposable cameras, I have never understood the hype? Why does the camera have to be there only for 25 pictures. Why not buy a second hand point and shoot filmcamera?

I disagree a little bit on the merch part. Yes, the amount of Brabie merch is ridiculous and no way there should be that much of it, but merch itself I don't find a bad thing espeially for band merch. Nowadays when people don't buy music in physical form anymore, bands get their revenue basically from live shows and merch. I like to support my favourite bands by buying merch from the shows I attend and then I wear the merch until it basically falls apart. Merch is the only clothes I buy new, I try to buy everything else second hand. Also I found out this summer when selling my clothes in a thrift store, I was able to sell all the pieces of bands' merch I wanted to.
