Learn what triggered my shift from fast fashion and mindless spending to a more thoughtful, values-driven approach to shopping.

Not too long ago, I was just like many others—hooked on late-night online shopping, chasing every trend, and believing more was better.

But something changed. A global crisis forced us all to slow down. I looked at my overflowing closet and still felt like I had nothing to wear. That moment became my wake-up call.

Starting My Conscious Consumption Journey:

It didn’t happen overnight. But the more I read, the more I realized how our daily purchases directly impact the planet, people, and future generations.

So, I started small:

Why I Created Where to Find (W.T.F)

At Where to Find, we help people like you navigate the noise of advertising, greenwashing, and trend-chasing by curating products, practices, and ideas that align with ethical values and environmental consciousness.

Whether you’re just starting out or already on your mindful living journey, W.T.F. is your space to explore:

The Psychology of Overconsumption:

Most of us are victims of clever marketing. Brands use neuroscience and behavioral tricks to push us toward impulse buying:

  1. Scarcity Principle: Limited-time offers create a FOMO
  2. Social Proof: Seeing others endorse products increases our likelihood of purchasing.
  3. Emotional Appeals: Advertisements tap into our emotions, linking products to happiness or success.
  4. Anchoring Effect: Displaying a higher-priced item first makes subsequent items seem more affordable.
  5. Personalization: Targeted ads based on browsing history make products feel tailor-made for us.

But the good news? Awareness is power. When you start understanding the why behind your purchases, you regain control.

From Mindless to Mindful:

I’m not here to tell you to stop shopping altogether. Instead, I invite you to shop with intention. Every purchase is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.

Let’s Build a Conscious Community:

If you’re tired of overconsumption and want a more mindful way to shop, you’re not alone. Join me and thousands of others on this journey to:
