      -I quit buying sarees
      -I don't apply anything to my face other than soap (for functions I do)
      -I don't buy watches or bags
      -Stopped buying Artificial jewels & make up things
      -Clothes expenses reduced to 50%
      Totally I don't spend much on anything like other women..
      But I eat outside food more.. dats my bad habit.. I spend too much on that.. should make firm mind and reduce that too

    Out of the 10 things listed by you, the only thing I still use is Shampoo & Conditioners, all the other things I too have stopped using since long barring sugar which I stopped using from this month. Your first video which I saw was on 108 Surya Namaskars and I must say that I am hooked on to your videos now.

  • @nandinitiwari425
    @nandinitiwari425 3 роки тому +17

    Barring shampoo, cream, sugar and block heels I have never bought anything else. And yes I wear very loose clothes for comfort though people say I'm wearing tents but I'm ok with that as I'm cool and comfortable. Also I've started doing 100 Surya namaskar twice a week, inspired by u

    Last watch i bought was almost a decade ago and have received 3 in gift so far :) But I do wear my watches.
    No nail polish for more than 2 years now.
    No waxing strips for me..go to parlour, contemplating laser may be sometime in future.
    Restricted use of white sugar just twice a week for my husband.
    Never uncomfortable shoes for me..never.
    I repurpose and re use all my clothes, Don't mind repeating (Don't care aunty kya kahengi) 😆
    Coconut oil is my go to moisturizer.
    I am not a minimalist but yeah I am not an impulsive buyer and think that if i really NEED it before buying.

    Heels are the most useless devices actually. It restricts your movement, slows you down and affects your back over a period of time. Here in India we have really pretty looking flats and mojdis that are much better to wear.

  • @kirthikakirthi2237
    @kirthikakirthi2237 3 роки тому +6

    not just me, even in home they stopped using
    1. normal salt and rock salt instead. 2. similarly no sugar, but jaggery and jaggery powder.
    3. No more using non stick tawas, oven etc.
    4. country chicken and county eggs instead of broiler chickens/brown eggs/white eggs. (Country eggs will be brown in colour and small in size, don't get fooled with brown eggs mentioned as country eggs)

    I actually connect on the jewellery thing... I also can't wear jewellery on daily bases.. so now I have started investing in jewellery.. and no... Gold jewellery is not a huge investment because if you liquidate it you don't get what you invested.. so silver is my way to go... And invest in gold bonds. I never liked watches and Phone does the job.. but did invest in a smart watch and find it a better investment.
