@@geziellnash5776 she uses a menstrual cup, as do a lot of other women. It's a lot healthier for your body and for the planet! (And your wallet!)
Thank you for the list 🤗
Thank you!
Lost me at ‘modest clothing’ 😂
I feel like there is a lot of negative comments on this video and I don't understand it. Calm down people! This is just what works for her and her family! She listed 50! FIFTY! things. There are going to be a few you don't agree with. No need to be so hateful.
Justine Snyder, Exactly!!
Justine Snyder hahaha thank you 🤪
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Everyone is different. Just like her. There are no negative comments.
She is great but half these items are items she never bought anyways or doesn't like so how is it 50 items she cut out of her life to save money 🤔🤔🤔
alcohol is the biggest one for me. used to buy like 3-4 tall boys at $3 each, everyday. i am now 3 weeks completely sober and 6 months drug free 😸👍🏻
are you still sober? i’m trying to sober up but it’s hard
Im one year sober and it was HARD. But so worth it. Im saving so much money and feel a lot better
I just disagree about the books.
There are libraries
@@antiringlo509 yes, in my house. 😉
Anti Ringlo So true! In just a month I save around $500 on having a library card instead of buying books. Most people who spend money on books would benefit from getting hold of a library card. Plus most libraries will take book suggestions if their catalogue doesn’t have the book you’re looking for.
It also makes it much more special to treat yourself to some books on your birthday when you don’t buy them here and there throughout the year.
I buy most of my books at local charity shops, you can pick them up for around £1 or £2 each. Once I've read them I then give them to people I know who would enjoy them or donate them back to the charity shop. I love that cycle and knowing the little money I do spend on them goes back to a good cause.
I love the feeling of a new book to sit down and read at home so I have no time limit! But everyone has different interests so i guess it just depends if you enjoy them enough 🤗
I guess it also kind of depends on what brings you joy in your life. For me .. art on the wall, and going to the movies are like my favorite things lol. But it’s good to evaluate our lives to see where we can simplify!
Mackenzie ASMR I’m with you! I went to art school and love having art on the walls. And even though I’m a mom and I hardly ever get to go anywhere I love going to the movies (even though I usually only do that like once a year at this point, but it is special when it happens).
I agree with both of you. We were given three beautiful prints at our wedding by a local artist, super special. “No to lotion” is a perfect example of lifestyle being a driving force in your purchases I have eczema and coconut oil just hasn’t been enough. My needs don’t match everyone’s life style.
I love eclectic wall art
Remember she's not saying this is for every one, just for her and as inspiration. I too love Spotify. I pay $144 a year and have unlimited music that three people use. No fuss. No cds. No ads because I hate the noise and influence of ads. But it doesn't work for Delilah and that's cool too.
$144 for music?! Then again...I pay $119 for music a year..sigh
For us books and dvds are non negotiable. I like having hard, hold in your hands copies of stuff. Internet is finicky at best. You can always read a book without any electricity. Dvds are great for when internet goes out and we have a sick kid at home. I do buy candles, again, our electricity goes out often, I do buy unscented now, I can't do the heavily scented ones either. I don't like bright colors either for the most part. Clearance is great for me since we are a family of 9. We do need a good thrift store in town. Totally agree with not buying anything that won't have a home at home. I'm not crazy about knicknacks either. I hate throw pillows. I like using wreaths for season decor. Can't stand battery operated toys. I recently quit buying plastic containers either.
I love reading paper books too! I don't buy them though. I go to my high school and local library weekly and check a bunch of books to read for the week! I can find pretty much any book I would want to read and if I don't I can recommend that they buy the book and they will. Honestly, the library is the best option for getting paper books that doesn't cost money or create waste!
We stopped buying fast food too a while back. It was SO hard at first, but definitely a good choice. We didn't realize how much we were spending on fast food! It's crazy 🙊. Thanks for the video!
You must just be naturally blessed with good skin haha can’t believe you don’t do skincare 🤣
Alyssa Faith good point
I don't do skincare either and everyone loves my skin!
Skincare is a big industry now, most of the products are not needed and actually end up causing more skin issues by using too many or too much.
yes, some of us werent born with natural good skin. eventhough my skincare is a bit expensive but its a price im glad to pay, because my skin is way better than before (which before I used natural ingredient DIY and cheap skincare)
Must be nice to not have to buy skin care🙄
As an English Major at University, books are my life. I collect antique books in addition to modern ones as well. How can someone live without books?
there's books online now.
