#permanentlowbuy
Hi Andrea! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and very much enjoy seeing what you bought/want ever month. I’ve been trying to be more mindfull and intentional of my purchases and am very inspired by how in tune you are with how you feel towards consumption. I hope you strike a good balance between consuming what gives you joy and being intentional with what you buy ❤️ I think you have amazing taste and love your videos
aw thank u so so much! honestly it makes me feel so much better that other people can relate, it can be so hard finding a balance sometimes❤️
I've been watching your low buy updates pretty much from the beggining. I've always enjoyed hearing your thoughts about purchases and I do really adore your tastes. You have also inspired me to be more thoughtful about my own purchases.
That being said I will support whatever decision you make moving forward and wish you best of luck
thank u so much that’s so lovely to hear! i’m gonna continue on at least for now and just try to focus more on becoming more sustainable and making thoughtful purchases instead of trying to limit myself a lot because apparently i respond very poorly to that😂 hope u have a lovely day💕
For more defined curls, finger-curl your hair while it’s damp. The larger the sections: the bigger the curls. Then you can separate them when it’s dry.
Think of the low-buy process as developing guidelines that work for you rather than setting up rules and judging yourself for how well you follow them.
Interesting video!
As someone who was in a similar situation as you seem to be in this video (low income, some money in my savings, and wanting stuff still), what you explained sent a red flag in my head. "Taking money in my savings account for things that I want" has never been a good decision for me. The money in my savings account is for the things I NEED. If I have a low income, it means that I can't spend whatever I want. A lot of things are above my means. What you said in your video where you decided on a budget was very straightforward to me, you realised that you were living above your income level and needed to hit the brakes to be able to save and have the future that you want (safety net and future investments). I thought your budget was really sensible, since to me everyone should be budgeting to reach financal safety. And a budget must fit necessities first and what's leftovers are fun things you want. The fact that you are not able to stop yourself from making a purchase for something that you don't truly need (food, shelter, hygiene, safety) suggests that you may still be addicted to shopping, but obviously you're the one living your life so you know yourself better ! Also, wanting to be sustainable is great, but if you can't afford it, get what you need (swimsuit that fits, underwear) from a non sustainable brand, and let the persons who are richer get the sustainable stuff ! No one will drag you for it.
Anyways, I might be way off since this video is from June, but in any case I wish you the best !
Thank you so much for your comment, it was so thoughtful. And you’re absolutely right about everything. Since I made this video I kind of realized this on my own and sort of just stopped shopping. So I’m definitely on the right track although I still have some stuff to figure out. And you’re also right about the sustainability thing, it’s easy to forget that it is such a privilege to worry about that stuff. Wishing you well x
i can really relate to how you've been feeling about the low buy lately. in this past month, and even now, it's become so hard to do it while managing other things in life. i think i've improved in some areas of my consumption, but i also look back at what/how much i bought a few months ago and it seems like it's barely changed. to be honest, i've come to dread editing those videos bc i hate hearing myself talk about what i buy over and over again when i've already thought about it all month. it feels overwhelming at times, but also i can't tell if i'm just bad at managing things haha
no i completely agree! it’s overwhelming when u document everything, and i thought at first it was because i was overconsuming and that i should just fix that (which it is to an extent) but i think if anyone was to write down every single thing they bought every month it would be quite a lot. i’m still gonna stick with it at least for a while longer but i’m also gonna be more aware of not overdoing it going forward😅
@@AndreaJensen I think I’ll take a similar approach. I’m not sure that I’ll continue it in the same way, if at all, after this year is over. I’d just like to have a healthy relationship with buying things-no guilt for spending but not over-consuming all the time
@@akay4283 me too! and for now i think that means not worrying too much tbh - the more i try to limit myself the more obsessed about spending i seem to become so i think at least for a while it's probably just better to chill out about it.
Hi Andrea , I’ve just gone on a make up replacement low buy July till November . New subscriber to your channel I’ll look forward to watching more of your content .
yay that’s so exciting good luck! and thank u💕
@@AndreaJensen thank you and your welcome
I totally resonate with how you feel! It’s definitely a struggle for me too. Just curious, what do you do for work or are you still in school?
i graduated from uni last year and im currently unemployed so that definitely also has something to do with how im feeling at the moment!❤️
