The holidays can be stressful, financially draining and exhausting. 

Capitalism and irresponsible consumerism pop off this time of year, especially on social media. Our social media feeds are bombarded with advertisements and influencers peddling all kinds of products we don’t need. 

Join Alyssa and Dakota as they provide tips and tricks on how to be a smart consumer this holiday season by quieting the noise and spending responsibly. They also provide some of their best gift ideas for last-minute shoppers.