Borrow from the library
I haven't finished a book in almost 5 years. The reason why? Even though I love reading books, I just can't find the time anymore because of working as... wait for it... a researcher. Yes, shocking right. Instead of books, my soft library is now filled with academic journals. I feel like I found reading less relaxing now that all I do for work, which basically means around the clock 8 am to 5pm or much later, is reading. I've bought new books that I havent even opened and it just gathers dust in the shelves. So sadly, I am with Delilah on this one.
You’re literally GLOWING Delilah! Amazing video as always 💕
I think these sorts of things are very relative. I agree with most of these, but plants books and music are immensely important to me. They bring me so much joy and happiness when I come home and can just relax. I just think these sorts of things are relative because you always wants things that truly bring joy into your home and life. If you don’t have joyful things in your home, it will feel empty and sad (learned this the hard way)
Oh my gosh, no books, no flowers, no skincare, no candles, no plants,. How would I recharge after the day? Lol 😩
money apparently lol
Inasse Almechatt haha, they can keep my cents for the good things in life 👌🏻🌿
@@ashtonadairsummers4316 hey, i always say if it makes you happy and doesnt harm anyone else or yourself.. go for it :)
You can borrow books from library, also a lot of people just give their plants out for free, because they’re moving or just doesn’t want that plant anymore
I honestly felt this way about most of these things....20 YEARS AGO LOL! I think this is very realistic for such a young couple. Some things will change as they get older. But for now, this is excellent!
I’d love to see an update in 10 years.
Even in 2
Me too especially with the skincare
What up with the hate in this thread?
love the new care for the environment! love to see mums (and everyone in general) care about our earth :) love you Delilah!
Agree on some of those things but... not reading? Not listening to music? Not watching a movie that isn’t on Netflix??? I couldn’t live like that😂
Lotte
123movies
Popcorn time
Amazon prime
Watch series
@@OldSoulModLife what about paying the artists and creatives? what about supporting the arts, since we enjoy them so much?
Estrella Alonso I’m just offering places to watch shows. You can still support whoever you want however you want to
@@OldSoulModLife you support creatives by using the platforms, by paying for their content.
I was painting my nails right when she said nail polish is a waste of money lol
😂😂😂
same 😂😂
Just go on and paint your nails. It's fun. Plus, it really doesn't take 1 hour! Treat yourself 💕
@@isabellep.1598 More like a minute. And the cheap nail polish has gotten so much better. I buy essence nail polish for 2.50 and it dries in 2 minutes (if you're only using one coat)
I would make one exception to the "no duplicates" rule. Shoes. If you find your perfect pair of shoes, the comfortable, repairable, lasting kind... wait a few months and buy another pair on sale. Because by the time you wear that first pair out, I promise you, they will no longer be available anywhere. I bought my perfect pair of work flats back in 2005. Pair 1 is still going strong, having had many different soles, but the upper is starting to wear through, which isn't repairable. For the next 15 years, I'll wear pair 2... and pair 3 will see me through to my hopeful retirement. For the space of two shoeboxes in the bottom of my closet, I have my perfect shoes for my entire working life, and never have to worry about it again.
Shoes can be tricky though. After pregnancy my feet don't fit to any pair I've got, so now I have to buy everything again😥
I disagree on the decorations for the holidays. You buy it all once then use the same decor for years and years. Can be a fun activity to decorate every year with your kids and create memories
Yes!!! So agree!
What a good way to start a Friday!! Love you and your beautiful family!! Thank you for all that you do!! ♥️
Delilah: ...in order to save money, to live better-
Me: WALMART
We love ALDI and the clearance rack at Target or JCP for clothes. We only shop for clothes we need though.
@@MrsWill-wd3mb the Samantha girl is referencing the WalMart motto which is "Save money, live better" lol
@@hattie.waltermire Oh. 😅 Clearly I don't watch cable either.
@@rosalyngummer6587 I just figured that's where their slogan is played primarily.
