• I fit into the Aspirer group because I really care about fashion and keeping up with the latest trends on social media. I like saving up for cool trainers and well-known brands.
• Part of me is a Reformer because I care a lot about climate change and animal rights. I try to recycle and avoid buying things with lots of plastic packaging.

Their lifestyle revolves around social media and keeping up with popular culture, so they spend their money on trendy clothes and beauty products featured in the magazine.
