Never Again, A List
Ten things I bought on the reviews, regretted, and now you know too.
I started keeping a buy-once list a while ago, mostly because I was just so exhausted by the internet. You watch a review for something that promises to fix your life, you finally hit purchase, it arrives, and it’s completely disappointing. Or it breaks in the first six months.
That exhaustion was channeled into starting The Cabinista. I wanted a place where you can open an email and know that I have overthought & spent hours researching everything before it ever hits your inbox. I’m not promising to always get it right; I’ve been wrong plenty of times, but I do promise to put actual time behind what I share.
Being this intentional means slower growth. But I believe that building an honest, well-researched archive is the only thing that’s actually worth our time right now.
So, I spent the last week auditing the house, my closet, and my bank statements. I put together a list of ten things I am never buying again. It’s a breakdown of the mainstream “luxury” items that are basically engineered to break, and the aesthetic traps I unfortunately fell for, so you don’t have to.
This one is paid because I want to give my 100% unfiltered, honest opinions without holding back, but also because I don’t love putting negativity out into the world. P.S. I’m only talking about giant corporations here, not small businesses.