@@rosalyngummer6587 I mostly watch Netflix and I don't get Wal-Mart ads on UA-cam. That's a good point though. :-)
It’s so refreshing to see a real life person who happens to be a UA-camr not being such a consumer and wasteful. Every single video I watch on UA-cam now always has ads of products to buy and it always makes me feel like I don’t have enough stuff when in fact I already have a lot. You made me realize a lot of things are actually really not necessary! I totally relate, If you need a book go to the library, dvds are never used and just take up space and excessive makeup is just a huge waste of money! You made me feel so much better about this stuff than others who just put it in my face to want more and more. But I still need to listen to some of your tips like candles and soap containers.. candles really do smell artificial I need to switch to essential oils and it would be a big save if we just bought soap in bulk and reusable bottles instead of going to baths n body works:) etc
I used to shop at this store a lot called Charlotte Russe and I got so many great deals from their clearance section because it was a lot more affordable than the newer things. Some of the clothes I still have and can wear today!
Loved this video. SO much yes. Two of my favorites are...
Herbs. They're so expensive in the store and you barely use them all before they go bad. Instead I grow them in my garden. I harvest as needed during summer and in the fall before the snow falls I harvest the rest and dry it for the rest of the year.
Also broths / stocks. You already have paid for the carrot skins and tops, the ends of celery and skins of onion. If you eat chicken then you have chicken bones and caucuses. Save them in the freezer and once your large bag is full boil on the stove with water and you'll have many liters to freeze for future use.
I need to implement that grocery tip, that's probably my biggest money pit. Great tip! Good job being so money-wise at such a young age
The clearance rack or old navy’s biannual clearance get me EVERY TIME!!! You’re so right! I need to retrain my mind for sure
Totally agree! Now I only go to clearance racks with certain items in mind. If those aren't there than I'm not buying anything.
I love that you share so much with us. I definitely changed my food containers to glass when I found out that it’s bad to microwave in them because they have chemicals that are bad and melt into the food. You are doing so good. We all learn and change with time. 👍
I have been binge watching all of your videos for the past month. I literally rewatch the same ones over and over and over again 😂 I loveeeee the videos when you cook in front of the camera and create a meal. I love those! ❤️
Lol, i do that as well. My favourites are the goofy Eloise ones and her cooking videos. She used to do a lot more cooking videos earlier which i really really miss.
Love all of this except moistures & lotions. You may not think you need it but in the future you will regret it so much when your body & facial skin are not looking the way it should. Y
Your body is a gift from God & it’s should be taken care of
simply chanttel I think she mentioned she uses coconut oil. So shes not neglecting her skin..
DV O oh ok, must’ve missed that. I was cleaning the kitchen while listening lol
I don’t have a skincare routine and my skin is clear. Also, I don’t really care if I’m 40 and my skin doesn’t look like I’m 20. People age. It’s okay to accept that
She might use things to moisturize her skin that's not lotion
your hair, your outfit, your attitude, you look so great delilah
Aw thank you 😘
Jalynn Newell agree! Loving the orange and brown
I've been changing my shopping habits lately too! There are so many things that we can do in our everyday lives to help the environment. However I love, love, love having books because I like the feel and smell of them :) but if I can I'll buy them used. Love watching your videos, Delilah!
Yes yes yes! I love your honesty in this video, we all need to see how we are wasting our money, resources, and time.
Yaaaasss! I haven’t painted my nails in 4 years and it is amazing how much I love having one less thing to worry about. ❤️
Thanks for this! My husband and I have been trying to cut back on things we buy to save money. We always end up buying more than what's on our grocery list.
your nail polish will last so much longer if you get a really good top coat! Mine lasts like 2 weeks without chips when I paint at home
And I disagree with the books
They are most IMPORTANT THINGS IN MY LIFE
How often do you re-read your books? Just borrow from the library.
Not to everyone, please respect her opinion.
Absolutely love your look today! I'm a 22 year old woman too from England and you inspire me so much ❤️ your style, your home, your ways of life, you're wonderful ❤️ xx
Love the idea of making sure something has a place in your home before buying it, need to try that! We love wall art, but all of it has been made by myself or are pictures of the family too. This was a really helpful video!
About the shoes: that’s great that you’re buying good quality shoes. But if you’re ever experiencing foot pain, make sure to wear some nice supportive sneakers over flats. They support the arch in your foot and reduce foot pain! Just a tip (for anyone actually haha)
Good idea... cermet!!
Blue41e haha, thanks! 🤣
I love this video !!! I am so guilty of writing a grocery list and coming out with more than I was suppose too 😳.. lol
This is why I love doing grocery pickup! No temptation!!
Notification gang ♥️ thanks for sharing these helpful tips with us!
I'm totally in love with this list.
I didn't realize what all I had cut out spending wise in the last few years.
We have a local store that is a second hand and surplus books store so hubby and I buy books for CHEAP, and I have an Audible subscription. We both use our libraries cards a lot and our local library system even has an audio book app for free.
I buy plants every year for my herb garden but I use them in my cooking and they work out to be less expensive by the end of the season.
We have such different life styles. I love pop !! I love makeup and skin care is so important to me !! I get my hair done 💁♀️ ever month. Its so interesting how other people live
Bottom line:
She.love.water
Love how much you're starting to talk about the environment. Just makes me love your channel even more
Hair color ...Plants.. books..skin care... Can't relate 😂
Haleigh Cleveland ahaha
Same. It's self care for Me.
Such a good list!! Some other things we don't buy are microwavable meals, diapers (we use cloth and it should save us soo much money!), cleaning products (I've gotten along fine with just baking soda, vinegar, and castile soap), and greeting cards (I make them from scrap paper and old cards).
This is an interesting list! My husband and I also don’t do the ‘cheap’ coffee. There is a local coffee shop + produce stand that we treat ourselves too occasionally, it’s such a treat! We do budget fast food into our monthly budget so it makes that a treat too, we tend to save fast food for family fun nights where we go out get our dinner and then take the kiddos to a park or something.
Good for you Delilah! I pretty much agree and follow everything on this list already! Especially the modest clothing thing!
Your hat looks like the pumpernickel bread in the chex mix bag
I’m so inspired to do another de littering and stop purchasing so many more things. I already share a lot of these no-buys with you but you’ve opened up my eyes to so many more!
I fully understand you opinion on formula, before I had my daughter I thought it was so strange mother's giving their baby's formula as apposed to breast milk, as their is so meany pros with breast milk, but one week after having my daughter I completely dryed up and had to resort to fomula, so I now understand that for some mom's formula is not a choice, but in the day and age I am so greatfull to have the choice. Loved this video and am guilty of alote of these points 😅 xxx
I agree. I think it's the assumption perpetuated in culture that you need to have formula. It's lessened over time but there are still some that try to discourage women from thinking their breast milk CAN be enough.
Not everyone has the work schedule, lifestyle, patience, personality, or even the physical ability to breastfeed. This push to breastfeed to the point of shaming mothers for using formula is plain ridiculous. As someone who struggled terribly with bf, I always appreciate bf women who don't cop a holier than thou attitude about it.
Brea McClymont yeah to me it’s always worth a shot(unless you’re super unhealthy yourself, I do believe you need to put effort into your diet so your milk can be more nutritious) but like for example my mom decided she didn’t wanna breastfeed. Plus his milk didn’t come in until I was 4 days old. She tried wrapping them but it hurt so bad and it was time for me to eat so she gave in a nursed me a few times but it still wasn’t enough and then I was formula fed
Gaganpreet Kaur yesss exactly! Like I said, I’m not judging anyone for using it. We just don’t need to :)
@@gkaur1522 Definitely misread your comment. My bad. I agree.
Love this list! We do all pictures on our walls except for things that were given to us. We got a painting from my grandparents and it is so special after we bought our first house.
So glad I’m watching this! I need to change my spending lifestyle very much to help save money and want to do it young! Thank you for this and some inspiration! Also the homemade baby food sounds awesome to try!
We love spotify. Its necessary for me. Especially since I get a student price and I get hulu and showtime with it.
me too. we use spotify all day everyday. White noise machine: check, No screen time for the baby music instead: check, Podcasts as background noise: check, daily news briefings: check. Can't imagine not having it on.
Is Hulu still available for students buying Spotify?
Delilah, congrats on 150k!!!! 😍
You just gained another subscriber!! Love this video! SO excited you popped up in my suggested list!! 😄
ALSO if you don't have one uploaded yet, could you do a video on the toys you use for your kiddos and why? I definitely agree that plastic flashy toys are no bueno, but I don't so much know how to explain it to somebody else!
I love videos like this!
Have you stopped buying dryer sheets? I bought myself some dryer balls awhile ago and they are amazing!
I've been wanting to do this! Do you use the wool or plastic balls? I have half a box of sheets left and then want to switch
Sarah D the wool balls! Mine came with essential oil to add to the balls, they make the laundry smell so good. I got mine from Saje, if you have that store where you live.. lol
I’ve been wanting to make that switch!
You can get them on Amazon for a great deal. They are definitely worth it!
I’ve been thinking about buying them but I was afraid they wouldn’t work. Thanks for the comment. I going to give them a try
Great ideas..will definitely be thinking of this when shopping..ive been dipping my toes in lowering my foot print....thanks
I so appreciate you sharing about modest clothing. That’s something I’ve been wanting to do recently and you’ve given me the courage to do so!
Love this! We have been trying to stop get soda, stop buying soda for the house, and stop getting things brand new and thrifting as well! You've actually been a huge inspiration for thrifting and I love seeing all your thrift hauls and seeing your finds. Thanks for this video! I love it!
I don't find a point in buying excessive kitchen equipment honestly. My husband and I have been gifted so many things which we are grateful for, but we never use and just don't have the space in our small home. Our pasta maker, crepe maker, rotisserie oven, Keurig (we French press now), kitchen aid mixer, flour sifter, huge fryer, etc. These were all things that were given to us and that others spent so much money on, that we just don't need!
i found some of these useful and i think i can implement this into my life, thank you for sharing what works for you and allowing us to take something from it :)
Great tips!!! I follow soo many of these and yes saves tons!! Tip for reuseable containers instead of buying new reuse store jars just take off the label and pop in the dishwasher... bam free container and it’s even better for the environment cuz it doesn’t have to be recycled!!!
I love this! Ditto on sooo many of these (almost all of it). Especially the mani's and pedi's thing, it also scares me to sit with a stranger for such a long time while they're touching my hands or feet. 😂
We're all different. Different things are important to different people. When my kids were at home there was no way I could afford many of these things anyway. Its about thinking about how you use your money and all your resources wisely in ways that nurture you, those around you and your world. Spending less and making more inspires me. Sending love to you all xx
fantastic suggestions! Ive been saying this to my Partner about lotto tickets! Also, I have been buying 1 glass container every time I shop to try and build up a good collection. im sick of waisting money on plastic that breaks.
I like these types of videos because it does help me rethink things that I buy.
This is a great concept!it brought some things to my own mind that I waste time and money on.
In regards to candles, I always at least have a few in case if power outage/winter chaos. Does your region have less risk of this or do you guys have a generator?
Candles, skincare, books, plants..can't go without..they just make me happy!
Educating children in contact with art, widens their horizons and build the imagination. What I remember most from my family home and childhood were the books and art albums that I watched for hours and wall paintings that I stared at and built my own story. Also vinyls (Im much older then you) with fairy tales and my parents' music. It had a huge impact on my development. Now I am a mother of 2 boys and we have lots of books, paintings and lots and lots of music at home every day from morning to evening. But that's my experience and opinion.
If you watch her newer videos she is trying to find art and plants and skincare. It’s kinda interesting to see how things changed over a year
@@Lizandjinx I'm very happy for this!
@ LoeppkysLife excellent video. I happily made my own cloth pads and bought a few menstrual cups I never looked back. I now smile when I go to the store and see the prices of disposable pads and tampons.
We are very similar with clothing and accessories! I never wear jewelry, and I wear the same 2-3 pairs of shoes all year round. Simple is the way to go! Loved this video. I've become very much aware of my consumption recently and aim to cut back in all categories.
Please do a minimalist wardrobe video! Tips and guidance needed!
Going through and watching your older videos, and I really needed this! I think in the next month I’m going to try to switch out my soap dispensers for a reusable container and bulk soap, and I am also going to start using my diffusers more, and stop buying candles. I also switched to cloth diaper ring within the last couple of weeks and it’s been amazing already. It’s shocking how much money we spend without even thinking about it
During this quarantine I’ve literally only painted my nails once... it makes you really evaluate what you need/want to spend your time on.
Also a great hack: only buy a base and top coat and use acrylic paint to make custom colours! Saves so much $$ and space
"Having to go for an appointment every few weeks and being an introvert ....." yes ! Totally me !! The idea of looking great with eye lash extensions is what could motivate me but...meeting new people in the saloon every couple of weeks...this is not worth it.
Antique jewelry is so so dainty and delicate and I love it.
Do you keep battery-operated candles in the house for when you lose electricity due to storms and black-outs or do you have your own generator? Your skeletal system needs a properly made and fitted shoe with good arch support and protective soles. A great list. Many of them I do as well, so agree.
Would love to see a video on how you meal plan!
Love this!!!!!! Great tips!
Recently found your channel and I love it ♥️
We pretty much follow your list... with the addition of disposable diapers. We cloth diaper and it’s great!
I love your simplicity♥️
When you said pop I was so confused. But then I realized you were talking about soda
Wow! Never thought I'd find someone so similar to me... i just kept nodding to almost every item on your list!
Yeeeessssss!!!! I love this video so much!!!
Dear Delilah, as a literature student, hearing you say that books are a waste of money made me so sad :/ books are culture Delilah, 10 pages a day does not take a lot of time and it helps relax, it means some alone time and make you learn so much stuff! You should honestly try and find the time to read a couple pages a week xxxxx
You can even buy them second hand!
I wish I could!
Libraries exist
She said she didn’t sent have time to read but she would love to if she had the time. I agree buying books is a waste of money because the books I own, I read them once, most of the time and then they just sit on the shelf. I love reading but unless you are going to reread the book over and over, I think it’s a huge waste of money to purchase.
@@strom51 But somebody took hundreds of hours to write them! And the book industry is struggling already, so the really good stuff that's a bit more challenging to read that a popular fantasy novel might not be published if people don't buy it. Where I live, a movie ticket (even the small arthouse places) is as much as a book. Yet I've never heard anyone use the same argument for the movies ("waste of money").
Also "no time to read" is often just "not up for it" by another name. That's completely fine, don't get me wrong. It's just that anybody who wants to has those few minutes before bed when they could read if they wanted to...
What do you mean you don't buy lotion? What do you put on your body? Only coconut oil?
do you have a link to the reusable kpods you own? i’ve seen so many reviews where people say the ones they bought on amazon don’t work 😔
Scams
-water bottles (use tap)
-pads and tampons (use menstrual cup or period panties)
-toilet paper (use a bidet)
-engagement rings (I just hate rings and they're overpriced anyway.)
-subscriptions (piracy isn't that bad, I'm sure disney will survive with its billionaire monopoly)
-dish washers. I swear to god, I cannot put into words my hatred for dish washers. They don't even clean the dishes good. I can wash the dishes better than it and it saves so much time.
Wow, I wrote this before I watched the video. This girl actually got most of these. Nice to see someone else recognizes those scams.
What do you do with your newborn when you’re a stay at home working mom!?? I super struggle in this area!
It’s funny, I am at a very different stage in my life (student - single - living alone) but I still could benefit from this video! On Monday I am going to make A LOT of changes (Sunday’s are for family haha). But that’s when you know you make good content when everyone can benefit! Well done Delilah
So good to know I am not the only one! Besides books that I love and coffee that I don’t drink! We are pretty similar. 💖 God bless your heart.
Yep, I’m with you, the thought of sitting there to have some stranger touch my feet and hands makes me uncomfortable, plus the smell of chemicals in those places just really turns me off. Hair dyes n the other hand I started when my hair started turning gray. I found one kind that I really like, and I’ve been using for about 15 years now. I buy the kit and do it myself though. Takes about 30 minutes. I. Just not ready to let my hair go dark gray, because I do feel like it’ll really age me. Candles..... I absolutely love my early mornings, with my coffee, and candles lit through our living room. I try to get unscented or lightly scented ones, and for Christmas this year, and my day, my daughter will make me very lightly scented candles. It’s kinda her thing 😊. I save all my small glass jars for her and it’s my favorite way to reuse those thrifting clothes is a huge money saver, but I’m guessing a lot of what you get is still not ethically made. I’ve been doing research, trying to find ethically made things, and so much of it, specially clothing, is crazy expensive. I’ve stopped buying shampoos, liquid body soaps/ shower gels. I found ethically made( meaning not tested on any animals) and locally made bars of soap,packaged in a small cardboard box. I use it for my hair and body, and even instead of shaving cream. One bar does it all, zero plastics involved. I never go to movie theaters, for the same reasons you talked about here.
Wow thanks for introducing the reusable k-cup pods!!!!
I pretty much agree and already kinda do almost everything you mentioned. My husband loves books so he still buys those and I get them for him as gifts since they make him so happy. Luckily, he rereads books so it's not a complete waste. We also have this one brunch place we absolutely love near us so we splurge on breakfast every once in a while but besides that, we're pretty similar to your lifestyle
How do you clean your face at the end of the day? I would love to remove skincare from my life but not sure where to start! Stumbled across you yesterday, excited to make my way through your fab content ❤️
So true about the coffees I dont drink them but my husband does. It would be awesome to just make from home cuz yes sometimes it doesnt turn out at a fast food place
Inspiring video! I also don't buy pens. I have bought one fountain pen that is made from a good quality and buy refills for that. I do a lot of writing and journalling. I get so much joy out it, while using the pen.
